COMPAR
TWO CITIES
FINDSi, THINGS TO SAY ABOUT
EUGENE AND SALEM THEIR
POSSIBLE CENSUS RETURNS
, BOTH ARE EDUCATIONAL
CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS.
"A Salem real ostato booster who
.has Just returned from a few dnys
cpent at Eugeno, has tho following
comparisons to mako botween tho
two cities:
"A number of Eugono people have
tho idea that this town is larger
than Salora In many ways, aside
from a possible larger population.
Some oven believe Eugeno's popula
tion is larger than that of tho Capi
tal City. Tho only reasonable nr
cuso ' Eugoria has for not knowing
;tbo real . facts is duo largely to tho
fact' that' she Is a ilttlo out of tho
world', lylrig 123 miles south from
the metropolis. Thoro is not enough
coioporSftion, or visiting, if you
ploaso, carrlod on by Eugono people
with hor sister cities far down tho
valloy.
' ""'in other words, Eugene is car
' rled' away with her own boosting
and Is boglnntng to bollevo it her-
solf. ' Because sho has heard a con
tinual ding-dong about tho wonder
ful' city of Eugono for a long timo,
Eugono has begun to think Bho is
.the greatest city in Oregon, outside
"of Portland. Whon it gets to bo n
supposed foot that Eugono Is largor
than Salem, it is ttmo to enlighten
the poe-ple of Eugene who aro. de
ceived. That Eugono may bo a lit
tle moro oaroful in tho futuro, Sa
lem is going to opon hor oyos to
the question of population. That Is,
Undo NSnm will cloar nwny any i
doubts ns to the population of Eu
gono and Saloin, when tho census
rotnrns como in.
"Whlio n cqiibus may bo necessary
to sottlo tho quostlon as .to which
city hns tho groatest populatlqn,
thoro can bo no dlsputo over tho
commorqlal valuo of tho two 'gar
dons' of tho Willnmotto Vnlloy.
"Eugono has about Ave miles of
stroot railway systom, thrqo hotoU,
n largo nunibor of small mercantile
ostnbllshiuonts of. all klmls, paved
stroois, a stato unlvoralty, pretty do
pot grounds, sawmill, axcolslor fac
tory, moving ploturo shows, opora
house and a naturol railroad contor
at Sprlngllald, four miles distant.
"Hugojio runs tho city In the in
terest of her state schools, belleviug
that 'dry' laws, though depriving
the olty of heavy revenue raises the
tone for hor school boys. She
closed tho saloons whon all thoy
noeded was some strict regulation
like it is anforcod in Salom. In ad
dition to rjlosod saloons, all moving
ploturo shows and cigar storos aro
olossi) on Sunday.
"Financially,' Eugono is taxing
hor property owhors 31 mills on
a 70 por cent valuation, raising this
city into factions. Tho city owns lto
own water system.
"Eugeno has no backing from her
surrounding territory. Sho has no
great fruit bolts or agricultural dis
tricts to draw trade from .her many
merchants. Hor great hope Is la
materializing proposed railroads
"She is threatened with a, now
county on one end (Nesmlth and ex
pects to have a slice carved off the
qthor end for another new county,
In the event two new counties are
created out of part of Lano county,
Eugeno's great boast of 34,000,000,-
00Q feet of marketable timber will
suffer heavy shrinkage. While
thoro may bo no dispute as to Eu-
gono's surrounding territory being
capablo of raising tho best fruit and
agricultural products of any place
on earth, yet the fact remains that
she Is not doing t nbw. What sho
is doing now must be considered
when comparing hor with other 'val
ley towns. If protty looks had any
thing to do with the financial and
commercial standing of Eugono, it
would have all the rest of the towns
"badly skinned," as tho curb-stono
orator says. However, tho 'poet says,
'Beautiy Is sometimes only skin
deep.'
"So far as population goes, if
Eugono can muster a total of 12,000
pooplo for hor coming census, she
ought to bo highly pleased.
"As to Salom'e population, It i
woll known that Bho Is much larger
than Eugene, Salem has at least
18,000 inhabitants. After tho pres
ont cons.us roturns Salom should
havo between 20,000 and 25,000
pepplo. Sho operates over IB miles
of street railway system, has all tho
stqte institutions, county buildings
and, flno city hall, wldo streots and
pavod, macadamized county roads
leading Into tho city. Sho is notml
for bolng. a beautiful city.
"Salom's 'fruit bolts aro known a'l
over tho world. Sho Is. the "cherry
city" of Oregon, and thoroforo, the
world. Hor famous prunes are ont
on In ovdry civilized country on tho
globo. Hor agricultural products
are enormous in quantity and of the
nnost in quality. Salem Is also tho
hop center of the world, growing 30
per cent of all hops raised. Local
warehouses hundlo 10 por cont of 1
tho ontiro output. Ovdr COO cars of
prunos are shipped out of Salmi,
ovory soHSon, bosldos many carloads
of apples, ptura, barrios, ohorrlea,
poaches, oto. This fruit and agricul
tural backing Is what makes Salom
forevor the most thrifty city In the
valloy.
"Salom Is not n wldo-opon town In
tho popular sense of tht word. He'
saloons nre under constant rogu'a
tlon, and bring nn nnnunl lncohio of
something like $10,000 per year In
licenses. 'Salem is also as well
known a school town as Eugene.

SPLENDID MUSIC
AL COMEDY
A press notice says: "A comic
opora of delightful quality and un
usual merit both in book, lyrics and
score is "The Gingerbread Man"
which will be given this evening
with tho original No. 1 company
fresh from a tour of the larger cities
where It has enjoyed unusual suc
cess in this the third year of its pre
sentation. The reason for this is
obvious. Tho piece is one of cer
tain merit first of all for Us par
ticularly beautiful music, which by
the way was compqsed by A. Bald
win Sloane, who has given us such
tuneful compositions ns "Tho Mock
ing Bord," "Jack and the Bean
Stalk," "Sergeant Kitty," "Broad
way to Toklo" and "Coming
Through tho Rye." Mr. Sloane's
music Is not only tuneful, but It Is
written In a musician's style, and
although It has a trick of catching
the ear, It has class which enabled
Its composer to rank with the be3t
that America produces. One charm
about Mr. Sioano's works is that he
novor writes alike and his themes
are so varied that tho fault of
sameness so noticeable in many com
posers, sorno oven who havo
achieved greatness, Is not noticeable.
He has no particular stylo and musi
cians that are .familiar with his
work aro often surprised at the
broadness of his flold In the musical
literature. Ho has gotten to that
point 'where ho dominates with al
most ovory author that ho collabor
ates with, and frequently lyrics are
written to his measure when tho
usual mode' Is that the lyrios are
written first and the inusio after
ward. Tills as a rule insures a
more successful score and In "Tim
Glngerbroad Man" wo find almost i
perfect one. This may probably be
accounted for from the fact that
tVodorlak G. Rankin and A. Baldwin
Slonno woro In perfect accord."
