THE COMING DEVELOPMENT CONVENTION.
Salem will entertain progressive boosters from nil parts of the
state November 23, 29, 30 in a great development convention.
The brightest and best promoters in four states will be present,
and addresses will be delivered to boost Oregon.
Salem will naturally come in for a great deal of praise and
compliment, but our people will have something to do.
The city should be cleaned up and decorated, and made to look
bright and beautiful for those three days. l
Merchants will do their part by showing that Salem is a well
equipped trading city in every respect. 1
To this should be added a general spirit of hospitality to all
the vinitors by attending the sessions.
Let us show them our city, show them our fine business houses
and the public institutions of the city.
. o
LET THE PEOPLE TRY AGAIN FOR FAIRMOUNT PARK.
It is not too late for the people to get some kind of a park on
top of Falrmount Hill.
The fourteen acres on the sidehill has been sold off for a dairy
pasture. '
Some of the choicest of the land offered the city for a park has
been taken for residences. '
But the city has acquired the block and a half containing the
water reservoir.
The noble grove of fir trees is still standing, and before it is
sacrificed for firewood some effort should be made to secure it for
a park.
There is no excuse for allowing that grove to be destroyed, al
though there are noble souls who will immediately cry graft at
even this belated proposition.
Fairmount Park would carry .if submitted to the people again.
Parks should not be gifts of millionaires, but should be
bought with public funds and paid for out of a tax on all property
The Capital Journal does not even know who are the present
owners of the property, but believes an effort should be made by
the city government to secure that property at any fair price.
In building a greater and more beautiful Capital City it will
not do to expend all our energies on Willson park, Marion park,
or even in beautifying Willamette campus.
There should be, a few personswho look beyond the old city
limits and contemplate the city as it will be extended fifty years
ftvm now.
The Capital Journal believes the people in their better judg
ment would approve a park on the north, the south and east of
the city. .
The Park Board should consider these matters on a broad basis
and inaugurate a policy of an annual tax levy for a park fund,
and then have power to act whenever suitable property can be
had.
Why wait for rich men to die and donate the city parks?
o . .
PEOPLE DO NOT APPROVE SALARY RAISING.
Of the SI measures submitted to the people at the Oregon
election 23 were defeated by popular vote.
The one against which the largest majority was cast was the
bill to give a judge in Raker county $1000 additional salary.
That is the opinion the peoplehave of the work of the last leg
islature in raising salaries the way they did.
More than half the bills passedwere bills to raise salaries, and
they had to puss them over the veto of a Democratic governor.
They had to strike out the referendum and put on fictitious
emergency clauses to keep them from being referred.
The way they snowed under the salary raise for that Baker
City judge shows what they umld have done ilith the rest'of the
grabs.
A number of gentlemen .wearing high titles must feel that they
are skating on thin ice with the salaries they are drawing.
AN ERA OF REFORM IN TAXATION.
The people of Portland shouldrejoice that their city tax levy is
only six mills.
It id true, their valuations have been trebled and quadrupled,
but they ought to be thankful.
The city engineering department and the street cleaning de
partment cost about the same amount
Taxes for hundreds of departments are piling up, and all ate
multiplying their grafts. ,
In all department are demands for Increased salary, and the
alary business is improving.
The times are growing tighter, and the people must realize
that they owe a duty to the government.

THURSDAY'S
GAME SHOULD
BE A GOOD OIIE
Dr. Sweetland. coach of the Wil
lamette University' football team, is
not certain of victory on next Thurs
day against Pacific University. Pa
cific has developed a great deal
since the first of the season and she
has probably been laying low on pur
pose to catch Willamette napping.
They have a very clever coach, who
has drilled them In trick plays and
open work, and It is quite possible
that someone may get loose ' on
Thanksgiving day.
Coach Sweetland la acquainted
with all thla sort of "bluff" which
Pacific ha been scattering around
that she ha no chance against Wil
lamette. It la don for the purpose
of getting the team here at Salem
over confident of victory, and wh n
a team get over-confident it haa o
great deal to overcome when It
comes up against the unexpected.
The team here has been working
hard to get Into shape by Thursday
afternoon. Captain McMaechen had
his arm qnlte seriously wrenched In
the Multnomah game and will be
unable to play on Thanksgiving
Day. This Is to be much regretted
since the substitute material Is ra
ther weak. Raymond Rowland has
been practicing In McMaechln's
place and he seems to be doing very
well. The rest of the team seems to
bo In the pink of condition and
should render a very favorable ac
count of themselves next Thursday
afternoon.

Home"THEBIG
RED APPLE"
NO iubject connected with the develop
ment of the West is attracting more
attention than the great profits Oregon apple
growers are making. Other states produce
. , Jar more apples than Oregon, but Oregon
leads the world, according to the largest
dealers in apples in this country, in quality
of product and high prices received for same.
'Oregon is a great apple state, and Salem
uhe Willamette Valley) is the original home
of the big red apple that is making a stir
throughout the world. .
The largest producing apple orchard in
Oregon is located near Salem, the vicinity of
which is also noted for its prunes, cherries,
hops and small fruits.
Salem is the center of Oregon's prune
industry, Oregon producing 90 per cent of
the "Italian" prunes grown in this country.
Salem is the center of Oregon's hop industry,
and Oregon produces 40 per cent of the hops
crown in the United States. Salem is known
as the "Cherry City of the World," the Wil
lamette Valley, of which Salem is the center,
originating more commercial varieties of
cherries than any other section of this country.
If you are interested in fruit growing, dairying,
