5 Oldest NEW YEARS 1911 GREATER SALEM AND WESTERN OREGON DEVELOPMFNT EDITION DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL National Bank in. Marion County Located at Salem CAPITAL NATIONAL SALEM. BANK OF -' . - I ., - ...? -s V a "y .- The condition of general affairs in a city or community are clearly re flected by the growth and prosperity of financial Institutions and well post ed Investors first make an investiga tion of the banks and if they show a constantly increasing business and heavy deposits It Is readily under stood that the busless men are pro gressive and general conditions good. Salem banks have long been known for their stability and strength and it is questionable if finantial Institu tions In cities of equal sizes or even larger anywhere in the coun try have shown a relative greater In crease In deposits and resources. The Capital National Bank Is the oldest 'national bank In Marion county and for more than forty years the peo ple of this part of the country have been intimately acquainted with Its highly honored prealdent, J. H. Al bert, he being one of the oldest ' bankers In the west In point of years actually engaged in financial affairs. He has now reached the three score ytar and ten period of life but is still active and energetic and takes as ac tive an interest in public affairs as at any time during his entire career.

The extension of the Oregon Elec-! trie Line south to Albany and even! Eugene, is one of the things looked! for in the railroad world during the new yr. It will be no great surprise if the Welch lines now running to the Fair! Grounds are continued east to Silver ton, nor if an electric line Is started to Stayton In 1911. Another possibility for Salem this year is that the .motor line In West Salem may enter Salem over a bridge and come in direct touch with the town proper. v There has been some talk of bring ing the old railroad bridge at Port land to Salem and spanning the river at this point. There is no question but that something Is brewing in railroad cen ters, as J. J. Mill has been looking Into Salemi quite frequently of late, and Mr. Hill never was much of a band to go visiting for the pleasure of the thing, especially when he has his hands as full as they are now. Salem has Just elected a young and energetic mayor, who is not afraid to do things, and It is quite likely he will do his part In makng 1911 a record yoar for development. The Board of Trade will continue its activities in bringing people here and with the eyes of the East cen tered on the great Northwest there is no reason why this, the heart of the great Willamette valley, should not have a most prosperous and pro church was remodeled and enlarged at an expense of $1500.

Many wooden Driages and culverts have torn out and re placed with re-lnforced concrete structures, in fact the city has prac tically adopted the policy of abolish ing wooden bridges. Building permits, issued from the first of January to the 28th of Octo ber, of this year, have agregated $518,140. Freight shipments in car lots, ori ginating at Salem, during the current ;year, and made tip entirely of local products, such as prunes, hops, fruit, etc.. have agregated 932 cars. The assessed-valuation of property in the city in 1905 was $2,640,618, in the year 1910 the total exceeds $10,000,000. Our population according to the state sensus of 1905 was 10,050, and although the federal census for 1910 has not been returned, a very conser vative estimate places the population at 14,000, Salem's postal receipts for the year 1905 amounted to $27,151.37, and for the year ending October 1, 1910 $55,238.39. With these figures, no argument is -necessary to establish the fact of Sa lem's great growth and prosperity.

Quote me if you wish to, and make it all in the super lative degree. The Willamette Val ley is tha garden spot of the United States." BECAUSE It is situated in a very thickly populated rural portion of the state, 25 and 25 miles north of Salem on the Electric Line only an hour's ride either way. BECAUSE you do not need to wait Indefinitely for a railroad. It is there now, with 22 trains daily, passing over its tracks through our orchards. BECAUSE such rapid transit affords both educational and social advantages. BECAUSE we can save you money if you purchase here instead of In a more highly advertised fruit center, where you will pay as high as $1,200 an acre for four-year-old apple trees. Would you like to realize $600 from one acre of apples? That is what Mr. A. J. Stephenson, of Buttevllle, Oregon, did this year. His orchard Is within a short distance of Fargo, with the same kind of soil, loca tion, etc. Except bis is not a modern commercial orchard. He said that If his trees had been scientifically cared for ln years past (as the Fargo Orchards will be) that he would have received from $1,000 to $1,200 for this one acre crop. Another man. Dear Hubbard, which is but a few miles from Fargo, received for his 1910 crop of apples from 35 acres of only 6-year-old trees, a net return of $6,500. As these trees grow older, the returns will correspondingly Increase. If you are skeptical, tell us so and we shall gladly put you In touch with men ln this neighborhood who have made good. There is nothing' like uctual fucts to verify expectations or promises. We cite these instances not to show what might be done, but what has been done ln the same vicinity. There is no guess-work as to the safety of this Investment. TERMS. THE FARGO ORCHARDS, divided into five and ten acre tracts, range in price from $300 to $500 per acre. This price includes all Interest, all tuxes, the care, cultivation, spraying, and development, under the direc tion ofexpert Horticulturists for a period of four years or longer. A cash payment of 20 per cent la re quired, and 20 per cent annually thereafter. You pay no interest for Four Years. We give you a town lot in Fargo Townsite Free. A COMPARISON Did you ever stop to figure out an Investment in a city house and lot? You can pay for such a purchase ln 5 or 10 years, during which time Interest will add from $1,000 to $2,000 to your pay ments. When paid for, your property may be worth $5,000, which, at the. most, will probably bring $500 a year rent. The same Investment ln an orchard tract will, at the end of six years, conservatively bring an income of at least $3,000 to $5,000 annually. Which do you prefer!

The social life of the Capital City is also directly affected by the operation of -this road. It makes easily available tile mountain resorts near Falls City and as the schedules are arranged so ; that people may spend the day in the mountains, returning late the same day, and at nominal expense, the summer months witness a verit able exodus of those who appreciate the new order of things and take ad vantage of the opportunity presented of an enjoyable outing where nature . has been lavish ln her preparation! for their coming and where the greatest enjoyment may be had.
