Mil. GEORGE EYRE, AFTER SEE.
INQ THE MIDDLE WEST COM KM
HACK WITH A HIGHER AXI
BETTER OPINION OF OREGON'
THAN EVER IT IS A TOP
XOTCHER. Mr. George Eyre has just returned
from a couple of weeks spent In Iowa
and Illnols, boosting for Oregon and
getting additional colonists to come
to the land of opportunity. Mr. Eyre
came to Salem several years ago and
Invested money freely In city proper
ty, In farm lands, and is one of the
principal factors In the development
of the present United States National
bank, which he helped organize as
the Salem State Bank.
Mr. Eyre Interviewed.
"I put In most of my time at Otta
wa, 111., and then went to Chicago,
and from there to Fort Dodge, la.
There I spent a week Investigating
conditions. There is no use talking,
they have got farm lands for rais
ing corn and hogs too high all
thrpugh Iowa and Illinois. They are
getting 38 cents a bushel for corn
that costs 25 cents to raise and mar.
ket, and they are hard! up. With crops
like strawberries, apples, prunes,
pears and cherries bringing $100 to
$300 per acre land v'alces can go to
$300 per acre land values can go to
an outlook for a profit from the soil.
But not so In the corn belt. When
lands were cheap we could raise corn
and sell It for 18 cents a bushel. But
those days are past and gone. I
have traveled In 26 states of the
Union, and am always satisfied to
come bark to Oregon. I am a, man
who visits schools wherever I happen
to be, and I want k Bay to your read
ers that, take Salem and the country
schools of Oregon, and we have the
East beat a sky-craper In every way.
Salem Is the best town, educational
ly, In the United S'.tes. Our city
ana country schools are ahead of
Iowa and Illinois, and that Is saying
a great deal, and I believe I know
what I am talking about. I am
ready to stake my last dollar on Ore
gon and the Capital City. I have
never made an Investment here in
property or business that did not pay,
and others have done just as well a
I have." 1 , '

DITIONAL STORY IN NEAR FU
TURE. Negotiations which have been un
dor way for the past week looking to
the leasing by the Salem Bank &
Trust company of the Dr. B. L.
Sleeves' building on the corner of
State and Liberty streets for a per
iod of SO years, were completed to
day and as soon as the board of di
rectors of the banking Institutions
formally meet and pass upon the pa
pers in the deal the proper officers
will execute the necessary papers,
The Salem Bank & Trust company
endeavored several weeks ago to se
cure the Vleranl building recently
purchased by Wm. McGilchrlst, Jr.,
but the price asked was not satisfac
tory and it turned its attention to
other property available with the re
suit that it Anally secured a 50-year
lease on the Steeves building. The
consideration of the lease is said to
be $55,000, and at the end of the 50-
year period the property, together
with all the improvements made upon
It by the bank, will revert to the
heirs of Dr. Steeves.
To improve Building.
The lower portion of the building
is now leased by the Crown Drug
company and the Roth Grocery conv
pany and as sfcon as the leases expire
the company Intends to convert that
portion occupied by the drug com
pany into a home for the bank. An
additional story to the building Is
planned and the interior as a whole
Is to be remodeled. The upper por
tlons, It Is planned, to use mostly for
office rooms and their equipment will
be modern. Another feature In con
nection with the contemplated im
provements will be a modern elevator
system.

Portland, dr., March 24. Arrested
In Portland today Rowley Moon, a
bartender, was taken to Vancouver,
Wash., today, where he will be held
pending an investigation into the
deaths of Edwin Goodwin, 13, and
his bnather, Clyde Ransom Goodwin,
10, sons of Mrs. Edwin Goodwin, who
died! under unexplained circumstances
yesterday.
The lives of the children were In
sured for $10u each, and a few
hours previous to their deaths from
either ptomaine or some other poi
son Mrs. Goodwin paid their insur
ance premium.
Moon Is said to be a close friend
of the woman.
She asserted that they died after
eating Chinese noodles, which she
had purchased for them.
A thorough investigation Is now
being made by the police and sheriff's
office, as physicians declare that the
children died while in a stupor, and
did not suffer from convulsions, such
as attend ptomaine poisoning.
Physicians say the symptoms that
.preceded their deaths were similar to
those superinduced by an overdose of
chloral.
