PAGE FOCB. CAPITAL JOURNAL, BALEU OREGON. TUESDAY. JUNE 13, 1UI1 SALEM GROWING LIKE JONAH'S BUSINESS BUILDINGS PROPOSEB GREAT CROP OF GRAIX, SPLEX. MO FRUIT PROSPECTS ANO HOPS CERTAIX OF A TREMEXD OU9 ALL POIXT TO A SEASON' OF UNEXAMPLED TROSPERITV. FAMOUS GOURD The year 1911 is surely going to bo Oregon's greatest year la all re spects. Most people are just begin' nlng to realize that the vast devel opment, the Immigration and all phases of activity are the greatest ev er experienced or anticipated by the Oregon people. The statement re cently made by Theo. B. Wilcox con cerning the crop prospects, the excel lency of the money market and the great amount of railroad building to be done, is almost startling to many readers, and Oregon's people are be ginning to awaken to a realization of the great things in store for them. Salem certainly has occasion to be gratified over existing coalitions. We have the greatest grain and hay crop In Bight for many years. Fruit of all kinds is above the average. The prospect is that our vast hop crop will be sold at from 20 to 30 cents per pound, and that means that the Income from within a radius of 15 miles about Salem will amount to 12,500,000. Prunes are being con. tracted at figures that will range from 5 to 7 cents per pound, to say nothing of the prices that will be re ceived for those shipped fresh. Salem will handle Jl.000,000 worth of prunes. The potato crop of Marlon county ia something enormous, and the prospect is that good prices will prevail for all kinds of produce. These various crops will give Salem prosperity, If everything else should fail to materialize. The real estate market was never the Steeves corner at $55,000. Just the other day Geo. E. Waters and Joe Artnlnh hnueht the Hirschberg cor ner for $28,000. Buyers are hunting foi; opportunities to get noia or ousi ness property In. Salem, and there Is practically nothing on the market. Tn thd building line, it is needless to refer to the hundreds of residences going up: this growth is seir-evuieni. In addition Salem has four large public buildings assured, one Is the new state library and supreme court building, for which the legisa ture appropriated $150,000. Ground will be broken for a six-story Mason ic temple within 60 days. Plans are about perfected on the $40,000 ar mory, and the new $30,000 Carnegie library will be started as soon as the eronnda are cleared. There is not a vacant business building in the city. Parties stand ready to build as soon as desirable sites can be procured. More public improvements are being made than ever before In the history of the city. In fact, Oregon's capital city is being rapidly transformed, and one needs to be away but a Bhort time to notice the vast changes going on. Real estate sales among Salem peo. pie are constant, and many purchases are being made by new comers almost dally. One real estate firm reports more business for the montn ot may, just passed, than during any month in ten years previous. A good class of buyers are coming In from out side. . O. E.

Councilman Eldridge is the father of the resolution and he is a stickler for time. He has never been thejiu thor of lengthy speech during nis service on the council, and he has no sympathy for any one who Insists upon turning out a steady stream of fancy talk with his mouth duiing each session. He has the faculty of framing his ideas In a few words, and never indulges in the art of asking a thousand questions with relation to some subject that Is so simple that a child could understand it without any explanation. He made the resolution without any talk, and as tlmi was the consideration of the moment, it went through without any talk and eveiybody In the spectators' sections looked surprised. The clock Is to be a seven-day af fair as it requires less time to keep a time piece of that character going. 0T AX EXPERIMENT Paint Lick, Ky. Mrs. Mary Free man, of this place, says: "Before I commenced to take Cardul, I suffered so much from womanly trouble! I was so weak that I was down on my back nearly all the time.
