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

ments of all kinds.

THE CITY DADS
CAN NOW TELL
WHEH TO QUIT
Evidently for the purpose of deter
minlne to the exact minute Just how
much time Is needlessly v.asted at
each of the sessions of the city
council by the councilman that body
last evening passed a resolution di
recting the building committee to
purchase a clockand Install it in the
council chamber.
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. Cardui has
done me more good than any medi
cine I ever took In my life. I can't
possibly praise It too highly." You
need not be afraid to take Cardul.
It Is no new experiment. For 50
years It has been found to relieve
headache, backache, and similar wo
manly troubles. Composed of gentle
acting, herb Ingredients, Cardui
builds up the strength, preventing
much unnecessary pain. Try it for
'your troubles, today.
