SALEM A FINE LITTLE CITY
BUT SHE NEEDS MORE LIGHT
AND CLUSTER LIGHTS ARE "IT"
General Manager Hild Told of What the Company Is Doing

But to Build up the Cities Where it Operates, and Make

State Will Stand in Others Highly Favor It.

steel men, to merge the Repub-
lie Iron and Steel company, the
G. A. R. Encampment Opens.
A luncheon was served at noon to
day by Rollin K. Page, manager ot
the Portland Railway Light and
Power company to the members ol
the executive committee of the Salem
board of Trade and the Business
Men's League. In connection with
these men the officials of the P. R.
L fc P. Co. met to offer for consid
eration the proposition of cluster
lights on the streets of Salem.
Those present at the luncheon
were: F. W. HUd, general manager
for the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company; W. T. Buchanan,
publicity agent; E. C. McMlcken,
sales manager; J. L. Day, special so
licitor; I.. K. Page, local manager;
District Attorney John H. McNary,
H. W. Meyers, R. J. Hendricks,
Councilman Huckesteln, Councilman
White, R. M. Hofer, C. E. Grelle, of
the Independent Foundry Co., of
Portland ; J, A. Walson, Max Buren,
Secretary Hofer, of the Board of
Trade; Charles Spauldlng, Council
man Hill, Secretary of State Olcott,
Ceo. Shnnd, and F. G. Deckebach.
Mr. Hild, general manager of the
company, spoke first. He said it was
usually customary for a newcomer
like himself to compliment the town
In which he was speaking, etc., but
that under the circumstances he
thought tills unnecessary, that he
would simply say that Salem was the
"biggest little city" in the state ot
Oregon today. He said the backers
of the P. R. l. & P. Co. were public
spirited men and had done much
niore to boost Oregon and the North
west than the public generally gave
them credit for. In the five years
that they have owned the railway
company, k has taken in $19,000,000
and in those five years they have ex
pended -1-14,000.000. During these
Ave years $600,000 were taken in at
Salem, hiie the expenditures in
that time in Salem "were $1,100,000.
He said he wished to state on behalf
of President Josselyn that the com
pany did not intend to stop, but is
going ahead building to meet the fu
ture developments. Six new cars
are in Portland, now being prepared
to ship here within a few days. An
excellent equipment will be put onto
handle the State Fair business. - He
said that in taking up the" cluster
light proposition, it was not a money
making proposition for the company
in the street lights themselves, but
it would be a money maker for them
in the future, as 'the minute these
lights were introduced on the streets
It would show the people the value
of light and that more lights would
be used by private parties and in
this indirect way they would reap
their profit.
At the present time Salem Is us
ing about halt the light used In the
cities of this size and the best way
of building up their lighting busi
ness was by showing the people what
cluster lights would do in the way
of getting business for the mer
chants.
Mr. Deckabach then made a short
talk complimenting the railway com
pany on what they had been doing.
saying that people little realized thn
proposition they were up against in
a city the size of Salem.
Mr. Buchanan, the publicity man
for the P. R. L. & P. Co. said that
the light proposition was merely a
matter of publicity. That the elec
tric signs in New York had made Its
"Great White Way" known the world
nvpr And that, what Herht. rnulri dn In
a big city it could do in a small c'.y
like Salem. He said that lights were
business eetters for side streets as
well as the main streets , and that
they Improved the value of all prop
erty.
Mr. A. C. McMlcken. sales manager
for the company, explained the plana

THE PENNY JOURNAL
GOOD FOR ADVERTISERS
The popularity of the 1 c Capital Journal as sold on
the streets is clearly evidenced every evening, when
the newsboys sell 300 to 400 copies. The Journal
introduced the penny paper to popularize it with home
People and to make a more valuable advertising medium
for our merchants. As an illustration of its value to the
advertiser, take Saturday night. About 400 men bought
the paper on the street. Probably a majority of these
men are the head of a family. They take the paper
home and their wives look it over. As it is Saturday
mght the whole family goes down town together
While some bargain which they have just noticed in the
Paper is fresh in their minds, they stop in the store and
see about it. Saturday night shopping is becoming a
feature in Salem, as it is about -the only time a working
man has the opportunity to look around the stores.
Several of the merchants are beginning to realize
this and offer special bargains for Saturday night shop
P,nS. It will always pay the readers of the Journal to
glance over its advertisements, as the firms that give
the bargains are represented there.

Wherever he went, as soon as any
