Tho population of the cities named nioio than doubled after nli'utrlo railroads became factors In transportation, and tho farm lands be cama bo much in demand that prices did not need Inflation In order to com mand reasonable) figures. It Ih true that pcoplo follow tho electric rail roads.

Tho rorlland, KiiReno & Eastern oiieratos tho street cars of this city and has purchased an entire block of ground In tho center of the business district where a central station will bo located and to which all city and Interurban trains will bo routed. From that point local Interurbans will lead out to Sll- vcrton on tho east, and crossing the now Bteel bridge at Ralom will unite tho Hast and West sides by the con 'noction to Dallas. And for tho first 'tlmo It will be possible for residents 'of tho West sldo to reach Salem with out transferring or following a twist ing route, Hut tho Important thing for this city will bo tho position of Salem on tho main North and South lino of tho P. VS. & VS., making it a 'distribution, center for tho Jobbing trade and a shipping point for land products that will have to bo con sidered by every Interest of the state. With these facts as to tho advance ment of cities and countries where electric railroads havo been built, and the situation of Salem as a part of the scheme for grldinmlng the valley by the P. B. & B., Salem has ns hesi tation about inviting attention from tho world. Incidentally, tho P. 11 & B. promises the best sorvlce ever given to the Wil lamette valley. Depots and stops will bo located wherever rcnoircd and at least 100 trainB per day will be Been In tho district, The Thomas Kay Woolen Mills are tho successors of one of the oldest Industrie in the Willamette Valley. Several generations of the Kay family have devoted their lives to woolen manufacture. Thomas Kay, Sr., who . ..o, ,), sniem mills, also established and conducted woolen mills at Browns ville and other places, 'ine naiu.u. combination of climate, water and production of raw material make the Willamette valley a splendid location for this Industry. The Salem Woolen Mills, under tho management of Thomas B. Kay, the present Stato Treasurer of Oregon, have enjoyed almost constant growth and prosperity. The products of theso mills have a large sale In New York, San Francisco ,i tw large distributing centers, and It Is a notable fact that out of all the material that Is manufactured in this city not a yard of cloth Is sold here. In this way. the Thomas Kay Woolen Mills bring thousands upon thousands of dollars into the city, em ploy Salem labor to the extent of nearly $100,000 per year, and do not take one cent from the consumers in this city, county or state, The Mills are one of the largest con cerns of its kind on the Pacific Coast.

The mills run day and night, employ 125 people at an expense of $75,000 per year. During the past year, 750,000 pounds of wool were manufactured into $310,000 worth of cloth. I Not only to the people of Salem Is ! m inrinatrv a trreat benefit, but to lillD J r- all of the farmers and wool growers nf the country. During the past year 1 nearly every pound of wool produced in the county of Marlon was purchased by tho mills at tho highest market price. Tho Ufa of the mills has passed the erperimcntal stage of development and has proved that the Willamette valley of Oregon will become one of the greatest manufacturing districts in the United States. The congeniality and optimism of Mr. Kay has permeated the business In all of Its phases. He believes In Oregon and that belief, backed up by work, has put his busi ness where It is today, and is helping to put Oregon among the leaders of the nation in her output of manufac tured products. And many a man who wants to kiss a girl against her will, wouldn't want to If Bho was willing.
