piugo what will linppcn In the Wil
liiniutto Valley when the Tort land,
Nugeno & Eastern Kail Ih operating
lla 340 miles of electrle roads through
thn district, It Ih fair to assume, that
1,000,000 people, will ho enumerated an
residents of tho valley when thn nrxt
census Is taken. 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. When Urn Angeles began to build
Intnrurhan eleclrlo railroads In 1s!i:i
thn population of th" county In which
the city Ih located wiih l'J.ri,0Ml. Today
there aro 1,000,000 pcoplo within a
radius of DO miles of that, city, and
2,700 passenger tralim dally carry
200,000 pcoplo In and out of that city.

Important centers of this activity. Tho

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

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 enormity of the business carried
on bv them during the past year

(1912) will give some idea of what
the establishment means to the city
of Salem and the state of Oregon. 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.
Wishes all of its patrons a Merry Xmas and
a Happy New Year, and takes this opportun
ity to state that its policy during the coming
year will be the same as has heretofore char
acterized the success of the present manage
ment the most courteous treatment possible
and the very best service obtainable for each
and every one of the Hotel Marion's guests.
