THE CITY LOSES A TEIEND.
DEATH, in his own time, lays his
heavy hand on all. On the babe,
whose eyes he but permits to see
the light, then remoriioloesly closes for
ever; on the toddling little one whose
little prattle, so dear to mother and
father, is relentlessly silenced; on the
youth, full of ambition and courage,
whose visions of great things to be
achieved are ruthlessly destroyed; on
the girl blooming into womanhood; on
the mother, with her firstborn by hor
side; on the adult in the full vigor of
manhood, and on him whoso years he has
allowed to reach thoir full length. And
it is indocd a heavy hand in every case,
a hand that wrenches heart strings to
the breaking point, and bears down the
soul in dry-eyed anguish. This is what
he brings in every case to those near
and dear, but there are some cases,
where his heavy hand presses hard upon
the entire community.
This is the case today as Salem learns
of the passing of "Andy" Hofer, for
the whole city had learned to rely on
him. Far-seeing, energetic, creative, he
was always in the van of those move
ments that tended to Salem 'b welfare
and betterment. Ilis active brain con
ceived and his willing hands carried out
innumerable things for the city's ad
vancement. Evory move for greater
growth, for bettor conditions, for put
ting Salem to the front; and placing
hor attractions and her opportunities
before the world found "Andy" Hofer
at its head. His services as secretary
of the Board of Trado are not yet fully
appreciated for their effects are now
being realized and with ever increasing
force. It were an horculcan task to at
tempt to enumerate what he has done in
this line, for if anything done here for
Salem's benefit is traced back, it will
show "Andy" Hofer either as its ori
ginator or advocate.
Salem Indeed owes him much and it
is a dobt that will assume larger propor
tions as the years pass by and the city
profits by the good works done by him.
While the whole city mourns in pro-
found sympathy with those nearest and
dearest to him so sadly and so ruthless
ly bereaved, it for itsolf has a deep and
sincere regret at its own loss, as a com-
munity.
SALEM'S FUTURE IS ASSURED.
THERE IS NOT an inland city in
the United Statos today whose
prospects of Bteady and rapid
growth are brightor than thoso of Sa
lem. There is not ono that can bIiow a
steadier or more substantial growth
than Salem has had in the past four
years. In that time Bhe has increased
in population at leal 70 per cent, and
bids fair at tho end of 1013 to have
double the population the had at the
beginning of the year 1SIW, or to have
doubled her population in five years.
Hor development has kept in full pace
with her growth, as witness the splen
did buildings erected in that time, five
and six story buildings modern in overy
way, beautiful in design, and of the
vory best construction. During the same
period hundreds of hanilKOine residences
have been -built, miles of etroot paved,
sower systom completed, and a broad
foundation laid for the great future
that surely awaits her. The groatest
features of that development however,
is in the addition to her transportation
facilities.
In the past four years, tho Oregon
Eloe.trie has been built, giving us spina
did servlco to Portland in addition to
that already given by the Southern
Pacific, and opening up new territory to
tho north, bringing it in touch with
Salem. This sumo road has built on to
tho south to Eugene, opening up new
territory and bringing in closer touch
with the capital city, residents along its
75 miles of new track.
During that time the Salem Tails City
& Western has been completed to Black
Rock and to the immense timber areas
of the Coast range and this connection
was recently perfected by the comple
tion of the big steel bridge across the
Willamette here, that cost nearly 300,-000.
Within the past year the branch road
to Fir has been completed, giving us
connection with Silverton and the rich
territory along the Woodburn-Spring-field
branch of the Southern Pacific,
and direct connection with the country
up the Mohawk to Wendling, and also
with Natron, which latter means, that
we will have direct connection with
Klamath Falls and all that section
when the Natron cut-off, now building
is comploted.
Besides this the P. E. & E., which has
taken over the Falls City & Western
and the branch road to Fir, is complet
ing a network of roads, all soon to be
electrified, and covering the whole val
ley, of which Salem Is tho center.
The future railroad development
promises great things and that at once.
The rights of way are already secured
from Salem to Stayton for the road up
the Santinm and on into eastern Oregon
through the Minto pass to Bend in
('rook county. Thenco it will run near
ly east through the center of eastern
Oregon to Ontario on Snake river where
it connects with the Oregon Short Line
road, giving Salem not only eommunica
tiou with eastern Oregon, but another
direct line to the east, This lino will
probably bo somewhat shorter than the
present line from Portland up the Co
lumbia.
Then there is the proposed line to
Newport one of the finest summer re
sortB in the northwest. This road will
open up a vast timber area and will be
one of the big factors in Salem's
growth.
It will be seen from this that Salem
is already considerable of a railroad
center, having lines extending in six
directions to which in the near future
will be added at least two more.
The transportation facilities are
great factor in the development of any
city bringing to it factories and whole
sale businesses, and Salem 'b splendid
central location in close touch with
big and rapidly developing territory,
making it an ideal location for that
kind of institutions. She has now reach
ed that stago in her development where
she is able to in a measure help herself
to what sho wants, and there is nothing
now that ean stop her growth.
X-RAYS AND SMILES.
Lillian Russell is going to Europe for
the especial purpose of gathering data
for an illustrated lecture to show that
the conditions of working women is
Europe are worse than those in Amer
ica. As this will do no one any good,
unless it is to help swell the once fair
Lillian 's bank roll, it seems to be an
unnecessary bit of labor in behalf of
the down-trodden American employer.
Over in England the insurance com
panies have taken up a new line, "In
surance against damage by suffrag
ettes." This is putting that bunch of
ladies in the class with fires, floods and
other calamities and may cause the
'blowing up" of the insurance com
panies. Miss Zelie Emerson, an American
suffragette, was thrown in jail in Eng
land for violating the laws and made
to scrub floors. Tho throwing in jail iB
easily belioved, but the making her
scrub floors nothing doing if she was
a real suffragette.
e
The Stayton Mail says in a big head
line, "Railroad from Salem is in the
air. " That's correct, and it will not
be a long time until it is on the ground.
Some one remarks that "a woman's
mind is so much cleaner than a man's
because she changes it so often." It's
safe bet it was no candidate for of
fice in an equal suffrage state, that
fathered the remark.
t '
The proverb has it that "you can
lead a horse to water, but you cannot
make him drink," now has a modern
truism in the similar statement that
'you can put a suffragette in jail, but
you cannot make her eat."
According to the railroad commission,
the C. & E. is only two streaks of rust
and a right of way, and some breaks in
both.
The Presbytery of Southern Oregon
aa endorsed the proposition to Btart a
school in that part of the state for the
education of Chinese residents. Any
one acquainted with the Chinese char
acter knows they know enough now to
manage their business affairs pretty
well. What else can be profitably
taught themf
Next year, whon the P. E. & E. gots
through electrifying all its roads and
the peoplo of Oregon, it will use part of
ts surplus, if it has any, in buying a
couple of springs and putting in an au
tomatic switch on South Commercial
street. The conductors do the automat
ic stunt gracefully enough but they
somotimes, inadvertently, of course,
tread on some fellow's corns, and then
the company loses the good will of that
especial patron. If the public will be
patient, tho attention of Attorney
Moody will be called to it, and he will
toll the management, and it will lay it
bofore the board of directors, and if it
does not interfere with dividends they
will send glad news led-taping back so
that the switch will be attended to
next year.
