In the midst of our feasting or pre
paring to feast, it seems well that we
should recall how abundantly we are
supplied with the good things of life,
in contrast to those who celebrated
the first Christmas on the Pacific
Coast, the Lewis and Clark party, who
198 years ago dined on "spoiled elk,
pulverized salmon, and a few roots ob
tained from the Indians," But not
dismayed by this array of edibles,. his
tory tells as they fired salutes in honor
of the day, and among themselves ex
changed bits of fur, "weasel tails"
being a popular gift, for the people
of that day even as now, felt the
Christmas spirit that envolopcs us all,
and while there are some upon whom
the hand of affliction has rented so
heavily that it can not be a "Merry
fhristmas," yet to all may it be
peaceful Christ mat, with trouble for
gotten for the day.

COMMUNITY MAUSOLEU
BURIAL
Hf
Beautiful Mount Crest Abbey Nearing Completion in
City View Cemetery, Salem, Oregon
i
Salem will soon be the possessor of one of the moat beautiful and substantial Community
Mausoleums so far designed and erected undek' the patents of the International Mausoleum
Co. Oregon rights owned and controlled by the Portland Mausoleum Company, Portland,
Ore. No section of the United States is more in need of above-ground burial than the west
ern slope of the Pacific Coast, particularly the humid section, known as the Willamette
Valley.
That we, in this twentieth century, are becoming
broader and more progressive in our views, not only in
respect to those things which concern life, but death,
is indicated by the growing sentiment in favor of a
more scientific way of burying our dead. This is quite
as it should be, for we have much to learn from the
ancients as to the disposition of the remains of our
loved ones, and who shall say that burying in the
ground is more civilized than placing the dead in the
boughs of trees, as the American Indians did before
they adopted the ways of the white man? At least,
out on the plains and in the depths of the untrod for
ests, the mortal remains were placed in more agreeable
surroundings than under the ground exposed to the
ravages of vermin and permitting the chemical de
composition with results directly at variance with the
efforts of the living to place the bodies of the dead in
decent, not to say luxurious, habiliments. While striv
In g for the highest ideals in evolution of conditions
which makes toward economic and moral betterment
of tho living, why not continue those efforts by preserv
ing as far as possible the mortal remains of those whose
souls we have striven to elevate,
In truth "the paths of glory lead but to the grave,"
yet those who have achieved glory and the veneration
of their kind, are fitting of better recognition for their
services upon earth than a mere hole in it after they
mey nave unisnea their lite s work.
Now, however, it is possible to have the funeral cortege drive up to the entrance of a large
moisture and vermin-proof structure of handsome and substantial design, carry the casket
into a chapel, where the final services are said under proper conditions, and passing through
a corridor, deposit the remains in their final resting place in a snow white crypt, which is per
manently sealed. These are known as COMMUNITY MAUSOLEUMS and are to be found in
some of the leading cities of this country and in the smaller towns as well. These are con
structed and equipped in a special manner, fully protected by patents, and at a cost not to ex
ceed the ordinary burial in a c erne try lot.

It is naturally impossible to go into any extended explanation of these modern maso
leums in an article of this limited scope. - It may be pointed out, however, that all dangers
of contagion by the living visiting the burial place of the dead, as is the case in cemeteries,
are absolutely eliminated. Each crypt is equipped with drain pipes through which the gases
are conducted to the disinfecting recepticle to be purified be fore being released into the
open air.
w m ft m m
inese ueauurui mausoleums may,
therefore, be visited as freely as
desired, and in all kinds of weather.
They are sold just the same as real estate, perpetual
title being given without taxes or assessments. The
purchaser is given a key and permitted free access at
all times, and from the sale of each cornpartment a
certain amount is set aside to provide an annual in
come sufficient to maintain the building in first class
condition.
In these days when all progressive communities strive
to improve the character of their public and private
buildings, COMMUNITY MAUSOLEUMS are quite the
thing, and infinitely superior to the open cemetry with
its vast area, which eventually may have to give way
to the expansion of cities and the occupation of valu
able land. Those mausoleums which have already
been erected in the United States, totaling over 150,
have contributed materially to the architectural beauty
of the cities and towns where they have been erected,
and the advantages conferred by this improved sani
tary method of burial and the knowledge that they
provide absolute protection against intruders and
against climatic or atmospheric conditions. And,
withal, the COMMUNITY MAUSOLEUM is better
than the "Old Way" and less expensive, for the build.
ings are made to stand for ages and the ownership is
, rather than individually, which insures perpetual upkeep

vested in a community of interests.

The people of Salem, and vicinity, should avail themselves of this opportunity to show
their appreciation of such a BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT in their midst as well as arouse
their interest in the civic development of the Capital City of Oregon; by purchasing the re
maining compartments in MOUNT CREST ABBEY MAUSOLEUM without further delay, in
order that the entire structure will be the property of the people of this communiy when the
building is completed and dedictaed shortly after the first of the year.
