Salem's greatest need just now is not for people, nor
for products.

tural products of high quality, which may be grown
cnuapiy.
The need therefore is not for men, but manufactures,
markets and methods.
The demand is not so much for more products of the
.farm as for those better grown or prepared for the con
sumer, and therefore commanding a higher price.
The improvement of quality, utilization of by-products
and the elimination of waste are pertinent problems con
fronting the community.
Canning and preserving factories are needed to con
sume a vast portion of the fruits and vegetables so easily

to have such excelled quality. There is plenty of canned
and preserved fruit, of a kind, on the market, and at
starvation prices. But of what quality? The demand is

most of that obtainable. Only the best will command j
paying prices.
The question of growing flax cheaply has been settled
in the affirmative. The problem remaining is of convert
ing it into the many manufactures of linen, the adapta-j
tion of approved methods to local conditions in order to
convert the cheap raw product into the high priced
finished goods, without having first to transport it long1
distances at considerable expense. ' I
The failure of the potato crop to find a profitable!
market is frequently the source of great waste. It might J
be overcome by the establishment of a factory for con-!
verting the potato into starch. While starch .is a cheap j
product, it is not perishable like potatoes, and can be held
or shipped long distances to find better markets. j
Larger and more varied manufacturing enterprises
are much needed; and on the ranch there is need for more!
diversified farming. With these there is a demand for anj
markets for the farm products and manufactures.
These things will not only provide for disposal of the
products of the city and valley, but give employment of
many more laborers.
It is to the solution of some of these problems that the
new commercial organization will devote a part of its
energies, and the success to be reached will depend upon
the character and amount of backing given the project
by the citizens of Salem.

GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Dun's Weekly Commercial Review has the following
to say of general business conditions: ' j
The developments of the week afford new proof of the
essential stability and power of the financial and business i
.structure. While there is uncertainty as to the final out-
come, there is faith in the ability of" the nation to adapt1
itself, with financial readiness, to every contingency that
may arise. Outside of the stock, cotton and other equally
sensitive markets, the effort of the new war develop-1
ments has not materially changed the generally favorable
aspect of the trade situation. With scarcely an excep-'
tion, statistical comparisons, by which business activity1
is measured, reflect progressive improvement, and that
the steady gain in bank clearings is not wholly due to the
expansion in speculative operations, is indicated bv the:
continued increases at many of the leading centers out-!
Bide of New York. Railroad earnings make a better

produce marked prosperity in many lines, taking 'the
place of the reduced domestic consumption. There is
continued activity in the cotton goods trade in spite of the
irregularity caused by fluctuations in the raw material

market far below the high point of the season, but whent

I he Oregon City Enterprise takes this view of the
commercial club movement now on foot in this city:
"Eugene and Salem are in the midst of an active Com
mercial Club campaign. The Capital City club has a
membership of a thousand for its aim while the other city
secured 171 new members in one day. Both of these
valley cities have had commercial organizations for a
number of vears and in tbp n.ist muX rmnA u u
accomplished but with a strengthening in membership
and a consolidation of all interests, still greater good can
be accomplished in the future. The 'new clubs will
systematically work on every line of civic, improvement
