TWELVE Year's Building in Salem Cost Quarter of Million Despite the fact that the year has been a pretty hard one in some re spects, Salem has added a quarter of a million dollars worth of buildings to its list. Of these the three story brick apartment house at 685 Court eas ily leads. It is a beautiful building and ia splendidly planned with heat, light and all modern conveniences. It was built by Geo. P. Rodgers and Charles H. McNary at a cost of $40,000, and is substantial evidence of their faith in Salem's future. Liberty street also has gained two fine buildings, that of the Eoth Com pany a two story brick on the east side of Liberty between State and Court, the lower floor of which is occupied by the Both Company with its big gro cery Btock and the upper floor has been leased and beautifully furnished by the Y. W. C. A. Its cost was $18,000. The other is in course of erection by the Win. McGilehrists, Sr. and Jr. It is located at the comer of State and Liberty, and all its space it is un derstood has already been engaged. This it ia estimated will cost $20,000. Still another important building erected during the year is the packing house put up by W. F. Drager at 730 Trade , at a cost $15,000. A -two story brick on North Commercial, was built by Mrs. A, A. Mickel at a cost of $7,000. The Gorman Evangelical church on North Liberty cost $5,000 The boiler house for the Capital National bank cost $7,000. The bnlance of the quarter of a million spent in bnilding during the year was mostly for residences, there being many fine little homes in the list. Taken all in all the year was rather a surprise, as the peculiar condi tions, such as partial failure of the prone crop and lack of movement of bops, the two being Salem's mainstay were far from favorable for build ing, There will from all indications be a much larger Btory to tell Capital Journal readers about the building record in its New Years paper of 1917.

Btajvton, Watch night in Billvillc very biggest crowd That ever helped the heathen or praised the Lord aloud! They come from all the neighborhood, a new life to begin, To watch the old yeor goia' out, the new year comia in. The preacher, he gave out the hymn "Salvation full an' free." 'Twuz follered by "Amozin' grace that, saved a wretch like me." An' "Greenland's Icy Mountains" went rollin' up on high Till it almost shook the windows in the cverlastin' sky. An' then we had a word o' prayer; the preacher stated plain The object of the meetin ', whar we nev er met in vain: Then read a Bible lesson, which give our souls relief, Then throwed the meetin' open for ex periences brief. An' then said Brother Johnson, 'way down by the door He'd served the Lord for 80 years an' wanted 80 morel An' Brother Williams cried "Amen!" un' so the word went round Till we thought the sleepiest angel up in heaven licard the sound. An' (hen we heard more singin', an' how the tune did rise "When I can read my title clear to munsions in tuc skicsl " An' Brother Scott, he said this word: "My real estate ain't here; But, thank the Lord, In heaven I can rend my title clear! An' the sisters, they stood up an' spoke, an' tears wuz fallin' fust, Fer their gray hairs seemed to tell us they wuz nearin' home at last. An' each one told of grace an' love that lightened up the soul While crussin' o'er the river "where the surges cease to roll." We most forgot the old year, we most forgot the new, In tellin' of the wonders that the lov- in' Lord could do, An' talk about your shoutin' I tell you, it wuz prime, Fer we had, to speak it pluiuly, jest a halleluiah time! I tell you, 'twas a meetin', an' I'd have you folks to know Tho Lord wuz with them people as the old year turned to go, Au' the new year found 'em happy as the church bell tolled on high, An' that watch night down in Billville took its place up in the sky. 000 00 650 431 N.

Salem, Post Office Shows Gains; Total Receipts $79,1 68.82 (By August Huckstcin, postmaster of Salem.) The past calendar year was a very progressive one for tho Salem post of fice. Notwithstanding it was an off year, there having been no county or state elections held, which is always an important factor in the receipts of the postofticc, the total receipts for the year wore $79,108.82. At the present time there are employ ed in the Salem postoffice 14 clerks, 13 city carriers and nino rural carriers, besides three caretakers and watchmen. A full route for a carrier is 24 miles, yet our carrier routes average 25 miles each, making a total of 225 miles cov ered daily. Yet this office is impor tuned quite frequently by patrons who arc desirous of having the routes ex tended into their localities, a request that would be gludly complied with if tho postoffice department at Washing ton would grant our request for ad ditional help. The department ut Washington itself is limited to the am ount appropriated by congas for the service. The public at large could be of ma terial aid and assistance to the postal service if they would heed these STATE AIDED CHARITABLE ' INSTITUTIONS Besides the state institutions men tioned the following charitable insti tutions receive state aid: Tho Louise Home, at Elwood Station seven miles east of Portland.

The clerk who divides the mail for tho car riers is only human and cannot remem ber all addresses. When the street and number arc not given, tho letter is first thrown among tho "nixies", to bo looked up later by a clerk who attends to mail incompletely addressed. This of course causes a delay in tho de livery of the mail. Second: Always have your return ad dress on your envelope. This insures its return in case it cannot be deliver ed. All letters advertised each week have no return address on the envelope jnnd a majority of them find their way j to the dead letter office Naturally, the writer is at a loss to know why the let ter has nut been delivered, or does not receive an answer, A return address on the envelope, as well us street and num ber address would help wonderfully in tho prompt distribution of mail and the return to the writer of uncalled for let ters. Third: Be sure that your letters are properly stumped before placing them in the mail box or postoffice. and Ellsworth streets, Portland, St. Mary's Home for Boys, Beaver ton.
