most expensive acording to tne Febru

IMer Prices Today In

New York, March 7, The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
The equinanimity with which stocks
have withstood adverse news in tho last
few days perhaps was as potent in pro
ducing higher prices today as were the
favorable overnight s developments.
Demands for stockg developed large
proportions in the early trading, sales
in the first hour exceeding dd,uuu
shares. This rapid pace did not last,
activity Subsiding as prices reacted
around noon. Net gains ot- Worn one
to three points were quickly recorded,
American International was a featuro
of the last hour's trading, the stock
solline above 65 for a four point gain
Marine Preferred rose three points and
practically all of the best prices were
made late in the session. Stocks dis
played progressive strength and at no
time underwent more than momentary
reaction. There wan considerable irre
gularity at the closo but the undertone
was tina.

BOOH Di HEAL ESTATE
GOIKGN IN SALEM
Many Empty Buildings Are
Being Remodeled And Oc
cupied Lately.
There is a quiet boom going on in
real estate in Salem and vicinity and
although the average man on the street
and other .folks are little aware of the
fact, nevertheless it is true. It wa3 not
so long ago that half a dozen or more
business houses were vacant on North
Commercial street. Now every one of
mem are rented and business is going
on as usual.
On South Commercial street the same
is true. AH houses are occupied. The
Tamer three story block, diagonally
opposite the Marion hotel was recent
ly purchased by D. Samuels who is
materially improving the building and
putting on a rear addition, lie is also
having the front of tho 'Building ce
mented to give it the appearance of a
stone- block.
The Kyan building is also undergoing
several improvements as it was recent
ly taken over Iby the company that
had a $15,000 mortgage on the property
The improvement on these two largo
buildings materially improve the bus
iness section of South Commercial.
Reports Active Business
The Portland (Railway Light and
Power Co. reports a -most active 'busi
ness in the way of installing electric
meters. Many houses that have not been
rented for the past two years have
been remodeled and the tenants, aro
having installed electric service. And
in niauy homes that are already wired,
but with no service, the electric com
pany reports that there is a call for
electric service and the installing o
meters.
Tho real estate men are really up
against it a8 they are having calls ev
ery day for houses to rent and there
are none to 'be had. There is a house
famine in Salem and thore's a reason,
the "real estate men say.
Big Crops Help
This reason is the fact that the big
crops of the past two years and the
eoneral prosperous conditions in Sa
lem and vicinity are bringing ibaek to
tho city many who were attracted to
the high wages in the Bhip yards. With
the uncertainty of life in -a ship yard
but the certainty' that this section of
the state, especially Burrounding Sa
lem, is in for a period of prosperity,
people are returning.
Another evidence of prosperity is the
fact that the people living in tho vi
cinity of Liberty are circulating a pe
tition and already, have enough sig
natures to justify the extending of
electric lines to that town. It will cost
about $2000 for equipment and wires,
but the people around Liberty rajnt
electric service and according to re
ports this (morning, they are in a fair
way to raise the amount necessary to
soon 'begin the work of extending wires
sore to oe molly-coddles and I am sure
other mothers do not."
Bouts will bo handled by a commis
sion of three appointed by the govern
or. Clubs must be licensed. No ex
hibition shall be longer narr twenty
rounds of three minutes duration each.
N0 pei son under 18 years of age will
be aliowed to participate In any con

If you are on a salary how do you

You may reply that you will Increase
your earning power as you grow older
or as you become more efficient. Let
this fact be granted. Let It be con

There were a lot of taxpayers last
summer who looked askance at the pro
posed mechanical department of the
high school. It looked like the maxi
mum of investment with a minimum of
concrete results. Some classed it among
me --jrms' oi moaern education.
A recent visit to the noisy little shop
in .the "backyard" demonstrated to
the reporter that there was nothing
more concrete about the Salem high
sdhool than this same collection of
machines and tools, and nothing more
dynamic and efficient than the man in
charge. There are something like thir
ty students making up the "trade"
classes and the manual training class
esas many as can be taken care of
with the equipment on hand. Probably
if the shop capacity was doubled it
would still be crowded with boys eag
er to get a line on something that is
going to count in an industrial career.
Conduct Experiments
Thleso boys are not merely going
through motions) they are not experi
menting with metals and machinery;
they are turning out the same sort of
work gaining the same accuracy de
veloping even greater effieioncy than
they would if put into the ordinary
machine shop or factory, for In those
places they would simply be tied down
to ono machine or one group of equip
ment. In the high school shop- they
make the acquaintance of the finest
tools, including miorometersj and arc
put through stuuts of a wide range.
They are required to takle tho rough
castings of machine parts, face them
up, drill them, dress them up on mod
ern latlhe8 to thousandths of an inch,
so that they can go from this shop to
the assembling room of soMie factory.
Thle work is actually commercial, and
ig 'bringing into the school fund about
$125 a month. This will probably be
largely increased in the future as they
find a wider market for the output.
Prof. Bergman at Head
Prof. K. IE. Borgman,' .who is in
charge of the department, is an enthus
Past in ihig line, and is injecting enthus
iasm into tho classes judging from the
interest displayed by the boys. In ad
dition to tho regular classes, sevieral
nights out of tho week are dovoted to
tho night school, which has a class of
about ten young men fitting themselv
es for. various lines of work. Later on
the equipment will be increased by in
stalling one of tlie finest milling ma
chines, and a tempering and ousting
furnace.. From simple easting work
tho shop will go on to automobile parts
requiring a higher degree of skill and
accuracy. It is eaBy to predict that
tho .future will , find Bergman's
"joint" as popular with high school
students as a soda fountain in August.
