A member of a national medical asso
ciation tells the following story at the
eicpeuso of a physician:
"Arc- yon sure," an anxious patient
once askod "are you sure that I shall
recover! I have heard that doctors nave
Bometiinos given wrong diagnoses and
treated ft nntient for pneumonia who
afterward died of typhoid fover."
"You have been woefully misinform
ed," replied the physician Indignantly.'

bearing me I won't have to lend that
luwuiuower seven times before I get to
use it again myself.", Boston Trans
THE Portland Journal refers to the demand for fruit
lands in this vicinity as "the Salem boom."
. ' The phrase is unfortunate, for Salem is not-booming,
nor, with her calm indifference to fate and complacent
self-sufficiency, is she likely to boom. Temper-mentally
she is "agin" it. - Nature can spill her bounties about her
and the state shower its tax roll over her, but Salem can
not help it and is an unwilling Barkis to opportunity's
proposals.
How can Salem boom, When her citizens refuse to
supply h.ousing accommodations for new residents? How
can a community gam rapidly m population, when there
are no quarters.for homeseekers? . ... . j
Boom has several meanings. ' The Journal used the
word in the sense of rapid growth based upon the tardy
realization of the merits of natural resources; But boom
also means "to drum, sound as an empty barrel," and "to
cry with a hollow note." It is the latter kind of a boom,
the hollow note ol artiiicial inflation caused by clever ex
ploitation and over capitalization, which sooner or later
is followed by the slump of collapse that Salem should and
must avoid.
The actual value of farm land is based upon the pro
fit it can "be made to yield under average conditions. The
speculative value is that based upon artificial or unusual
conditions. . If hop land was selling on the basis of the
present market, with hops at 70 cents a pound, we would
have a parallel to the inflated vajues at which fruit lands
sold in the orchard belts of the northwest in the apple
boom of a decade ago. High prices for land must be dis
couraged if we seek the permanent prosperity of the set
tler and resultantly, of the city.
Vegetable, fruit and berry lands in the Willamette
Valley are in great demand because Salem industries now
furnish a competitive market for the producer. The grow
er can contract his yield in advance to be utilized in any
one of half a dozen great industrial plants, thus stabilizing
the market. He does not have to ship long distances to
uncertain markets and become the victim of railroad de
lay, speculative sharks, and commission vultures. Thus
Salem offers more inducements to the producer than any
section of the northwest, and the intensive development
and payrolls assured, will force an unwilling growth upon
Salem. , (i j , ; " f
Salem can, however, materially speed-up this legitim
ate growth by providing needed housing facilities," and
stabilize it by discouraging land inflation and speculation. I
The developer and worker is needed, not the speculator
and get-rich-quick boomer. As a burned child dreads the
fire, so does anyone who has been through a boom based
upon the inflation of land values, dread its repetition. We
cannot afford to handicap the producer by over-capital-
lzation of the land he is dependent upon. , -
The Journal's article follows: . ,
"Near Hulem a man bought, four months ago a !i3-acre farm, on which is
a 5-aero prune orchard in full bcniintf. He paid $180 un acre for the property.
"After nulling J00 worth of prunes, ho' disposed of the farm the other
day. The salo price was .KM) an acre. His gross profit ou the property in
four mouths is 124,900, ' - ,
"A farm of about JllO acres several miles southeast of Salem changed hands
the other day for 00,000. It was bought-by; n man residing in the commun
ity, ft comprised 75 acres of prunes, 2fi acres of cherries and 00 acres of tim
bered land. The prune orchard and the higher price of prunes had a great
deal to do with both sales.
