In the past few weeks the City of Salem and vicinity has engaged in raising a $20,000 purse for the Greater Salem Commercial club stakes at the state fair races.
A committee has been at work raising $3,000 to clear the Salem Y. M. C. A. of debt. About $1,000 will have to be raised to put the water power into the flax fibre industry.
A fund of $35,000 is being raised to clear the Methodist university of debt. About $8,000 was subscribed to put the Silverton motor line on its feet but that has been dropped. $20,000 was wanted.
It would almost appear that there are as many funds under way as the community can handle. There are several church enterprises under way, an Evangelical church at Rickey and $1,000 improvement on Leslie church.
