It is right to legitimately enrich our cclves if by so doln? we can aid in mak ing our neighbors rich. Wealth proporly used Is a blessing not only to the possessor, but to the world about ue. It broaiens our tphero of usefulness, builds schools and colleges, (miokens communication and travel and spreads knonledgo. It lifts us to a higher plane of civilization and contrib utes to our happiness. The Kant is becoming densely peopled and holds wealth which is hampered in growth, for want of room to grow. , Oregon has room for millions of raon and mosey. Many of theso millions of men with money are icnorant of the ad vantages aud opportunities, whlch-.thle old,, y,et new State offers to industry and capital. Their presence and money would de velops our latent wealth, and enrich them and ue. Is it uot then a duty to ourselves, and would It not bo a benefit to them to let them know the advantages ,that aro here offered? The growth of a city or section In creases valuo and enlarges opportunities In all lines of business, at a rate cotn- rponsnrate with tho volume of growth. The, cfosbling of the population of a town, tfnlly quadruples the value c4-rcal estate outside the buulnees centre, It more than doubles tho volume of busi ness, Khali we allow our fitter Cnnni Stales, California on the south and Washington on the north, with resonrcer no greater, contlnne to out-Btrlp ua In the race7 Or ahall wo give them a rco so close to us as a regular echedulo from that point, do ing away with the neceslty of trans porting freight and passengers owrhind to reach tho head ol navigation.
