PACIE TTTRTCTC PREDICTS GREAT wm Professor Bases His Figures On His toryBelieves State Will Double In Population Duriny Next Ten Years. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu gene, Jan. 30. "Guided In my judg ment by n mass of historical refer ences which I hnve gathered, my be lief Is that Oregon will double its llflllltlllt Intl lvIHlltt Mwi lifivt 1..rn1.i " ti,iu ctn(.,.t ,.. i i... npii i loreman at the Mears oc .Instill R,.,nfnr thn n l,afrln I '" " - -"- -r " I who lias recently returned from tbo annual meeting of tbo American llis- torlcal association, held in Indianap olis. Dr. Schnfer, who Is the head of the history department at the Uni versity of Oregon, Is the author of "History of the Pacific Northwest," and has contributed many original papers to the lending 'historical pub lications, the latest of which, "The Uritish Attitude Toward tho Oregon Question, 1S15-1S JO," appeared In the current issue of tho American Historical Iteview. "Oregon is now standing at the margin of a new era in population development," cont inner Professor Schafor. "This is the one definite impression that was left upon mind as a result of my recent . - through the states of North Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and Kansas. In addition I discussed the population problem with authorities from Illi nois, Minnesota and Iowa. "The whole region of tho upper Mississippi valley, commonly known as the middle west, Is facing at this time a peculiar problem In the com parative arrest of Its growth In popu lation. These states aro practically at a standstill In the matter of popu lation increase. "Tho significance of this condition is simply that these states have pass ed their pioneer stage, which has been marked off by tho exhaustion of their supply of cheap land. The land will no longer respond to tho or dinary methods of agriculture. "In almost every case It can be shown from tho census returns that theso states have had at least one decade, after their population had attained very respectable propor tions, in which that population went up so rapidly as to doublu In a sin gle ton-year period. "Wo find that Ohio more than doubled her population botween 1S1! and 1S20, and nearly doubled it again between 1S20 nnd 1SP.0; that Indiana more than doubled in the '..0s and fully doubled once moro In tho '10s; that Illinois nearly doubled In the MOs; that Iowa more than trebled I in tbo T0s. and moro than doubled again in tho '00s; that Wilconsin, Mlnnesota and Kansas all had their decades of especially rapid growth. I "Now during tho entire period the increase has been so lorgo that those societies linvo regarded themselves, ns rapidly growing societies. Tiuu i why they fuel so keenly tho revela tion of tho recent foderal census, which suggests that tho groat prob lem in tho future will bo to find ways of onco moro Itroduclng a gain in population. "To carry out tho comparison, the state of Oregon has now reached the point where, as suggested by tho his tory of other western states, It can hopo to grow most rapidly. Indeed, If history Is any guide in theso matters, wo aro fully warranted In oxpeeting that tho decade 1910-1920 will be Oregon's time for developing its pop ulation and going over into the soven figuro column. "If wo aro to assume that this ex pectation is reasonable, the luferoncoj Is that it wllyl Do wise tor me in-mm-of this state to plan for this new time. All of our operations, all of our Institutions, all of our business enterprises, must be planned with ref erence to tho fact that wo shall be operating for at least a generation on a rapidly rising tide of popula tion. For some years we can count upon It being so rnpld as to put us near tho 1.5on,u0o mark by 1920. i ALL RAIL ROUTE TO PANAMA SOON READY W.UINGTON. D. C. Jan. .'!'.
