W. 'JTI.FEn, jL'ity Jocordcr, DEFAMINa THE Dps Moines Capital is ono of those eastern papers 'thai never let tin opportunity slip to slant the fair fame and good name of Oregon. Kvery possible and im possible item derogatory to the state is printed so as to convoy the impression to the minds of its readers that of all undesirable places to reside in. Oregon is the limit both in climate, opportunity and people. All this because of the fact that the 1910 federal cen sus showed that Iowa was losing population, because of tho drift of her eitixens from her cyclone swept, sun blistered and snow engulfed plains to the more equitable clime of the Pacific northwest, especially to Oregon, the land of great promise, an organixed effort is being made to stem the immigration tide and misrepresentation and abuse are printed by the column. Tho Capital of February 2 contains two characteristic attacks upon Oregon, one to the governor of Iowa from the Central Labor Council of Portland, which hopes to profit by shortage iu labor which will increase wages, and therefore would shut out immigration and check develop ment. The labor organization knocks Oregon in the fol lowing woeful strain: ''Oregon, comprising a territory of u'0.000 square mjles with a population of about 700,000 people, is in the main a great wilderness of forests and mountains. The foiests arc largely held for speculation by the railroad interests and other great corporations. To clear an aero of this forest land, after it has been logged off, costs from $50 to 100 per acre. Hence thoru is little chance for paying farms on such lands, except for men with considerable capital. "Open country, suitable for farming, has long ago been taken up and prices for such farm land are very high. "Railroad transportation throughout the state is very poor. me orenaru lanits are neui tor almost lanuious prices, in the hope that easterners can be fooled to buy them The same trick that was played twenty years ago iu southern California, when orange orchards sold for $1000 an acre. "The bottom of these wild-cat schemes dropped out in California and the Coxev armv followed. 'Hie bottom of Oregon's wild-cat schemes is now dropping eut: hence idleness, destitution and a general reign of crime commit ted by misled and desperate men." , This probably comes from the same professional bunch of paid labor leaders who asserted that working men were starving on account of lack of work, and yet when real work was offered these same workingmen, they refused to accept. There is less idleness, want and misery in Oregon than in any eastern state, despite the fact that a never ending stream of shiftless humanity is dumped into the country every year, mostly hoboes escaping Iowa climate. This class of labor Won't work and don't want to. But the Capital cannot be blamed for printing the above wail. On another page occurs, however, one of its manufactured bits of animosity a letter purported to be written from Portland by one T. B. Dowdon. Tt is ex tremely doubtful if the writer ever visited Portland. It was probably written in the Capital office, by one of its own bright young men. It is headed, "You Need AVeb Feet in Pacific Coast Countrv. Bains Constantly Jit Portland." But the rank old chestnuts the writer springs! He says: "I have heard it said that the second generation of native sons become partly web-footed, and that the third generation become confirmed palmipeds." And then the ancient josh about the catfish being used to clean the sewer and other smart-alec witticisms forgotten for almost two generations. Beal esttite, he concludes, is the chief topic of conversation. There is no need to refute such misrepresentations, fjovcrnment figures tell the story. The average annual rainfall for Dps Moines is 32.4 indies, for Portland 45.1, for Medford 27. The .'January metin temperature for 'Dos Moines is 20, for Portland 139, for Medford 42. No Iowan who has ever lived in Oregon will live in Iowa again if he can help it not if he has the normal bump of appreciation of the good things of life. Life's too short to live in Towa. x trm i ii - i COLO FEEI STRIKE BY LOXUOX, Feb. 7.
