-o', Now that the census bureau population estimates for
1028 are out, we may expect state and civic booster's to be-
gin calling attention to them. Florida is already pointing
'out that half a million more people live there now than in
' 1020; states like Michigan, which gained 900,000, and Cali-
foraia. which (rained a full

fied slloiice. No estimate was made for Nevada; that state
if showed a decline in population between 1910 and 1920, and
;;the census bureau tentatively gives it its 1920 figure 77,
' 467. So Nevada probably won't say much about the bureau's
figures. Yet, to our mind, thefee figures give the state an
excellent talking point. Consider rthe situation for a mo--'.
raent. Our national population has gone up 10,000,000 sines
:,1920. .In this century we have seen the "open spaces" con
v racting steadily, year by yeah ' Texas, once a synonym for
a vast, thinly-populated area, now has Upwards of 5,000,000
-inhabitants. The rolling hills of Oklahoma ar.s filling up.
' ,in the mid-western industrial areas cities like Detroit,. To
.: ledo, Indianapolis and Buffalo are Constantly extending their
borders. Millions of men and women do ri6t khow -What It
is to see ah unfenced field. But amid all this growth and
'; expansion, Nevada rerrfains the Nevada of the past cen-
; tury. Its 110,000 square miles Of territory support fewer
.people than live in a city like Cantom 0. ; It is larger than
all the New" England states put together with a population
less than one-sixth Of Rhode Island's' alone. It is, we might
say, art oasis of emptiness in a land of crowdsi The time is
, not far distant wheii the average American will come to ap
.predate openness of this kind at its true worth. When that
day comes Nevada Will be host every Bummer to hordes of
.automobile tourists. This Will be good for NeVdda, and i;
' .will also be good for. the
Heaven, is still one of those

.newly-made; its rolling sage brush plains are framed by
backgrounds of distant, hafce-wreathed mountains'. The md
'torist has nothing to do all day 16ng but Soak himself in free
. 'dorm and beauty. So, we repeat, Nevada's boosters ought to
begin quoting the census figures, A decline, in population
'.would be a fatal blow to the pride of some states, but not to
;Netada.'. A good part of that state's magnificence is the
: sparseness of its population,
.: . Approval by the houBe roads committee of the Dowell
bill ' to authorize appropriations totaling $165,000,000 to
continue the present program of federal aid to states in
highway construction arouses our hopes. It may mean that
Congressman Hawley will be able to secure that condition
ally promised $300,000 needed for the North Umpqua road
' fl?6m Roseburg to Diamond lake, As chairman of the house
Ways and means committee, through whose hands all appro
priation bills must pass, Mr, Hawley is in a, stronger position
than ever to do something for his expectant constituency.
In view of the money to be made ovaitable by the McDowell
bill, we shall await with confidence a favorable outcome of
Mr. Hnwley'a efforts to secure deserving aid for the Dia
mond lake route,
Cotint that week as a blank which does not record ox-
pert advice on opportunities in Douglas county. Since tho
: -beginning of the year visiting specialists have told us about
our "wonderful opportunities" And "unexcelled advantages"
i hyith regard to sheep, wool, poultry, cattle, landscape) garden-'
ing, berries, orchard fruits, manufacturing industries, tour
i ist attractions, garden truck and oilier items not now iu our
I memory. The latest on the list is corn, a specialist pointing
'. out how well the county is adapted to increased acreages of
; it, and how nicely it would serve ns a poultry ond hog fat-
tone!1. If the county could capitalize on about one per cent
of nil this export information it would soon take on the np-
poarance of a colony of millionaire land and manufacturing
t barons.
; 'T, Fortunately no "Itoosegbw" incarceration awaits those
'. ox -service men who fail to respond to the call for duty at
! the airport next Sunday. The fishing season on tho upper
(North Umpqua river opens the same day, and wo four the
veterans who are votaries of the sport with rod and line will
be conspicuously absent from the volunteer pick-and-shovol
brigade. There is nothing, however, to prevent the absen
tees from hiring substitutes to do their share of the mnntml
labor. This is intended solely for information, but we haw
lio objection to its acceptance as advice.
' ,,, ' o i .,
' Tho Jenkins bill, providing for the admission of rela
tives of Immigrants to tho United States, outside the quota
provisions, has been favorably reported in the House of l.e
. prcsenlntives, and may. become h law shortly. Let's hope
It will. Not more than 4,000 people will enter the country
under this law hardly enough to amount to any relaxation
in our exclusion policy; and many hardships and hoartaches
will bo prevented. The bill deserves support. '

CHILD HEALTH DAY
WILL BE OBSERVED
THRUOUT COUNTY
In 1624 the American Child
Health Association, a national
child welfare association, set May
Day aside as tho National Child
Health Dny. It has caught the
Imagination of the nation and has
become fnnllllar to eVefybne who
has the interest of children at
heart. The slogan, "Bettor Child
ren for Our Nation: a Hotter Na
tion for Our Children" . has been
adopted.
May Day Fetes have now be
come Health Fetes throughout the
country. Thero Is no motive power
like linppincns and more happiness
Is needed in health education,
through play, sport and adventure;
through an environment that en
rlchPB with music, beauty, color,
heroism, the lovo of nature, Ood
nnd mankind. For that reason the
Nlitlonal Health Day has becomo a
celebrntlon as intensely beautiful
