R. MOORE . . CHAS. L. SPRINGER, . . . Editor Business Mgr. THE FAILURE OF WEALTH Leopold has gone to a dishon ored grave. Even his relatives o not mourn him and the world Will but heap anathemas on his memory.. He , is regarded by most as a murderer of all mur derers, a' fiend J incarnate, the greatest barbarian of the age. And he gained this . reputation how and when? In the chase for gold, the greater portion of .which he could not use in life; gold he could not take with him in death! Leopold died one of the wealth iest men in the world and hough a murderer a biij cd tnes wvex- ue was aDie u rrcr se with money all that an .mens able to purchase whn money. But in the end it would purchase neither life nor character. How insignificant then, after all, is money.. If the honest man, the upright man, the man with high ideals and good impulse can not buy more with his wealth than ISBHHSESSKESR! g'.W..i.!JUl!JLLilWIIU The Not after the greatest. This a splendid example of the J. M. Nolan policy of haying ,the right thing at the right time and at the lowest pos sible prices. . ' With a can the murderer, why do men make a god of money.-of wealth, of power? ' The man who has a home, a fair chance of not being in actual want, is honest, possesses a few friends, and has no great desire for wealth is the richest man on earth. He will take to his grave more that is worth while and he will leave more pleasant memor ies behind him than will nine of ten men who count their riches in thousands of dollars. No man in fair health who is at the same time . honest and honorable has reason to be envious of any rich man. The probability is that he already possesses what the wealthy man would give all his wealth to obtain peace of mind and contentment or, per chance, a .stomach that will not turn wrong side out at the sight of water or taste of palatable food. Wealth as a cure-all is ever 1 a failure. And except l where the head and conscience is right it is ever a colossal failure. It has been iff Leopold's case. GIVE US CORVALLIS An Indiana paper at hand tells of a change of weather from 60 above, to 2 degrees below' zero, the change taking place in two days.

Where People Come From (Continued! from page one ) .Corvallis by advertising itself extensively in . the east could have landed these people first, and Wav i the demand is service. land a great many more that go elsewhere. - ' It will be noticed that we also get people dissatisfied with Washington. The . tremendous advertising campaign carried on by the state in recent years has practically doubled the popula tion of that state, but not all have been satisfied, and ! some have come to Oregon. By ad vertising, Corvallis might have landed them in the first place, and many pthers as well. -The figures show that Oregon gets an extremely insignificant number from states east of the Mississippi; Illinois sends ; one. Wisconsin one, and New Jersey two. The people who come to Oregon come from the middle western states. The immigra tion from east of the Mississippi never comes direct to the coast the distance seems too great. It stops in Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, Missouri, and low and after a seige of a few years with the winds, terrible cyclones, hail storms, blizzards, floods, ex treme cold weather, sudden' and tremendous drops in temperature, drouths, and the really outrage. ous sort of conditions Ihere, they come to the coast in search of opportunity in a milder climate, The particular state that ' has done its greatest advertising in the middle west has received the influx in recent years. California had her share, then came Wash ington, now it is Oregon's turn and Oregon will get the same ire mendous immigration the other states received if Oregon wil advertise heavily enough in the right section. The- figures above show that; in the mean time, it will be worth . while for Coryallis to advertise throughout Oregon. - n .
