A.. V. Oliver JEFFERSON AVE. Phone 157! A g'ance at a list of the states 'hat in the decade from 1890 to 1000 added most numbers to their population in proportion to Iboir area suggests ' that the; motive, that induces men and women to change their location, i nd emigrate to other, localities is not the same as impelled pop ula'ion into the unsullied wild erness in times past. The old pioneers left their native states aud sought the wilderness be cause they believed neath the shadow of its forest or out upon its grassy prairies there were op portunities to acquire homes. This desire for homes does not aow appear to be the propulsion lorce war, sends men out in search of new locations, not that the home loving and home de siring instinct is less now than it was fifty J ears ago, but be cause the intelligent homeseeker sees uo greater opportunity to eccure henes, aided only by his personal exertion, in the west than in the older states. Be that as it may, the fact is -made plaiu, by the last census report, that quite a number of the older states within the ten years from 1890 to 1900 increased iu nopu lation in proportion t J their area greater than in the newer stales To demonstrate Ihe above, take the old state of Massachusetts with an area of 8,040 square miles of land surface in the ten years ending with 1900 it gained 560,399 in population, a gain of ovor 70 per square mile in the ten years. Compare the increase to Ore. gon'g population for the same time with Massachusetts. Ore gon has an are of Hud surface of 94,560 square miles and in the decade ending with 1900 its population increased 95,832 or hut a little more than oue per sou to the square milo whereas Massachusetts added 70 persons per square mile. Oregon had but about 3 persons to the square mile iu 1890 while Massachus etts had 278. Take the stateof Pennsylvan ia with a land surface of 44,98') squdi'e miles and we find in the decade ending with 1900 its population increased 1,014,002, being an addition to its popula tion of 23 persons per square mile. Let us compare Pennsyl vania with our neighbor on the north, Wuthington, with a laud surface of 66,880 square tnile6. which in the decade ending with 1900, increased in popula tion lbU.ol, not quite zi per square mile. During Ihe same ten years Connectuut increased its popu lation 162,162, a little over 33 per square mile, making its den sity of population 187.5 per square mile. I'll o additions mentioned to the population of Oregon brought it up to 4.4 per square mile and that to Waslr. iuglon gave it iu 1900 a popula tion of 7.7 per square mile. ) Comparisons of the increase of population of old aud thickly j settled slates cifuld be continued j with nimilur results suggesting very plainly that the impulse; that uiaki's people emigrate now) What is the reason that sign board can be found in comity directing people to Graudi? There is a law in stale making it a part of road supervisor s duty to erect and maintain sign boards at all cross roads. It is evident that some one is neglectful of their duty. " .
