Oregon Leads The number of entries, filings and selections in the 26 - U S Land Officei in fire states w.st of tbe Rocky mountains ag gregated for the nine months , euding with, March 1W)5 22,334 . viz. . Mantana 4833 Washington 4,659, Idaho 8,666, Wyoming 3,204, Oregon 6,167. ' These figures put Oregon ahead of any of its neighboring states named. ,' . The five land offices in Ore goo, for tbe nine months end ing with March 1905 recorded gentries filings and selections an follows Burn"49,"La Grande 1435, Lakeview 768, Oregon City 681, Roseburg 1041, Tbe Dalits 2,193. The Dalles did a little more than one-third of tbe land office business ,done in Oregon for the nine months a act that shows that people ' seek lsnd where there ia a pros'peot of jn creasnd faoilities for utilizing it The' prospect of the , construc tion of the Canal at Celilo at a 'i near future, and several irrigat ing enterprises in that land district msy be given as tbe cause for a greater desire for land in th it district than others in the state. Tbere enterprises in that land district have proved a catching 1 advertisement for that region from which other districts would be wise in tak ing a hint. The most effictive ,,'way to advertise a reagion is 1 to increase the , opportunity for men to make a living therein. Tourists , make temporary visits to counties to view their scenio grauderue, and for a abort time enjoy their genial clime", hut homeaeekers hunt out lo calities where the opportunities' for. establishing homos and maintaining them in coraforf, with civilized surrounding are greater than in their native heaths. This is illustrated by the figures from tbe land office in the regions on the Columbia and Snake rivers both of which will be opened to navigation for long distances by the con struction of the canal at Cehio, now being prosecuted by the United States. The laud office at the Dal'es on the Columbia a few mVes I t low Celilo did mere thuu oue-tbird oi tbe en tire laud office business in Ore ' gon for tbe nine months ending with March li05. The six U S land offices in the State of Washington for tht nine mouths refered to did e business of 4659 entries and filiDgs; tbe three offices in thf . Columbia river basin, tbe regioi that ill be benefited by Celih canal, Walls Walla, Watervilh and Spokane made 3,534 entries and filings " or more than one ' third of the land office businest done in tbe state. The deduction from tbe abovt statements, ia that if our peopl. wish tc draw hometecken here and. keep them the way i to do something, as build inp good roads, schools and f'actou Entarad at U Uraoda, Oregon, Mail Matter. . They are about to haog a lawyer in New. York. Who will afterthis deny that the- world is growing belter? Cleanliness like charity be gins at home. Keep yourjown premises neat and your neigh bor will profit by your example. Don't be 'alarmed. The raiC road has been 1 nilding down Snake River from Huntington for the past dozen or more years the same time they have been spending millions on the main line between Huntington and Umatilla. t SWITCHES HADE OF ) combings r : iwltehca mat pnmpadovm, hair 9 4ie and too lea.
