UNION COUNTY
AIU1 IT . .
in ivi'u union county nau a
land r.trfaoe of 3,146 square
miles and a population of 16070
being five and one-tenth person
per square mile. When Union
county becomes as thickly set
tled as Union county Ohio it
will have 168,692 people, or ten
times as many as now. This
shows that there is plenty of
room in this county for a great
many more people thau are
now in it.
Those of us who are here, and
are familiar with the resources
ot the county feel confideut that
new coiners, with ordinary vim
will do well and better their
condition by coming here. But
the how to make people far
away iu the older states see con
ditions here, as we do i not so
easy a matter as some suppose.
One difficulty is to get in
touch with the people in the
older states so that they will be
anxious to learn something
about our country. To accom
plish thin in some degree the
state of Oregon appropriated a
half million of dollars to the
Lewis aud Clark Fair, and in
addition to this the several
counties in Oregon have made
liberal appropriations . So far
as gatheriug people from East
of the Rocky h to come' to Oregon
and look at the things on exhi
bition there from the whole
world, including Oregon, the
fair is a pronounced success
But after an Ohioau, Yankee,
or Southerner has been shot
through the state iu cars, as'eep
in births half the time, and
with only occasional peeps
through oaf windows at the
country -through which they
were being curried, while awuko
could gather no satisfactory in
formation as to the sort of coun
try helms traversed, once the
fair is reached the visitor, as he
gazes ou things aud people from
all parts of the habitable globe
becomes possessed with the
spirit that called together from
the whole eailh the material for
a gran 1 and startling panorama
aud realizing that he is at a
worlds fair, takes no more con
cern about Oregon than he does
about auy other locality.
Unless Oiegon follows up the
fair with appropriate means of
getting and keeping in touch
with the people iu the older
states it is bard to see and un
reasonable to expect a very
large increase to our population
as result of the fair at Portland

waa taken as expressing a po
litical axium and politicians
were excused by the maasea for
acting upon it, and like Davie
Crocket campaigned with a plug
of tobacco in one pocket and a
bottle of whiskey in the other.
The history of senatorial
elections in Oregon, if written
in detail would show senatorial
candidates setting in their room
in the Chometk Hotel,
wiih boxes of cigars on their
tables and demijohns of liquor
within convenient reach sur
rounded with tumblers. Mem
bers of the Oregon legislature
ho had been invited "to see"
the candidate, while waiting in
the anti-room for his turn to
enter iuto the presence of the
August statesman aud candidate
oould hear the gingle of many
glasses aud smell the smoke
from imported cigars.
The signs of the limes indi
cate that such scenes are of the
past ; and that the surest way to
get the votes of Americans, is
to assure them th at you stand
for "right doing end a square
doal" This is proven by the
way honest Democrats by the
millions compliment Boost. veil
and other millions of Republi
cans give Gov. Polk of Missouri
a hearty hand shake.
While boasting of the great
things some of our leading men
have done for Oregon in the
past quarter oentury, the boas
ters make no mention of the
fact that Oregon has mismanag
ed its school land, and is today
the poorest supplied with rail
roads of any state of its size aud
age in the Union.
