So per Una WHV IS OREGON BEHIND? Loyal citizens f'f Oregon are deeply mortified when they scan the U S census tables that toll iu cold figures that duiiug the past lation in Oregon has been less ihun in California on our south, or in Washington on our north, all three states having the Paci bo ocean for their western boundaries. If in their chagrin they should afck some explana tion of the men who have ha.) control of Oregou for the paet thirty or forty years should not be wondered at. The population of our neigh boring stdte on the south, Cali fornia, with its 156,172 equare miles of land surface, iu 1390 was 1,208,130 and in 1000 it was 1,485,053, showing a gain iu th ten years in people of 276,92;, a gain of 1.77 pereous per equare mile of iU land surface. The state of Washington oh our uoith, with its 09,180 square miles of land surface, had 319, 3iC people in 1890, and 518,103 in 1900, a giu in the ten yeaia of 168,713 people beiug an ad dition of 2 43 persons to each square mile ot laud. Oregou has a land surface of 95,560 square miles, and in 1890 bad a population of 313,- 767 and iu 1900 there were 413, 536 people iu Oregon, a gain iu ihe ten years of 09,769, tue in crease for the teu yean, being 1.65 per square mile of laud being .22 of a person has than California's increase, and .88 less than the increase of Wash ington. If climate is sought as an ex planation, it (ails because Oregon is sandwiched betweeu Califor nia aud Washing both of which have grown iu people faster than Oregon. There ia no more wiiste laud in Oregou thaii eithei California or Washington iu proportion to area. A careful investigation will loubtlesi disclose the reason why Oregon is not keeping pace with its neighbors. 1st Oregon practically has but one railway coiupauy, and it has not given to nearly fifty nine thousand square miles of the 91.560 iquare miles of the state's surface any transportation accomodations whatever. 2ud owing to the success wuicu and praihr Q " - have had in securing Uro tracts, "by wayB that are dark and tricks thst were not invain," the leal homseeker finds it dilli cultto find a vacaut tract on which to estal lish a home for self aud family. Where a va cant tract is found it is so sur rounded by "road land", pro cured for roads that never were built, indemnity or other school lands now held by speculators. swamp land from which curlews have to make long flights for a drink, now owned by a big took man From nnch surround ings the would be settler turns in disgutt for he sees no chance, on the isolated e,ots that the land grabbers have omitted from their Hot, of lnving ueigbb jf, schools or churches. It is a pity that the apples blown from the trees by the lale wind could not be made iuto vinegar. The Secretary of Interior dis m'ssed Geo.
