Oregon is a growing state, and why should it not? It has an area of 60.518, 400 acres of land surface which is as good as any of its adjoining states. The question is, and it is one that should be seriously considered by everyone interest ed in the future of Oregon. "Has Oregon kept step with its neighbors in growth?" W will answer this question by reciting some cold figures from the United States census reports. In I860 Oregon had 62.466 people within its area, forty yearsifter, in 1900 there were 413.536 people in the state. again in the four decades of 861,071 people or 6 88 per cent gain. Washington on the north has 42.803.- 200 acres of land vesy similar but no better than Oregon, in 1860 had a popu lation of 1 1.694, and in 1900 there were 618,103 people in that state a gain in th forty years of 606,609 in population showing that the Increase of population for the four decades was at the rate of 4368 per cent. v Idaho in 1860 had a population of 14. 999 and has an area of 62.448.000 acres of land surface. In 1 900 our neighbor on the east had 161.772 people again in the forty years of 148.773 making the ga n (er cent of 978 for the decade. After giving due consideration to al :h resources. In the three tUs soil, :limate, mines, 'fisheries and forests the reason why Oregon has not kept pace with its neighbors was not accounted for by any impartial balance of all the mater ial resources m the three states. - It will b seen that Oregon- is th equal if not superior to either Washington or Idaho.1 Th cause of1 our lagging behind must be found elsewhere, and the next place- to look for th why of our falling behind our heighpdrcj jipsj -tifrally.ta fcs our own conduct, that t th politics which we, as stat have adopted in th management of stat affair. "We haveindulged In a great deal of laudation of our public men, th men who have shaped our legislation and officialism claiming that they, have rendered great service to th people, but have we hardly just cause for this praise. If our chosen leader have been a wis and capable as their friends claim, why is it that Oregon grows so much slower than other states with no superior natu ral resources? It is time the citizens begin to lake an interest in the affairs of state and cease to be simply personal retinue of ambitious leaders. .1 Don't wait until the last hour of the last day before Christmas to do your shopping.

Hearst and his attorney persist in the claim and riot merely that a recount of the contested precincts will disclose a large number of frauds, but of such character and sufficient in number to show that Hearst is entitled to the mayoralty. - The county commissioners at Colfax.
