.WHYISORMONSOSIOVY?
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.

Hearst and his attorney persist in the
claim and riot merely that a recount of

large number of frauds, but of such
character and sufficient in number to
show that Hearst is entitled to the
mayoralty.
