ORAND JURY'S REPORT
The Observer believes in suggesiton
made by the Union county grand jury
that this county give more practical heed
to the importance of ' better common
roads in this county; and that as practical
assistance in that line, the county pur
chase some rock crushers and road
rollers. Each business man - and farmer
by a little figuring on everyday facts can
demonstrate that the want of better
common roads in this county, while a
great inconvenience and heavy' expense
to and upon the people within our border
it also keep out immigrants. A look
beyond our own border will satisfy any
one who will take the trouble to take it.
that no advertisement of the natural ad
vantages this county possesses will
attract immigration equal to a disposition
manifested by the present population to
construct and have good road. ' " '
Men in seeking locations in a county
which has been settled as long as Union
county, pay as much attention to the
character of the people that are to be
their future neighbors, for energy and
public spirit as they do to the soil and
climate, and hesitate to move their fami
lies among a population .that seems to
take little interest in public improve
ments.
It is an unpleasant concession to make
but a fact borne out by statistic that
population is coming to Oregon more
slowly than to our neighboring states.
though as for soil and climate Oregon is
the peer of any of the newer states. A
comparison between Oregon and Wash
ington should set our people to thinking,
The state of Washington has an area
of land surface of 66,880 square miles
and in 1870 had a population of 23,956,
and in 1900 there were 618,103 In that
state. In 1870 Washington had .'4 of a
person to the square mile and in 1900
there were 7.7 persons to the square
mile, a gain in population to the square
mile of 7.3 persons in the thirty years.
Oregon had a land surface of 94,660
square miles in 1870 and then had 1
person to the square mile, -and in 1900
there were 4.4 persons to the square
mile and in all .413.526 people, a gain of
3.4 per square mile in thirty, year.
In 1 870 the density of population in the
whole of the United States was 13.3
persons to the square mile and in 1900
it was 25.6 a gain per square mile of
1 2.3 persons in the thirty years. Oregon
is not keeping step. It is time to wake
up.
La Grande is today building the foun
dation for her future growth. We have
opportunities that are now before ue that
may not always exist. We need more
payrolls and by going out after them,
they can be had. There are certain in
dustries that can be' developed on a very
large scale which will give .employment
to one or two hundred or three hundred
men. We have raw material and every
thing east of us is our market We refer
to a large sash and door factory. La
Grande could secure such an industry if
w took the proper steps to secure it
IHI PRIMARY IAW

part of some Republicans to circumvent

is no use to try, brethern, the primary
election law has come to stay, and you
have to take your medicine. Of course
