This difference in attracting population of a desirable and progressive character cannot be account ed for by the more desirable climate, fertility of soil or other natural advant ages possesied by th most progressive localities. . The states with th mildest climates and longest growing seasons ars not gaining in population a fast as colder states in som instances. Massachusetts in 1 870 had a population of 181.3 per sons per square mile, and in 1900 there wjre 348.9 persons to the squar mil a gaii in the thirty year of 167.6 parsons to the squar mile. Connecticut in 1870 had 110.9 person to th squar mile, and in 1900 that state had 187.6 parsons to the square mile a gain of 76.4 person per squar mil in th thirty years'. Rhode Island in 1870 had 200.3 persia to the squar mile, and in 1900 had 407 persons to the squar mile a gain in th thirty years of 206.7 persons per square mile in the thirty year. Alabama, of the southern states, had 19.S persons to the squar mil in 1870, and thirty years after ah had 56.8 per sons to the square mile a gain in th thirty year of 16.2 persons. Georgia, of the southern states, had 20.1 persons to the squar mile in 1870 and thirty year after h had 37.6 persons to the square mile a gain in the thirty years of 16.8 -persons. Iowa, a cold state, in 1870 had 2 1.5 persons to th square mil and in 1900 she had 40 2 parsons per squar mil a gain in thirty years of 18.7. Illinois another cold state in 1870 had 4S.4 persons per square mil and in 1 900 she had 86.1 a gain in thirty years of 40.7 persons. ' . People in seeking new homes look to th social atmosphere. They exmmin th county roads, schoolhouses and general character of the people and opportunity for employment with as much interest as they do th thermometer, scenery or soil. SCHOOL LAND the Blue Mountain Eagle, th oftV al paper of Grant county, in its list of land sold in that county for the week ending Feb 21. 1906, gives th sales of 960 acres of school land by th state of Oregon at $ 1 .25 per acre, and for which th state received $1,200. The state of Washington sells its school land which is no better than Oregons at from $2.60 to $10 per acre. At th lowest price in Washington 960 acres would hav brought $2,400 and at th maximum $9,600. It is about time that Oregon placed a fair pre upon it school land. Th subterfuge usd in Oregon a an xcus for selling jts school land for less than half what it is worth and should be sold for, is, that cheap land encourages settle ment. Washington thought a good fat common school fund a better advertise ment to bring in population than cheap l.nd for speculator. Washington is growing faster than Oregon in population from 1870 to 1900 n - u m Improves the flavor and adds to the health fulness of the food. Washington gained 7-3 persons per square mile and for the same thirty year Ore gon gained but 3.4 person per square mile. The current of popular sentiment in d fferent part of th state appears to be setting strongly in favor of Frank T. Wrightman, of Salem, for the Republican nomination for secretary of state. His excellent and valuable work is being re cognized and appreciated, and he ought to. and w believe will, receive the nomina tion.
