WHY SOMf GROW
In measuring the growth in population
and wealth of different states and in
localities in the same state it is found
that some states are increasing faster
than others in all that go to make a pros
perous state and that some localities in
the same state are developing much
faster than others. 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

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
