WltYTHZYCOMf WtSI Ona of the moat gratifying evidences of the prosperous condition of the people of the Pacific northwest the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana is in the ownership of their homes and comparative freedom from debt Figures which have been compiled from reliable sources In regard to this territory show that only 18 per cent of the homes art mortgaged. Compare this with many of the older states. In Ohio, for Instance, mortgages cover 81 per cent of the homes; in Indiana, S3 per cent; in Pen nsylvania. 33 per cent; in Illinois, 35 per cent; in Missouri, 86 per cent; in Ne braska, 36 percent; in Wisconsin, 88 per cent; in Iowa, 89 per cent; in Michigan, 39 percent; in New York, 44 per cent; in Massachusetts. 46 oer cent. The farther east one goes, it seems, the greater the proportionate indebeted ness. Added to this is the fact that in the east the farms have been so continu ously worked for many years that the soil needs constant stimulation with arti ficial fertilizers, entailing large expense. Similar conditions are gradually becoming more and more apparent in the middle west While in this country the soil is fruitful to a degree that excites the wonder of all that behold it. Hence the great migration that is taking place from the east to the west Men learn that with a small portion of the proceeds of the sales of extensive farms in the east farms so large that the burden of cultivating them is a serious matter they can buy small tracts here from which they can get larger and better returns and have money in the bank, instead of pursuing a hand to mouth existence. The freedom from mortgage indebted ness so noticeable in the Pacific north west can not be looked upon in any other light than as demonstrating that those who have made their homes here are year by year adding to their store of wealth and enjoying a measure of pros perity not equaled in any other quarter of the country. Spokesman Review The campaign is practically over and the public can congratulate itself that the candidates one and all have conducted creditable and clean policies. There has been no mud slinging in this county. All the candidates have been active, but while trying, to assist their own interests they have not exhibited the fancied or otherwise faults of their opponents. In this particular the new primary law has been a decided success. , Remember the voting hours for the primaries are from I o'clock until 7 of the afternoon. It will require close atten tion on the part of the voters in the larger precincts or some will be left out By another election the voting hours will be extended, but from 1 to 7 is the law this time. (t is too bad that all of the candidates can not be successful. They are all charming fellows to meet However they must prove themselves to be good loosers s well as winners, as most of them will have to smile and wish their successful opponent success. A man who does not vote in the pri maries is derelict in his duty as a citizen. Improves the flavor andadds to the health fulness of the food.
