HiU, the great railroad magnate in an address be fore the Minnesota state fair made the following statements that are worthy of careful consideration, coming as they do from a man whose business it is to keep in touch with present conditions as well as to read the future. "Notwithstanding the addition of more than one million of people a year from abroad, labor outside of the cities was never so scarce or wages so high as at present. A considerable portion of this year's crop will either be reduced in qual ity or entirely lost by reason of the im possibility to get labor to handle it. With in twenty years we must house and em ploy fifty millions of additional population Our one resource is the productivity of j our soil. Only half our land in private ' ownership is now tilled. On new lands in ! the west where the wheat yield was ! formerly from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. ! now it is 12 to 18, attributable to the wearing out of the soil. Agriculture in the most intelligent meaning of the term, is something almost unknown in the united btates. before the middle of the I present century, over two hundred mill ions of people must find room, food and employment in this country. By that I ume our mineral re:ources will be ex I hausted and there must be a revolt against j the worship of manufacture and trade as ' the only forms of progressive activity. Irrigation is rapidly developing the agricultural possibilities that President James J. HiU held in view as he was speakinsr nf the demands that would be made on the soil of this country when the population increased to the extent that it was now doing, within the middle of the present century. In fact water is now the basis of value, not the land, in those districts where the government is taking the initiative in their work of reclamation. After the arid districts hive been re claimed this fund which is irreduceable will be directed towards irrigating our best land?. For instance it may be many years before the attention of the govern ment could be directed towards an irriga tion project covering the Grande Ronde valley, notwithstanding the fact that our numerous streams contain an abundance of water for such purposes. Therefore in order for the present generation to se cure the advantages which our natural resources make possible, it will be necess ary for us to bring it about through our own energies. The results that willacruc from such an investment certainly will justify the investment. The Hunting Season is now Open. Something new in ! Automatic Shot Guns Ammunition of all kinds W. H. BOHNENKAMP CO "What promises to be the hottest and biggest political battle ever fought," is the way one Washington correspondent speaks of the presidential contest that is even now under way. It has already proved to be one of the hottest, having begun by hitching its band-wagon, so to speak, to Sirius the dog-star and placing General Humidity in charge of the whole procession. The man most responsible for this hot and early discussion of an I election that cannot take place until twen ty-six more moons have waxed and waned is undoubtedly William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska. He is to biame for it not by reason of anything he was doing ; or saying when it began, but simply by , resason of his continuing to be alive. No 1 one who has read Mr. Bryan's prosy nar ' rative of his tour around the world, as it I has been published in installments in the newspapers, car. attribute it to the power of producing this premature excitement, j That narrative has been hopelessly ma- chine -made and cyclopedic, with hardly a i gleam in it all of the "cross of gold" sort. But it furnished eviaence that Mr. Bryan was still living, and that fact has been sufficient to account for what we are now seeing and hearing. Current Literature.
