It has been stated that payrolls make

make a city. There (s not another tovn
in Oregon today with larger payrolls than
La Grands'. .
There were some who thot the railroad

There are so many demands upon the
state as Upon individuals. The appropri
ations of the legislature ware B.600,000
dollare and not one cent of the vest
amount to maintain an exhibit at the
Jamestown exposition., There will be
millions of people attending this fair and
Oregon should have been in evidence. It
le not too late if action ie taken immedia
tely. An exhibition similar to the one the
National Cash Register people of Dayton
Ohio had at the Lewis & Clark fair, with
pictures, could be - maintained for about
6,000 dollars and a constant exhibition of
the scenery and industries of Oregon
would possibly be as effective ae if we
would have expended seveial times this
amount hi an attempt at an exhibit. It is
not too late, who will pass the hat.
f-TURf POPULATIONS
To .a population of about eighty-five
million we shall add during the next tan
years twenty million or over, giving us in
1916 a total of about one hundred five
million and by 1926, or twenty years
hence, one hundred thirty million. In
1931, or twenty-five years from now, our
population will be about One hundred
forty-five million. By 1936, orthirty
yeare hence, we will have in the United
Slates, not counting our insular possess-
ions,about one hundred . fifty-five million
people, of double our. fetal population, of
nineteen hundred. Looking forward
forty-four years to the middle of this
century, and the boys and younger men of
today will be active business men of that
period, We must count upon a population
of two hundred million. ' , As business
grows so much more rapidly than popula
tion, as the output of nearly ill manufac
tured and agricultural products increases
at an" ever-accelerating rate, and as
modern machinery and' inventions make
possible the doubling and quadrupling of
man's working capacity, it is not unrea
sonable to say that the two hundred mill
ion people of nineteen hundred fifty
should 'exceed in potentiality what four
hundred million could accomplish today.
Have we room for such a population
without over-crowding? Can we accom
modate these vast numbers and still find
ample land for the farmer and natural
resources sufficient for the worker in iron
steel and cotton and, other industries?
The briefest study on this point will turn
the most confirmed pessimist into an
optimist.
It begins to look as though Philander C.
Knox, formerly' attorney general of. the
United States senator may be brought

Apparently very little interest is being
taken in the proposition to bond the city
for 160,000 dollars. This is a large
amount of money and usually such a pro- i
position would meet with opposition. If J
there is any it is being kept mighty quiet

BROKEN JEWELS
Your watch may run if a jewel Is cracked or broken
and it may keep fairlp good time. .
The pivot revolving in such a jewel, however, soon i
cuts and frequently breaks, thus increasing the damage
and cost of repairing.
; If your watch is varying; it will pay you ' to . have !
it examined. : -
