Those who may entertain the Ides that the Atlantic coast offers no at . tractions to the homeseeker or the . fcustness man will only have to visit the large cities and note their growth and improvement Go where you may either !n Washington, Baltimore, Phil adelphia, New York or Boston, there are a number of large steel ' sky. ; scrapers now In course of construc tion. In fact, several in each of the above named cities. Not a few of these Immense structures house a suf flicent number of people to make so called cities the size of La Grande. There are many buildings In all of our . large cities which contain during1 the working .hours nf the day and nlnht from 5000 to 10,000 people. In Chi cago the writer saw, J 500 clerks, em ployes of the Burlington railroad, come out of a six-story building, and at the suine hour could have viewed 8000 employes of the Great Northern railroad step out of their offices at one time a few blocks awnv.' The same duy we vlxlted the great retail store of Marshall Field, where we were Informed that between 8000 and 9000 clerks are dally employed. The point we wish to Impress In- this article 1 that the far cast Is not by any miens so overcrowded a r.i writer had been led to liti'ev.' u -' case. The largs ell!" a:v liiii-r.in,. . their transportation t-u-lllti ty means of subways and elevnted' rail roads, to such an extent and by build ing structures anywhere from one to 40 stories high that there Is appar ently no limit to the size of the growth of a city, As a result of these mod ern conditions all of our large cities are becoming larger, and es long as the commercial features continue to give employment, so long will these cities grow. The writer for the past two years thought that this entire northwest was not Investing either Its energy or Its capital as profitably as It might In their campaigns of population. In many Instances, pnsllily all, results have been sorured but we believe still greater r'!ilts could have been se cured In ench Indlvldmil community tiad the same amount of money and nrfgy been concentrated In securing manufacturing plants and payrolls. Let La Grande or any city furnish employment, and It wilt not be diffi cult to secure the people. In other words, people will naturally seek those localities where they can rear their families. For La Grnnde to ever be come a city of 10,000 or IS, 000, two things are, necessary, and either Is possible. One la manufacturing that will give employment. Anothe.r Is the subdivision of our farms Into small tracts. Hut. while the former may be secured by Intelllgont and persistent effott. the latter can never be reached ta any great extent until Irrigation Is perfected. The holdings In Vmntllla county are much larger today than they were five and 10 years ago. And If a careful survey was made In Vnlon county some sections would show a similar state of affairs. In those sections which have been sub divided It Is land that Is railed rich bottom or sub-Irrigated land. Let us give the matter of additional payrolls and Irrigation our earnest considers lion. ee ' In the La Grande poalofflce there Is letter advorltsed for I. A. M. Sober.
