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.
