We know that, criminal boldness and ruthlessness him reached a new pinnacle In the Illinois metrop olis. We know that one of the greatest disgraces of this gen eration of American life is the clime record of oil r second city. I'erhnps the ciime commission, rejuvenated by indig . mint citizens a few months ago, is making progress we earnestly hope ns much. But yesterday's massacre news does not indicate it. "I BRINGING POPULATION WESTWARD ; Tlie development of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest is . the more" or less personal concern of every citizen within its borders, Those whose business it is to know our resources i and possibilities are always interested in new means of at tracting population, capital,, and the physical and mental energy necessary for more rapid progress and prosperity. We all have certain pet schemes at various times that seem to luck gyr$ 1 .tpijop ayd (o possess great potentiali ties. This or that should be done for agricultural develop ment, or this or that factory is ideally suited for our indus trial expansion.' And while pur Ideas are legion we often ne glect facts that mnke a great majority of them impractical - under existing circumstances. ' In his after-dinner address here Wednesday evening Frank ' Hranch Riley touched one point that is significant jm view- i jug me pogKiuuiucs 01 community aevewpmeni. r nrougn in numerable contacts with big business men and industrial lenders throughout the east, he knows all too well that fac 'tories are located in direct relation to potential market pos sibilities, that industrial investments must be governed by centers of population and their accessibility, i Manufacturing plants in other words, are established, in Oregon in propor tion to the. territory' capacity for consumption of a specific product, pV because wiw material and attractive plant condi tions overbalance, in some .instances,1 the disadvantages of distant markets. Products and the population to consume them on a mutually profitable basis must come hand in hand. One of the most effective means of accomplishing that dual goal, in our opinion, is through the experienced and highly diplomatic appeal of Frank Hranch Riley on the oc casions of his lectures to the wealthy and yet uninformed IHHiple of the eastern part of this country. With an entree to the most exclusive and most powerful clubs and audiences In the United States, Mr. Riley's subtle invitation to visit and sec the scenic; and playground wonders which he dc scrilies with such artistry of inestimable value to the Northwest's development. , j - It has long been our opinion that this personal salesman ship and personal, touch through Frank Branch Riley is an advantage of great importance to this section. Reaching as he does some hundred thousand of the most representative citi zens of our eastern states each year, the influence of his tours is far reaching indispensable if we are to attract the population and the industrial activities so necessary for the leahzution of our collective dreams of this great Northwest.
