Oregon, with nearly 100,000
square miles of territory, can
support a population more
than twenty times as large
as that- which now lives
within the state lines. As this
population increases, more care
ful methods of tilling; the soil,.
and conserving our national re
sources, will add to the general
prosperity of all of our people.
The new settlers which a the
railroads are brinerine: ito the
newer portions of the state
must be provided with transpor
tation facilities or the railroads
will reap no benefits of conse
quence by bringing them here
at low rates. For this reason the
new arrivals will serve to hasten
the much needed extensions of
our railroad systems.

the wonderful publicity cam

in the past two montns more
than 60,000 new settlers. ' No
such movement in so brief a
period has ever before been
known, and it cannot fail to
prove highly beneficial' to the
entire territory by the new
comers. -''.'
All classes seem to have been
well represented in the move
ment. The Willamette Valley
and the older settled farming
districts of Eastern Oregon and
"Washington have attracted large
numbers of wealthy farmers
-who were in quest of a "fin
ished", farm or orchard already
in condition for making imme
diate returns on the investment,
and in Cenlral Oregon and over
in the coast regions, where rail
facilities are as yet missing, a
younger, hardier class has set

orchards out of the unbroken
prairies or forest. The poorest
agricultural opening that can
be found in the Pacific Nortlv
