Thoro 1b one outstanding condition
which Impresses anyone who makes
a trip to tho Central West and visits
the cities, especially Chicago tills
summer. That is the tremendous
growth which Is manifested in the
centers of population. Especially
is this true of metropolis of the
Middle West.
Never in Its history, a visitor is
told; and there Is ample evidence on
every hand to substantiate thb state
ment; has thero been such a build
boom known in that; superlatively
active community. The building
pormits for May, 1922 passed all of
tho city's previously high records.
Thousands of people are flocking to
tho big town to exist no doubt they
think to live.
What does this all moan? Fig
ures fall to toll tho story. One can
not say that this nation Is hard up
after observing ovon for a short
time the paco at which tho millions
in tho city go. Go is tho word, for
thoy apparently stay nowhere To
seo tho laVlsh expenditure of wealth
in automobiles; to obsorvo the ser
ial numbers on tho license plates is
added ovldonco of tho billions of dol
lars that have boon divertod from
actual necessities to bo spent In
moans of onjoymont. It compels
tho bellof that there Is more
wealth in America than is actually
nooded. But It also compels tho
belief that thoro Is a sad Injustice)
being done in tho method of distri
bution. Too much Is centered in
tho cities.
Thoro is an astounding contrast
manifested in the country. While
thousands upon thousands of build
ings aro bolng erected in the citlos
wboro rents for modest apartments
run .from $50 por month upward to
staggering flguros; apparently there
Is llttlo improvement boing. re

tho productivity of tho soil, but ap
parently this doniand is bringing
small profit to tho grower who Is
baroly holding his own, for he is not
adding now barns, now homos and
other bottormonts to bis placo.
But thero is anothor sldo of tho
plcturo. Thoro must come a tlmo,
whon tho farmer roallzos his possi

BOOSTED INTO TUET SENATE
Lynn J. Frazler of North Dakota,
must indulge in an ironical smile
those days whon he thinks of the
dlscoinforture of his political ene
mios. They "fired" him from the
gubernatorial chair and apparently
have boostod him Into the Unltod
States senate
Frazler has not changed since he
was govornor, and his election can
not be charged to a change of heart
on tho part of tho people of North
Dakota. Frazler did not win bo
causo of his own strength, but be
cause of McCumbor's weakness.
People outsido of North Dakota
will not understand the outcome.
There will be many falsa deductions
drawn from this apparent revival
of Non Partisan strength.
Tho facts are that Porter J. Mc
Cumber was tho political creation
of Alex McKenzle, the notorious
boss of North Dakota in tho decade
that has passed. His first election
was the result of one of tho shrewd
est pieces of political manipulation
that over marred the history of a
commonwealth. His defeat of John
son of Minot left a political scar
that never healed. But that is not
all that militated to McCumbor's
downfall. During the years of bit
ter struggle between tho Non Par
tisans and the I. V. A., as their op
ponents are called, McCumber never
took an out and ont stand against
tho Non Partisans. He could not,
for the Non Partisans were being
ably directed by Alex McKenzle
from bohlnd the scones;and McCum
ber was McKonzIe's protege. These
aro the facts in tho case, and bolng
so, how could the I. V. A. leaders
have much enthusiasm for McCum
ber? With them It was a case of
lose either way. This is substan
tiated by tho fact that Nestos, the
out and out opponent of the league
was returned a winner for the gov
ernorship in tho same election in
which McCumber lost. When all 1b
said and dono McCumber has gone
the way of all men who failed to
manifest courage of their convictions
and trlod to play politics and dis
regard principles.

LAUGHS AT PASSING YEARS
Veteran Nlnety-On Years Young
Rightly an inspiration to Thoto
Who Know Him.
Comrade Searles from the Soldiers'
home at Sawtelle was over at Ban
Oabrlel tho other day. He came by
way of the trolley car. But he could
have walked eaBlly, had he been so
minded.
Seventy years ago, Comrade Searles
used often to pass the old mission
of Son Gabriel when the padres and
the Indians were still there. Sixty
years ago he carried a muBket on his
shoulder In the Civil war. He is now
ninety-one years young.
And so he came back to this old
haunt of his the other day. We found
him sitting In the sun by the side of
the king's highway making sketches.
He drew fascinating pictures of the
Incomparably beautiful old campanile
of the mission whose bells rang out
their messages of peace and faith
long before the Liberty bell in the
tower of the State house In Philadel
phia rang out its deathless message-
In 1770. And he also sketched the old
stalrwny of the mission whose stones
nre worn with the feet of countless
Indian neophytes since It was bullded,
a century and a half ago. And a fine
sketch, too, of the Old Grapevine which
is the mother of all the vineyards In
California.
And we thought it a delightful expe
rience to have had. It isn't every day
flint one meets a man nlnoty-two years
of age who Is still as spry as a steel
rod, and whose mind retains all its
magical faculties. It was Inspiring.
We were proud to lift our hand to
our eyebrow and stand at salute be

THE UNION PACIFIC IS 1UGIIT
In view of tho controversy that
haB arlson over the railroad owner
ship resulting from the morgerlng
of tho Central Pacific and tho South
ern Pacific by tho United States Su
preme Court decision It is time that
the peoplo of Eastern Oregon awake
to tho monaco to their intorost and
dovolopmont which Is impending.
Oregon does not want tho South
ern Pacific to become tho dominant
factor, for tho Southern Pacific in
terests genorally predominate in
California and not in Oregon, and
thoroforo this Btato stands to lose
with its destiny loft in tho hands of
mon whoso interests Ho in a natur
ally competitive territory.
It is significant that tho develop
ment of Orogon railroads started
with tho rise of tho Uulon Pacific
to tho dominant placo in tho Harrl-
man group of linos, and endod with
tho passing of tho Union Pacific's
power Into the hands of tho South
orn Pacific in 1912.
Tho peoplo of this section havo
long known that tho building of a
railroad from Crane to Odell Junc
tion and thoro connecting with Na
tron cutroff has been delayed be
cause It would thon be possible to
route through freight from tho low
er Wlllaraetto Valley to tho middle
wost over lines largely in control of
tho Union Pacific, while at prosont
It is possible for tho Southorn Pa
cltlo to carry this freight down
through California and ncross to
Now Orleans, and the Southorn
Pacific got tho long haul and all of
tho rosultlng revenue. This Is
whoro tho conflict of intorost has
lnjurod Oregon.' It doos tho same
thing now to Novada and Utah by
dlvqrtlng freight that should go
through tho Ogdon gateway to thd
Southorn routo for tho identical
roason.
Tho docislon of the Supromo
court is good law and Justice. It
commends Itself to tho reasoning
.that competition In the big traffic
producing sections is desirable, and
it should bo upheld. It Is signifi
cant that tho propaganda dopart
mont of tho the Southorn Pacific
should bo sending out editorials
from tho Salem Capital Journal and
tho Eugene guard which apparently
have sought to befog the Issue In
their desire to attack Portland. Yot
tho Salem Journal and tho Eugene
Ouard both doslro that which East
orn Oregon wants, tho Natron cut
off and tho continuation of tho Ore
gon Westorn, to connect with at
Odell.

Electrified.
A third of the fnrm land In Sweden
now uses electricity for power. Farm

Inquiries about electrically-propelled
plows and harrows. Many of them
use electric saws to cut their firewood
and lumber. Some even have electric
elevators that lift whole wagon loads
of hay and grain to the mow.

Where does the power come from?
Usually, large' water-power plants.
But many Swedish farmers dam small

generate their own.

Personal Interest.
Mr. Dunn stood up In court, charged
with disorderly conduct, his head
swathed In bandages, and demanded a
trial by Jury.
"It's only a minor offense," advised
the Judge. "Why not plead guilty, pay
a small line and get It overt"
"No, judge," replied Mr. Dunn de
terminedly. "I want a trial by Jury.
The last thing I remember was when
I was standing percefully on the cor

The next thing was when two doc
tors were sewing me up. Unless I

Old Tom was a colored Janitor.
He really was not old, but his slow
shuffle at all times had caused the
nickname. A few days ago ne was
leaning his chin on a broom handle
listening to music from a phonograph.
After a few moments he started
slowly up the stairs, dragging one foot
after the other as though he was al
most exhausted.
"Tom," Inquired his employer, "are
you tlredl"
"Never," he replied, with a drawl,

Tho story of "Over tho Hill" was

her little flock. The principal
