Since the last waterspout at for Crook county one of the many Hefner numerous "For Rent" j strides which of late, are fast ydae and "For Sale" advertisements are ing it among the foremost in the appearing in the Heppner papers.' Most of the ads state that the houses spoken of lie above the high water mark. In view of recent events it is not likely that Heppner will show a very material increase in population by the time the next census is taken. North Yakima, Wash., has a population of 6076, a gain of 121 per cent in five years, and these figures do not include 3000 persons living in the suburbs. As a whole the figures could not speak more conclusively of the immense gains to be derived in a country which has been built up solely upon ir rigation enterprises. With 400,000 acres of Crook county's land to be reclaimed, it is not improbable that a like increase will be noted here in the same length of time. In an interview at Salem the other day, United States Senator Chas. W. Fulton said: "I have been try.ng to get the press of the state to appreciate the danger to the state's future through the forest reserve policy of the government, but it has seemed a difficult thing to have them arrive at a realization of what it means to the state. I fought theproposition in congress last year and Ehall continue to do so as long as I am in the senate from Oregon. As the matter stands now, one-fifth of the lands in the state of Oregon are tied up so that they will do no good to the state nor permit of development. I con sider the action of the government as an outrage, and that the people of Oregon should protest ener getically against it must soon be evident to them." If Dr. Lane stands in the future on the same platform on which he was elected, Portland will enjoy for a time a period of decency. There can be no doubt that the work of Sheriff Word since he went into office had a material effect in the election this week of the May or. Both are democrats, but it is evident that a change of political administration is the best circum stance that can surround Portland in the present instance. The Re publicans alone are to be blamed for putting up a man whose age and career, since he has been at the head of municipal affairs, were prohibitive. It took a Democratic Sheriff to bring to the people a realization of the fact that there are laws in the statutes that must be enforced. Perhaps Dr. Lane can bring a sympathetic feeling among the residents of Portland regarding civic matters. If he cannot, then the Republicans are all the more to blame in their negligence for having let a demo cratic candidate assume the duties of the office to which he was elected. The organization of the com pany which will operate on Look out mountain in the cinnabar fields, and which in no great length of time will add an im portant branch to the development and business interests of Crook county, is a matter calling forth a good bit of commendation. Not all of this county's latent possibili ties have been developed, but it if far better that they should be handled in every instance by home people. When that is done tiie bene tits veturn to the same source, and a greater sense of security in the country's resources is given outsiders who may wish to invest in projects similar to the one noted. A country which has no confidence in itself is not one which is likely to inspire con- nuence in otners, ana more par ticularity the investing kind. To the Prineville business men, there fore, who have undertaken the establishment of a mining enter prise, whose worth will be better appreciated at a later date, there is due the credit for having taken , CROOK COUNTY. state The west and the southwest the great and splendid Pacific slope, all the way from British Columbia to the northern states of Mexico in clusive, and all the great soutwest including Texas, Indian Territory and Ariiona call for men and women. These vast regions are asJ yet but sparsely populated. Their natural resources are sufficient to support many times their present inhabitants. A great part of their vast aggregate area is capable of sustaining a larger population per square mile than throngh the At lantic coast states. there are mountains and deserts, it is true, but there is enough profitably habitable land left to make homes for tens of millions and the mountains are sources of great wealth and scenes of grest indus tries, and in many considerable areas with irrigation, from reser voirs of stored water or artesian wells, even the desert can be made to blo.-som as the rose. All this vast western portion of the conti nent needs and calls for more men and women and children later. It does not invite the tramp, the loafer; the idler, the swindler nor the gambler; it will treat these with scant courtesy, but it calls for men with capital, mean of small means, enough to make a start, men of energy and strength, even if they have little or no mon ey, honest decent, industrious home-building, state-developing men and women. The west needs such people, and a great number of such people need the west. In it there are more and better oppor tunities for them. In it they would be larger, freer, healthier, happier men and women, In it their chil dren wonld have a better chance ,to make a good start in life. The west calls to such men and women. Many of them, learning something of this glorious west, are yearning for it. Come on, come out, and grow up with this growing region, the best and to be the greatest por tion of our great country.

Total attendance at the expo sition, official figures, amounted during the first three days Thurs day, Friday and Saturday to 61,131. This week, so far, the at tendance yesterday was 7117. Today's figures cannot be officially given as yet, but judging from comparative crowds, it appears that the attendance will again he over 10,000 today. "The ex perience has been," said Colonel Henry E. Dosch, "that the attend ance after the ojieninir day has been very small. In St. Louis the paid admissions were just about the same as the total admissions here. In Chicago it was practical ly the same, never running alnivi 30,000 admissions for severa weeks."
