They expect no less than 60,000 new settlers for the Pacific . Northwest during the 30 days the low one-way rates are in effect. Extra equipment is being assembled by the various lines to handle the heavy traffic expected and the passenger agents believe they will have all they can do to care for the flood of new comers. Inquiry at Eastern ticket offices is reported to be wide and the west bound trains bearing the vanguard of this great colonist movement are heavily loaded. During this week the travel is expected to be at its height and will undoubtedly be heavy. According to the records of the Government Forestry Service and the State Board of Forestry, Oregon has been remarkably fortunate this Sum mer In escaping the usual heavy toll taken by forest fires. The season has been marked by less destruction of timber than any in the past decade. Fires this year have been few and widely separated while losses have been small. This is thought to be partly due to an aroused public inter est in preventing forest fires and a largely increased force of fire wardens throughout the forests this season. "Woodburn wants to be a county seat. The public-spirited citizens of that town recently raised $21,000 bon us to Induce the building of an elec tric line. Some empty buildings in Woodburn indicate that closer connec tions are needed. It is not right that a few men should have to come for ward with bonus money for public improvements that benefit land in pro portion to Talue throughout a town like " Woodburn. There should be some way to get tne mossoacK ana absentee owners of lots and acres benefitted to come forward. In Eastern Oregon the Farmers' Union has succeeded In obtaining re ductions for grain sacks amounting in some localities to as much as from 4 to 6 cents each. The farmers by studying their own Interests ip a bus iness way can reduce both public and private Impositions on themselves. That they are inclined to quietly and unitedly do away with unnecessary charges on other things, including public service, is by many considered to the advantage of all Oregon. All over Oregon many hundreds of families are settling every month. New railroads building and projected are attracting settlers and opening up the wilderness. Oregon communities wise enough to not permit the vacant lot speculator to block their develop ment will receive the growth that is theirs by right of natural advantages around them. The communities ruled by mossbacks and dogs-in-the-manger will remain stationary, ot nearly so. The more rapidly the holders of large tracts break up their holdings and encourage the homeseeker the better social and financial develop ment will follow. Where we already have railroads would not the deevlop ment be more rapid if the idle areas were given over to small farm homes? And would not a Bystem of making it unprofitable to hold land out of use In the hope of profiting thereby be beneficial to the entire state? Echo, Ore., has an alfalfa meal mill capable of turning out 50 tons of meal a day. Owing to questions of title to water this mill has been idle for some weeks. Would it not be better for Carry No Money On Your Person It Is not necessary, beside it Is unsafe and dangerous. Deposit yoor money in this bank subject to check, then when you wish to pay any person, write out a check for the amount. This method of paying bills is more con venient than employing the cash. No need to make change. You can pay by check wherever you are, at home, in the store or out in the country. The check account commends itself to every person for its convenience alone, to say nothing about the safety it affords. Why not make use of the check system? I There is absolutely no cost to you.
