Another Word about Land Shows
We are looking forward to new
conditions of immigration to the
Pacific Coast. The completion
of the Panama Canal is to open
up new fieds for exploitation;
and whether we improve the op
portunities thus offered, or not,
the canal will bring to us a new
volumn of immigration, and
undoubtedly a new class of
immigrants. The situation sug-

Special features included
the
two demonstration trains, one
through Central Oregon, making
a run of 952 miles, stopping at
12 stations, at which over 4,000
ranchers heard lectures delivered
by nine experts, and the poultry
demonstration train, operated
over the Southern Pacific lines
in the Willamette Valley, from
April 6 to May 4, making 50
stops and reaching 21,932 per
sons.
The cumulative benefits of
these various forms of instruc
tion cannot be estimated.- It
must necessarily bring forth pro
gress and development to far
outstrip any that might have
been accomplished in the past
ten years, wonderful as that pro
gress has been. There is but a
single dark note in the entire re
port. Insufficient funds made
it imr.ossibe for the experts to
respond to all ihe requests
made of them. They did most of
this work without additional
compensation, thus reducing the
expense of the department to a
minimum, and making the
splendid report possible.
But Oregon must not remain
idle. Other states are doing
work of the same nature, and
on the same scale. Not only are
such efforts progressive, but they
are highly defensive. There is
every need for the continu
