L INjCEStflU recently , ce.ebrat- brated the fiftieth anniver sary Df .Its admission as a state Into the union. It -was admitted only a year before Oregon was, ad yet while - Minnesota has grown from a population of 150,000 in 1858 to about 2,000,000 now, Ore gon, la many respects, a more desir able state in which to Jive,, has only . about one third of Minnesota's popu lation. This is .due principally, of course, to Oregon's , distance from . the populous portions of the country, and to the ' fact that for nearly a .. quarter of a century after, Oregon's -admission there was no direct rail , road connection between It . and the ' eastern portion of the country. , But even since rallroafis have been built across the continent Into this region, .Washington, made a territory when Oregon became, a state, has been fa vored, and benefited far more by them than Oregon. Speaking of Minnesota's' growth in the past half "century the St. Paul Pioneer-Press says: . r Tha 'wealth of the Mlnnesotans was approximately $30,000,000 a half con - ttiryi ago and. today the assesed valua tion of their property 1 $1,000,000,000, or $600 per capita instead of $200. There re today more cultivated farms sup porting 'happy, prosperous families than there were men, women and chHdren In the state B0 years ago. The capital city of ci. i aui nun vu per awnt mura i popu lation than was credited to theentire state 50 years ago. -'The factories of the city turn 'out annually products worth six times the assessed valuation o Min nesota property SO' years ago. - The St Tb.m1i jobbers each year sell goods valued at twelve times mora than all the prop erty in the state a half century ago. This Is a creditable and agreeable record, no doubt, and one that Ore gon cannot yet. equal only for the reasons mentioned. But a new era of development for Oregon Is dawn ing, and 60 years hence it may stand far ahead of Minnesota, though that state will continue to advance also. But the brighter, Jarger prospect ahead is for' Oregon. of one side .-or the other assert. No one can figure out exactly how much the liquor traffic does, at least su perficially and r. within a - limited circle,- to "help business.", But on the other hand nobody can estimate accurately the Indirect and ultimate losses, and Injury caused by that traffic and we are speaking' now or only the : money, the ; material eiae ofthe question. But we think that If a complete and extended ac count could be kept, the liquor traf fic would show up finally with balance on tbe debit side of the ledger. ' ' ' " ; Then there is the still larger c6n sideratlon, when one takes a broad view of the" subject, of the tremen dous moral and social harm the liq uor traffic does in a community the doors it opens to other vices. Its evil associations; its deteriorating effect, mentally and morally, on sa loon frequenters, the crimes It causes In whole oi in part, and their awful cost In many kinds of pay ment; the losses of money, property, homes, friends, families, - character; the suffering and shame and misery and degredatlon we have all read of it and heard of it and seen some of , It,. and know . that the tale of woe cannot well Je exaggerated. When all this Is considered, must we not conclude that even If prohi bition does temporarily somewhat hurt business and cause some In- Jury, It is finally the best policy for any community, at least for any vil lage or small -city? The immediate effect in the towns that contained a considerable num ber of saloons will probably be ap parently bad; they will suffer a tem porary business depression; but this will likely in most if not all cases be overcome after a little. Men adapt themselves readily to changed conditions; when they find they can not do as they have been accus tomed to do, they soon do the other thing quite cheerfully: and often what portends to be great storm- clouds turn out to be merely the mist that vanishes before a ray of sunshine and a breath of air. Where prohibition becomes a fixed fact, peo ple will soon adapt themselves to it. and make, he best of the situation, and that best is likely to be a good deal better than the former condi tion with a lot of licensed saloons. to the emergency.' It is equally for tunate that Oregon Is to send to the senate a man of the same' type and of the same resolute courage. , 1 The Journal was not an advocate i of the election of George E.

It is a serious affair for them, and in a less degree for oth era in Dusmess wno are. to some extent dependent upon' or indirect ly connected, in a business way with them.. Most saloonkeepers have famnies; some -are familiar 'with no other business and have little- capital with which to make a pew start; some have their owh homes,, which perhaps they cannot dispose ojt at once, and little besides, and so are left In an embarrassing position. Fi nally, many of them are personally good citizens, aside from their busi ness; are perhaps good neighbors, liberal and public spirited. So much ror the saloon men's side of the oc currence; to many of them It Is a catastrophe of greater or less pro portions, and The Journal feels like - sympathizing with them a little rath- ter than gloating over them. r But none of them could have been ' taken wholly unawares. Prohibition baa Jong been "in the air," and has been moving forward and spreading, and they knew, too, that the will of v the majority must rule in this coun try, and that under the law a ma jority of any county can make all places in ' the county dry. even against the will of any one or more precincts. An argument against the t fairness of. this as a local option law could be made, but a good ar gument could also be made on, the other side; but arguments are im material k after the courts have de cided. So there la nothing for the saloon men to do but to yield," and eithey take up some other occupa tion or move to some county or state yet wet though at the present rate of prohibition progress they might have to move again before very long. Does prohibition Inflict a severe snd permanent injury upon a town like Pendleton or La Grande?

Or.. June I. To the Editor of the Journal The most important things to 'our nation, and most every other nation, In the way of products are fuel, light, building . material and power. . The-latter is, in my Judgment, the greatest problem that confronts us at toe present, ss it is power tnat is con suming the other products which should be retained for their - own respective purposes.- coal, petroleum and wood are wendlnar their Way to the furnace as fast as human hands snd gigantic ma chinery can get. them there. It matters not . how abundant these products are, they must come to an end some day, particularly the coal and oil. Tha timber ma-r hold Its own if nroD- erly cared for. ; mow under tne approaching- condi tions, wo must do one of two thinars abandon all power created by fuel, or produce a substitute power. And that substitute- must not use fuel or any oUier product that Is useful to tbo hu nan race. We are aware of the fact that our population . is increasing every year. That means Increase of business in all branches. Our navy alone burns thou sands oi tons or coal every year, to say nothing of railroads and various other concerns which - consume coal by the millions of tons and oil in proportion. And now, Mr. Kditor, in my simple way ox tmnaing, tnere are two reasons why It behooves our government to make every effort to produce a power tnat win not consume our ruei. First If ths discovery be foreign and the nower be rsunerlor to the oreaent power, it win oe dangerous to our na tlOni , - . - Second If our fuel should glvs out before that of other nations wo would bo In great peril. Wa; and all other nations, depend al most wholly oft the mechanical power which is spoiled to our battleahioa and railroads, the two, mighty arms to our army ana navy. - Perhaps the majority of the people do not reauzetne oncoming conditions, and indeed It is hard to entertain any such thoughts until we think and atu'd-r tha whole problem from beginning to end. v While my suggestions may be some what In advance of the oncoming condi tions, w cannot rise too early while the enemy lurks near. i . - UEUROa T.

The secret of rood house. keeping and economical housekeeping is to have as little waste as possible, and the clever woman can contrive endless ways of accomplishing this. Salads are the delight of the thrifty, for al most anything- may be made into a salad. This Is not. to say that salads are to be strange mixings of food that Is not good enough to eat not at ail but the little .bits of this and that left over may be combined.- Two or three green onions, and radishes, not enough to make a sightly dish by themselves may be siloed with some cold potato ana dressed with oil, salt and vinegar, or a mayonnaise, and be used for a luncheon dish. Bits- of cold fish, peas and string beans make a good salad. And by the same reasoning soups may bo improved and the amount of food thrown away may be lessened by ad ding the cookod vegetables which are too small a portion to serve alone, to the soup, making-- it more nutritious. Much of the dietetic value of certain vegetables Is absorbed by the water In which thev are cooked., Thla la true of spinach and of aSpararus. The water In which these vegetables has been cooked can be added to soups with improvement of flavor ana) nt nutritive value. t Fashion Tips. . f wy-AISTLINES are still a little short of normal length at tho back.
