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 that best is likely to be a good

- Dallas Itemlsser: . A majority of the
people of Dallas havo decreed by their
votes that our town shall hereafter be
ory. This being so, tne Jtemlser -wants
to here and now make a declaration,
and that Is that it must be made so
in fact and not in name, as are so
many towns In the Willamette valley.
We know by personal observation that
prohibition, in most of the counties is a
misnomer, but,' If we can help It, such
will not be the case here. The law must
be complied with in every respect. There
must be no bootleelrg, no blind plrs.

The central graded school of tha

city counterpart and with the progress
of education In general, in that it Is
endeavoring to be as practical aa pos-

latin is coming back into tho rural
schools after an absence of some 60 or
70 years, but it is not taking its old
fiositlon of transcendent Importance and
t. never will. The emphasis now Is
based on practical mathematics, ' hy
giene and athletics.' Instead of educat
ing tho mind alone the modern public
school endeavors also to train tho hands
and strengthen the body.
The teaching- of hygiene ln ths nublla
schools Is already having a tremendous
innuence, ana in tne next u years it
will havo worked a transformation of
the habits of everyday life in this
country.
Alcohol is already' feeling ths blows

New Power Needed. -
Corvallls. 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.

keeping and economical housekeeping is
to have as little waste as possible, and
the clever woman can contrive endless
ways of accomplishing this. Salads

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
