1M OREGON NEEDS 200,000 MORE SETTLERS Heport of Vice President Bram ; -well of State Chamber of Com merce, Back From Tour. IVE COUNTIES PROGRESSING PORTLAND WINS CANNON -7 ' Cheap Land in Excellent Stock 'Raising Districts Would Prof itably Support Thousands. i Central Oregon is in absolute need of over 200,006 more aettlera to de velop Its lands. Several hundred thousand more citixens could be eas ily accommodated and there is a great shortage of labor just east of ?the Cascade mountains. Residents are capitalizing the natural ad vantagea'of this district and a pros perous condition prevails through out. These and other important facts were tbrousht to tl.e attention of F. S. Bram- iwell, vice-president of tha State cnam 'ber of Commerce, who has just returned ? from making a. survey of conditions in i Klamath, Lake, Deschutes, Crook and J Wasco counties. MAK1SG EHD STBIDES. "Rapld strides in industrial and agri cultural development are being made in Klamath county," says Bramwell, "and anyone would do well to Investigate the prevalent prosperous conditions. The lumber industry is bringing a great amount of money into the district. It is stated that this Industry alone has a payroll of $250,000 a month. "Agriculture In Klamath county is still In Us infancy, in comparison to the development residents hope to make soon. Although there is a large acre age under cultivation, Klamath county people have in mind the needed develop ment of several irrigation projects and contemplate improving approximately 130.000 acres. Klamath is particularly adapted to Btock raising and general agriculture and la capable of supporting 50,000 people more man n nas at me present" MUCH SPLKSDID LA5D From Klamath county Bramwell cov ered the entire territory of Lake county. where he was surprised to find so much splendid land available. "I had been given to understand that on account of extreme climatic conditions in this sec tion," says Bramwell. "that Lake county was fit only for raising stock and hay. I find this absolutely incorrect. The Lake district has tens of thousands of acre's of splendid sage brush 'land, the equal of which I have seen in no other district In the state.f ' ' ."Water supply at present is inade quate for development of this land, but 1 was told that the residents of this district contemplate building two large reservoirs sufficient to care for 100.000 acres. Corn, melons, potatoes and fine varieties of vegetables were " growing everywhere Lake county needs 25,000 more people "Lake county has about 125,000 sheep and 60,000 cattle, with an assessed val uation of approximately $12,000,000. Land is cheap all. through this section and' homeseekers will find it well to Investigate conditions there." In . Deschutes county business was found In excellent condition by Bram well, who reports a great amount of new land being brought Into cultivation and a spirit of thrift prevailing every where. From Deschutes the state cham ber representatives went to Crook coun ty, on which he makes the following report : "A large rock-filled dam Is being con structed, and when completed will be 90 feet In heighth. The canal and ditches have already been constructed and with the completion of the reservoir about the first of next year, the system will be put Into actual use. Crook county too has a large amount of splendid land, which has little value without irriga tion, but with the completion of the present system, the district has a splen did future. .CROOK COrXTTS WEEDS "It was hard to realize that Crook county supplies about half of the stock brought to the Portland stockyards. The county needs its population increased at least 10 times." From Crook county Bramwell's itinerary led him through Wasco, where he reports seeing very good crops of wheat, which the growers were disposing of at high prices. "While the city pf The Dalles is really congested now, an opposite condition prevails In the rural sections, where 6,000 more people are needed. Concerning Wasco county Bramwell says : "While the irrigation of Wasco county SpotlessComplexion .

The cannon was captured by troopa from the Northwestern states in an en gagement in Northern France. It has been turned over t Edward -Ceoking-ham, executive chairman of , the.

Nel son Morris, American minister to Swe den, arrived back at Stockholm Septem ber 15, after a visit to the United States, the state department announced this afternoon. Freeport. Pa.. Sept. 20. (I. K. S.) A challenge to Bolshevism and 9, plea for & six months' industrial Ar mistice were voiced by Attorney General A. Mitchell PaJmer, In an address at the reunion here this aft ernoon of the Seventy-eighth regi ment, Pennsylvania volunteers. "There is no room, u there ia no need in this country, for those who resort to violence to impress their ultra-radical views upon the people or the government," said the attor ney general. "They will get nowhere by such meth ods," he continued- "The government proposes to protect itself against attacks from within as carefully as it has shown itself able to protect itself against at tacks from without. Neither the jrov ernment nor any of its officers will be embarrassed or affected, much less frightened, by any attempts, organized or unorganised, by lawless elements in the community to terrorise and stam pede the government into doing some thing contrary to the spirit ef our free institutions, as designed by the fathers and sustained by all the generations of men through the life of this republic FORCE OF SO AVAIL "Every reform which the most radical may desire to incorporate in our body politic will receive a fair hearing and full consideration and become effective only when a majority of the people, through the regular channels provided by the constitution, so shall decide. "No change will be hastened by the use of force. "Those who cannot, or will not, live the life of Americans under our institu tions, and are unwilling to abide by the methods which we have established for the improvement of those Institutions, from time to time, should go back to the countries from which they came. Every power of the government will be used to compel those who remain here to eomport themselves with that respect for our institutions which are a part of the creed of real Americans." In urging an absolute industrial ar mistice for six months, Attorney Gen eral Palmer said : JOIJTT PRODUCTS JUST "Labor is asking a larger share of the joint product of money and labor, and there is much merit in the claim. But the chance of getting It is net advanced, nor-the justice of it more widely recog- The Dallea, Sept. 20. This la the story of how a goat got the goat' of a couple of well known guardians of the law of The Dalles, The nieht was dark. Browsing around the city was a ,"Bil!y" with whiskers, full grown. Somebody lalkeflt sweetly to the goat and led him to the city Jail, where he was tied to the safe, on the inside of the Jail. Chief of Police Frank Heater entered, receiving a hearty welcome. With the aid of much expressive language the chief was able to get the goat unOed and then, being fn a playful mood, he tied him to the door knob. Jo Crate, another member of the police force, entered, receiving demonstrative wel come, then beat a hasty retreat. Heater took the goat from the Jail and, getting him out in tha alley, at tempted to help him en his way with a well-directed kick tout the coat turned, like the proverbial worm, and scored the last lick. The city Jail is being fumigated. In the meantime the chief is looking for the person that pwt the goat to the Jaii. its. a great force of men has been busy cleaning up the mines, but there are so ! many in the North sea that it will be a i long time before "they are all gathered i in." j iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

If money and labor would both make a demonstration of the enormous capacity of American genius to produce the things that are necessary for human kind, we would soon run into an era of easier living and better times for. all. and the peace made by such an armis tice would continue as the permanent peace resulting from mutual good will.
