'Raising Districts Would Prof

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

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 :
