Here are wo paragraphs from the current weekly finan cial letter of Henry Clews, the Wall Street authority : "From all parts of the country come favorable reports concerning business activity. There, has been a large percentage increase in, the production of copper, and in fact of all non-ferrous metals, while the recent growth in steel and iron production, already so well known, has continued to go forward. A re cent notable advance in tanning and leather probably repre sents the arrival of a period of recovery in this branch of business. Exports are also increasing in a good many staple lines, the proceeds of recent large foreign loans in this mar ket being used to pay for purchases The favorable de velopment of the various crops throughout the country still proceeds, and private reports concerning the. prospects of cotton are even more hopeful than had been expected a week or two-ago. The! ; reports from the Northwest a3 regards grain also indicate the probability of an even better produc tion than had been forecast." . Democrats says they are look ing forward to 1924. To look back to 1920 is enough to put a bad taste in their mouths.

THE LAND HUNGER "Fifty families from the state of Oregon are treklng up in old- time prairie Bchooners through the Fraser valley, towards St George, a rich farming district in central British Columbia. Their rate of progress is about three miles an hour, and they an ticipate being months on the trail. The new land to which the settlers are bound Is proving a great attraction to United States farmers, and it Is expected to ab sorb five hundred colonists before the fall." The above is an item dated at Vancouver B.C., in the current weekly (bulletin of the depart ment of colonisation and develop ment of the Canadian Pacific railway. It is a very safe guess that, within a few years, these fifty families from the state of Oregon would have been much better off financially, socially, educationally, and In most other ways that seem worth while to a high state of civilization If instead of treking with their pld-tjime prairie Bchooners into far away central uruisn Colum bia, they had been induced to buy lands In the Salem district suit able for the growing of the fruits and nuts that can be produced here at greater profit than else where in this country- like Bosc and Bartlett pears, Ortley apples, ROyal Ann and other cherries, red and Munger black raspber ries, Oregon gooseberries. Etters burg 121 and Trebla and other strawberries, Franquette walnuts and Barcelona filberts and their pollenizers; and pure bred cows, hogs, goats, sheep and poultry. etc.. The list is a long one. With proper scientific direc Hon, a colony ot fifty families in many sections of the Salem dis trict could make a name for it self in the turning off of high class products for the markets- for the markets that are already provided' and will continue to be insistent for an indefinite time in the future. The pioneering work has al ready been largely done in this district. The . rules of growing and 'breeding have been made. mostly; and the help of the Ore gon Agricultural college experts is always available tor new prob lems. In pioneer times, a colony that became In numbers 1000 people hewed 10,000 acres out of the woods,, and made their holdings worth a million dollars, when the colony was dissolved, leaving ev ery man! woman and child lade pendent. This was the Aurora colony, in Marion and Clackamas counties. 1 Fifty families would not -, need 10,00 acres. One thousand acres or less would provide work and a competency for all and wealth for their children; surrounded by and a part of a high state of civ ilization and culture and all the things that make life enjoyable and worth while.
