The real de velopment of the state hinges on competition. Men of brains build cities ' and states. . The men of brains will erect the shining city of palaces, skyscrapers and manu facturing; units in the interior of Oregon. These knights of intellect, and financial wizards have not arrived. Men with this type of mind have built Spokane-in the Inland Em pire and are building Longview on the lower Columbia peninsula.

If Salem ever stretches over the west side, as It has on the east, and as It is liable . to if it becomes the center of the linen and paper mill industry of the west, Salem will become a rival Willamette valley town of Portland.
