THE PROHIBITION COLUMN. THE Fit I IT AGE OF VnOUltllTlOy IS KANSAS. The Omjonian has so well spoken our sentiments alout the State fair, and they are so applicable to our county fair, that we publish the article entire. The State fair ought to be held af. Portland, and so should the county fair be held at Rosebnrg. The prices of admission should bo reduced at both places, and ladies should not pay a i-ent. Tlfe State fair should advertise, and cease indulging the opinion that peopU will come whether they know it or not. Premiums should be given on small articles and not all riven to the horse race. . "The twentv-seventli annual fair at Salem under the management of the State Agricultural Society ended on Saturday. In some respects it was the best fair of recent ycara. The exhibit of agricultural products were better than usual, ana there was more variety in the entortainment for visit- was the By Peter JlcViear, D. D., President of Washburn College. The prohibitory amendment to the Constitution o Kansa?, was adopted hi the autumn of 1880. The law to en force this amendment went into effect in Mav, 1882, a little over five years ago. The majority by which the amendment was small. Many of the temperance people were apprehensive as to the result. Would it not remain a dead letter upon the statute books For several years, even as late as 18S3, in some cities the sentiment was strongly against the enforcement. But the growing sentiment of the people in the rural districts and m the smaller towns, became so intensified, that county officers and state officials even were made to feel ihe pressure of pop ular indijrnation against the saloon and acrainst anv citv that liersisted id thwartinct the will of tho people. The most refractory points were vis ited bv the attorney "cncral of the state m person, and by the stion" arm of the law every saloon was closed. It may now safely be affirmed that th arc en YV.1. At. . L a i rr r i i ji prohibitory laws or Kansas v, u.nAt .. ... ?nn i lurcuu lib tuaiuciT o vimi win""" was large and the "sport . was from the beginning to the close. As to the morality of racing and tho thincs that seem inseparable from it there is wide difference of opinion, and since discussion comes to nothing tho subject may as well be left alone. On another ground, the speed depart ment of the fair is criticised unjustly by those who declare that the managers rive up too much money to it. As a matter of fact, tho races more than pay for themselves. Ihe recoipts for en- tries in the various races, the gate at tho grand stand and the sale of the pooling privilege brought m a sum more than equal to the sum paid m racing premiums. Besides this, at least half of the attendance upon the fair was attracted especially by the races. The races are a necessity to the fair. Without them it could not main- tain itself at all. Whether or not it is worth maintaining and whether its influences are tor better or tor worse are. matters which must ba considered with the races included, since without them the fair would certainly fail. In its hnanccs the recent lair was entirely successful. The receipts and expenditures have not yet- been figured up, but it is known that the former are in excess to the latter. The sur plus, which will not be large, with th c subsidy of 83000 from the state will enable the society to pay another large installment on its debt, which in another year or two ought to be cleared up entirely. The management of the fair could be greatly improved by more liberal policy. The cost of admission ($2.50 lor the season tor men; $i for women and daily entrance $1) is so high as to limit attendance. Rates ought to be reduced at least one-half. On the other hand greater effort bhould be made to attract attendance. A libsr- ality. . costing nothing, would have se cured .a full regiment of militia from Portland on one day and the great Barrett circus for the whole week, and presence of these attractions would have drawn at least three thousand people who staid away. Since the suc cess of a fair depends upon the atten dance, no pains should be spared to make it popular. Since it is the truth not to be dis puted, we cannot refrain from saying again that the fair is held at the wrong place. In Salem it must be an out door exhibition subject to the chances of tho weather, and taking one year with another there will be one failure in three. Furthermore, at Sa lem the hotel capacity is limited, there are no local attractions to speak of, and not population enough to give the fair a profitable local support. Since the State fair claims to be general in char acter and to represent the whole state, it should be held at tho largest center of population, at the place easiest of access, of most local attractions, where the means of enteitainment arc suffi cient for all comers, where it would not be greatly affected by unfavorable weather and where there is a large population to give it patronage and support. Political managers have learned by experience that a conven tion held at the center of population and business, Portland, is always well at tended, wliile a convention held any where else is always full of proxies. So it is with all popular assemblages. At Portland the fair would always be certain of success, good .weather or bad, as an institution of public interest and value and financially as well. We say this not in the spirit of local selfishness but because it is an evident truth. Portland has small need of the fair and if it could prosper as well or even maintain itself at Salem we would rather it would stay there. Every year emphasises the necssity for a genci-al superintendent, used to tie management of b g enterprises and endowed with full authority. Such an offcer, qualified to organize the fair in advance, to advertise it in effective ways and then to manage it would earn his salary many times over." laws. The Governor of the fetale, a few days since, addressed a lett3r to the general manager -of the Associated Press, in refutation of floating state ments as to tho failure of prohibition in Kansas. At the adoption of the. Constitutloai Amendment, the (Jov- cnior was onq oi those who ueuevea that the measure was a mistake, but the results have fully convinced him of the opposite. From statistics care fully gleaned the following showing is made: In 1880 the population of Kansas was 996.09G; now it is fully 1,650,(300. In 1880 Kansas hud only 3,101 miles of railway; now about 7,000 miles more than double. In 1880 the assessed valuation of property, real and personal, aggregated only IG0,89I,G89; now the returns in dicate a total of $300,000,000 nearly double. In 1880 Kansas had 5,151 school houses, 2,511 churches, and 317 news papers; now 8,500 school houses, 3,500 churches, and 700 newspapers. In 1880 only 55 towns had popula tions in exccs3 of 1,000; now over 200 towns have each over 1,000 inhabi tants, 25 towns each over 5,000 inhab itants, and four have each over 20,000. In 1880 only 8,8G8,000 acres were planted in crops; this year the area planted is 16,000,000 nearly double. In 1880 the value of the faim pro ducts was about $84,521,000; in 1886 over $264,000,000. During the past two and one half years 17 new counties were oi-ganizcd; four more are a'xmt to be organized, with only two unorganized counties re maining. The Governor closes Ins communication with the following strong and terse statements of the case: "The cities and towns of Kansas, with hardly an exception, have kept pace in growth and prosperity w ith this marvelous development of the state. Many of them have doubled their population during the past year, aud it is a remarkable fact that several cities and towns languished or stood still until they abolished their saloons, and from that date to the present time their growth and prosperity has equaled, and in Borne instances surpassed, that of other places with equal natural ad vantages. ihe summing up or the lacts or a census confute and confound those who assert that the material prosperity of any community is promoted by the presence of saloons So as far as Kan sas and all her cities and towns arc concerned, the reverse of this assertion is true. The most wonderful era of prosperity, of material, moral and in tellectual development, of growth in the country, cities and towns evci witnessed on the American continent has been illustrated in Kansas during the past two years, the period of its most energetic and complete- enforce ment." The prohibitory movement now is of the nature of a great moral reform, The people arc behind it. And the day may not be far distant when the wonder will be, as in tho case of Amer ican slavery, that the saloon should ever have been tolerated in any civil ized community. The Boom. The excitement and rapid advance of values in Southern California has spread all over the Pacific coast and has added many thousand in population as well as millions in ' wealth. The boom is rapidly traveling northward and Oregon is beginning to share in the prosperity which it brings with it. A land like ours where can be raised almost all kinds of fruit ii fast coming to be valuable. It is now conceded that there is little danger of our glut ting the markets of the world with our canned and dried prunes, peaches, and other fruit. The demand for them is steadily increasing and, of course thi land that will produce 6uch fruit is in demand. And, .as the area is limited, the price is enhanced by demand. Capitalists whose United states bonds arc being called m are looking around for real estate that will pay at least as miicii as tne&c ionus. Thev do not expect to -ret land that will return in rent awl crops ten per cent: over taxes, as . thev did when money was worth one in-1 one half per ccut. a moiiti). Thiy an anxious now Lo tret land that will iav four or live per cent. Ib;ii.-o it i; eiiy tj see why land is double in value by ihe great reduction in the rate of iuteie-st for money. One good result of the boom wo see already, m that many of the large ranches are being divided, and 1,000 acres will soon support six or ei'ht families aud tho large hay Cells which no yield but live dollars a year will be planted in prunes or peaches and yield Children Cry for PITCHER'S HAG BflBo QQDA mm THIS SPACE IS RESERVED FOR THE AD.

In this way the population will be quadrupled in many places, and t'ie people who are now coming in here and investing in or chards and real estate are usually both intelligent and thrifty, and will be excellent neighbors and fellow citizens.
