Oregon WATTERSON LIKES OREGON Ureat Opportunities for the Rising Generation. "If I were 20, here is where I should come," said Henry Watterson, the veteran editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, as he comfortably chatted after his lecture in Portland. "In 50 years there will be a population of 50,000,000 in this section of the country west of the crest of the Rocky mountains. By that time the domi nating influence will be on the Pacific and not on the Atlantic coast. "Westward is still the course of the empire. By that time there will be one and perhaps two isthmian canals and Portland will not be over 36 hours distant by rail from New York. The Pacific ocean will then be the great Highway of commerce and this mag nificent section so blessed by nature, so bland in its climate and so riot ously prolific will logically come to the very forefront. "Many cities will dot the whole Pacific coast, achieving an importance now scarcely dreamed of, but there will be three overshadowing centers of population and commercial conse quence which will be in constant busi ness touch with the whole round earth one north and the other south of you. "Here will be found the great op portunities for the rising generation and these things will come to pass during the lifetime of the boys who are now attending the public schools. If the boys who are here do not make a success of life with the opportunities which are opening up before thein and with the advantages of their magnificent environment, the fault will be with them and not with the country in which they have been so fortunately born or bred."
