, LOOK ABOUT
"The day of free government land
la practically past There are a few
scattered areas In Montana, Wash
ington and Oregon remaining In the
federal government's ownership bat
It 1 of inch character that, for the
oat part, home seekers are not at
tracted by It ., irrigation projects
nay reclaim amall arid areas but the
oost of the projects will make the
Initial purchase price of the lands
comparable with present settled
farms.
The young men of the east may
follow Horace Greeley's adrlce and
"go west" buf if he wants a farm
he must be prepared to pay for It.
What waa once an adventure Is now
and Investment prpposltlon.
The., great English statesman, W,
X.- Gladstone, expressed the opinion
that the constitutional Institutions
of the United 8tates would not meet
a real test until after the- period
during which public land was open to
the settler. Whether that foe true
or not, the cessation of settlement
opportunity will undoubtedly pro
duce consequences for our na
tion socially and politically, and up
on the question of how wisely snd
with what foresight both the govern
ment and our people conserve and
develop the national resources of the
west, will depend largely whether the
passing of the era of free land will
bring a noticeable shock to our eco
nomic structure.
' The opportunities offered by free
land' are offered in another form by
the rapid increase In knowledge of
how to make the land now under
cultivation produce twice and thrice
what It did formally. Making 5,000
acres of alfalfa land which formally
produced three tons per acre per
year produce nine tons per acre per
year, by the use of sulphurous ferti
lizer and Irrigation water, means as
great a change to a community's
economic status as trebling the area
of cultivated! land If prevailing
methods are maintained.
If the mineral output of Josephine
county is $250,000 annually, that
development which increases It to
$1,000,000 annually Is creating as
much by way of added opportunities,
added wealth and added population,
as would the bringing into the com
m unity of a large number of new
people.
Intensive agricultural methods in
some sections, of Italy, Holland and
Belgium where more produce is
made1 to "grow en an acre et poor
land than Is produced on the aver
age 10-acre tract of the' United
States points to a solution of the
"no more free land" problem In Am
erica. ".. I

vage of waste, all go to make up a
total of opportunity that will bring
Oregon to a condition as far advanc
ed to what It now is as the present
day conditions excel those of the
Oregon pioneer. ,
Let Oreeleyys admonition "Go
west young man," give way to the
slogan "rouse your lethargy" and
economic conditions will solve them
selves tor decades to come.

Geneva, Aug. 10. Field Marshal
ron Mackensen's ' J Austro-German
forces in the Roumanian province of
Moldavia are fighting desperately to
drive the Russo-Ronmanlans back to
the river Sereth, said a Vienna dis
patch today.
- This fighting centers In the sone
where von Mackensen launched his
recent counter offensive, between
Fokahanl and Marasheahtl. The
Teutons have managed to cut the
railway between those two towns
and are now trying to advance on
Tekntchln. First however, they
must drive the Russians and Rou
manians across the Sereth and then
win a crossing for themselves.
AVIATOR TAKES PHOTO
H
Paris, July 26. (By mall)
Probably the most marvelous collec
tion of war aviation photographs In
the world are In possession of Cap
tain Guynemer, the noted French I
flying champion, who takes a photo-1
graph every time he shoots at a
Bocbe airman.
. Attached to the French flyer's ma
chine gun Is a camera a repeat
ing camera. A pull of the trigger
on the gun operates the picture ma
chine. The novel idea for procuring war
pictures is believed to be Guynemer's
own. But It haa proved such a great
success that every fighting machine
In the Lafayette Eacadrllle will be
likewise equipped. The photos will
undoubtedly some day make their
appearance in America.
