Our Soundest Savings Bank Tho following nrtlclo, written by (5 i Putnam, or Ilend, secretary to uovcrnor, Wltliycombe, appeared In toe Nntlonnl Sunday Magnzlno, of Mfir 14. The magazine Is the Suti- dnv fenturo of about 20 of tho larf cpgt newspapers In the east, and aa hast a combined circulation of over 3 000.000 copies the publicity value of the references to this country are evident Tho llest Having Itiink. The warden of a western pcnlton tiary recently checked over a list of crimes charged to the Inmates ot his Institution. He found that money-hunger got 75 per cent of tho nrlsoners In trouble. Ileitis a common-Honse sort of man, ho went directly to tho convicts, nsk- 4ng them questions iiko iiii'so: "iiava von ever saved any money? Did you over try to build up a bank account? Did von ever own property?" Nearly all tho men maintained that at times they bad accumulated some thing About one half boasted hav ing been bank depositors Including several accomplished bank robbers Hut out of tho four hundred odd prisoners quorlod, loss than fifty had pver purchased property. These men, whom money hunger had lodged behind prison bars, lack ed the foresight (often too, tho op jnrtmilty) to Insuro their future by banking upon tho fundamental nBset cf tnerlcnn progress land. nut for that matter there are bun dTilii of thousands of competent men nnd women, with records clear as iiouL'hlue and honesty everlasting, r.iio plod nlong totnlly oblivious or die axiom tho law of rising land aliirst and of tho opportunities for irKltlmato profit which It offers them. Tho rainy days may approach, but so long as n patch of liluo sky shows overhead, they ignore tho unibrella i argulns. And when tho down pour comes fns It does at times In nil our lives) thcy'ro distressed to find oth ers have- snatched up tho best bar gains nnd they must tnko tho culls or pay double prices. Today from tho very nnturo of things, It Is in tho regions whoro people nro fewest where tho rainy day Investment offerings nppcal most to thoBO who have eyes to seo and In telligence to foresee. Whoro popula tion Is scnntlst now, tho, compnrn tlvo growth of tho next decado will bo most notable and tho, opportun ities proportionate. And, of course, that means our tVest, which hnsn't yet been tapped, comparatively speaking. Tnko tho seven northwestern states for example tho Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. In 1910 their nverago pp- ulatlon was C.8 persons to tho squaro mllo. Washington Is the "crowded" state of tho group, with 17.1 citUons to each squnro mllo. whllo Wyoming grnntlng tho space occupied by Yel lowstono Park, nvoroges only ono and a half persons to each of its 97, CO I fqunro miles. And, Just for compar ison's sako, think of Massachusetts with four hundred nnd eighteen per sons living together in prosperous plenty on a similar area, or Now Jer sey with three hundred nnd thirty seven. Kurthor, the populatlon-to-nrea-flg-ures of these northwestern states are twlco ns largo for 1910 na they were for 1900, Just as tho actual propor tionate Increaso in population hag been grenter slnco 1900 than It wns from 1S90 to 1900. And it Is get ting greater nil tho time. Tho West is speeding up miraculously. What accounts for this over-Increasing ratio of growth? Why does the proportionate gain of tho west ern country each year grow greater' Once, whirling ncross tho whi-at lands of tho Dakotas, I put thoso questions to tho president of the transcontinental railway upon whose observation car we rodo. Transportation hotter, quicker transportation,," imld he. "That's the answer. Just look at tho now cities nlong tho lino of any western road and see It yourself. In the old railroad dnys this northwest country was a couple of thousand miles from the population centers nnd tho mar kets, Compared with conditions then, everything from Dakota to Ore gon Is now next door to Chicago and New York. Modern transportation nua BiiruiiK tins old continent ten loui. nsn day or two us against n month or two, nn ' fifty dollars goes iuriner uinn did SiJOO when we wore sorved by mule teams Instead of mo guls. In the matter of getting returns. Tho new tmnsccmtlnentnls, blggor, faster locomotives, liner passenger equipment, Improved roadbed s everything that spells progress In transportation, means miracles In the upbuilding ot the modern west. It's because all this Is haunonlng so quickly that the country Is now com ing into ner own ns never before It's being discovered." Nor Is there the slightest doubt that shortly most of thp. railroads of the West, whore legions of potential waterpower aro wasting away to tho sen unused, will glean their motive power from the Btreams along their economic standpoint. Whoro the terminal of those roads Is today a fow years ngo there was nn unpopu lated waste. The greatest power pro ducing stream In tho Northwest Idled past, totally undeveloped. Tho lar gest body of western whlto plno In the world extended to tho south ami west, undisturbed, Knouch farm land to build n metropolis lay unpro ductive. And now? Well, the ter minus Is a city a real sure-enough city, growing like n rolling snowball. The stream Is harnessed. Hundreds of cnrloads of lumber and byproducts arc shipped from the mills. The sngo briiBh ranges are transforming Into grain fields, and the magic hand of irrigation is causing scores of blndes of grass to grow where none grew before. It Is n typical new city, nnd there fore worth consideration. There are Jpt. Lytic acre 35. W. II, Speck to same, Its. 19-20, uiK. b, Kenwood. C. A. Urosterhous to Katie J.

This new epoch, now of tho Population Increaso Inevitable dawning, marks another stupendous stride In western development, for It spells unparalleled olllcloncy nnd economy In transportation which In throughout the West "Ho American First," Is every bit as good a slogan ns "Seo America First," declare the men who nro mnk turn mean vastly enlarged and Im-jhiK lll WcBt todny.

True enough, It Isn't n got-rlch-qulck country. Not by any means, Success depends upon tho individual, just ns It nlways docs. The old, old four-lettered word w-o-r-k Is tho key to prosperity In tho modern West, ns It Is most everywhere else. Hut somehow In tho sunset country It's n trlflo enslor to pick tho lock of Damo Fortune's trcasuro house, he- causo thcro aro fewer folks' on the Job and better tools to work with. The good old dnys In the West nro Just ns cood as thoy over wore. In fact, they nro better. Tho wild nnd wooly trimmings of nuld lung syno havo disappeared except upon the moving picture screen, and with them to a great degree, have gono tho bonanza features of tho fifties In Cal ifornia nnd the seventies In the Northwest. Hut whoever entertains tho notion thnt tho red blood has eb bed from tho veins of tho Wostlnnd, nnd thnt Its opportunities nro less numerous nnd less, potential than of yore, should shako tho cobwebs irom his brnln, cast off his blue spectacles and essay a continental trip. See ing, ho will hollovo. A very fow years ago there was In Central Oregon, for instance, the lar gest nron In tho United States with out n railroad. Most of New Knghi".d could hnvo been dropped Into It without making a ripple. It was a great big bottled empire. For nil tho good It wus doing ltrclf nnd the rest of the country It might as well havo licqn In Thibet Industrially It was stagnant. Then the rrllroads camo. Tho two greatest systems in the West raced each up a hundred mllo long canyon which opened tho way to the hinterland. Af o- twen ty years of very watchful waiting they throw twonty million dollars in to tho fight In loss than two years. And nt tho end of tho twonty four nionlis thoy hnd two first class rail roads built Into tho heart ot that ne glected land. Picturesque? It was Indeed! That road building eplsodo goes down in history ns tho merriest bit of spec tacular constructive railroading rec orded In all tho rich annals ot the Drofesslon. And that was only five years agol Also It was Instructive from an It Is to spend some of our Yankees dollars, whether we can sparo fow or many, out Into tho big growing Wostlnnd whero dollars do double duty and by the samo token bring double return. They nrgue that al though wo moy tut be able to follow Horace Greeley's advice and grow up with tho west country, wo can nt least Investigate the feasibility of sending our currency westerly to do tho growing. "When nil Is said," romarked my friends the railroad president, ns tho through car reached tldowater on Puget Sound, "thrift Is tho kcynoto of success thrift coupled with null Ity to utilize tho fruits of thrift InoBa. It's Investing which counts qulto as much as saving. To mv mind Invest ments In land nro tho soundest In tho world, nnd tho most profltnblc If thoy nro In growing communities, And when It conies to growth ..." ho smiled ns ho thought of his own two thousand miles ot rond which began from nothing nt nil but tho determination of n young mnn who believed ho could see nhend . . .

The past eighteen months have taught us here in America what lack of industrial preparedness hns meant to some of the countries now at war.
