G overnor P atterso n , in his a«i- U .ss at Chicago last S ttu rd a y , ■ aid iu p art: “Consider the out- Blinding advantages Oregon has to o l e r the prospective settler. We h iv e the finest tim ber in the in lion. We have, in abundance, the w iter power which the industry of t .morrow wjll dem and Our m in ­ eral resources are p ractically un- t -uched. Of eighteen m illion po­ ten tial acree of farm land, less t ian five m illion are under in te n ­ sive cultivation. We have a beau­ tiful country, an exceptionally pleasan t clim ate, and a land of unsurpassed fertility, with all the rn iUiplied resources through which great com m onw ealths are built up. O pportunity still wails at the end of the Oregon T rail for those who feel the urge which has ever im- le lle d th e hardy, the resourceful, a n l the am bitious, to push on into the W est.’’ In a recent issue of his syndicat ed colum n, “ Today,’’ A rth u r Brit- b me refutes George Bernard Shaw, the English socialist, when he says th a t accum ulated money ia the root of all evil. B risbane replied th a t it is ac­ cum ulated money th a t has harness­ ed Niagara Falls, built the P a n a ­ ma Canal, and has placed autom o­ bile production on a q u antity basis th a t has given the A m eiiosn people 24,000,000 inexpensive motor cars. G reat accum ulations of cap ital, like g reat accum ulations of water going downhill, represeut power. E lim inate accum ulated capital and you would elim in ate possibilities of higher civilization. He says the people have brains enough to watch and control ac­ cum ulated capital and take ad v a n t­ age of the benefits conferred by it, quoting these figures to prove that the country is prosperous; In May, corporations in which millions of employes are stockholders, declared dividends of $8 17 900,405, and in Ju n e dividends will total »500,(XX\ 0J0.

University Illinois !■■■■! ■■■■■■ ____________________ I ■■■...— ■ I ItE H K M H E lt when the Oral piano ■ seal buggy came Into our neigh­ borhood. It was something classy, and the boy that bad it was the envy of Hie community. It wasn't every­ one who could afford a buggy, and we who bad been contented to take our sweethearts to singing school and ex­ hibitions and the Fourth of July cel­ ebration in a farm wagon were of the opinion that bugglea would never become common. They cost too much io the first place, and then after you got one It required a good deal of care to keep it in shape, and a weath­ er proof shed to keep it In, but It wasn't five years until buggies were us common as motor cars are today Xo respectable gallant In my commu nily was without a buggy o f his own —and a buggy whip w ith a brlght-col ored ribbon on It. The bicycle came along next, and at first, o f course, only the affluent and the sportsmen could hope to pos scss one. I f you "remember way buck" you w ill recall that the first bicycles were way up I d the air. and It was like fu llin g out of the third story window to be thrown from one, but they lowered them presently. I paid one hundred and fifty dollars for my first one, and then they hegaD to tumble In price, and everybody in town, from children In the first grade to the Baptist m inister, who wore a silk tie as he rode about among Ills parishioners, bestrode a bicycle. Ev cry tyro bud made a "century." which meant he had ridden a hundred miles or more in a day, and which, broadly speaking was equivalent at the pres eat day of making a bolt In one or at least two. I When B illy Slmpaon brought the first "horteleas carriage" to town, the college student« used to cut clasaea and stand on the sidewalk In open- mouthed amazement to see him go by. Nothing In the way of transportation that we bad seen could come w lth lo a thousand miles of I t Why, the pesky thing could go fifteen miles an boor, if It could go one. I t v a t a good while before anyone else In town es­ sayed to duplicate B illy's venlure. I'he machine would never be very practical, we all prophesied, nor very common. I saw In the city papers the day a ft­ er Labor day that h a lf a m illion cars passed along Michigan aveDue during twenty four hours, and at many points tiling thoroughfares five thousand cars passed every hour. Everyone now. from the office boy to the president, has his own car. Tliey have begun the manufacture of airplanes near the town where I used to live. "For the common trade," the advertisement says. Only the best materials w ill be used, the most expert workmen only w ill be em­ ployed. and the latest and most sclen- tific models w ill be followed Prices w ill be reasonable and quite w ithin the reach of people of moderate means. It isn't a long time since I saw the first wonderful flight at our county fa ir, and I suppose before we ran more than turn around we shall Hud every man w ith his owu uirplune. Well, the world moves. FISHER BODIES W ith railroads and other in ter­ ests exploiting the advantages of this state as a place for combined sum m er school study and outing.
