They hear about out wonderful climate and iho hon- piUble people, which alone is e nough to bring ilia sturdy east cm peoplo t j ourcountry. WHY THEN NOT TKY TO INDUCE THEM TO COME AND LIVE AMONG US? A representative of one of our western chambers of commerce give a series of lectures on thi ountry a;i 1 illustrated them by moving pictures, in one of the principle ea-stei n cities, and tht audiouovM he drew were aim is! e jj.d t til.; mtendanco of a cir v.,hi hell by ll.irr.um & Itailey. S anxious are they to secure re liable informatim aboit thi wrtnderful we.it. that they will l're.t ) m my lhiu,rs to talk with a p.rsm who has isited it.

Hc.se kind of sett It rs, while they art t. bj coram Titled, nnd have mail! the tin st kind of citizens, and eventual ,y become wtiHo d . were ha idiciipped, and in tin n handiea ped the commun ity in whfah i lie lived, for a lew yiars. If these same people c nild ha ?e ci nu here with con h'dcrable money, they would, with tlu same application anu push they applied when poor, they would have made three limes the amount they have ac cumulated. To this extent they have been tl.o losers. But what lo v e find the con ditions in tre east' to be? Name ly, thousands of families who are the owrers of a fine IGO-acre ranch for w hich they could se cure all the way from $75 to $150 per ai re. Tneso same fam ilies consist of grown up .sons and daughters who are anxious t) get a scart on a farm. But can they do it? Most assuredly not in the east, for tho reason that the old homestend in their locality if sold would not bring e nough to start three sons prop erly there. The result is that they are looking for .cheapet farm lands. Lands that are sel ling from $15 to $33 per acre, improved, and in order to find it thc-y must come west; hencp. the kerfrt desire for, information a bout a fcountry in which they ex pect to locate and 'eventually raise"'fnmi!ie3. They are cle'r.n young wen'; and. vyoir.cn who pme out heier w'ith'enough cash lt6 make a good substantialpayi fnent on a ranchi and then work the game so that Jt ,will bring enough revenue to pay for itself. Mark (Bud) Enyart died sud lenly at Wirdock ThursJay morning, Jan. 13, l'JIO, of para lysis. He was a son of IVlcr tfnyart and a brother of Mrs. Anthony of Fossil, and was about 10 years of aire. He leaves a wife and a number of children jesides a fatKcr, brother and jeveral sisters to mourn his loss. Hud. a he wasVennrally call ed, lived most of his life on a ranch on Hutle Creek, in Fossil precinct, but has been living the .iist year or two in the Winlock .neighborhood. He wus well tnown throughout the country, laving hauled freight for years or Fauil, Spray, and Mitchell nerchants. The bereft relatives lave the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Fossil Jour nal. fhese are the kind of people who nake good and Kuoccnaful corn nunities and most excellent loighbors. We are informed that the Portland Comnu-rc'al Club is ex pending $200 a day to tell these .wiple about Oregon. Then, as i b siiies.-i proposition, are these ;ern and bright intellects in that :.ty casting their bread of $200 i day upon the waters never to iv turn ag in, or t.r? they going o bo paid three fold by living it P'.--.n, I Wt'll liUtttTlll .'

It is not good jusiness policy to kt your next lo.ir CMnpetitor make a move to ret the bulk of trade when you tan secure your share by adupt ng a polity which will bring it :o you. Neither is a community jetting what justly belongs to it when it does not do tin things that will make it prosper beyond the most sanguine expectations of men. What would you, ns men living in, an enlightened country, think fter knowing what it requires to defeat a common enemy on the high seas, if you learned that the United States had sold all her modern battlesh'ps and cruisers and epeet.cd to fight her naval battles with old worn out cruisers igainst a modern navy like that possessed by England. Do you think we would get such vietor- es as are due us as Americans? Most assusedly not. Still this is the very thing that is being dene in Cfii'iam county. We are' ex pectin; to do wonders in our old fashioned way of developing a good country with the same force md effect that would apply if a foreign fleet would declare war against us and we hud nothing but a fleet of old washtub battle ships to battle with a modern and up-to-date navy. We used to thresh grain in the early days wiih flails; we used to cut our grain and hay with scy thes, but what would you think if a rancher would do the same today in Gilliam county? The law of least resistance may be the easiest path to follow, but if 'you do, you must take what the fellow; abend of you has Uft behind the crumbs. i '.
