The imputation of the cities, town and villages ol Oregon airireeatea 184.000. while, thinly spread over "4.000 aquare miles of territory, is found the other giving us a ru ral population of 2.4 to the souaie mile. Some Hople wonder why our cities and towns do not grow more rapidly. i he reason is explained in our shortage of rural population. They are the back bone ol any country, aou ao long aa me spinal column lack utrength, tbe whole body must necessarily be weak. wiser than Oregon. Washington was admitted a astute in ISM). ForlOyesrs preceding 181W the resources of the then territory were energetically advertised in all directions. As a rerult the popu- latiou jumi-ed from 75.000 in 1880 in to 349,000 in 18W, an increase of 3G5.1 per cent. Tho spirit o! prr cress, so well es tablished, has not yet did out in that state, for, from 18t to 1900 the popula tion increased from 349,000 to 518,000, placing Washington ahead of older and more resourceful Oregon. Washington is now more densely pop ulated than Oregon, baring 7.7 people to Oregon's 4.4 to the square mile. It is sometimes said that advertising a state increases tbe city faster than tbe rural population. The comparative (Inures for Washington and Oregon show that Washington's rural 'population is 3.7 to the squaw mile, Oregon's 2.4. California was admitted as a state in 1850. and though only nine years our se nior, since that date it bat grown from 02.000 to 1,485.000 in 10J0, having ao average population of 9 5 people to the squnra nine, us rural imputation uciug 4 oeoide to the sa'iare mile. ' Why have Washington and California outstripped us in the race? Itecause they liave let no opportunity slip by to ndveriitie th;r respective states. At the present tune we are confronted with a striking example of our woeful lack of enterprise in thin direction. Thousands of people ure pouring into the North west from the Kast. Nine-tenths of these ikjopI viiit Washington to tbe exclunion of Oregon. Some of our short sighted citizens lay the blame to the transcontinental lines. This is a mis take Washington enterprise alonoia rsionsihl. Oo to th other end of lltow liae! ilipre you wilWnd an abun dance of Washington literature, but yo will find little nutter descriptive of Ore En.

From Saturday's l'crlland Telegram. "(iregcii's Chief Need and How Best Supplied" is a problem too weighty to he handled comprehensively in a short, hastily prepared nrtin'o, tind too impor tant to bo neglected in any one detail. If what wo shall say, therefore, will help In lay n corner-stone in tho superstruc ture of ft greater nod nw.ro inlluenti.il Oregon, wo shall bo satisfied with the effort. Scanning the field of Oregon's neces sities, wo find them multitudinous, but, lying nt tho baso ol our requirements we find that more population is our .1 in.i'd nt 1 ho Present timo, dnd this wo shall discuss briefly as possibl-j. l..iiiliit.!oii is certainly the tree of our success, from which must grow every branch of development into tno power ful nnd commandiivj; commonwealth of Oregon. We must firot plant the seed to crow tho crop, and popiila ijn in tho sprout from which germinates all forms of industry. Having delined our "piua- mouat need," tho next question is "How best to mipply that need?" Tho lonrnalist who is not. ft firm be- Hover in tho virtue of judicious, con vincing advertising has no right in the urnfi'SHlon. and. sooner or Inter, Is crowded from tho field by bis more tm terprising competitor. What is true of thtt journalist is equally us truoof the Stato. Pre-eminently then, advertising thoroughly tho resources of Oregon far find wido is now, and will continue to ho, for a number of yours, tho best, surest nnd quickest mothod of building up our commonwealth.

What wo need to do is to tell the story of our wondrous glory to the ulorious outside world. W o cannot ait in these days of rapid progress to multiply ami replenish ucenrding to the old Jliblical injunction. We 'must in- rreaso b' the iiKslern method of extend ing a free welcome that will bring the thousands to us on the wings of rapid transportation. That free .welcome must. io extenueu tnrougn tno medium of abundant literature, liberally sown to tbe four winds. We Ehall 'suggest how best to do this. In the first place, tho State Legisla ture should provide a reasonable sum for ft number of yeats to bo placed in the bands of n Uor.rd oi Immigration, composed of responsible citi.ens, who will see to it mat mo money is econom ically expended in providing suitable descriptive literature for distribution. In th next place, every town of con sequence should have a Hoard of Trade, backed financially bv tho business men, who should willingly contribute their mite toward making known to the world tho many virtues of their respec tive localities as the proper place for the homeseeker to cast in hiu lot find bo come a part of us. in ndditton to mis, even county can afford to contribute ft nominal sum an nunllv toward advertising the natural resounoa of the countv. Then, turn tho lloodlide of literature loose beyond tho confines of our own borders," from whence, with the ebb, will conio to us mon of energy and ot wealth, men of brain nnd of brawn, w ill ing nnd nnxiousto join us in planting on tho Western battlement of our grand Republic ft Pacific empire commercially supremo, where neglected Holds will blossom nnd bloom with tho plory of progrosnivo agriculture; where villages will become towns, towns cities, ani! each city a metropolis; where unnunv bored ships, freighted with treasure from tho Orient, ivill enter our ports along tho golden pathway marked out by tho setting sun. Population ia what wo need most of all. Oregon became n iStato in 1359. For 4 years we bftvecnjjyed Statehood privil- eraturo within the reach of the Eastern-1 ers, our accessions from the ranks of! newcomers will bo pcrceptioly increased. Tho railroads are not u blame, they are common carriers, and take people to points named on tin ir tickets, And when people ' bay tickets they usually know whro they nro goinjr, but tliey rarely ever go where they are not in vited. Let ua wake up! If the pernio in tho East wanting homes telltis Washington h!is its Mount Rainier-Tacoma and California its Sasta and Mount Whitney, let us toll them t f our .Mount tiood, Mount Hamilton ami tho Three Sisters, tho while-robed graces, eternal monuments ot cuastity and purity keeping vigil over w ulametle Valley! If thev talk of Washington pino and California redwood, tell them of Oregon fir in countless millions of feet shading our uplands, waiting the axman's blow. If they sing the praises of Skagit nnd Sacramento Rivers, tell them of the grand old Columbia, Father of Western w liters, skirt with scenery rivaling os- eniite, and of his sister, the Willamette, that traverses the Garden boot of the west. If you henr of the "days of old and the dnvs ot cold," tell them of blue Kiver, Bohemia, Southern Oregon and Raker County mines, ns rich in gold as Klon dike and a hundred tunes more ueeessi bio. Sow broadcast over all toe land honest literature, nnd we shall reap in the harvest of population a name and lame mat uregon now has not. .More population means more cities and larger ones ; more farms nnd smaller ones ; mines developed ; mills and man u factories clotting the hind in every di rection ; commercial supremacy of tho Coast, and better recognition at the seat of government for old W ebfoot. After nil wo must come back to the old truism: that mon and women nre like water; they always find their true level. And where you livo happiest, that is your level. There's polluted water, nnd there's clear water. Uut one law is inexorable: the closer you get to Nature, the truest and simplest thing there is because it is closest to God, the clearer always will you find the wntor. April Ladies' Home Journal.
