THE OREGONIAN'S FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
IX COALAIKMORATrON of its fiftioth anniversary as a
daily newspaper, the Portland Oregonian on February
issued an elaborate edition, comprising a resume of the
progress of Portland and Oregon, the resources and devel
opment of the state, replete with illustrations, making it
valuable as advertising literature.
By far the most interesting section is that devoted to
the Oregonian's own history, telling of the first issue of
the daily, when Portland had but 15000 inhabitants, its
early struggles and accomplishments in the half century
since. Through all the long period, the paper has been
under the management of II. W. Pittock, and the paper is
the monument of his life work, and a fine monument in
deed. When the first Oregonian appeared, Oregon was but a
sparsely settled country. Port Sumpter had still to be fired
upon. Indians still roamed along the Rogue. The newspa
per's history is so interwoven with the history of the state
that they arc almost inseparable, for during all the long
period since 'OL the Oregonian has ever been an important
factor in the social, political and industrial life of the state
and its upbuilding probably the most important factor
and the completion of its fiftieth year finds it the greatest
journal in the northwest, ranking among the first in the
nation.
The Oregonian is to be congratulated, not only upon its
anniversary number, but upon its record of accomplishment.
PLANT THE SHADE TREES NOW.
N'
OYV is the time to plant
add so much to the beauty ol the city and the value
of its residence property.
There is no longer the excuse of an insufficient water
supply to care for the young trees during the summer dry
ness. There is no longer the excuse of ungraded streets,
and at least ten miles of paved thoroughfares arc in shape
for shade trees along the curbs.
Plant now and do your share in improving your street.
A while later, and the planting season will have passed.
INCREASED FIRE FIGHTING EFFICIENCY.
GROWTH' and expansion of the city compels a constant
increase in the operating expenses of the munici
pality. Methods must change to meet changed conditions.
What answered for the village no longer fills the bill for
the thriving .young city.
The municipality's plight is similar to that of the
business houses. .livery firm has had to enlarge and ex
pand, to double its slock and investment to handle the in
creased business or lose it.
Latest of the problems to demand municipal attention
is the demand of the fire department for increased and
more modern equipment for fighting fire. iMedford has
been lucky" in having had no disastrous fires, and the sur
est preventative is to be read' to handle the blaze when
it conies.
The doom of the fire horse has been sounded through
out the country. The auto fire truck has come to stay.
Speed, the greatest requisite, is secured.' Ouelty to ani
mals is eliminated. In almost every wav the efficiencv of
the service will be enhanced. Many are the arguments
advanced in favor of I he proposed change, and the new
council has a new problem to. tackle, which it will probably
solve in a satisfactory manner.
SALEM'S IMPURE WATER.
SALKM does nol deserve to be the capital of Oregon.
Any city too unprogressive to supply inhabitant
with pure water ought to lose the prestige of being a cap
ital city.
livery session of the legislature sees many legislators
and visitors made ill by drinking foul water and yet noth
ing is done to remedy the situation.
Salem has played the hog for many years, wanting all
(he taxpayers' money spent there and opposing any ex
penditure elsewhere. Now it is seeking the assistance of
the state to construct a water system another instance
of the hog.
Medford, with less than f)000 people at the time, spent
half a million dollars for a water system. Salem, with
three times that number of inhabitants, with all the pat
ronage and influence of state institutions, hasn't enter
prise sufficient to supply its greatest need.
The capital should be moved to Portland, where pure
water can be obtained and legislators not have to risk their
health and lives.
