LOOK AHEAD
1,(Miking ba'kwitrd is all tight
fo the man who is gathering
statistics or writing a history,
but for the man in business and
the man looking for a place to
invest his money to the best ad-
vantage, lookin g ahead is the
on ly process of investigation
that will b ring meat to cam p.
Nyssa has many bright pros
pects to look forward to, and the
investor who wants to see his
m oney grow — who wants to get
quick uction— will do him self a
favor by taking a look at the
good things that are loom in g up,
that are right now coin in g in
reaching distance of the people
of Nyssa.
That w hich makes a town a
a desirable place in w hich to do
business, is plenty of m oney in
circu la tion ; m oney received by
laborers, m oney received by
farmers for produce and the sale
of lands, m oney com in g in from
the outside, any old way, so it is
legitimate.
Take a look at what is show
ing up in the way of outside

work, which is now under way;
there will be 9(150,000 paid in
wages alone, between this city
and H om edale this year. W ith
in the next few weeks the farm
ers along this same route will
receive in cash from the Short
Line, for right of way lands,
over $40,000. W ith in the next
few m onths the K ingm an tract
pum pin g plant, near Nyssa, will
be under construction, at an ex
pense of $80,000, the actual co n
struction of the plant alone
costing 901,000.
The Nyssa
inter-state bridge will be built
within ninety days, at a cost of
$30,000, and the man who is on
the ground ready to d o business
will get his share of this big, fat
9800,000.
T h is is only a part of the good
things that are com in g up. We
have m entioned only that w hich
is how contracted, and under
actual construction, the money
from w hich is now com in g iu lo
circulation. T h ere are numer-
our other enterprises under way
that will be even better produc

of all parties, who had looked
to them, and especially to Senator
La Follette,
to head a movement
in which all opponents of monop
oly could meet oil common ground.
Although the president's reci
procity program promises but
small and insufficient relief from
tiiritr ex actions, and although its
errors of omission are glaring and
exasperating and clearly made in
the interest of oppressive trusts,
still its adoption seemed hitherto
to be about as much as could be
obtained during the present ad
ministration. The opposition of
LaFollette and other sincere pro
gressives looked very much like a
walk into a trap which the presi
dent had set for them. Those
who had grown to be admirers of
them were pained and shocked.
But now they have done much
to redeem th etnselves. If they
succeed in forcing on President
Taft the choice of signing meas
ures giving real and immediate
relief from the trusts, whose inter
ests he handled so carefully
while framing the reciprocity
treaty, or of taking on himself
the responsibility of defeating his
own program, they will have per
formed tt service of great value.
