of the west, with the wool and wheat
region of the Inland Empire tributary
to it, has superior facilities for manu-
featuring industries. From different
sources it can utilize water power suf-
6cient to turn the wheels of many fac
tories, and the surrounding country is
adapted to the growth of raw mate
rial. These advantages have been
known for many years, and yet no
efforts have been made to utilize them.
The fact is apparent that without
industries there is no way of support
ing larger population than we now
have, and with factories The Dalles
would maintain ten times as many
people as it now does. An increase
of population means an increase Of
wealth, an appreciation of property
and large retail and Wholesale. trade.
Opportunities presented must be taken
advantage Of. and this can only be
done by the exercise of spirit of en-
terprise, which means energetic work
and expenditure of capital. If we
favor Yoolen mill or other industry
we must not remain idle when practi-
cal men knowing our facilities are
anxious to locate here.
