This Is in Good Spirit.

The Oregonian recently published a
letter in advocacy OF the division Of
Oregon into two states the dividing line
to be the Cascade Mountains. it is
true that Eastern Oregon pays many
taxes to support state institutions in
Western Oregon and that the capital is
perhaps too far from most of the people
who reside east Of the Cascades, but the
Journal thinks state division may nof
come for many years, il ever. The busi-
ness, commercial and social interests OF
Of the people OF the whole OF Oregon are
pretty generally interviewer. There Is a
pride in common state history and 80
many interests are identical that the
people OF Eastsrn Oregon are scarcely
ready to set themselves off into an inland
commonwealth, giving up the seaboard
Of the Pacific to the people OF the fertile
Willamette, Rogue river and Umpqua
valleys. The continued advance Of
eastern Oregon will result in the proper
recognition by other people in our state
to the end that uniform progress may
be mede throughout this wonderful
state, whose diversified natural resources
are not surpassed in number, quantity
and quality by those Of any other state
