state an absence of conviction upon
matters of state or upon matters Of

independence means no more than
freedom. to throw Il lance in any

When the prospects OF town are
good, and the future seems an absolute
certainty; don't try to kill it. When
an investor seeks an investment in Il
small town he very naturally expects
to buy at prices that will insure II
reasonable margin on the investment,
but if the prices are as high rs in Il
large thriving town where there can
be no doubt as to the future values,
they do not invest. The same is true
OF the small home seekers who wants,
per chance few lots to make a small
home for himself and family, or per-
haps acre property, which upon inves-
tigation proves as high as the form sr
when they take into consi deraaion the
EXTREMITY high water rights that will
have to be purchased before they can
make use of it. Aud thus the investor
and home seeker become aware that
he is paying prices that are equal to
prices OF Seattle and Spokane suour-
ban property e very naturally doesn't
invest but goes elsewhere, and thus
we lose settler and investor. Now
this may be the proper way to build
up town, and lift continues we will
undoubtly have a town. But we will
have it all to ourselves, and then we
can turn our empty buildings into a
sanitarium, proceed, to plat the bal
ance of the town into a cemetery,and
silently progress. Which shall We
have gentlemen, the above mentioned,
or get down to business and let live
people come and live with US and
help us to make things move.

The idsa that the earth is fast be-
coming settled up and that there can
be no extension to its agricultural
area is true only in theoretical sense
The ability OF scientific agriculture
to enlarge its capacity has not yet
begun to come to Iealizat. on. When
it is realized that there are whole
empires of rich land only awaiting
the application of the water at hand
to make them break into bloom and
great productiveness, it can be seen
that instead of the worlds acreage
being incapable of expansion, the end
Of its expansion in productivity has
not yet come into sight.
