every effort to stop the car then, but
was too close to prevent striking her"

AS s fol. dyse1f fail$to
see the reasonFfor1 such Z p colossal
outlay. OF course a decent COM
memoration of events which led up
to the addition Of this vast north
west territory to the I United States
is all right. but $500, 900, is too
much. One fifth 9of the, amount
ought to suffice. About the
only, reason that I have heard given
in support of the fair, is that it will
boom the. country, attract people
here by the thousand, raise land
and all other values. Now then,
if everybody wants to sell out, this
would be alright, but I don't think
we all want to sell, and as for at
tracing people here, I ask if they
are not already coming fast enough
and will not the question soon be
what to do with all the i'm
migration instead of wanting more.
1t was Rev. I. D. Driver who made
the prediction that the time would
come when we would see the lar
gest cities in the world somewhere
on this northwest coast, and that in
order to buy piece of land you
would have to cover it with silver
dollars. I will not take the space
to give his reasons but it is being
fulfilled, people cant eat gold and
silver but they can raise from
mother earth that which will sup
port life IF I get chance to do
so I shall sign the petition to have
the law referred, not because W ant
to retaliate on Portland because
they did not support the corpora
ton tax law, but because I think
The amount extravagant, and out of
to the resources of an
already overtaxed people.
I should like to see a display
oeftting the time and the occasion,
out colossal buildings at great ex-
oense to afterward be a dead loss
or furnish a chance for those look
ng out for gratis is not what the
taxpayers want to see.
