than we may think eastern oregon is
going to come into her own, assert
her manhood and play an important
part in the development of Oregon.
Often has she been discouraged, long
and patiently has she waited, but now
she has both the time and the op-
portunity. She now finds a ready
market for her grain, cattle, sheep,
lumber hay fruit and vegetables, in
the garden spots of the world, and it
is a fact that the farmer, sheep and
cattlemen and the lumbermen of east
ern Oregon are in more thrifty and
prosperous condition than ever be-
fore in their history. The dark
clouds which have long hung over the
."Inland empire" have been lifted and
the sun is shining bright, and there
is no section of the country in the
whole United States that has a grand
er or greater future than eastern
Oregon. She has the climate, the soil,
the resources and a vast area of un-
developed country, and her sagebrush
plains and bunchgrass hills are yield
ing bountiful harvests, and supplying
the necessaries and luXuries of life.
They are covered with modern and
beautiful homes, churcnes and school
houses, prosperous and growing cit
les, waving fields of hay and grain,
sheep and cattle on thousand hills,
and right here in Umatilla county
and through the long and persistent
efforts of her pioneers, the records
of the world have been broken in the
products of the soil, and the seeds
have been sown and the lessons have
been taught which have brought about
and will continue to bring about this
wonderful change.
From necessity and against adverse
conditions. she has had to depend
upon and develop her own resources,
but her crops have never failed and
her arid hills and plains have furnish
ed wheat for the FIGURING mills of
Portland, Salem, Corvallis and Eu-
gene, and her hooks and valleys pro.
duce the finest fruits and hay in the
world.
She has always literally and cheer
fully contributed her share of the ex-
penSe OF government yet She mas new
er had any capitol buildings, colleges
or universities maintained or sup
ported as state institutions, but mark
my word, with the railroads running
north and south and east and west on
her soil, with their laterals and feed
ers the time is soon coming when the
resources of eastern Oregon will be
| developed and she will be on the
the map.
On principle am opposed to a di'
vision of the state but there should
be a more just and equal relations ir

KANSAS SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Why Does 1t Decrease the States
Population Grows Largers

From the Minneapolis journal.
Nothing more important ever came out
of the state of big sunflowers than the
report of e. T. Fairchild, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, who has
found, he says, that with the population
greater by about two hundred thousand
than 20 years ago, the number of chill
dren attending the schools of Kansas has
decreased 10000. Where are the children?
Kansas, he says, had a population in
1883 of 1.51S,552, and at that time there
was a school population of $4,000. The
figures for 1909 show a total population
of 510,217, a decrease of q, 7S3.
Can this be race suicide? Until there
are further details at hand and oppor-
tunity to take into account possible
changes in the school system, in method
of accounting, or other factors that may
account for it in part, 1t may be we'll to
wait before pronouncing Kansas decad-
ent. Yet the figures are surprising.
Kansas has been land of big crops
and high prices, improvement work on
the farms, new building construction and
general acquisition of the piano, auto
mobile and the farm telephone. These
things have been heard of every year in
the tales of Kansas. Can it be that with
the increase of wealth. the change of
conditions which have brought affluence

A paper hanger Is man who promises
by all that he holds sacred to be at your
house Monday morning at s o'clock
and sends word on Wednesday afternoon
that he cannot come, until Friday.
He brings a bucket of paste and some
shears with dHjn1 and as soon as he sees
the paper you have bought he says it
will not do. He criticises your taste
and judgment and shows you why the
pattern is utterly unsuited to the room.
Until he convnces you that you must
send the paper back and purchase tina
proper supply from him. although you.
know very we'll that he gets a comnis-i
sion. Then he goes away to order the
paper and you continue to sleep on the
davenport until the following Tuesday.
You discover ere long that the laws of
paper hanging are as immutable as the
laws of the Modes and Persians, and
that no matter how you want the room
pspered you are absolutely mistaken.
If he weren't paper hanger he would
be a plumber. But after this you will
welcome the snail-lixe plumber gladly.
Gabriel will have to blow several en-,
cores before he gets the paper-hangine
brigade to resurrect.

to the farmers wife, the birth rate has
decreased as 1t has been found to de-
crease in the worlds history wherever
the people have grown in wealth and the
standard Of living, from the standpoint
of material comforts, has risen.
But meanwhile we would like to know
how it is that with 100000 more people
living in that state the superintendent of
public instruction finds the school pop
ulation so much smaller
Kansas comment, from one source, sayn
it is the fault of the bank account. Az
bank accounts that represent surplus
money increase, so the birth rate de-
creases. This, the Kansas comment
says, Is the reason The children have
not increased in the former proportion,
and the gains in population have been
made in greater degree in the past 20
years by new people coming into the
state than by the increase of population
on the part of the resident people.

few bidders for the tax receipts issued

were suspicious OF the ditch tax and a good
deal OF il failed to be sold.
Among the bidders few new faces were
