area of less than 10,000,000 acres of much poorer land Denmark 

 has built up one of the most prosperous nations in the world, with 

 a population four times as great as we now have in Oregon. 

 But the reader who has weighed the facts of the preceding chapters, 

 will have been convinced that Oregon is capable of supporting ten 

 times its present population, without at all crowding its splendid 

 natural resources. 



Possessing one-fifth of the standing timber of the United States, 

 with fisheries returning over $6,000,000 last year, with mineral 

 resources of undoubted value though largely unexplored, and having 

 streams with 3,300,000 electrical horse power waiting to be harnessed, 

 surely Oregon's agriculture ought to be well supported by other 

 industries giving encouragement to the fullest utilization of her 

 agricultural resources by markets right at home.
