GREAT STORMS. = The great
storms of past times far exceed any
Of those of the present century.
The storm which occurred in England
November 26 and 81, 1903, was call
led the great storm, as it was one
Of the most terrible that ever ragged
there. The devastation on land was
immense aud on the coast, and in
the harbors the loss in shipping and
lives still greater. The loss in Lon
don was estimated at two million
pounds sterling Eight thousand
persons were thought to be drowned
in the foods on English rivers and
on the coast. Twelve men-of'war,
with more than eighteen hundred
men on board, we're lost within signt
of land. In the county of kent
seventeen thousand trees we're torn
up. Mullitudes Of cattle we're de-
stroyed; in one level which was
flooded, fifteen thousand sheep were
drowned. 1t was during this terrific
gale that the Eddystone lighthouse
was carried away, and its ingenious
inventor aud his associates persisted.

MORE STATEs.-It will not be
long before we will be called to .ad>
nit some more Territories as States
into the Union. Among others, Da-
kota will present fair claims for cons
sidcratiou. Villages and settlements
are being rapidly established there.
This past Summer some 5000 im-
migrants made their homes in that
Territory. The present population
is reckoned at 10000, and Al, 900
acres of land have been lately taken
up under the homestead and pre-.
emptiOn laws by actual settlers.

JOURNALISM IN THE UNITED
STATEs-"The 6rst attempt at
journalism 10 the United States was
made in Boston, 10 1890. 1t was
a small sheet Of four quarto pages,
one of them blank but only one
weekly edition of it was ever issued,
the Colonial Legislature having dis
covered in its columns, to use their
own language, reflections Of a very
high nature, and so its publication
was declared contrary to law, and
its existence snuffed out. The Neies
Letter was the next attempt, four
teen years afterward. 1t was a half
sheet, twelve inches BY eight with
two columns on each page. 1t was
issued weekly until the Year of the
Declaration Of Independence. Will,
liam Bradford started paper 10 the
latter part of 17I9, and two years
afterward, James Franklin, elder
brother Of Bcnjamie, started the NeW
England Courdnt in Boston. In
bis autobiography, Ben. Franklin
says he remembers some of the friends
of bis brother trying to dissuade him
from attempting the enterprise, for
the reason that there was already one
newspaper in America, and two would
be one too many. DR.. Franklin adds

there are not less than FIVE and

of the census in 1910, the number
of journals in the United States was
$50. of which 27 we're dailies. In
1880 the number estimated at 900
In 1910 it was 1,641. In 1850 it
was $500, with yearly circulation
of nearly 50O,000,0O0 copies. Now,
the daily, tri.weekly, semi. weekly,
weekly, monthly and quarterly pub
lications in the United States amount
to over 1000 with an estimated
annual circulation of 800,000,000

Space fails. | cannot stop to look be-
yond the Rocky mountains at Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Vancouver and
British Columbia. There they are, with
fertile valleys, timber clad mountains,
rich pasture lands, water falls, coal
mines, beds of iron, veins of gold and
silver, and climate as mild as that OF
Euglaud, fronting China and Japan.
Who can estimate the future of that
region ?"
After a quotation from the speech
of Wm. H. Seward at St. Paul 10
1860, predicting the Capitalization
of wealth and population in what
was then the Northwest, the letter
concludes: -p-,
Whether the future makes good the
prediction remains to be seen, but | am
sure that 20 thoughtful man can study
the physical geography of the country
its soil, climate aud capabilities-the
chain of lakes on the east, their con-
nectiou with the Pacific on the west,
the resources of the vast region, larger
than the area of our own country east
of the Mississippi, without feeling his
heart thrill at the opening prospect.
Turn the pages of history, examine the
records of all lands, and you will fnd
no correspondingly prospective view.

day, it is immensely mightier in the

A PEACEFUL END OF A TRoUB

A PEACEFUL END OF A 3hOOB>
LED LIFE.EWe notice in one Of our
exchanges tbe death Of a man at
Pitts6eld, Lorsin county, Ohio, on
the 2Sd Of October, whose name will
bring to the recollection Of many of
the older readers of the Journal the
circumstances of an excitement in
about the year 1889 which, fOr in-
tensity and wide spread prevalence,
has scarcely been exeelled.by any of
the thousand and one events that
have since absorbed the public att
teution for, the time being. The
body of q young girl BY the name
Of Sarah A. Cornell, Of Fall River,
Massachusetts,, was found BY the
side of a hay stack, in a field remote
from the highway, with the indica'
tions of great struggle and atrocious
murder upon and about it. A Meth
odist minister Of the place named
Ephraim K. Avery, was suspected,
arrested and tried, both in civil and
ecclesiastical Courts, as the author
of the atrocious homicide. Avery
was a very talented and popular
preacher, and the girl was a member
of his Church. Tho ecclesiastical
Court acquitted him, with full con-
victiou Of his innocence, and the
civil Court failed to make a case
against him and discharged him.
But that did not settle the question
of his innocence in the minds of a
great portion of the people there
about, and of the whole country, for
the excitement on the subject was
as intense in Ohio and other States
as in Massachusetts,. One>hslf of
the people believed him innocent aud
the other half were we'll pursuaded
of his guilt. Avery, after his ac-
quittal, resumed his occupation as a
preacher, aud lsbored in several To-
caliies, being settled for several
years at Richmond (Mass ;, and
other places in that neighborhood.
Hundreds for a while went great
distances to see and hear him but it
was evident that curiosity, more
than anything else, tended to swell
his audiences ; and he could not out
grow or outlive the suspicion that
existed against him. So he finally
retired from the ministry and re-
moved to q distant country, to seek
the quiet and freedom from annoy
aDce which he could not expect 10
Massachusetts,. For the last twenty
or thirty years Avery has led the life
of an industrious and quiet farmer
at Pitts6eld, Ohio, where h, died,
going to the grave with the respect
and regret of his neighbors and ac-
quaintances. His age at death was
seventy wears.

Think over the conditions-fertility
of soil, mildness of climate-and can
you see any reason why 10 the future
there may not be as dense population
iu the Northwest as in Northern and
Central Europe, on the same parallels
of latitude2 Look at the rivers and
the lakes-see how they are connected.
1t is pure water which flows through
them. The plains are not alkaline de-
serts, but bouudless savannas, fragrant
with flowers in spring time, and waving
with verdure in summer. Over all this
vast reach railroads may be constructs
ed as easily as in Illinois.

A View Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
rOad-Its Route, &c.


That the early completion Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad is a fixed
fact, has been conceded ever since
the elaborate and almost exhaustive
speech of Mr.. Window from Mime
sofa iu the lower House of Con.
gre,s, and the practical views Of the
Minority Report on the bill were
given to the public; and since then
personal reconnoissanecs have cons
mined the facts and furnished data
to strengthen the arguments set
forth in these documents. A cor
respondent who represented a lead>
Jog Boston paper and Boston capi-
tai iu the late reconnaissance of the
Eastern Division of the proposed
route, in a second lengthy letter,
says:
"Have set forth the attractions Of
the Northwest in too strong light?
Or is it that there is fever of unrest
in the community Letters pour iI up.
on me asking for more information, and
people solicit personal interviews.
One thing is clear, that the stte ntion Of
a large number of people is drawn to
ward the Northwest. rejoice 10 the
fact, for there, better than here, young
men of nerve, pluck and principle can
lay foundations for future prosperity.

You see that the boundary between
the United States and the British Pos
sessions is the 49th parallel. Now turn
to the map OF Europe. You see that
the same parallel runs near Paris, right
through that valley of the Rheims,
where the champagne grapes are grown.
The vineyards of the Rhine are north of
it. England, Scotland, Ireland, aud the
largest half OF Europe, all are further
north than the northern boundary Of
the United States. All the testimony
of those who live in Minnesota, as we'll
as those who have hunted buffalo on
the Saskatchewan or trapped beaver on
the Mackenzie river, shows that the
climate of the Northwest is essentially
that Of middle and Northern Europe.
If, in the Old World, such cities as
London, Paris, Dresden, Prague, Moss
COW, Stockholm and St. Petersburg can
rise north of the 49th parallel, why may
there not be great centers Of civilization
in the Nortbwest7 So far as climate is
concerned, what is there to binder?
