go West, young man." was Horace

which has provoked O great many
jokes. Tho West thirty years ago
meant Indiana aud Illinois. Later
still it meant Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota. The time is near at hand
when these will be called Middle States.
The great empire Of national wealth.

or will be in the new Northwest, or
that part OF the country between the
Missouri river and the Pacific Ocean
a territory which has been opened up
10 settlement within the last twenty
eight years. In all this vast territory
there are but ak States and six organ
lied Territories. There may be 6,000,-
600 OF people, including Indians, in
this territory, which, to-day is capable
Of sustaining more people than there
are in tho whole Union. Fifty mil
lions Of people would not wholly occu-
py this country, leaving Alaska out of
the estimate. Taking the States and
Territories usually included as Pacific

mates the area Of wheat land as fol-

The industrial production annually
is not less than $500, ,009,0 900. about
one-third Of which, as we have seen,
represents gold and silver. And this
vast development of wealth is accom-
plished by O population not exceeding
100000. And yet only few Of the
mines are open at all; q small area Of
the tillable land is under cultivation.
OF the extreme Northwest including
Alaska, We know very little save that it
is rich in minerals. and its vast forests
are yet almost untouched. We have
about 800, 900, 900 of banking capital
in the single State of California and
enough outside for oil the business
wants OF the country.
III the Pacific coast with its mere
handful of inhabitants is producing
now at the rate Of $500, 600, 900 year,
what will il produce when there are
1000, 900 Of people in the same terri
tory? The fact is the new Northwest
contains natural wealth beyond all pre-
4 sent estimate; sstb We hsye Sply bi9t ef
600. In view OF these facts, we cannot
find the place to laugh at Greeley's ad-
vice TO go West. IL is the right place
to-day for a million of strong men.
They will come into this vast outlying
territory because it is by far the best
place for them. The chances are bet
ter for men without capital than any
where else in the country. or course
capital is great lever in n new coun-
try, but il is created here by industry
more rapidly than anywhere else. We
cannot speak infinitely of the resources
OF q country, q part OF which is unex'
plored to-day; but we know that there
is room in this territory for more than
90, ,0O0, 900 Of people where now there
are less than 2, 900, ,000.--LSan Francis

perhaps, most trustworthy estimate,
that OF Drs. Bchur and Wagner, plac-

closely will be apparent when ID is re-
membered that only in comparative
ly small part Of the world have careful
censuses. or. indeed, censuses OF any

enumeration OF the inhabitants OF In-
