THE MAN OF THE FAR WEST.
Is Making Immense Strides in the UpIands
and Adding Dignity to American Life.

Is Making Immense Strides in the UpIands
and Adding Dignity to American Life
Lippincott's Magazine
There was once a time, happily long
past, when the United States held only
men of the north and men of the south.
Now, as the country has developed on
broader lines, we have learned to thinK of
the men of the east, of the Mississippi
valley, of the Rocky mountains and of the
Pacific coast, at four great and characteristic
groups. East of the Alleghanies are the
oldest of the commonwealth; west of the
Sierras are chain of young states remark
able in contrast to the rest of the Union.
California, Oregon and Washington oc-
cupy the mountain-slopes and plain like
valleys of a more extensive region than the
whole Atlantic seaboard states, and here,
no less than in the Mississippi valley, the
American pioneer is establishing I'M
mensely prosperous and pc werful COM
munities, bound closely together by mum
cradle bonds of sympathy and interest.
Some one must rule, and in the end it
is the man. Since in the United States
process of union in great groups is stead
lily at work, producing types, all American,
and yet all enthusiastically different
from each other, the underlying problem
is, what sort of a man is the typical man
of the larger group? In the long run,
numbers count, of course, and the man of
that mighty west OF broad, defending
levels from Minnesota to Louisiana is
coming by swift steps to his dominion
But there is a man of the foothills, of the
uplands. of the champaign country, of the
mountain-valley and the high wilderness,
whose power on this continent, more slow
ly recognized, may some day come to mean
far more to civilization than that of any
other. Under certain conditions of ma
tional life the hope of the republic might
rest upon the men of the Alleghanies, the
Rockies, the Sierras, and cascades. Out of
their Businesses they might carry a new
gospel to the cities and the dead levels of
a WORKOUT, over-euE waited social order.
The miners camp, the settlers cabin, the
hillside orchard, the orange planted acre,
tie horticultural colony in some hidden,
semi-tropic valley of California each and
all strengthen the power of the great
group of states whose people are essential
ly men of the uplands, and add immeasnr-
ably to the breadth and dignity Of Ameri-
can life. California leads in the list of
mountain states, because it is the Oldest
such state west of the Mississippi, and, like
Washington and Oregon, it borders on
the Pacific ocean. That means less now
than it Will when the wealth of the Orient
comes to America instead of going to Eu-
rope, but the possession of a sea- coast
always means much, and the man of the
land west of the Sierras knows that he
holds one of the gateways into America

LIGHT AND SHADE.
L. j. r.

Idle fancies wove their charm around us
Doubt and errors subtle power has bound u.s.
Nights of vigil without pain and haste,
Wren the sunsets parting glories simmer,
And the dusky light grows dim and DINNER,
And the pale blue stars rise and g.immer
Over chaos of confused waste.
What shall be, and what is ever subsiding,
Space and concord are the bonds dividing,
Changeful as the sunsets feeting gold;
See the gateways open wide tomorrow.
Light and shade from fairer fields to borrow;
Never s7bdued and crushed by daunting sorrow
In its tullness all to have and hold.
Dreams? Our dreams are written fables
That is splendor of some old parable,
Dim in their seductive beauty lie.
Other eyes have scanned their written pages:
Other hands have clasped in long past ages;
Other hearts have joined their heritages
As securely, love, as you and l.
Nurtured like perpetual vestal fires,
Ransomed greatness dwelt in vast desires,
Beauties that in future gladness lie,
Void would be the world around without it:
Madness be the constant dream about it,
Give me faith that never more will doubt it,
Bud and bloom that never fade and die
