IRE GREAT NORTHWEST.
kts Remarkable Developments Shown by
Worlds Fair Exhibit.


The Transportation building mt the
Worlds Fair is the most interesting feature
of the great exposition to all persons inter.
ested In the development OF the Unlted
States II contains a complete exhibit OF
the latest railway appliances as well as Inv
quaint locomotive and stage coaches OF tns
past. The Northern Pacific railroad went
step further than other transportation cons
panies when it resolved TO show two elegant
cars, especially built for the purpose, con-
tanning samples OF products gathered from
the states OF Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington ana
Oregon. The company was, no donob
prompted TO make this display because the
completion OF its transcohtlnentai llns
made the development OF the states nance
possible. Had Il not been for the enter
prise and pluck Of the orignators and man
ayers of the Northern Pacific railroad,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington would still be frontier territories in.

the seven states are handsomely arranged
and include all kinds Of grams in the straw

ries; wild and cultivated grasses; ores.
woods, iron and coal; precious metals ano
stones; hops, tobacco and flax; flour, wool

fruits; vegetables, petried woods, fine
mineral specimens, etc, etc. In the season
of fresh apples, pears, plums, cherries.
peaches, prunes, grapes, berries, melons,
roots and garden vegetables will be brought
from the northwestern states, daily. for ex'
hibition. In short, the exhibit comprises
general collection of all kinds Of products

seven great northwestern states traversed
by the Northern Pacific railroad.
Visitors who intend to invest money 10
the northwest are reminded by attractive
placards that the company still retains con
troll of immense tracts of land in that terri
tory, the exact figures being as follows:
Minnesota, 1, 200, 900 acres; North Dakota,
$3.50, 900 acres; Montana, 17,300,O00 acres;
Idaho, 1,740, 900 acres Oregon, 3Oe, 600 acres;
and " ashington, S, 100, 000acres.
The two exhibit cars are marvels OF the
car builders art. They are vestibuled have
large bay windows reaching from floor to
roof; are decorated with ornamental woods
from the forests along the Northern Pa.
cific, and are In themselves an exhibit
worthy Of thoughtful inspection. The cars
are placed on one OF the tracks In the large
annex to the Transportation building.

THERE is much popular as well as
scientific interest in the second Arctic
journey upon which Lieut. Peary is
soon to start. The success of his first
expedition, after the encouragement
and even ridicule which it encountered,
augurs well for the attempt which he
will now make to map the northern
coast of Greenland, to explore the arch
'ipelago beyond, and, if the conditions
of the ice permits, to make dash
across the frozen sea toward the pole.

Gov. FIsHBAcK, of Arkansas, made
some surprising statements in his
speech at the dedication of the state
building at the Worlds fair. He said
Arkansas has a school to every SIS peo-
pie, church to every 1922, and, during
the past ten years, has built an average
of one of each every second day. He
asserted that Arkansas is educating a
larger percentage of its whites than
any of the New England states, and
that New York, Massachusetts, and
other eastern states are educating a
smaller percentage of their population
than the percentage Of Negroes whom
Arkansas is schooling.

members of the papal household and

Canada, cross Lake Huron and serve as
that lakes outlet The Mississippi
rises in Alaska, Lake Huron empties
into the st. Lawrence river, Lake

and Lake Erie is still further south.
No corrections are marked ON the map,

the French teacher thought 1t correct
or amusing.

FISH ALIVE.

The proposal which the Olympic Salt
Water Company suggests of esta blishing a
market where all the fish OF the bay and
ocean may be procured alive would, if car
ried well into effect. be a marked improve
meut on our present fish market exped-
ents. Near as San Francisco is to the
sources OF supply. the fish that reach table
In hotels, restaurants and private houses
are often not of prime quality In the great
desderatum OF freshness. Undenlably the
sooner fish is cooked after leaving the sea
tine more palatable Is its flesh and delicate
its flavor. Only the wing fins of the ray
improve with couple of days keeping. If
the fish which come to table in San Fran
cisco are improved by being handed o the
cook alive. how much more will the supply
which reaches interior towns be improved?
Water preservation in life is much superior
to algific treatment. From keeping fish
alive in tanks we may look forward 10
transportation in water cars and wagons.
and then the fishermen nav have an ex-
tended market reaching into interior rouu-
ties and other States.
But obviously the saltwater market will
not avail for fish hauled up in the trawl
net. bruised and almost lifeless. Ground
fish, unless caught by hook and perhaps by
drift nets, will come 10 market pretty much
as they do now. Nor will fish taken by
hook or net be available unless fi-hermen
have suitable boats with wells in them
open 10 the inflow of water. Such vessels
would have to he constructed specially for
the new development of trade. but 1t must
be said that they would not add greatly to
the cost of fishing. Many Of the fishing
schoOners OF the North Sea are thus pro
vided with wells. At Grimsby. on the
Humber. cod are kept alive in boxe, float
ing about in harbor, and when wanted are
taken out and knocked on the head. But
HOl and is the country par excellence
where fish are maintained in life until
wanted. Not that all fish are found in the
tanks OF the dealers. but eels and numerous
small species always are. The ees are
actually skinned alive, either by the re-
taller or the customer; and cod are crmped
or sliced in steaks alive. Cruelties of this
nature are passed over in silence when it is
question of obtaining fish in the freshest
condition possible

A GREAT RELIEF.

The arrival Of the steamer Sarnia at II al
flax, y. S., puts at rest the extreme anxiety
which has prevailed as to her fate and that
of the 700 passengers on board. In the wild
Atlantic weather, which has been the COM

became disabled by the shaft breaking, but
as In the case Of the Cunarder Umbria. the
crew were able to effect sufficient repairs to
enable the vessel to resume her voyage
under steam, The disaster is one of many
illustrations of the risks which large pas
senger steamers run from having one shaft
and propeller instead of two. The cost of
two Is considerably greater, but the safety
insured Is au indiSputable recommendation

owner and builder may Improve upon the
