Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine.

Porflrio Diaz. SIX times president Ct
Mexico. will pass into history as a great
statesman. He is tho man who laid tho
foundation Ct all the rcpablic's future
glory, whatever it may be, and Mexico
is rising rapidly in commercial power
and political influence.
1t is particularly satisfactory under
the circumstance that there is so per-
fectly friendly an understanding be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
Diaz strongly approves the Monroe doc
trine and wants every Latin American
republic to formally give assent to it.
II in the future we should need u faith
full ally and IL strong one in the enforce
ment Of the doctrine that no European
power shall ever gain a foot more Of
land on this continent, we may safely
count ON Mexico. Diaz believes it to be
important that every one of the Central
and South American republics shall
make "A declaration of adherence to the
Monroe idea, which Shall thus become
a solid American idea He says in his
latest message:
We do not understand it to be sufficient for
the objcet to which we aspire that only upon
tho United States, in spite of their Immense
resources, is the obligation IN to aid
the other republics of this hemisphere against
attacks of Europe, II even these can be consid-
cred. Possibly each one of said republics, by
means OF u declaration similar to that Of Pres
ident Monroe, should proclaim that any at
tempt of a foreign power to reduce the terri
tory or the independence or to change the in
stitutions of n single one of the American re-
publics should be considered as n personal az.
front IL the republic sustaining an attack or
throat OF this nature should appeal for aid, In
this way the doctrine today called the Monroe
would be the American doctrine in the most
ample sense, and, although 1t originated in the
United StatCs, it should he among the interna,
tionul rights of all Americans.

The recent agitation for the preserva-
tions of the Poe cottage at Fordham.
N. Y, brings up anew the fact that
1909 was a great year for the birth Of
persons who became famous. They were
in all lines Of life except the military.
These famous people were Lincoln,
Gladstone. Tennyson, Mrs. Browning,
Dickens, Darwin, Oliver Wendell
Holmes and the composer Chopin. Pee
and Chopin were not only born the
same year, but they died the same year
and month, in October, 1919.

these different minerals will be eX-

sections where they are found.
FISHERIES.
The fishing industries are the larg-
est in the world, embracing fully eight
thousand miles of sea coast in addition
to inland seas, innumerable lakes, and
numerous rivers. They are mainly
centered in British Columbia, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where
seventy-eight millions of capital are
employed and $19O00,O00 worth of the
product Is sold annually on the Domin-
ion markets aside from home use,
which amounts to $13,000.000 more. The
industry will be seriously affected In
British Columbia, which alone yields
three to four millions dollars profit un-
less the United States and Great Brit
ain can agree upon measures for the
protection of the seal. The rivers of
British Columbia literally swarm with
salmon and the sea fisheries are well
nigh inexhaustible, fact attributable
to the fishes food supply being brought
down by the Arctic currents from the
northern seas and rivers. This con-
sists of living slime formed Of myriads
of minute creatures which swarm in
the Arctic seas and are deposited IN
vast and ever-renewed quantities upon
the fishing grounds-a feature especial
ly noticeable on our Alaskan trip.
CANADIAN FORESTS.
But no product of the Dominion ap-
proaches the forests (Which are rich
with every variety of trees) as
source of value of the exports, or $780,
600 900 out of $97000,O0O These prod
ucts go mainly to fireat Britain ana
the United States, though some go To
South America and the West Indies.
The Canadian saw-mills are among the
most extensive and best appointed IN
the world 1t excites the wonder OF
strangers to see log taken out OF
the water by an automatic process,
placed in position under the saws ana
reduced to inch boards in few Sec
onds. Think of it, A giant pine that
REQUIRED more than century Tor It's
growth reduced in a few seconds for
the use of man.
The Province of British Columbia Is
densely wooded with fir, cedar and
hemlock trees, ETC., often reaching SoC
feet in height and square forty-hve
inches for length of ninety feet. Red
cedars are often 200 feet high and q
feet in diameter. A more extended
account of other vast resources of the
Dominion will appear as we traverse

With this introduction we commence

Written for The Tribune.
Here commences another chapter Of
our Wonderland story of travel across
the great American continent. man
OF wisdom has said "know thyself."
A less wise man may with propriety
add the maxim, "know thy country"
"My country. tits of thee 1 sing,
Sweet land of Liberty"
We have sung the praises Of our
country in a series of forty-three let
tiers of travel over the Northern Pacific
railway, Yellowstone Park and Alaska.
We now propose to cross the boundary
line into the Queens Dominion and tell
OF the wonderful scenery and marvel
Gus resources we found on a tour over
the Canadian Pacific railway. So much
OF interest is found that the Wri-
ter feels somewhat embarrassed in the
choice of material for even a brief
sketch of the prominent features Of
this confederation of provinces. 1t Is
not the writer's intention to weave a
romance, but to narrate the truth as
seen with American eyes. In our limit
ed time and space we can only give
Few of the many facts that appear on
the surface and describe but few
glimpses of the marvellous scenic
beauty and grandeur found along the
line of this great transcontinental rail-
way. where nature truly has bestowed
with lavish and prodigal hand her
choicest gems.
Here It Is the eye turns from one
grand scene but to find another even
more enchanting. The historic and
scenic beauties and charms are not
concentrated at few points and places
but extend largely throughout the en-
tire Dominion from the scenic Selkirks
to the noble coast scenery OF the Mari
time Provinces: ana the American tour
ist accustomed to the cities and rural
communities of the Republic, finds
here a peculiar people with peculiar
manners and customs. In the cities and
English settlements are the quantity
Anglicans who follow London as
closely as possible in all matters of
costume. idiom and social manners;
and there are extensive districts in.
habited by Scottish Highlanders, and
others by French Inhabitants, all pre-
serving their natural languages, cos
tunes and amusements unaffected by
the presence of British influence and
power. All these phases of provincial
