breakfast a reception was held In our
honor at the Chamber OF Commerce,
after which we took ride to their
great park, called Point Defiance park,
and had clam chowder and fish
dinner on the beach and spent the rest
of the day in the city.
That evening We started for home
the same way we came, but passing
through points by daylight which be-
fore we had passed in the night. We
Travelled east all day Sunday passing
through grand mountain scenery,
stopping in the evening at Albert
Canyon.
Just east of the station the train runs
suddenly along the very brink of sew
eral remarkably deep assures in the
solid rock, whose walls rise straight up,
hundreds of feet on both sides, to
wooded crags above which sharp, dis
tant peaks cut the sky. The most
striking of these canyons is the Albert,
where the river is seen nearly 800 feet
below the railway, compressed into
boiling fume scarcely 20 feet wide.
On Monday morning, August l, we
again stopped at Banff for breakfast
and visit of two hours. Pushing on
eastward we arrived at Calgary for
dinner and were sernaded by the
mounted police band and shook hands
with Lord Aberdeen, retiring Governor
General of Canada, and saw about 100
Indians of all ages and sex and condi
tions of life. After leaving Calgary We
made no stops to speak Of until we
reached Indian Head, run Of over
500 miles, arriving there at IL a. M,
August 2, where banquet is spread,
After few short speeches we were
driven over the government farm stu
ated on the north side of the railway,
and on the opposite side extensive
views over the Canadian Alliance farm
and the Sunbeam farm, these being
portions of Lord Brassey's colony.
We returned to Regina for another
banquet and some of the finest speech
es of the trip were exchanged. We
were treated to good music and lots of
it at this station and we enjoyed our
selves hugely. Regina's population is
1920. 1t is the capital of the North
west Territories, and the distributing
point for the country far north and
south.
The farming land all around the last
named towns is very productive and the
people are of the best. This point was
our last visit on Canadian soil, for we
steamed back to Pasqua, where we took
the 500 line for st. Paul, where we
arrived Wednesday evening, August 3.
We were met some 300 miles north of
St. Paul by representatives of the St.
Paul press who informed US that we had
to stop off there, but it was SO late
when we arrived that we only stopped
long enough to partake of an elegant
dinner, which was served at the Com
mercial club by the Press and Com
mercial clubs. Here the party started
to break up and continued to dwindle
until Waukesha was reached, which
ended the finest and mos instructive
trip ever taken by Wisconsin editors.

Pros eIity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good judgment make the foundation
upon which a man builds we'll. The
first start in life of many of our great
men has been upon farm. Oppnrtu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hardwood
farming lands in Northern Wisconsin
adjacent to the Wisconsin Central lines
are still to be had at very reasonable
rates and on easy terms. Build home
of your own and be happy.
THE WONDERFUL DEPOSITS
of iron ore, clay, kaolin and mari,
together with the large hardwood tim
Der tracts in Northern Wisconsin offer
extraordinary inducements for the loca-
ton of manufacturing plants. The
Wisconsin Central lines run through
some of the richest localities in the
state and afford the manufacturer eX-
cellent facilities for reaching the mar
ket quickly and at reasonable rates.

Coal in the Warrior,

Scarcely any industry In the United
States is expanding more rapidly than that
of coal mining. The consumption of Bit
luminous coal alone has been increased in a
single decade from 1o2, oS9, s3S tons to 147,-
7S9 1902 tons, which was last years consump-
ton. American coal has been shipped to
England, where 1t can be laid down at
$3.50 ton. while Cuba and all American
markets south of this country are receiv-
ing large shipments.
Much of the export trade in coal goes
from the mines of West Virginia. The pro-
duction of the Virginia mines is constantly
rising. It exceeded fourteen million tons
last year. and it will soon be twenty mil
lion tons. Alabama's modest production Of
six million tons does not shine alongside
the Virginia figures.
The truth is, the Alabama mines will
never be fully developed to the great ad-
vantage of the entire country until slack
water navigation is secured to the Kansas
City bridge. For the delay in this matter

Piu Irons Strong Position.

Exporters are taking, or rather wanting,
large quantities of iron, and the warrant
yards are daily drawn upon. This of itself
makes furnace managers very independent,
and very reluctant to accept orders for flu
ture delivery except at higher, or at least
at stiff, rates. All know that there Is a
growing deficiency in other countries that
must be met In the country that has the
cheapest COAL together with an abundant
supply of ore.
When the steel mill at Ensley is in oper-
alton, taking as 1t will at least one-quarter
of the entire production of the Birmingham
district-taling in union with the exporters
a full half Of the production-the domestic
market with its freight rates and restricted
figures, will not be controlling-will not,
indeed, have much to do with prices. Home
consumption of all sorts and export sales
will attend to that feature Of the business.
The furnaces must be increased In that
event If the old-time periods Of production
against domestic prices is to be inau-
gurated.
The independence of the furnaces, al
ready happily begun, means a great deal
to Birmingham. 1t means that every stack
can be crowded to its utmost capacity. with
no fear that production can outrun Euro
pean demands. 1t means that the bottom
prices for iron will never be touched again
unless cost of production be first materially
lowered-a task that seems at present i'm
probable. 1t means that the old dream of
contented people is beginning to material
ize

a delay that Pitssburg under similar cir
cumstances would not have brooked fve
years-we are all to blame. The entire
state is deeply interested In the full de-
veiopment of its centrally located mineral
wealth. 1t means more values for taxation
purposes, more consumers of agricultural
products. more activity of all sorts. and
more factories in every part of the state.
If the energies of the state could be COM
bined in one grand effort to secure the i'm
provement of the Warrior and 'Bigbee riv-
ers and of Mobile bay, it could be accom-
plished without much more delay. We need
congressional representatives who will keep
this great object in view and push 1t to
accomplishment, and behind them
should stand. firm and strong as a wall the
two million people of Alabama. We should
begin to be in earnest in this matter of
unlocking for export purposes the wealth
of the mineral district of the state. Con-
gress trnes with and delays the work be-
cause we as state trifle with it, and ac-
cept any old excuse for delays. This usage
of the state should be ended. We are well
entitled to the Improvement in question,
set at work in earnest to secure it,

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Please allow me space to correct an err
ror which appeared in your columns this
morning. In your correspondents report
under the heading of Legislature and Its
Work." signed by L. J. w, he says that
my hill is one that ought to be defeated,
and commenting on the same, he makes
some very misleading statements, which
proves conclusively that he has not read
the bill He says that sit seeks to prohibit
employment of children under IA years of
age, which is not true, the age limit
is made II years This bill also provides
that when the child or children are the
only support of a widowed mother or when
the father is unable owing to sickness or
other disability to earn a livelihood that
nothing in this act will prohibit them from
being employed. His comments, owing to
their misleading statements, are likely to
create wrong impression of my bill, and
a correction of them will be greatly appre-
ciated by yours truly, l.. c. JONES.

NOT WORSE THAN ILLINOIS
From the Boston Herald.


The men who have come up from South
Carolina to Washington to ask for executive
action against the lawlessness in that state
do not appear to have met with much en-
couragement at the white house. This
tests the policy of leaving the
south to manage its own affairs,
and 1t seems to establish that
policy in the nation. The president would
have been embarrassed to depart from it
in view of what has been recently seen
in Illinois. There the governor of that
state has been allowed to direct the shoot
ing down of black citizens of the nation
without interference from Washington.
The case in South Carolina has been hard
one, but it would be difficult to point out
where 1t is more flagrantly wrong than
that in Illons, and indeed, In itself it did
not SO strongly present an occurrence that
called for presidential interpositon.
