Tho Greatest Travellers.

The American people travel more
than any other people in the world
One reason is their energetic and pro-
gressive character as a nation and an
other the character of the travelling
facilities offered by our railroads. Con-
slant improvements have been made
in passenger accommodations by Amer
lean roads during the past decade
until to-day we have the Milwaukee's
celebrated Pioneer Limited, the only
perfect train in the world. This train
runs daily between the Twin Cities and
Chicago and is patronized by discrimi-
mating travellers. No American railroad
train is as well known the world over
as is the pioneer Limited"

nard the well-knoWn manufacturer of
beet sugar when interviewed regarding
the reported sale of the four factories of
which he is president, said:
THE sugar factories at Chino and OK

it was thought best to consolidate in one
company. of which I have been elected
president The new company has taken

companies has an interest in the new
corporation corresponding to his invest
ment.'

Opposition to Government Reservoirs.

One would suppose that a farmers
national congress would be held else
where than in Boston, but there it is
that one was held asst week. On mo-
tion of a delegate from Virginia, prob
ably one of the first families" who
does his farming by proxy, a resolution
was passed declaring that farmers and
land owners who depend on the rains
from above for the growth of crops pro-
test against any appropriation by con-
gress to be expended for the collection
and reservation or storage of water for
application to agricultural lands"
The spirit shown is certainly narrow,
and proves hat it's indorsers know the
west, with water, can take the lead in
agricultural products. There is a long
fight ahead, in the face of such opposi-
ton, before the government will be in
duced to spend money to make the mill
lions of acres it owns productive and
desirable for agricultural purposes.
Great sums Of money have been used on
eastern harbors and rivers to facilitate
exports of domestic products. The ex-
ports are mostly agricultural, and the
larger portion grown west of the Mis-
sissippi river. But when it m to tx
pending money for storage reservoirs in
order to make vast tracts available to
settlers, why, the eastern farmers do
not wish the government to indulge in
expansion Of that sort. 1t makes no diff
ference that the west has had to help
foot the bills for harbor improvements
in the east.
The time is certainly coming when
western senators and congressman will
be compelled to become obstructionists
and refuse to vote money for eastern
projects unless some of the public funds
can be had for the west. That course is
the only one that will overcome the un-

Opportunities in the West.

Many of the fortunes of to-day were
made by developing the resources of the
west. There is many a fortune yet
awaiting men who will grasp opportunl-
ties in the west and devote their talent
and even slender means to developing
the still undeveloped but almost limit
less that the west, and espe-
cially the southwest, still offers. The
story of George Tritch, a timer, who
came to the west less than forty years
g with not a penny in his pocket, with
the disadvantage of foreign birth and
limited education, is an illustration of
what a man can accomplish with a
small beginning, hard work and faith ! in
himself, for he died this week in Denver
worth 81, 900, 900. This was not accumu-
lated by speculation nor good luck. but
by hard work and taking advantage of
the business opportunities that the west
offered.

An Unjust and False Criticism.

The Episcopal Brotherhood of st. An
drews sent a secretary to the Philippine
islands, but he could not endure the
profanity Of the soldiers, shipped for
home by the first steamer N rushed
into print to declare that "46,0 900 men,
bers of the American army are gam
blers. rakes and drunkards." Perhaps
this young man was raised in the at
mosphere of a Sunday-school, and when
he began to be shocked in Manila the
boys had fun with him. The most Of
any assemblage of Americans are not
easily converted into rakes, gamblers
and drunkards. OF course, army life
leads to the adoption of many habits
not %practiced at home, but that Is inev-
liable, though in the main the evil eff
fects disappear when the mel return to
their old surroundings. Doubtless
many a man whiled away weary hours
in prison in the civil war by playing
cards and, perhaps, gambling for an
others share Of beans, but that did not
prevent him becoming a useful man in
the walks of civil life when he returned.
The volunteers in the islands now Ger
tainly will average up we'll with the
men they left behind, and to conclude
that the majority remaining at home
would become rakes at once upon reach
ing the islands is about as reasonable
as the belief of the above goody- goody
critic. The complainant Is an English
man, by the way, who has been in
America several years, but not long
enough to get over his ignorance of the
character of American manhood. nor
his p~rejudices against this nation.

Another railroad for this territory is
being built on paper. 1t is to be a line
from the Indian Territory. While Albu-
querque claims, or hopes, that it will be
the terminus of the line, Roswell people
have been assured that the railroad will
come their way, and that Ell Paso will
be its terminus. 1t is such a common

Denver seems to be considerably wor-

cure no trade, while the leading ex-

doubtedly is that when the mining stock

stocks to be handled, while Colorado
Springs has run it's exchange upon a
squarer basis. The people who were

Visitors who spend a day or two in
New Mexico generally know more about

its people and it's history than do life
time residents. At least, it seems so by

once in awhile by a territorial paper.
Some visitors are greater discoveries
than Columbus, for they discover things
in New Mexico that the old resident
never dreamed of, and never allowed
his imagination to see.

fight at Auteill, a suburb of the capital.
The first bull had hardly been in the
arena a minute when he charged the
audience, and did it SO effectively that
nine spectators were more or less in
jured. This should help to make bull
fighting unpopular in France, but the
French are not a people to learn by ex-

become a national sport. This seems
