point of view. B. c. Taylor, an Eastern
travelling man. who is the guest of his
brother, Frank l.. Taylor, assistant man

day:
The West will miss a great emporium

opportunity presented by the Pan-Amerl-

great lakes waterway and New fork sta e
is at the other.so tle-e should be natural
exchange of commerce and commodities
that has not been developed to anything
like its possibilities.
But the greatest good to be accom-
pliSned is to open the eyes of the pro-
vincial New Workers to the real great
ness of the West and the opportunities
it presents in agriculture, business and
manufacturing. Very few of them have
seen much of anything of the West. al

Western news. Take up New York pa

big fires, murders and political yarns.
you will find very little news of the
country outside of New York state. New
England and Pennsylvania.
DO you know that very few compare
lively of the New Workers visited the
worlds fair. at Chicago. and that you
cannot convince them today that 1t was
much of a show? I'll bet more Of them
went to the Paris exposition. Their pa
perS1 have more news about affairs on
the other side of the water than the hap
penngs in this country, hundred miles
away from their pet center of the uni
verse. If you want to read the news OK
the United States you must take Chl-
cage or ST. Louis paper or any good
Western daily, for that matter to get
posted.

work and now they are using methods to

COMMISSIONERS HAVE COMPANY.
Commissioner H. P Hall was seen rel
ative to the appropriation question yes
terday and spoke as follows:
'I have little to say, for anything i'd
ditional to our report to the legislature
might seem supert1uouS. Nevertheless,
am glad to hear that representative men
are interested in the state enough to eX-
shows that the commissioners do not
stand alone en- a solid rock with water
all around them. They are on dry land
and have plenty of company me pqsl.
the interests of the state at large are
their interests and that we have COM
mon cause for which to work.
''Tt is the young men of the East whom
we want to come to the West. We want
to- bring right into the heart OF their
country proof of our wonderful strldes IN
ali lines of industry and then pull them
out here BY young men. | mean those
between the ages of twenty and forty,
for they can help to carry on what mas
already been begun and keep the grown
of business life and enterprise apace with
the records Of past years. Why, we are
leading the world in half a dozen things
now, and why not keep things a-nuar-
ming? We must. There is such thing
as state pride. as Well as personal pf1de
or love of country"
II has been suggested to the commits
sioners that it would be a good idea to
have a miniature model of the new cap
itol building constructed and placed on
exhibition in Buffalo. The new strpc-
ture will be the most magnificent in the
state and a model would greatly help to
impress the East with the commercial,
Industrial and civil growth of the IN
dian country" 1t would bring facts
home in a striking way and the cost of a
miniature model would be little compar-
atively speaking, when its beauty and
the effect it would have are taken into
consideration All who have been ap-
preached with the matter are in favor
of if and think the idea a good one, but
it is known now that nothing can be done
in this line with the present appropfla.
ton One glaring word now stands be-
fore the Pan-American commissioners,
and that word is, money" More money,
or everything will have to be according
to the appropriation.
