The Wonderful Northwest.

In long and handsomely illustrated
article in 1.-THE Worlds Work. for June
Mr.. H. A. Stanley tells the story of the
great growth and probable future of the
country bordering on Puget Sound. 1t is
iypically American, this region, and the
enthusiasm and spirit which have built
it up from nothing in few years is
American also. Mr.. Stanley has caught
the secret of It all, and hios story is full
Of interest and thrilling in its import
Indeed he concludes, '.the expansion
of the Sound country and its great in
land empire has as yet hardly begun. It's
development must be rapid for its natural
products are enormous, and the world
wants them. Such a wealth of timber
minerals. marble. granite, sandstone
limestone brick clay, glass material. bark
for tanning. and hundred other things
that cannot be found elsewhere. The
orient is 500 miles nearer than to south
ern ports, Alaska is nearly 1000 miles
nearer. and the transcontinental lines are
here.
There is gathering here cosmopolitan
people. characterized by enterprise cou-
pied with cool judgment. Here in the
Sound region has been during the past %
years. here and in Alaska and the Orient
will be during the next twenty five years
such achievement as shall render millions
prosperous and thousands wealthy.

NO CRUISE FOR RESERVES.
State Sailors Much Disappointed
Renansa They VIII Not Go to Sea

There is much disappointment among
the members of the New jersey Naval
Reserve over the fact that the crew OF
the Portsmouth will have no cruise this
wear. Every summer since the reserves
was organized in 1896, the Battalion has
take cruise. The first years they cruised
on their own vessel, The Portsmouth, and
have sailed her as far as Lewes, Del. For
the last two or three years the reserves
have taken their annual cruise on auxll-
liary cruisers of the United States Navy,
and each time they have wou the praise
and commentator of the regular naval
officers who have commanded them The
reason the government has not assigned
a cruise for the Naval Reserves this year
as given by the Navy Department is that
not enough States have signified their ac-
ceptance of the Governments tender OF a
vessel for the reserves. New Jersey is
not among these as her reserves has al
ways been ready and willing to learn all
they could by cruising with the officers
and men of the regular navy.
The men of the Portsmouth will in all
probabilities have ample drills during the
summer in small boat work along the
shores of the harbor.
