Himself at a Recent Banquet-De-

Rapidly Than Ever Before.

said, would come without conquest,
without war.
After telling of the growth of Amer

tons, the archbishop said:
Within a few years the commerce
of the states on the Pacific coast will
equal that of those on the Atlantic.
The development of the lands to the
east, the west, the north and the south
is going on more rapidly and safely
than ever before, and we are reaping
and will continue to reap benefits.
From the east the movement will be
westward to that section, and from
the west eastward to the same destin
