There is not a single question that
has for It's purpose the up-building
and betterment of the Trans Missis-
sippi region that cannot be considered
upon the floor of this congress, and
those who have been constantly as
ISOLATED with it, in the many years of
its work, have right to be proud of
its accomplishments.
No one in st. Paul has worked hard
er in the interest of the congress than
Rufus A. Hoyt, vice president for Min
nesota. He has worked indefatigably
to see that the arrangements, both for
the business sessions and the comfort
of the delegates have been complete.
Hoyt an Enthusiast.
He was born in Auburn, N. Y. He
read law three years with Hon. Milo
Goodrich. Previous to this, he was
boolzkeeper and cashier Of large mer-
camille house for six years. After read
ing law, he spent few years in the
Rocky mountains in Colorado. While
in Colorado he had charge, as assignee,
of a large mercantile failure, and was
also engaged in mining and law.
He returned to New York, and after
a visit with his father came to St.Paul,
fifteen years ago. The first year he
was here he was assignee of large
mercantile failure in Christine, NJ D.
He was delegate to the Trans Mis-
sissipp1 Commercial congress held at
Cripple Creek, Col, last year. After
some hard work and a brilliant five

and Detroit was closely besieged by the
chief himself, the French Jesuit Lanofs
came from a remnant of British who
had escaped destruction of Fort Mich
1limackinac to implore that food, ans
munition and soldiers be sent to save
them. The British commander at De-
tro1t was so aStoniShed that he asked
the priest how he could risk his life in
a dangerous journey Of hundreds of
miles to save the enemies of his people,
his religion and his country. Lanois
replied, HE who has lived long in the
wilderness forgetS the boundaries of
countries. the narrowness of prejudice,
and sees the whole earth as Gods
woodland all men become his BROTH
ers." 1t was a sublime sentiment, the
truth of which has been often shown
in the mutual regard and helpfulness
the pioneers of Trans Mississippi land
have manifested towards each other in
the years of poverty, hardship and
struggle But now, when the rough
ness of the early pioneer life has been
largely overcome and mountain and
plain are becoming the most attractive
part Of the nation, it becomes necessa-~
ry for us to realize we have great and
most important general interests that
can only be safeguarded and devel-
oped by our unity and action. We have,
for instance, millions of acres of as
rich agricultural land in the arid states
and territories as can be found, all of it
available for homes and prosperity, and
yet it cannot be utilized because,
while there is an abundance Of water
running unused to the oceans, it will
require national aid to get it led out
upon the lands for irrigation purposes.
The storage of water-that is one of
tue greatest of the Trans Mississippi
Issues.
A Useless Word.
Then we want to get rid forever of
that word territory 1t should disap-
pear from Trans Mississippi this year
never to return. We are all worthy
to be states, and if we will only pull
together as Trans Mississippians we
will be called states in the near flu
ture. There, too, is the mine and the
miner. Tens of thousands of men have
tramped the Western mountains for.
years with pick and pan, salt pork and
can of Boston beans (the only Boston
thing in all the West for many years.,
flour and chickory, prospecting for
mineral, for a mine, for wealth. Sew

enty-nine per cent Of them have hunt
ed in vain, and of the balance very
few have found any vein from which
they derived the desired wealth. Yet
those men have been of the greatest
value to the whole ration. A few of
them have become wealthy, and some
of those who have won worldwide
fame for their noble charities have
been among these. Mining is gigan-
tic industry, destined to grow from
more to more, until, in time, the mon
ey question may come up for readjust-
ment with a new material for coin,
gold having become too common to be
of intrinsic and stable value. We need
government bureau of mining.
Beet Sugar Industry.
Another matter that needs united ac-
ton is protection of the beet sugar in
dustry. There is an almost unlimited
extent of ground in Trans Mississippi
that will produce sugar beets, and here
could be produced sufficient sugar to
fill the demands of the nation. East
ern people have used cane sugar so
long that generations ago they dropped
the adjective, and their children and
children's children have lived and died
with no conception that sugar was cane
sugar. Now comes the new product,
and because it is called beet sugar old
fashioned folks think it isn't sugar at
all. We have to beat that error out
of their heads. So, while we have no
ill will towards Porto Rico and Cuba,
we must stand together and insist that
they shall not raise Cain with our
Trans Mississippi sugar beet.
A United Whole.
Another thought touches our relation
with the people of South America. We
are on the line of continual upheaval
with them. We. with them, hold the
real and only cTown-1ands of the West
ern hemisphere. Some day Trans Mis-
sissippi will be forehanded enough, if
it's people pull together, to have a rail-
road from Alaska to Cape Horn. Then,
too, there's the Pacific ocean, with that
vast old and oldest world just beyond
it, where for hundreds of years to
come we shall have before us the sub
