terests Of the trans-Mississipni region,

terests Of the Mississippi region
The coming of the Trans-Missis--
sippi Comm ercial Congress, at Seattle,
meets the general desire of these in
terested in the commercial growth of
the trans-Mississippi states and terri
tories to gather at the center of this
new commercial activity. 1t is, there
fore, the determination of the eXecu-
tive committee to secure at this meet
ing as large an attendance as possible
of representatives of the commercial,
industrial, maritime and other associ.:
atoms within its jurisdiction, together
with full delegations from the states,
cities and counties within it's territory.
In order to secure this we urge that
immediate attention be given to this
most important movement, and that
the number of delegates to which you
are entitled, as herein enumerated, be
selected from the very best material,
and that such delegates when appoint
ed, be urged earnestly to be in attend
ance.
aside from the commercial rela-
Itions in this western country with the
Orient, there will be other topics to
be discussed and legislation to the ma
ttional congress, more directly affect
ing the people of the west. Among
these may be enumerated irrigation,
railroad rates, improvement of harbors
and waterways, the government de-
lpartment of mines and mining, good
roads, commercial relations with the
Central and South American republics,
beet sugar industry, the encourage
ment of home manufacturers, state
hood for the territories, legislation for
Alaska, Isthmian canal, merchant mar
inc, consular service, preservation of
forests, postal service, etc..
at is the general desire of the mem
hers of the executive committee to con-
fine discussion to subjects of general
interest, and to exclude those which
are of either local or political nature.
Whilst any question german to the
objects of the congress may be intro
,duced, by any delegate, the chairman
of the executive committee would be
grateful for suggestions as to questions
to be discussed by any citizen of the
trans-Mississippi country.

ritory may appoint ten delegates.

Sometimes when the sky is the grayest
We catch the sweet odor of flowers,
And often the joys that are purest
Are born Of the saddest-hued hours.
Sometimes as we long for Lethe,
Sweet memories gladden. the heart,
And hope sings a song of rejoicing,
While gloom sits, stranger, apart.

And rest in His peace and repose;
Let us JOY as the lark far upsoaring,
Let us trust, as the lily and rose.
