WHAT REPRESENTATIVE AMERI
CANS SAY OF THE
Central Park
PERMANENT MOVEMENTS
SAYS JAMES j. HILL.

"a > JAhIIO 81 HILL.
In answer to the question: as the
present movement into the northwest
of a permanent character and likely
to continue?" President james j. Hill,
who, from his so years of personal OBJ
servation and experience in the north
west, is probably as good a prophet
as there is under the sun, gives the
Commercial West, in a personal inter
view, the following interesting state
ment:
Certainly it is permanent, and it is
bound to continue. Just look at the
facts:
The population of the United
States is increasing at the rate of A.
900 daily. We are growing at the rate
of nearly 100000 year. We have
doubled in every 80 or 40 years of our
history. Inside of SO years we will
have 150,0OO,0OO. Where are they GO
| ing? Are we sending them away?
Are they emigrating to other lands?
No; we are taking care of them at
home. Where is this extra million
and-a-half year going? Where else
but into the new lands of the west,
and into the northwest above all?
soil. healthful climate, transportation
facilities to good markets, and condi-
| tions favorable to human energy and
enterprise so abundant and ready to
hand as right here in the northwest?
lis there anything of a boom char
acter about such a condition as this?
Not bit. 1t is not only normal and
natural. it is necessary, it is compell-
1 ed. What else can this population
do, where else can they go? The cit
L les cannot absorb the 50,000,000 in
crease of the next 80 years. The bulk
of the population must be engaged
| in productive occupations. They must
be at work providing that great and
fundamental necessity of mankind
!everywhere-food for subsistence.
The great absorbing industry, the
most important from practical ma
terial standpoint, is the production of
food, and food comes from the soil
/ The cities flourish and prosper and
our civilization is enduring only when
the vast majority of the people is on
the soil, toiling by sweat of the brow
to produce food, on the one hand, and
the raw materials for manufacture,
trade and transportation on the 9th
| er. The bulk of this 50.O00,O00 human
increase must go to the soil. and they
pour into the northwest as naturally
as water flows down hill. This popu-
lation movement into the northwest
/ is as normal and natural as the fact
that water seeks a level"

child came with him and the family
came for the benefit of the fathers
health. Shortly after they arrived
the relatives here noticed that the
mans mind had become affected and
that he was rapidly going insane. Fl.
nally he became so bad that it was
necessary to place him under con
finement and he was taken to Mercy
hospital. Here the man became so
violent that it was necessary to strap
him to his cot in the room and he
rarved and tore in frightful manner.
In the meantime the wife became
frightened and said that she was go
ing back TO her home in Kansas City.
The relatives tried to persuade her
to remain with her afflicted husband.
but she refused and few days ago
left for her home.

He would Not Fake an opiate while
Ia Injuries Were Being Dressed
by DIR Myers.

A young man bv the name of Gil
bert McCaulv, of this city, met with
a very painful enthusiastically even
ing while trying to board "a West
bound freight train. He was near
Hobbs, the ton Of the nlne mile grade
when he tried to board the train to
come to this city, but as the trains run
very fast at that point. he missed his
step and his left foot went under the
moving train. The wheel ran ovor
his foot crushing it very badly.
Being unable to walk and suffering
great pain, he dragged himself to the
side of the track until seen by the
crew on one of the helper engines
that work on the hill. He was picked
up by them and brought to this city.
He was placed in the surgical o at
the B. and 0. and medical aid sum
moned
DIR. s., N. Myers. the B. and o. sur
geon, responded and rendered medi-
cal aid. The small toe was amputated
and the heshv part of the foot, which
was terribly crushed, was sewed up.
The physician before starting to dress
the injuries wanted to give the pa
tient an opiate to relieve the pain dur
ing the a%mputation. but this he re-
fused to take, saying that he would
stand it aud S % he did. Although be-
ing young, he passed through the op-
Grafton without uttering a word.
After he had his injuries dressed, he
was taken to his home near the Rat
thing Bridge.

He is never at a loss for interesting
conversation and his mind is full of

and its troubles are as familiar to
him as the A B C's and he has DAYS
and dates at his fingers ends. Mr..
O'Day is proud of the fact that he
was born in the same county DIS King
