BOUNDS INTO FAME.
E. g. Walton's Analysis Of Mime
apolis Climate Commented On
by the New York Sun.
That Paper Gives the Matter Elk
tended Consideration in an
Editorial.

Edmund G.. Walton Of this city. author
Of the hygienic essay, Distant Lands In
Minneapolis; or, A Journey to Foreign
Wards recently published in Th e
] ~ n a l, is likely to share the reputa-
ton Of the French philosopher who wrote
tons suggestions. printed in I g
u,rnal last week, have attracted the
attention Of that connoisseur of American
originality-the New York Sun
Telegraphic information comes that the
Sun contains this morning an editorial
headed, 1.-The Gifted Climate Of Mime
apolis. The writer begins:
THE lyric rapture of Colonel Pat Do
nan In celebration Of the bland tempera-
ture and tropic winter Of the banana belt
fingers In few faithful memories: but
he belonged to the world of romance
rather than that of business. Minneapo-
lis, which we dare not call the lustiest
and loudest of the twin cities, has a calm
commercial boomer, whose matter Of fact
manner outdoes the creations of fiction.
He Is Mr.. Edmund G.. Walton, real estate
dealer, and his special genius lies in his
method Of dealing with climate. He gives
notice to all tourists and travellers that
right in Minneapolis they can get all the
variations of heat and cold, wet and dry,
rare and dense, which they would find In
the course Of a journey across the CONT
nent."
That particular portion Of Mr.. Walton s
literary output which causes the Sun to
break forth In editorial fanfaronade Is as
follows:
.'Take Loring park and Lowry Hill, al
tho only one eight of a mile apart, the
winter Of the. former is, as a. rule, de-
grees colder. while the summer is de-
grees hotter: the one Is damp, the other
Is dry; one gets a narrowly confined wind,
the other broad, sweeping breeze; one
is OF the marsh the other is Of the hill
top; and the person of rheumatism and
cramps In the Loring park district can get
as big change in two blocks as he can
get in one thousand miles"
The Sun continues: Roam no more,
sick ones, roam no more. Why waste
time and money in journeys to Colorado
California or Alaska? The Minneapolis
trolley lines will take you into all eli
mates, or you can walk from Switzerland
to Sicily, from Algiers to Iapland In two
minutes. Become a roaming Minneapol.
| itan' So sings the insinuating Walton.
"st. Paul listens moodily and snarls. en-.
vious that Minneapolis not only has Lo-
ring park and Lowry Hill, but also has
Columbia Heights, where the forty-acre
reservoir for the city's water supply no.
only dispenses Mississippi river drainage
over the fifty square miles OF the city's
area, but serves the double mission O.

LOST RIVER FOUND
The Rio Grande Bed Once More
Carries a Manageable Stream
Past Ell Paso..
Talk Of Annexation Of Mexico on
the Texas Side Of the
Line.

The Rio Grarlde has redeemed itself,
says Louis Duclos of Ell Paso, Texas,
who is at the West hotel.
Lost river tho the Rio Grande was for
long time said Mr.. Duclos, .it is now
running stream again for the first time
in years. Whether its sources have tapped
hidden springs or an unusually heavy
rainfall at its headwa tiers is responsible,
I do not know and+I care less. The fact
which interests Ell Paso and the whole
southwest border in fact, Is that the river
has reasserted itself and is again thread
ing its way thru the desert, bringing to
us its message of hope and cheer as of
yore. It has reached a maximum depth
OF three feet and is again living UP to It's
past reputation of being navigable
stream. II the mountain freshets hold
out. we yet hope to establish steamboat
connections with the gulf. It is great
thing to have plenty of water, even In
Texas"
Mr.. Duclos represents the Franco
American Gem company, sole agents for
the Jarilla Turquoise mine, importers and
cutters of Mexican and Australian opals,
turquoises. pearls and other precious
stones While the crop of common tur-
quoises is as large as ever, he predicts
that there will be no rare members OF
this class Of gems left within ten years.
. Bull fights continue the reigning pas
time at Ell Paso, a grand massacre OF
brutal brutes' and the occasional kill
ing Of a toreador continuing the. weekly
diversion of the populace.
1T would be a great thing for Mexico .
said Mr.. Duclos, If. the starry banner
could float over that country. The an
nexation movement is strong on our side
of the line. but Los Mexicanos don't care
anything about it.. Ten miles inland or
the Mexican side, 1t is hard to. find a
Mexican who knows one word Of English
For the most part they are a hopeless
lot, unsuited to eur civilization. =

EAST AND WEST.
New England Plea for Tolerance and
COFdiaIity.

Boston Globe.
We are older than the west, we know,
and young America is disposed to be some
what impatient of age.
This is the only real difference between
the two sections, a difference for which
neither is responsible. It is not our fault
that we are the elders in the sisterhood Of
states, and the west cannot help being
young. But this gap between us in years
influences and estranges our temperaments
more than the gap between us in miles.
II can," is the boast OF the west.
Too often New England has foolishly re-
piled, you can't"
That never is worth while. To tell man
he can't do this or that is only to challenge
and spur him on. When the westerners
seek to do something that the east believes
to be unwise. we should not tell them they
can't do 1t, but rather that they ought not
to do II.
Age should study to meet youth half way
in the gulf of time that separates them.
There is nothing so pitiable and useless and
hopeless in this world as the old man who
permits the past to form a she'll about him
and isolate him from the present and the
future.
New England must look more to the west
than it is its habit to do. 1t must not
measure American projects either by the
standards OF Old England or by those OF
New England, but by the American stand
ard There are too many of our people
who regard the continent lying beyond the
Hudson as terra incognlta. Those who
have not seen the west should see 1t. and
many Of those who have traversed It should
go again with more open minds.
It is worse than useless to go anywhere
with our own little private and arbitrary
tape measure forever in our hands, chang
ing our skies without changing our minds.
That was the trouble with the celebrated
lady who went to heaven and complained
because Il was not like Boston. II is just
as absurd to institute such comparison
in Omaha or in Rome.
