course along the coast the country Is far better settled and developed and there is here a vast area of good tillable soil, which may be kept up to high state of cultivation and productiveness at a very small expense for fertilizers. The country is level and the rainfall being very light there Is not much waste from washing, so that to keep up such soils is comparatively small matter.
 Warning for the East.
 Now I have a special object in writing this article at this time, and 1t Is to warn the people of tho east against reck- less rush to the west without knowing where they are going to or what they are going for I know that many people have been benefited by going west, and know that many have been ruined. AS l stated above, we can not all live in the east, yet many who were living well have been brought to poverty by moving. and oth- CTS have left good opportunities at home to chase the rainbow nhere.
 Fruit growing seems to be one of the great industries In many sections and I do not find that the people on the Pa cific coast are making any more money on fruits than some of our growers have been making in the east. Their secret oi success of which I shall have something

 But when I get up here in oregon or Washington, where there is plenty or rain. I find grapes, apples and peaches of fine quality and fruit that l can rel ish. Yet the friut over here in the moun- tains of Oregon and Washington, where they have plenty of rain, Is not as fine favored as our eastern fruits are. There is no such quality to be found In an Elberta peach here as we get in the El- berta of north Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia When 1t comes to quality In grapes, Cullman, Thorsby and Fruithurst, Alabama. can discount anything l have yet found in Oregon, California or in any other western state. The fruit here IS large and showy, but does not contain the sugar that our eastern fruits have. But they sell and it Is a good commer- cial industry here, the growing and ship ping of all kinds of fruits. Of this how ever, I shall have much more to say later on.
 We cannot all live in the east This country needs building up, and as stated, time and all the agencies combined will make a great country of the west. or

IN THE FAR WEST.

Portland , Ore, September 24.-(Special. My last letter was from Los Angeles Cal where I had just reached at tht time of writing, and then I had seen very little of the country. Now what I shal write should be of interest to all oui readers, and I am sure that many oi them will be greatly interested. am moi going to write as if l were the only ont from the east to come here, but l know that many of our readers will never have an opportunity of visiting this coun- try and I want to give them some idea of what 1t is and what it is like. Ther again much that I shall have to say should be used as an object lesson and al turned to the benefit of the reader who may never have the chance of visiting here.
 I wish that every boy and girl whe Is old enough to appreciate the beauties and wonders of nature could see all thai I have had the pleasure of seeing foi the last few weeks.
 A Great Country.
 The American who has never been wesi of the Rockies has but a narrow idea of the greatness or vastness of our coun- try. Let the reader take a good maI of the United tSates and look for Port land, Ore, and when he finds 1t he may conclude that it is not so far away, yet 1t is nearly 3.000 miles from Birmingham and between the two places there is 3 very large country-a vast empire as Il were. Yet we have one direct line ot railroad all the way from New Orleans I. +1,o
 The country is a revelation to me, a great new world of itself Commencing on the Pacific coast we have population and a wealth second only to the country along the Atlantic, coast. The wealth of Colorado, California, Oregon and Wash ington is a surprise to me The country along the coast Is pretty well settled there are great cities and fine farms.
 But we plucked New Mexico and Ari- zona about five centuries too soon. The country here as well as in many parts of Colorado and California Is not yet ready for the habitation of civilized man. We see here natures great process of soil building This country was all at one time a great sea, and the action of water piled up all these stones and made these mountains and desert plains, all of which will become fertile Hands in the course
  years for some of these mountains tC melt down and make soil for vegetation However the work is going on gradually and it only requires time for nature tt accomplish her purpose.
 One of the first things to attract my at tention on my first visit to this section was the work of disintegration that ii going on. The rocks are rent asunder great seams run through the quarries an' thousands, yes millions, of tons arr crumbling and helping to build soil b! furnishing the necessary plant food-phos phate, which will in course of time. if lef undisturbed by the white man, make soil where 1t will be possible for man no only to exist, but prosper as he is nov doing along the coast where nature ha builded faster and better. This coun try was made not for us, but for futur

 that I have seen there is no use of ad-
 vocating as yet any system or irriga- tion. for there is nothing but rocks to We. Even the valleys are covered with
 rocks, and this country should be left alone by man until nature finishes her work. But from what have seen of ir- rigated crops and lands I have not de- cided In my mind that should want 10 live in country that was fully depend ant upon irrigation. The natural rain fall on crops has a stimulating effect that no artificial watering can eyer have. Then again, fruits and vegetables grown by irrigation do not have the fine text

 I was surprised to find out here tha fruit growers in ali their meetings SC strongly urging cooperation. l supposed they had passed this long ago.

Race Problem Is Becoming National

The Philadelphia Ledger
notes that while forgeries
and crimes requiring educa-
ton are least common,
violent crimes by negroes
figure numerously in the po-
lice and court records, and
the increasing numbers lead
the Ledger to believe that
the most dangerous element
of the negro population has
been moving from the South
ern States northward, and it
bases this belief on the fact
that in January, 1904, 50 per
cent. of the persons tried for
burglary and robbery were
negroes, and more than two=
thirds of those convicted
were recent arrivals from the
South.
If this be so, and it doubt
less is, as stated, bad negroes
have made up a part at least
of the migration, but the
fact shows that the negroes
who are shiftless and attempt
to live in a Northern State as
easily as they do in the
South, by doing odd jobs and
preying upon the negro wo-
men do not find such facili-
ties in Northern States, and
being destitute, they take
the readiest method of max
ing a raise.
But, however all this may
be, the fact remains that
there is a steady and very
considerable drift of negroes
from the South into North
ern States, and they create
the conditions wherever they
may be, which go to make up
a race problem. When all
the Northern States shall
have, as they sooner or later
will, a race problem in their
midst, their people will have
a better understanding of it,
and be more reasonable as to
the best means of treating it.

THE Charlotte, n. c., Observer,
declaring that there was never any
thing so grotesque in the history of
American politics as the candidacy
of young Mr.. Hearst for the Presi-
dency> adds:
"But it is no longer a thing to be
laughed at, nor can it be whistled
down by the wind.
"Why?
s'Because it has the sympathy
and support of Mr.. William J. BrY-
an. 1t is not to be doubted that
Hearst aud Bryan are in league for
the control of delegates to the
national convention. Can Hearst
be nominated? No. He believes
he can be, and his candidacy is
earnest, Bryan is older and wiser.
He knows that neither he nor
Hearst can secure the nomination,
but in the Democratic national
convention a two-thirds vote is
necessary to nominate, and he hopes
that the two can control more than
one-tbird of the delegates. If they
can prevent it, no man who ear be
elected can be nominated, and,
having himself twice failed, Bryan
is determined that no other man
bearing the badge of the national
Democracy shall succeed.
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1904-03-04

"These are the facts that the
party has to confront. Hearst is
not spending his money and apply
ing his low cunning to this situation
for the purpose of advertising his
papers, as some believe-he is en-
gagged in a bona ide effort to get
the presidency, and knows no moro
than to believe that his success is a
probability. Bryan knows better;
he has another object. He pro-
poses, by a combination of his and
HeaFst's forces, to defeat the nomI.
nation of any man who can be elect
ed.
"This is harsh, but it it is true,
and the Democratic party has to
reckon with this situation whether
it believes it or not"

SENATOR GALLIGER, republican,
of New Hampshire, has an eye to
business. While his party is max
ing haste to spend the peoples mon
ey, he proposes to assist them,
hence has introduced a bill to in
crease the salaries of all executive
officers from President to members
of Congress, which includes him
self. If this bill passes, he will re-
ceive eight instead of five thousand

be somewhat selfish. He could
