And In the morning OF the times.
The first thing that strikes the Eastern trav-
eler in the West is the newness of the country
We are Just at the beginning of things, and this
great expanse of territory which has lain unim-
proved since the dawn of creation has in a day
been developed and the foundations laid for that
civilization which will endure through all ages
to
A New Country.
Children who studied geography in the SOS
did not find Oklahoma on the map. Now
it is a prosperous, highly developed Common
wealth. When my father born there were
probably not a thousand white men in all Cali
fornia To-day the fame of California and its
products has gone to all the ends of the earth.
In lifetime the wilderness has been changed to
rich farming country, large cities have been built
where yesterday were forests, and populous
States now cover the wild Indians hunting
grounds To have been in OKLAHOMA five years
makes one an old citizen; with ten years resi-
dence one is almost patriarch. Two years ago
the woman died who built the first frame house in
California. To-day in Salem, Oregon, young
man showed me the square mile of land which his
father staked off in the wilderness sixty years ago.

The next thing you will probably notice is the
cosmopolitan character of the Western popula-
ton. This is all the more striking to a North
Carolinian, because the Old North State, be-
ieve, has smaller per centage of population born
outside her borders than any other in the Union
probably little more than per cent. But west
of the Mississippi three-fourths of the people I
have asked have told me they were born in some
other State than that in which they live. It is a
poor town that does not have representatives of
at least dozen States within its borders "Go
West, young man." is still accepted as sound doc
trine by thousands Tennessee, the Carolinas and
Virginia have sent their quota to nearly every
country.
1t is also interesting to see that here Nebraska
and Minnesota and Iowa are all reckoned as
Eastern; and the San Francisco papers put their
Chicago dispatches under the head of eastern

San Francisco and the Big Trees.
Perhaps I had as well break into my philoso-
phizing right here to give an account of my wan
derings since my last letter. That afternoon it
was mountain drive around Santa Barbara, Cal
ifornia, with a magnificent view from the stage
road that winds around the orange groves and the
gnarled old live oaks past Santa Barbara Mission
and the beautiful country estate Of Mr.. Eaton.
Next day we went to see the Big Trees-the
famous sequoias of California. There some

The Charm of California.
We we're loath to leave California, as wa bod :.
do soon after the vision Of Shasta was left bab;n1
US. There is touch of romance about the S+a+o
and the people that we do not get anvvhero oIoo
out here-about the old missions, "rho eno,ot
dream of Spanish glory;' about the min;nc
camps, with their golden wealth and the Will
dreams of the '49-ers; about the new-male cit;os
growing up in a day; about the golden frnitod
orchards and the vast fields of grain and flowers
It is interesting too, to talk with the sons of these
early settlers. In Monterey I found a man whose
mother came around the Horn; in San Francisco
my street car companion was the son of a Lonis;
anian who came across Mexico and then bv steam
er; in Sacramento our lady host was the grand
daughter of Vermonter who Travelled by wagon
across the country.
A Missionary Story.
But here we are in Oregon. And the first thing
I run up against is the influence of Marcus Whit
man. Whitman, you remember, was the Metho
dist missionary who came out here from the East
in the 30's or 40s. Some of his followers made
the first settlements about Salem. It is claimed
and probably properly so-that Whitman saved
OREGON tO tho T1nio +I7o f,r
panies and in other ways the British we're getting
an alarmingly strong hold upon all this territory
Whitman the danger. There was but one
remedy-to get help from Washington; and this
he resolved to do. It was perilous journey
across the Rockies across the praires all the
time among savage Indians; but Whitman made
this trip, and laid the case before the President
The result was that a Governor for Oregon was
appointed, forts established and the Northwest
was brought permanently under American infu-
ence. My impression is that Whitman and his
comrades we're afterward massacred by the Indi-
ans they had come to convert.
The Race Problems of the West.
Because of the presence of our negro race
problem in the South have been very much in
terested in studying the Indian race problem in
the Territories and the Mongolian race problem
on the Pacific Coast. And I think [ have heard
worse things said of the Indians and Nongolans
by the people out here than have ever heard said
OF the negroes by our Southern folk. "We might
as well finish the job Of killing out the Indians
was an Indiana editors comment in Oklahoma.
"A people who can't adapt themselves to civliza-

San Francisco has one of the prettlest loca-
t;ons of any city in the world but the streets and
buildings are not in keeping with the beauty OF
the natural surroundings The buildings are not
ugly, mind you, but they not so pretty as they
ought to be for such a setting as they have just

Pacific surf breaks eternally on the cold gray
stones of the beach, and the itself, llmltless
misty and mysterious stretches away farther than

hanging over it like a curtain.
Here too, are vessels, their long journey done,
passing at last through the far-famed Golden Gate
into one of the best harbors in the world. San
Francisco Bay extends for miles beyond Other
cities too, have been built about the Bay and
from Tamalpais one also sees smaller fr-clad
foothills, while mountain peaks stand out hazy
blue in the clear air above the few feecy clouds.

Gated the natural centre of Pacific Coast trade,
it is not surprising that San Francisco is making
rapid growth. But for all that is said of its eli

Carolina It doesn't rain during the summer
months, but the cold fogs from the ocean are
disagreeable, and it goes against the grain with
me to have to wear winter clothes in midsum-

Lesson for Fasteners.
From San Francisco the beautiful
Sacramento, the capital of California. Heavy
crops are raised in this valley, and there some
large Hooks OF sheep and herds of cattle Sacra-
mento, like nearly all these Western Cities is as
clean can be, and with the prettiest of lawns
and flowers. I really afraid that these West
erners have somewhat keener appreciation of
the beautiful than we Fasteners and Southerners
have. crusade to improve our front yards and
bring them up to Western standards would do
great deal to make life more worth living-and a
great deal, too, to increase the value of prop
erty and to bring desirable immigrants among u.s.
Sacramento moreover with it's onlv 10000 peo-
pie, has $5OOOOO Public Art Gallery; we might
also learn something from this. One of the most
impressive things in the city is old Fort Suffer-
built in 1889 a protection to settlers against
the Indians, and still in excellent state of preser
vatlon. 1t is now a sort of museum and the most
popular relic is the old sieve used by James Mar
shall in sitting out the first gold ore discovered
in California.

EXTENSIVE PLANS.
New Colonizing Agent of Santa
Fe Outlines Plans for Colonl-
cation of the Panhandle.

1t is announced from Topeka
the headquarters of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, that Chas. L.
Seagraves, the newly appointed
colonization agent of the Santa Fe'
intends to begin his administration
in a decided effort to further the
development of Texas and the
Southwest. Mr.. Seagraves has
made public some Of the details OF
his plans in his efforts towards COL
onizing the Panhandle and South
west, which are of the most extern
sive character and with special
reference to this section of the
country.
During the course of an inter-
view recently with a Topeka paper
Mr.. Seagraves had the following to
say in especial reference to south
western immigration:
IF our predictions materialize'
said Mr.. Seagraves, which they
no doubt will, the next few years
or months for that matter, will wit
ness a colonization movement, the
like of which has never been seen
in this country. The railroads
have already done much toward
settling the country through the
medium of their colonization rates,
but in view of what we intend to
do this can only be regarded as a
starter. Through the neglect OF
the inhabitants and other like caus-
es, the opportunities of some of the
most productive districts of the
Southwest have been passed pV
UNDECIDED, and land that is really
valuable is passed by as barren and
useless.
"Our plan is to attract atten-
ton to these districts through sys-
tematic advertising in the newspa-
pers and periodicals, and if we car
once get the people to see FOL
themselves, we will have no trou'
BILE from that time on. X X 4

view for colonizing the Panhandle

Valley in New Mexico, in addition

tricts of California. These plan

BATHING AT THE PALO
DURO CANYON.

Palo Duro Canyon is one of
the most beautiful natural
spots in Texas, and affords
fine bass fishing and duck
shooting.
The Canyon is a favorite
place for recreation, and in
the summer is daily visited by
pleasure parties, not only the
members and guests of the
Palo Duro club, which has a
fine preserve and lodge, but
by the general public as well,
who either run down for the
day or camp out in the shade
of the trees.
This canyon is one of many
upon the Plains, nearly all OF
them with streams of never
failing water, usually abound
ing with bass and perch, as
we'll as water fowl.
These canyons are also the
source of supply of much of
the fuel and posts used on the
plains.
