whose ravishing beauty fills the soul
with reverential awe, while over all
md around all there is an atmosphere
SO pure that simply breathing it brings
life to the lifeless, hope to the hope
less, and happiness to the miserable.
Let me in fancy take the old world
tourist to Pasadena and direct his
gaze over the Arroyo Seco to the
orange and olive lands stretching
away into the dim distances of the
horizon and back to the imposing
heights of Mt. Lowe, standing guar
dian over that goodly land where it is
always summer time" Let me take
him wandering and wondering
through the Yosemite, with it's multi
Jude of the marvels of nature in her
most playful mood. Let me go with
him to the Columbia river and where
rolls the Oregon" Let him stand in
the shadow of the high hills about
jhoshone Falls and listen to the I'M
leasing thunder of the flashing, fall
ng waters. Let him look over the
Jast, desolate expanse of the Great
Salt lake, that deep blue sea on the
rest of the continent. the weird
jeauty of which has been said and
sung in every land and language I'M
Ter the sun. Let him see the Yellow
tone National park, whose varied
harms and geological curiosities are
1t once the delight and despair of him
who would attempt to describe them.
Then go with him to the Grand Can
yen of the Colorado, and let him look
1t that vast crevasse in the earth's
surface, whose impressive grandeur
al painter has fittingly painter, and
he adequate description of which beg
CARS all languages. Then go with him
INTO the sad southwest, the mystical
sun land" where are the ruins and
remains of race that sowed and
reaped, lived and loved, long before
the Jews made bricks without straw
in the land of the Pharaohs.
But one who comes forth from such
N experience as l have so briefly
described must needs be better
American and better man.
With the passing of every day the
health-renewing, soul-uplifting quail
ties of the outdoor life are being more
appreciated by the people, and the
number of jaded, overworked men and
women of the crowded cities who feel
n their hearts the irresistible call
of the wild" is constantly increasing.

To such as these the fields and
streams, the mountains, lakes and
canyons of the west lie fallow for the
working out of their physical and
mental salvation, and they, while re-
ceiving full measure of the things they
seek, will bear back to their homes
the pleasant consciousness of know
ing that they have helped in the de-
velopment of a most important part
IF their native land.
The practical, commercial POSSIBLE
ties of the proposed movement are
worthy of consideration, and in this
connection / wonder how many read
ers appreciate the commercial value
of that scenery in which the west is
SO abundantly rich. AS an actual de-
monstrated fact it is in reality worth
more than all the farms and mines of
the Rocky mountain region. The high
appreciation in which it's value is held
by foreign countries is indicated by
the fact that the Swiss and Italian
governments have expended $15,000,-
900 in constructing the Simplon tun-
nel mainly in order that tourists may
pass readily back and forth between
the two countries. These two coun-
tries have grown rich and waxed fat
IN American money, and no expense
S considered too great by them IL
thereby they may make the way easy
md the path straight for the yam
zee" visitor.
The scenery of New Hampshire has
brought into that state during the
past ten years from outside sources
he enormous sum of sS0,000,000. The
scenery of Colorado has made beau
.iful city of Denver, and is making it
l great commercial metropolis. Seen
cry and climate have made southern
California prosperous, and will keep
1t so.
An enormous multitude of health
md pleasure-seekers, who dwell on
the eastern seaboard of the United
States each year set their faces tow
'rd Europe, carrying with them mil
lions of American money, which, being
scattered from John o'Groat's house
to Constantinople, brings prosperity
to innumerable European communi
ties. These communities have learned
to appreciate the commercial value Of
their waterfalls, mountains, land
scapes and historical associations, and

COTTON PRICE FIXED.
Southern association Establishes a
Minimum of II Cents.

ksheville y. G.. Sept. THE Southern Cot
ton Association, in convention at KeniIworth
Inn, o-night established minimum price of
Il cents for the incoming cotton crop This
action was reached after four hours struggle
in the minimum price committees room this
afternoon and joint secret conference of that
committee and the general committee tonight.
II was a contest In which growers. spiuners
manufacturers and brokers were involved and
one in which the combined influence of all
these elements was brought into play in and
out Of the meetings which preceded to-night's
work
After the announcement of the estimate Of
the crop yield of 1905 and 1905 the fight mar
rowed down TO two factions one holding out
for 1O1z cents. the other for Il cents, notwith-
standing the fact that an outside element
clarnored for u cents.
Some of the growers this afternoon were in
clined TO the opinion that the unexpectedIt
short yield crop report would have a tendency
to push the minimum to - cents. but it was
known that these predictions would not be full
filed when the price committee emerged from
its caucus at 6:45 tonight.
We have labored like mountain and
brought forth a mouse" said one Of the per-
spring committeeman tonight; the conserva-
tive element wins"
The summary of the crop of 19O5-'06, as re-
ported by the statistical committee Of the asso-
citation. is as follows:
Production. 6. -lsS 133 bales; percentage of con-
dition as compared with last year. 733, as com
pared with the governments estimate Of III.
The yield is regarded as exceedingly small, as
from 100000 TO 10, 100000 bales was conf
