stream fed by the glaciers of Mount
Rainier. Today this plant develops
10000 horse power, which is used in
all branches of service. light, power
and railway, to the 100000 people
in the cities of Seattle and Tacoma,
Wash. The plant is As miles from
Seattle and 80 miles from Tacoma.
1t supplies power to operate the cleo
trio railway systems in Seattle and
Tacoma aggregating 16S miles of
trolley road two cable roads in Sc
attic and Tacoma as well as inter-
urban electric lines connecting the
two cities. 1t furnishes power for a
number of factories, together with
the shops of the Northern Pacific
railway and the new pumping plant
of the city of Tacoma, and supplies
the greater portion of commercial
residence and street lighting in Sc
attic and the towns between Seattle
and Tacoma.
Between Los Angeles and Redondc
in California the former steam road
has given way to an electric line
operated by water power. This power
is obtained from the Kern river at q
point 125 miles distant from Los An
geles.
No one has ever compueted II
terms of horse power the vast
amount of electrical power available
in Sierra streams. But it must run
away up into the millions of horse
power. The rapid fall and constant
flow of these streams, which are
largely supplied from melting SHOWS
together with the fact that that por-
ton of the western watershed of the
Serras which offers opportunities for
power development extends for a dis
lance of 1900 miles north and south
is a token that some day the trans
portation of the entire Pacific coast
will be operated by hydro-electric
motive power.

Down at Camp Atascadero, where
the sun-baked earth would discour-
age the most enthusiastic disciple,
the tree ground offered every OPP
portunity for the most interesting ex-
periments.
The method employed by the signal
corps was to drive a nail into the
living part of tree and wire is

The gratifying results obtained
from this experiment attracted the
attention of Major Squier. who gave
the matter great deal of thought.
1t then occurred to him that trees
might be used for the purpose of
wireless telegraphy.
There is wireless telegraph sta
ton at Fort Mason, also one on Yerba
Buena, small island in the bay OF
San Francisco. At both stations there
, are Splnt eucalyptus trees. one OF
the trees at Fort Mason was selected
, to demonstrate the practicability OF
, the majors idea. An aerial wire was
, lowered from 75-foot pole and led
, to the tree, into which a nail was
driven. Almost Immediately signals
were received from Yerba Buena, and
the value of Major Squier's discov-
cry was at once established.

Wealth Grows Like Magic.
The increase of the wealth of this
entire region is vertically astonishing
In California alone the increase in
the annual assessment roll for SO of
81 counties is $Si,029.25S. Nor is
this increase in the property valua-
ton confined to a single section; in
stead 1t is generally throughout the
length of the coast. Parallel with the
above fact, is the exceedingly great
prosperity attested by the inter
change of wealth. This is shown by
the rapid leaps with which clearing
house receipts are growing. In the
north, four centers of commercial
activity are Seattle, Portland, Spo-
kane and Tacoma. Their clearing
house receipts are an index. not to be
doubted, of a thriving, healthy condi-
ton in growing business life. The
receipts at the Seattle clearing house
for the first seven months of 1905
were $l57.164,4S1. as compared with
$l1S.3S0.417 for the same period in
1904. Similar results are shown In
Portland with $l23.3So.s1o for 1905,
ending July 81. against the $96,774,-
ola for the same period in 1904; In
Spokane, with $S5.51I.243, for 1906
ending July 81. against the $65,495,-
272 for the same period in 1904; and
In Tacoma. with sS7,6l0,2l1 for 1905,
ending July 81, against the $5S,506,-
042 for the same period In 1904.
Great as the amount of money in cir
culation and great as Its freedom of
circulation is thus shown to be. the
increase is steadily becoming larger.

mission plants
Imag CINE a perpendicular column of
water 1860 feet high, 26 inches in
diameter at the top and "a inches
in diameter at the bottom--such a
column of water is not altogether
fanciful. What is known as the Mill
Creek plant, 10 miles from Redlands,
Cal, operates under a head of 1850
feet, which is higher than that Of
any other power plant in the United
States. The pressure pipe is in
reality 5000 feet long, but the point
at which the water entrs is 1860 feet
above the nozzle where the water
strikes the water wheel. This little
column of water, which, if liberated,
good trout stream, furnishes 5000
horse power, or as much power as
that of an ocean greyhound. AS the
water strikes the buckets of the
water wheel it has a pressure of $50
pounds to the square inch. The aV
crage locomotive carries steam at a
pressure of 100 or 200 pounds to the
square lhCl. W ere the stream as IL
issues from the nozzle turned upon
hillside the earth would fade away
before it like snow before jet of
steam
The longest single electric power
transmission system In the world is
that of the California Gas and Elec-
trio corporation, which has carried
power from Colgate to Oakland and
around the bay to San Francisco, a
distance of 219 miles. Recently, how
ever a current was carried a distance
of 272 miles without serious diminu-
alton.
Perhaps the most extraordinary
feat in power plant building is that
+ accomplished by the Puget Souno
Power company, which less than two
years ago commenced building a great
plant upon the Puyallup river. IA

Perhaps the best assurance of the
permanent character of the growth
of the Pacific states is given in the
fact that statistics of population
show increased growth of all the
larger cities. Estimates give the

tion of S74.3l0. This is an increase
over the last federal census of $780,

Prosperity Everywhere.
While these figures show the pros
perity, in the free moving capital in
dlcat1ng commercial activity and
progress, of the northern and CEN
tral sections of the Pacific coast. re-
ports from Los Angeles at the south
ern end testify to just as great and
successful business life there. In
1904 the Los Angeles postal receipts
gave an increase of 20 per cent over
those of 1903. That center leads all
cities in the country in increase of
postal business. Bank deposits there
have enlarged s1O,OO0,O0O in three
months.
Yet, taken all in all, this progress
in population and wealth as thus ex-
hibited in the cities is but a bare
indication of the flourishing condition
of the country districts. In agricul-
ture the conditions are most healthy
and promising. The activity of the
cities depends largely upon the state
of the regions drawn upon-of the
back country. In this respect the
states of the Pacific slope are partic-
ularly rich. This promise, this
