board, used solely for the fishery and occupied only
by fishing stations. a few miles back from the
shore lies the untraversed wilderness, extending
away for hundreds of miles, with only wandering
Indians or trappers to awake the echoes of the
prlmeVal solitudes
To reach Labrador the visitors must take ship.
As the COast-line is neared the outlook is most
depressing. The naked mountains grim and gaunt:
the barren foreground, stretching to the surf; the
broken, chaotic COaSt-lne; the Jagged lSetS. like
pnnaces, which sentinel the shore; and the cold,
storm-tossed waves-combine to form a forbiddng
aspect rarely equaled. The seaboard stretches SIX
hundred miles from Belleise to Hudson Straits and
every few miles there is a harbor as if Nature in
fashioning the land, had provided it with ample
shelter ports for the hardy fishers who would
gather there
Each harbor has few families of "1iv-yeres"
Qive-heres, or permanent settlers, to distinguish
them from nOmadic Newfoundland cod men who
frequent the coast every summer. These 'lv
yeres number about four thousand in all; in the
far north there are some two thousand Eskimos,
and many more Montaignais Indians and half
breeds through the interior making periodical
trips to the coast barter their peltries at the
Hudson Bay factories. The foregoing comprise
Labradors whole resident popuation-ten thousand
beings for whom life has few compensations. Lab
radOr. however IS the scene OF the strangest annual
migration known to the world. About twenty
thousand NewfOundlanders-r women and chill
dren-with all their household possessions, sail
there every spring in quest of cod returning again
IN the fall after the fishery has ended.
The sandy banks off the coast are the home of
this lordly prize, the king Of eating fishes and in the
quiet bays nearby the cod-catChers locate. Fully
a thousand schOoners pass north each year to
trawl these waters This fishery IS all important TO
the Observation-Disclosures: 1t represents food, clothing
and material comforts If it yields good harvest
there widespread prosperity but if it fails there
absolute misery. In this latter fact all often
IS ePtonlized the history OF this great, lone land.
Fishing IS virtually the only occupation Of the
voyagers to these shores; and a bad fishery is a
national disaster.
His schooner and fishing gear, with his room
Labrador and his home on our island, constitute
the wealth of a Newfoundland fisherman He
builds the vessel himself, rigs and outfits her sails

floating home for the four summer months In
her hold salt to the catch and provisions to
maintain the crew; her decks Uttered with i'm
pedimenta and her lving-rooms crowded with
human beings who make up her personnel. All

The purposes Of this conventions
are two-fold: First, to give express
ion to the will and wishes Of the
peole of the Twin Territories as to
statehood legislation for us; and,
in the second place, get the Amer
ican congress to provide for the adj
mission Of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory to statehood at once with
out regard or reference to other
territories of the United States.
The people Of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory are particularly
called upon by the present exigency
of our situation to resist "entang-
ling alliances, z made possible by the
desire and insistence of other territ-
ories to be admitted into the Union.
But in this matter, our duty begins
and ends at home.
The boon of American citizen
ship under state government is
worth our best endeavor. The de-
mand is pressing upon US to make
every possible sacrifice and use all
honorable means we can to reap the
blessings Of statehood The rights
and privileges therein vouchsafed
are none the less deserved or desired
because SO long denied to us and to
our children, who growing here and
now fast coming to mans estate
have never have yet known aud en-
joyed them.
Measured by every standard,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
say we, are entitled 70 immediate
statehood. The coming campaign
will try us in the eyes Of congress.
first upon the test Of whether we
deserve what we say We 50 much
desire. The opportunities before
MS invite. and Lessons of the recent
past impel us forward.

ternoon by w. r. Sims in the matter of

of 1000, while the financial and sta
tistical account of the Registrar de-
monstrates that this has bee naccom-
plished without the least impairment
of the schools usefulness; the average
number Of pupils in attendance being
500 for the year 1904, and 300 for 1904
