The movement TO Introduce Chinese

ambitious that they are "Japanizing

time has removed from the progeny Of
these imported laborers the allen dis
ability, they will dominate the islands
both politically and indusrially. While
the scheme proposed is to import some
10000 coolies under ten-year inden-

They Did Not Have To.


A family who had struggled the best
part Of lifetime in poverty stricken
portion Of the city suddenly came into
the possession of small income. with
the prospect in few years OF some
thing more. Their long-crushed aspi-
rations revived, and the women Of the
family especially began to assume va
rious airs and artifcialities.
They moved to little place In the
country, and tried nightly to impress
their neiehbors with their importance.
They talked constantly Of what 'peo-
pie in our position" should and should
not do.
Some Of their town acquaintance
came out to visit them during the sum-
mer. and one Of the younger members
Of the family, little girl OF z or 8,
was showing them about the place.

as mas been spent upon similar build
ngs elsewhere; but, in Mr.. Browns
opinion, the artistic effect of the struc.
ture is unsurpassed.
The predominating feature of the
building is the massive marble dome,
the largest in the United States. I'm
til Its completion the dome of the
Rhode Island State House at Provi-
dence held the distinction of being the
greatest. The dome Of the capitol at
Washington is very much larger, but
that u made Of cast iron, painted
white. The domes of st. Peters OF
Rome and st. Paul's of London. like,
wise. are larger, but neither Of them
Is constructed Of marble.
The interior flnishin9s of the build
Ing are magnificent. Marbles from al
most every well-known quarry in the
world were imported for use in the
grand halls and legislative rooms, and
beautifully carved woods for the ex-
ecutive offices.
To see such evidences Of art and cul-
ture in a country that, but a short while
ago, was considered a barbarous from
tier, is the most satisfying thing that
can happen to man who has faith In
the great destiny Of the United States
as the leader of nations.-C. T. Greene,

ingS; there Is not an acre OF It that has
not been charted. A dozen States have
been carved out Of it, and the borders
Of the brush and timber lands are
rapidly receding before the woodman
with his ak and the farmer with his
plow. In the near future there will
not be left a single acre Of unproduct-
i've land, for the gigantic projects OF
irrigation that the Federal Govern
ment Is undertaking will, within the
next decade, transform every arid area
into a fiourishing garden.
This great Northwest territory COM
prises fully one-sixth of the entire area
Of the United States and Is now peo-
pied with 100000 Americans who are
engaged In various industries. the an
nual output from which aggregates,
in value, millions Of dollars.
II there is one thing more than an
other that has fostered this marvellous
development, it is the modern rail-
road. In the great Northwest there
are over $4,000 miles Of railway track
and the capital that is represented by
the operating plants Of all of the rail
way companies serving the people OF
this territory amounts, in round num-
bers, to over $500, OOO, 900.
It Is marvellous that such transfor-
nation of a wilderness into flourish
ing home of civilized beings could be
effected within the short span OF one
human life; yet the progress made
during the last decade is still more re-
markable and the most reliable indica-
ton of the increasing wealth OF this
section of the United States IL the

narketina Potato Crops.

In line whit the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
aadley Of Yale university in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers bro't
by President Tuttle of the Boston and
Maine railroad before the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce. Moth
ing could better show how q railroad
works for the interest Of the localities
which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
Of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels, which find market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
putt of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
Of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unpreoedentedly low rates on po-
tatoes to every reachable market, even
carrying them in large quantities to q
place so remote as Boston. The Aroos-
took growers had to reduce the price
on their potatoes and even then could
not dispose Of them unless the Boston
and Maine railroad reduced its already
low rate, which it did. By means Of
these low rates, making possible low
prces, the potato crops Of both Michi-
gan and Maine were finally marketed.
Every bondy eats potatoes, and that
year everybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rrates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons TO find markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered q
decrease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroosteok farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. II the making of
rates were subject to governmental ad-
justment such radical and prompt 40
tion could never have been taken, be-
cause it il well established that IL q
rate il once reduced by . railroad COM
pany it cannot be restored through the
red tape governmental procedure. II

and Maine railroad had been subjected
