LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

1t is said that many Western North
Carolinians are migrating to the far
west and northwest to seek their for
tunes in the states of Montana, Idaho,
Washington, California, Nebraska, Da-
kota and other hockey Mountain states.
We do not know if this be true, but
rather expect that the inducements of
fered by certain transportation compa-
attracting u people westward. But
many who are allured thither by the
fairy tales of professional traffic mana
gers will soon t'rue their bargain" and
return ii they are financially able to
stand the expense. It will be the same
old story with others, so often related
before: We were misinformed but have
no money with which to procure a re-
turn ticket and shall have to remain.
This is the situation a goodly number of
Henderson county people who event
west'' have had to face during recent
years.
Better let well enough alone. After
all, western North Carolina is the best
country on earth and this section is
growing more prosperous every year.
The man who disposes of his property
and migrates to the west, nine cases in
ten, makes the mistake of his life. In
the greed for gain let US not lose sight
of other important conditions in life.
Health, peace and contentment are
more to be desired than the broad acres
of the great western plains, or ''the
cattle of a thousand hills" There is
need for mor industry and less indo-
lence-more emigrants, of economy,
thrift and intelligence and fewer i'm
migrants who contribute in swelling
the population of other sections of the
country to the detriment of the land of
their nativity.
Our people should adopt some means
and measures to check this exodus of
citizens. from the state, if epo to
this effect be true. The cooperation of
every desirable citizen is needed in the
development of the wonderful
so abundant throughout North Caro-
lima and the entire. south. No section
OF the east has greater possibilities, or
more natural attractions and advantages

the war department for the modest
sur Of fifty-six thousand dollars to
repair and light properly the statue

corrosion of the material of which it

a defect in the pedestal. AS for the

A SPREADING DISEASE.

Is one OF the most pestiferous OF the
minor nuisances in New York. He
makes life miserable for many per-
sons whose only holiday is Sunday,
and whose only means OF escaping
from the hest and noise OF the city
is the public transportation system.
1t is impossible to find any defence
for the Sunday rowdy. He may be
explained as an over-developed ply
sique with an under-developed mind.
This year the transportation mau-
ayers whose failure TO perform their
duties In the past Is largely respon-
sible for the conditions that exist,
appear to be making real effort to.
suppress the young toughs that abuse
their lines. In this they should have
the active and hearty cooperation "

disturbers Of the peace sent TO jail
would stop many Of the most acute

OLD PACIFIC COAST CHURCH.

The old Mission Dolores in San
Francisco threw its doors wide open
yesterday for the purpose of reminding
the public that Holy Thursday was
celebrated for the first time in Call.
fornia 1870 years ago. 1t was not the
present building that witnessed that
first celebration, although the tempo
rary structure of mud and brush stood
upon the same spot, SO that the associ-
alton is actually unbroken. The pres
ent church was built in 1904, and al
though time mas dealt gently with it's
adobe walls it has needed the restora-
tive hand that has been reverently APP
piled. During the last two years some
of the wrinkles of old age have been
smoothed away, but without any loss
Of distinctiveness or character. The
interior has been restored, the crude
tracings upon the walls have been re-
touched, and the old statutes have been
put back into the inches that are their
homes. 1t has been real restoration
and not rebuilding. The antiquity OF
the church has not been removed, but
intensified and made visible.
1t is good to know that the venerable
mission church will soon be perma-
nently opened, at least during certain
hours of each day. Hitherto 1t mas
been necessary to comply with certain
formalities that were sometimes pro
hibitive in the case Of hurried travel
ers. The new arrangement would al.

evidently have this fact In mind.
Hand in hand with the building of
western railways goes the develop
ment OF the country in many lines
With the increase in population, re-
gions which are now devoted to farm
ing and mining will become the scene
of many manufacturing enterprises
and in their turn will help to swell
the total of the commerce of the
lakes. Already in Minnesota steps
are being taken to provide cheap
power for many diversified indus
tries.
In this western country the har-
Messing Of the rivers has already be-
gun, and as result of the work now
being done on the ST. Louis river,
with its ultimate capacity OF 100000
horsepower, projects are on foot not
only for the establishment of many
manufacturing enterprises, but also
for the electrification of some of the
railroads which now run north from
Duluth to the great mines on the
iron range. 1t has been figured out
that when Minnesota and the Dakotas
have a population as dense as that of
Massachusetts the three states will
contain not less than 100000 peo-
pie, whose needs will be served by
$4,000 miles of railway.
That time, of course, is still far
distant, but the present growth of
population in the northwest country
Indicates that the men who are year
by year adding to the railway mile
age are making no mistake. And
should the time ever come when the
population of the northwest equals
or exceeds the present population of
the country, the proportion of the
traffic on the great lakes can only be
conjectured, for they will then be one
of the chief means of communication
between east and west, as they have
always been since the days when only
the birch bark canoes of the Indians
were seen upon their waters.

eastern markets, it is significant that,
in the opinion of the railroad builders,
the best route is that which is afforded
by the great lakes This means that
these inland waterways are to see
still further increases in the amount
of their commerce. The lakes have
for two centuries played an important
part in the upbuilding of the north
west. In recent years, the traffic on
Lake Superior alone mas grown so
rapidly that the commerce of the 500
many times exceeds that of the Suez
canal. A recent government bulletin
shows that through the canals of the
800" during April of this year there
passed 2,513,267 tons of freight, as
against 1,300166 in April, 1905. Last
year there passed beneath the aerial
ferry at the entrance to the Duluth
Superior harbor a total of 1888 yes
sells with a registered tonnage of 26-
21e.154. In the same time, there
passed the Statue Of Liberty In New
York harbor bound to and from foreign
ports about 5000 vessels. New
York's great coastwise trade gave ner

John Drew's Bible knowledge.

John Drew became quite melancholy
the other day when he was regretting
the fact that SO few people read the
Bible nowadays. 1t appears that john
was supping amiably at the club sand
when nobody could tell him the mean
ing of the word Easter" he exclaimed
with a frown Nobody reads the Bible
now" Just at this moment we con-
fess our inability to turn to that par
ticular part OF the Bible which treats
of Easter. its derivation as word
and its meaning, but of course we do
not for an instant doubt that the whole
matter Is fully set forth somewhere,
as is well known to John. Perhaps
it is late in Exodus or early in
Leviticus; we always had to skip that
part of the Old Testment to keep
awake. Now We know why John was
elected president OF the Players Club:

Tapping the Fertile
Canadian Northwest

D1luth, Mimi, June 15.-James j.
Hill recently made the startling state
ment that, in his opinion, by 1910, only
four years from now, the population Of
the United States will be 100, 900 600
and that when that time comes this
country will consume all the wheat
raised within its borders. The man
who makes this prediction belongs to
the modern race of,discovery, the rail.
road builders. Once it was the North,
east passage to Cathay which fired the
ambition OF the explorer. Now it is
the avenue to new fields of production.
The twentieth century industrial ex-
plorer is the man who seeks sources of
supply for breadstuffs, ores, timber
and other material of varied character
on which depends the complex life of
a nation of many millions of people.
The railroad magnate who spends
his working days in an office hidden
away in mammoth skyscraper seems
far removed from the race of hardy
discoveries who five centuries ago
made America known to the old world.
But, excepting, perhaps, Ponce de
Leon, who sought here the spring of
eternal youth, the pioneers among the
discoveries of the Western Hemiphere

we've seeking new routes for trade Just
as are their successors who are today
extending steel highways into regions
which only few short years ago were
inhabited by wild animals and Indians
1t is the undeveloped areas of fertile
land which now attract the pioneer in
railway enterprise as well as the ac-
tual settler.
Whether this country will consume
all the wheat raised within its borders
or not, the markets of the world are
clamoring for supplies and in response
to the demand, the eyes of the indus
trial discoveries are turned toward the
northwest. To jewellers in the south
ern and eastern states, the term north
west still means Minnesota, the Dako-
tas, Montana and Wyoming, Washing
ton and Oregon, but in these states,
the northwest has wider meaning.
1t includes not only great extent of
territory on this side of the line but
also vast expanse of fertile lands in
Canada, which are now being turned
into productive farms and which in a
few years will be among the greatest
grain producing regions of the world.

uct of these Canadian wheat fields to

wheat fields to the Pacific coast. The
Grand Trunk Pacific is being built
westward and the Canadian Northern
has already reached Edmunton and
consequently has but about 500 miles
to go before it touches the waters OF
the Pacific. The new Hill line is to
be pushed from Fernie, town in
British Columbia, eastward across the
prairie until Winnipeg is reached,
and Winnipeg is already included in
the Hill system. The Hill plans con-
template the crossing OF the Canadian
Pacific and the tapping of rich country
to the north of that line
1t is significant of the purpose OF
the railroad builders that they seek to
find routes through rich agricultural
territory rather than to hit upon the
lines which would prove to be the
shortest distance between two points
regardless of the character of the
country which it traversed. 1t is also
significant, on the other hand, that
having laid their rails through the
wheat producing areas, the railway
men thus seek the shortest roads to
the nearest points on navigable wa
tiers. One of the strong points adj

OF the modern lake carriers rank in
size with ocean-going steamships is
shown by the fact that the average
net tonnage Of the vessels which en-
tered and clearned at Duluth in 1905
was 2,166. With the deepening of the
Erie canal on the east the products of
the northwest can be carried BY water
Tor three-quarters of the distance to
the Atlantic coast and this fact has
evidently not been overlooked by the
men behind Canadian railway projects.
The fact that American waterways
will thus be utilized by the men who
are back of the projects to tap the
Canadian northwest adds to the inter
est in the subject on this side Of the
boundary line. Already existing
lines of road make a network over
the wheat fields of Manitoba and the
Canadian brakeman shouts Winnepe-
gosis on the shores Of the lake of that
name. Farther west, the iron high.
ways cross Saskatchewan and Asst
niboia, provinces whose names have
only recently been made familiar by
