The w est.


From The Philadelphia ledger.
People of the east are apt to overlook the
fact that there is a great and growing west.
They do not realize that at some time not
far distant, this section will be competing
with the east in population and in CONNER
cial supremacy. To the thousands of Amer
leans who are familiar with Europe, but to
whom California, Oregon and Washington
are names and nothing more. the term
Golden Gate is without meaning; Puget
Sound" indicative OF nothing but distance.
They do not know that in the land where
rolled the Oregon and heard mo sound save
it's own dashing' there has sprung up a
life more virile than their own. from hav-
ing still the inspiration of youth and the
uplift that comes when ambition realizes
that there are worlds yet to conquer The
west is a giant; it does not beg favors it
does not ask for recognition. but 1t forces
the recognition by the expanding power OF
it's own splendid vitality.

Land Boom.

Americans OF our northwestern states
may we'll heed the warning of a London
financial expert who has been studying the
land boom in the Canadian northwest to
the effect that 1t Is far more speculative
than has been suspected. He declares that
both the Canadians and our people are buy
ing lands with partial payments. expecting
TO sell out at profit much more than for
actual use In cultivation. If this Is true the
boom will inevitably come to the end of all
booms The bottom will drop OUT and the
mortgages will own the land again. while
some of the specializing buyers will have
only experience.

interests he represented was not based
on the principal of subsidy but on pro-
visions of the bill. which. it was be-

getting into the hands of foreign shin
owners. With several amendments
