valuation was about one-quarter OF
what 1t is this year, the greatest in the
history of the business. The record
imports were possible because of the
general prosperity.
Since 1868. when the first gem was

about Sl1.00O,000 worth of gems this

that New York cuts as much of the

Where the Greatest Railroad Build

Where the Greatest Railroad Build
Ing Is Now Going On.
The Southwest vies with the Cana
dian Northwest as a region Of devel-
opment. A quarter of the railroad
trackage laid in the entire country last
year was laid In the Southwest, says
the New York Tribune. Texas led with
7Ol miles Of new crack, nearly an
eighth Of the total of the country, and
try in railway mileage, Illinois having
been the leading State up to 1909. In
Louisiana 39l miles were laid In 1906.
| The other Southwestern States and
Territories made great gains. lmmi-
grafton thither Is extensive. b. +.
| Yoakum of the Rock Island Railway
says that 10000 immigrants to the
Southwest pass through St Louis week
| ly, and other thousands enter by way
of Kansas City, Memphis and New Or
| leans. He predicts that the census Of
1910 will show growth in ten years
of 80 per cent in the rural population
as, and 100 per cent in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. These are desirable
immigrants, Americans, tillers Of the
soil from the older States Of the East
and Middle N'est, who prefer the at
fractions of the South to those across
the border in Canada. The st. Louis
Globe-Democrat calls attention to the
fact that in 1860 the center of the cot
ton crop was in western Mississippi
while now it Is probably west Of the
Mississippi River. Texas raised third
Oh last years crop The making of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory into
State has been,e says the Globe-Demo-
crat, a great advertisement for the
whole empire of the Southwest"
The Canadian Northwest is also enti-
tied to its boast. There are fuel fam
inc and railroad congestion there, as
there are south of the border The
railroad building has not caught up
with the growing population. A CORE
spondent Of the Toronto Globe writes:
THE plain truth is that the expan-
sion of the West has proceeded on a
scale more huge than even the most
advanced Optimist had expected, and
all arrangements have fallen short of
the necessities. In the export cattle
trade alone there has been an increase
of so per cent, the 10000 head Of last
year having been increased this year to
10000. The growth of population has
meant an enormous increase in traffic
in supplies and In the handling of set
tiers effects. Considerably over 1OO,-
COO people have come into the province
during the year from other lands, and
in addition many have moved from the
older sections of Manitoba to the still |
cheaper land in the western provinces"
Cities and towns have sprung up so |
rapidly and grown so fast that those |
having population of more than 1000 |
each had Il total population in 1901 of |
S2,710 and they have now a total of |
l92,91S. The increased price of agri-
cultural products is sending people in
hundreds of thousands to the fertile
and only partly developed regions OF
