The Prosperous West.

Perhaps one of the most crafty
ing things brought to notice in the
recent financial furry in eastern
money centers was the fact thaat the
people of the West at large are en-
joying a liberal share of the general
and substantial prosperity that i'm
bues the nation and that they have a
confidence in their business. their
work and their prospects that cannot
be easily shaken. They are growing
and developing out there at a great
rate and if the glowing reports
brought back from there are not
unduly exaggerated, it viii take u
pretty big upheaval to make them
worry about panics

ing to say OF conditions as he found
them in the West:
CAS- to the general condition of

for pessimism. The Wall street
men who have a bad taste in their
mouths should take trip over the
United States and see what is going

line, to the Pacific coast and down
through California and back to the
East They would find every road

than it. could carry. both westbouni
and eastbound: they would find the
railroad men explaining that the
reason they could not give cars was
because they did not have them.
and the reason the freight did not
arrive was because of the unpreced-
ented congestion of business.
THE farmers of the West are mot
Dessimists; they are not worrying
about the future of this country.

from the farm on most places the
hired help has little to do in the win
ter and is usually discharged when
the fall work Is done. With dairying
through the year, the help can be
kept and be earning instead OF spend
ing: which is becoming an important
factor In improving the character OF
farm help. Winter dairying makes a
more even distribution of the work
az the cows go dry in the busy season
and the milking Is light then instead
OF heavy as would be the case with
cows that all come fresh in the spring.
