extraordinary movement, but much of
i. is only indirectly affected by the
exposition, The low round-trip rates
attract many who would have visited
this part of the country, at the lower
rate, even without the added attrac-
ton of the exposition. The advertis-
irg which the exposition has been
given has served likewise to advertise
the whole Of the Pacific Northwest,
and those who are coming now are
coming to see the country as much
as the fair.
And this is not merely casual tour,
ist travel, irtent only on look at
the country and a summers outing.
There is a more serious purpose be-
hind much of it. It is safe to say that
an actual majority of the people who
have come here. or who are on their
way hither have a more or less we'll
defined purpose, if they find conditi-
ems to suit them, to remain perma-
rertly, or to return home for the pur-
pose of making a permanent home
after they have settled up their busi-
ness affairs and are in a position to
make the removal.
The whole Pacific Northwest has
made great gains in population in the
past nine years. There promises to
be a gain the present year out of all
greater than has ever been !
seen in any previous year in the his,
tory of the Pacific Northwest.

DIAMONDS AND ILL LUCK.

There is a soul Of truth in every
ancient superstition. And the vulgar
notion that there is something baneful
in the possession Of big diamonds is
no exception.
The ill-omened Hope diamond was
sold for a kings ransom last week in
Paris-with shuddering tale hang
ing to 1t of the ruin Of two kings
and many commoners.
OF this malignant jewel, as Of
many others, 1t may be said that its
beauty is no finer than that Of a dew
drop glistening on rose leaf
It's charm, its fascination, lies solely
ia the fact that 1t cost much money,
much labor and much life.
1t is unlucky to have ones mind
distorted, so that one cannot tell
what is worth while and what not.
It is unlucky to be vain and cruel
and to desire nothing but to outshine
ones neighbors.
That is why It is unlucky to own
big diamonds.
