THE MAGNIFICENT WEST

The Pacific northwest makes won. derful apeal to every, visitor, and as he tarries the appeal brings conviction. 1t is marvellous country. lt is a land of living waters, of golden soil of min eral wealth beyond comprehension; of forests which will bless mankind when other lands are desolate; hand of mountain, plain and valley; land where continent and ocean embrace each other, and of n people great in intellect, energy, endurance and kindli- ness. Its people! They were chosen by the most rigid process of natural selcc- tion that have made America great. In that golden northwest, is a climate which without the harshness of the north or the enervating softness of the south encourages human effort and as sists in accomplishments. these people are bnilding an empire They have har- messed the streams for power; they have poured them over the plains which they have converted into fruitful fields and gardens they are wrestling from the earth its mineral wealth; they are converting it's forests into forms of utility and beauty and at the same time preserving them from destruction; they are building schools and colleges and are living like princes of the earth. The Bible vision of every man dwell ing under his own vine and fig tree is realized there. where every man may have a snow capped mountain peak in his back yard and where his every bod fly need and intellectual want may be gratifed. The natural wealth of that country is great and great are it's achievements in every line of human eff fort, but greater and better than all are its people themselves--a chosen race, growing not only in numbers but in all the accomplishments and graees which make a people mutually useful and happy.

Hsrriman's Attorney Fears Congress Will Fail to Reimburse Rail
 road Magnate

WASHINGTON, D. C., January 22.- The attorneys of E. H. Hartman are alarmed at the possibility of failure on the part of the congressional com. mittee on claims to allow even DOT. ton of the remuneration asked by the railroad king for work done by his road in curbing the Colorado river, where it broke it's banks and threatened Imperial Valley.
 The claim has been reduced to ST.. 0s3,673.97, but there is no indication or desire on the part of the legislators to take up the matter, although ii merely needs authorization to insure its payment. President Roosevelt has told congress that he called on Harri- man to do the work.
 Should the committee on claims fail to act soon there is possibility that the claim will fail of passage.
