m ACTS About t h e
III New Northwest
3 3 3 . D 3

Northwest Development congress
will meet in Seattle during the first
Week in June. 1t will assemble dele
gates from all parts of the new
northwest"
There has always been a new"
northwest. but before has there
been a section so truly sovereign as
the present in taking unto itself that
title.
1t embraces the entire northern tier
OF states from the Pacific to Lake SUI
perior. In the list are seven great
Observation-Disclosures. Ore
South Dakota and Minnesota.
1t forms almost exactly an immense
continental parallelogram. save for
tho Irregular curse of its southern
boundary. Its north and south lines
are fully 1000 miles in length; its
frontage on the Pacific is 500 miles.
and embraces the mighty straits of
Juan de l'uca and the mouth of the
Columbia river: and its eastern line
is 400 miles long.
When the prospective settler, in
search Of a new home. looks over this
field. he encounters some tremendous
figures. Here is an area equal to one-
fifth of the entire United States. Ii is
amazingly producttvc-yet it contains
only six per cent of the population Of
the country.
Even at that. it enters in far great
cr proportion into the productive total
of the United States. for it produces
~thjrty-fivo per cent of the wheat, tllir-
tN-eight per cent Of the barley, TWEEN
tN-eight per cent of the wool and
ninety-two per cen of the naxsced
each year.
Hence the argument that this por-
tion of the country ought to AFFORD as
good opportunities for the upbuilding
of a home as can be found anywhere
on the face of the earth.
Is the land all taken up? The an
swer may be that the government To-
main is far from what it used to he.
No longer is it possible for A man and
wife to go forth and homestead q sec
ton of land: vet there are vast tracts
of good land awaiting the right kind of
men and wonen
Figures compiled by the Northwest
Development league show that in the
states named there are still $1,000
900 acres of government land: while,
under state and private ownership.
there are $4,000. 900 acres for sale at
$40 an acre and less.
This is the American northwest-the
new northwest" in its latest and
most comprehensive sense. This is
the region which will receive exploita-
ton at the forthcoming convention in

joyce of the Monumental city. "The
burning of the Eutaw house, while
temporarily depriving the convention
committee Of many rooms that were
counted upon, will not he serious. for
it is proposed to have the hotel fitted
up so that it can be utilized for tenn
porary accommodation of the city's
guests. Then there will be the new
accommodations provided for in the
several armories and other buildings.
baltimore probably has as many
small hotels as any city in the east.
Many Of these are moderate priced
houses. but good ones. and they will
be able to take care of Il great many
visitors. There are hundreds of first
class boarding houses all over the city,
and these will provide accommodate
tions for thousands.
Baltimore is famed for it's splendid
hospitality, and we purpose at the
coming convention to make our guests
entirely satisfied with the selection of
Baltimore as the convention city, so
much so that they will come back
again fou years from now"

Miners Should Speak English.

Some few years ago The Mining Re view commented upon the fact tn 1 a number of the leading mining oper- ators of Arizona had decided to give employment to only such men as could speak the English language.
 In view of the labor troubles re- gently experienced in Utah and Me- vada mining camps, it would seem that this decision vas wise one, and one that should be conducive to har- mony, peace and prosperity in the ranks of the common miner, as we'll as in mining circles, generally.
 In nearly every case of strikes and disturbances in mining camps in the west, the incitor to deeds of violence and destruction of property belongs to an alien race; to the individual or in- dividuals who cannot speak the Eng fish language, and who have no clear or adequate idea of the rights of oth- CTS, or of the sacredness of the laws of our land.
 These people come to America be- cause they are led to believe that this is free-oountry. They care not for institutions, and labor under the i'm pression that freedom means the right to trample under foot every law upon our statute books. Lacking in intell- igence and education, they rely upon brute force, and are almost unit in the belief that "mlght makes right" Their tendencies are anarchstic and, with them, reason and justice are blinded by their turbulent natures, and they are so unreasonable that any flimsy excuse is taken as pretext for strikes. riots and destruction of prop erty. And, to such an extent is the rule of violence carried out in some mining sections of the west that the mine owner, the mine manager, is al most afraid to say that his life IS his own.
 For the good of the mining industry, for the welfare of those engaged in this occupation, and for the protection of those who have money invested in mining propositions and enterprises, it would be well if every mine owner. every mine manager, would refuse to give employment to any miner unless he can speak the English language.- Salt Lake Mining Review.
