can Empire of Opportunity" is
the heading under which he makes
this forecast and gives the reasons
for it, in the May issue of The Mon

"A veritable Empire of Opportun-

the bonds of modern life, expressed
through business and markets, draw
them closer together. More and
more, the northwest and the inter
mountain regions are looking to the
markets, both foreign and domestic,
of California and the Pacific north
west in the disposal of their cattle
and hogs and grain; of their manu-
featured products-copper wire and
cable from Montana; rails and nails
and other iron and steel products

rapidly developing industries of the
Pacific coast for finished goods.

California, the wonder state of
sunshine and flowers, is c~ontending
now with the hoof and mouth dis

amazing future holds in store for it,
he present situation is a mere an
