consider that the Pacific States cover an area of over seven hundred thousand square miles, and that there were, according to the twelfth census, within this area, only about three million people, it is not difficult to see that there is room left for more. "There is no more startling illustration, although it is one frequently used, than to compare the meagre population of this region with that of other sections of the United States and with European countries. As compared with our seven hundred thousand square miles and three million people, New York state has an area of forty-nine thousand square miles and a population of over seven millions; Pennsylvania an area of over forty-five thousand square miles and a population of more than six millions. In the elder countries of Europe the difference is still more marked; for example: France with two hundred and four thousand square miles, has thirty-eight million inhabitants. Holland has five million persons within the small area of twelve thousand six hundred and eighty square miles or in an area of less than a fifth of the size of the State of Washington. Of course these places have been a long time accumulating these people and our section of the world is young yet. So I say with you people of Tacoma, WATCH US GROW! And we are growing. "The Pacific States have had a wonderful impetus, especially during the last few years, and I predict that the prosperity that we are now..." size of the State of Washington. Of course these places have been a long time accumulating these people and our section of the world is young yet. So I say with you people of Tacoma, WATCH US GROW! And we are growing. "The Pacific States have had a wonderful impetus, especially during the last few years, and I predict that the prosperity that we are now enjoying will continue and increase. INCREASED RAILROAD FACILITIES "Even now our railroad transportation facilities are inadequate to the demand caused by the rapidly increased passenger travel and the increased volume of freight to be moved. The railroad companies are constantly adding equipments and new railroads are coming in. There will be need for all that come. There is a great significance in the constant extension of railroad construction, both steam and electric, in the interior, making the large markets more accessible to the producer on whom we mainly depend for our prosperity. PUBLICITY AND STATE CO-OPERATION "As I said in the beginning, it is necessary for us in this comparatively new country to advertise its resources to the world. The Tacoma Chamber of Commerce has undertaken to do this for Tacoma, and has done good work, as the results show. In California there are over hundred and fifty Chambers of Commerce and development organization, all of which are centralized in the California Promotion Committee, and this method works well in California. It has brought all sections of the State into closer relationship and has removed all local prejudices, so that now there is one united effort to promote the interests of California. The people are firm in the belief that what benefits one section of the State benefits the entire State, and the result has been greater progress in the last three years than in a decade before. With the beneficial results of this sentiment before us and recognizing, as relationship and has removed all local prejudices, so that now there is one united effort to promote the interests of California. The people are firm in the belief that what benefits one section of the State benefits the entire State, and the result has been greater progress in the last three years than in a decade before. With the beneficial results of this sentiment before us and recognizing, as we all must, that the interests of all the Pacific States are closely identified, it is now proposed to extend this co-operation and invite all of the States west of the Rocky Mountain watershed to unite as one great family and form an association having for its object the upbuilding of the Pacific States. By creating an interest in this section of the country and by bringing desirable people this way, the best results will be reached. For we know that those that come will somewhere within the borders find a satisfactory abode. With local organizations all working on business lines for the several localities, but without prejudice to any other locality, and these local organizations centralized in a State organization, and the seven State organizations represented in a Pacific States Association having for its object the advancement of all these States, there will come into being a factor that will accomplish great things for our betterment collectively and individually. Consider for a moment what an influence such an institution would have in Congress, through our representatives there. Our Senators and Congressmen would be greatly fortified in the good work they are doing by having behind them the sentiment of a united people. So that, for instance, when something in the way of Federal aid for any of the Pacific States is desired, all the other States would by concerted action urge the securing of it. That is the way they have done and are doing in other sections of the country. With our representation at Washington, limited at best, the necessity of joining forces is all the more apparent. So I say again, let us all get together, co-operate and DO things for this great section of the country." AN ODD EPITAPH. George Ritter Likened Himself to a Wornout Watch. "Franklin's epitaph, where he compared himself to an old book, is known to all of us," said an antiquary. "Here is a copy of a less famous epitaph, the epitaph of a watchmaker, George Ritter, who compared himself to a watch that had run down." The man took out his notebook. "George Ritter," he said, "lived in New Hampshire in the town of Newport. He died in 1822." Then he read: "Here lies, in horizontal position, the outside case of George Ritter, whose abiding place in that line was an honor to his profession. Integrity was his mainspring and prudence the regulator of all the actions of his life. Humane, generous and liberal, his hand never stopped till he had relieved distress.

Integrity was his mainspring and prudence the regulator of all the actions of his life. Humane, generous and liberal, his hand never stopped till he had relieved distress. He never went wrong except when set a-going by people who did not know his key. Even then he was easily set right again. He had the art of dispensing of his time so well that his hours glided by in one continual round of pleasure and delight till an unlucky minute put an end to his existence. He departed this life Sept. 11, 1822. His case rests and molders and decays beneath the sod, but his good works will never die."—Philadelphia Bulletin. SUNDAY MARKETS. They Were Held In England Even Before the Conquest. According to the Domesday book, a Sunday market was held at St. Germans, Cornwall, even before the conquest, though it was soon rendered of little value owing to the establishing of another on an adjacent piece of ground by the Conqueror's half brother. From the conquest right on to the time of Henry VII, and in a few cases longer these Sunday markets were common. We find records of them at Bradford, Worcester, Battle, Launceston and parts of Durham, Lancashire and Lincolnshire. Launceston in 1206 gave King John 5 marks for a license to change the day to Thursday. Battle did pretty much the same thing. Despite an act of parliament in 1449 abolishing them some disregarded the act and continued Sunday fairs until 1800. In Wigton, Cumberland, the butchers on Sunday did a roaring trade close to the church doors. It was no uncommon thing for worshipers to bring their joints to church with them and hang them over the pew fronts. The priest, unable to stop the custom, posted to London and got the market day changed to Tuesday.—London Mall. ENGLISH FACTORY LAWS. Brought About by Pititable Conditions In Cotton Factories.

The first English factory laws were made in 1802 and were enacted mainly because of the pitiable condition of the young pauper children employed in the Lancashire cotton factories. An outbreak of fever in the Radcliffe Cotton works, 1784, was traced by Manchester doctors to overcrowded and insanitary factories and the long hours of the workers. The magistrates made an attempt to lessen the evils, but in spite of their success in slightly reducing the hours of labor things grew worse and other epidemics occurred. The Manchester board of health took the matter up in 1796 and urged the necessity of legislation to deal effectively with it. Public interest was aroused, and further revelations of the flagrant ill treatment of apprentices so deeply stirred public feeling that in 1802 Sir Robert Peel brought in a bill known as the "health and morals of apprentices act," which was passed without difficulty and placed on the statute book. Cheerful Philosophy. When I could not obtain large pleasures I put together as many small ones as possible. Small pleasures, depend upon it, lie about as thick as daisies in summer and for that very reason are neglected, trodden under foot, instead of being worn in our buttonholes. We cannot afford to buy roses at Christmas or camellias at any time, and so we couple buttercups with vulgarity, and things that grow in the hedge side we let wither where they grow for no other reason than that the king's highway is not a royal garden.—Woman's Life.
