Seward in 1852, before there was a railway or teiegrapn on any ; Pacific Starboard or a line of steamships or any regular com- j merce with the Orient while Alaska was yet an unknown fro zen land, and Japan and China, save for a few ports forced open to commerce, sealed to entrance and wrapped in barbaric conceit, and Australia was still the land of the black bushman: "Hence forth European commerce, Euro pean politics, European, thought and European activity, although actually gaining force and Euro pean connections, although actu ally becoming more intimate, will nevertheless relatively sink in importance while the Pacific Ocean its shores, its islands, and the vast region beyond will be come the chief theater of events in the world's great hereafter."

This was more than four times the number yield ed four years ago and the trees are 8 and 9 years old. Mr. Vanderbilt had not noticed the particularly large crop on the trees of the early varieties and last week he left the ranch for a couple of days giving orders to gather the Gravensteins and Wealthies the day he left. He was somewhat chagrined to find the crop not all in when he re turned two days later, but was agreeably surprised to find . that he had about three times as much fruit as he had expected. Hood River Glacier. Opening Of Canal Pacific Ocean Event It is fitting that the Western States should support San Fran cisco's claims as the proper site for holding celebration in hon or of the opening of the Panama Canal.
