This section includes the famous ‘‘ Lookout Rock’’ which gives one 
of the most magnficient sea views on the North Shore. Several of the 
ledges offer views almost as fine. The immense oaks and pines have 
been carefully protected and are not paralleled in this vicinity. The plans 
have been made by Mr. Stephen Child of Boston, landscape architect. 
From Boston to Montserrat Highlands in thirty minutes; from Sa- 
lem, ten; from Beverly, three; from Pride’s Crossing and Beverly Farms, 
five minutes, as ‘‘Shore Land’’ has increased so enormously in value and 
is practically out of the market, this tract which is the entrance to the 
North Shore will be taken up next and the present low values rapidly in- 
creasing, offers a safe and profitable investment. Bungalow and _ house 
lots are from $500 to $3,000 a quarter of an acre to 1 1-2 acres. Larger 
plots for estates. 
Salt laden pine air and the nearness to rail and electrics, with charm- 
ing walks and drives to woodlands and beaches, will tempt buyers of 
summer homes and residents of the crowded towns in the vicinity. Mrs. 
Henry Peabody’s residence, nearly completed, is a striking illustration of 
what may be accomplished in the way of adaption to the natural beauties 
of the location. For particulars inquire of

The opposition to the admission as 
States of the Territories of Arizona 
and New Mexico, made apparent the 
| powerful coalition of New England 
| Senators, who have for many years 
| practically controlled legislation .in 
| the upper House-of the National 
legislature, against any increase of 
the representation of the far West in 
_ the Senate. Such increase threatens 
to disturb the balance of power. It 
_ is destructive of the sense of security 
and strength which these ancient and 
| proud lawmakers have rejoiced in. 
Therefore it was decreed that the 
young giants out on the borderland 
| of civilization;—as the ‘‘effete East’’ 
is pleased to regard it,—should stand 
at the closed door and wait with 
patience until they could force it 
wide enough so that they could enter 
and join the charmed circle. 
The West has long had reason to 
complain of the attitude of the Kast 
toward it. -When it has wished for 
recognition it has had to go hat in 
hand, and beg for what it has known 
to be its rights. The West, however, 
is fast coming into its own. It is get- 
ting power and strength and there- 
with, influence. Its demands will 
soon be voiced in firm tones, and it 
will have the might to enforce them. 
‘‘The men who come to Washington 
to represent in Congress those hardy 
people, who at the same time are 
cultured and  enterprising,’’ re- 
marked a prominent Western Sena- 
- 
tor recently, ‘‘are beginning to feel 
that the West and the South,—a 
region which also has long suffered 
at the hands of New England,— 
should unite and form a combination 
for both aggression and defense. In 
many respects the West and the 
South have interests alike. In many 
respects they~ have sympathies in 
common. Both have great resources, 
and both need men and money to 
hasten their development. The East 
is making overtures to the South, but 
the interests of that region lie closer 
to the fortunes of the West. Both 
should work together, and then both 
will .better sueceed in getting the 
recognition which has _ heretofore 
been largely denied them.
