Excerpt from Who's Who on the Pacific Coast: A Biographical Compilation of Notable Living Contemporaries West of the Rocky Mountains The territory west of the Rocky Mountains known as the Pacific Coast is still in the early stages of its making. It is only a few years since population has grown to any considerable extent. The people who are settling in these states today are making history just as those hardy pioneers who fought their way over deserts and mountains and plains made it fifty years ago in the face of tremendous obstacles con quering them as they arose. During the last few years laws have been placed upon the statute books in the Western States that have attracted and won the admiration of the world. The cause of humanity has fared better in the West than in any other part of the globe. Civilization has made greater strides. It has been the history of the human race that the pioneers have been the reformers, and it is natural that the Pacific Coast should be looked to to produce America's greatest men.
