.icconiniodations arc ([uito inadequate to<br />

meet even the comparatively sHi;ht demand<br />

aroused in this splendid territory. It is<br />

hoped, and there is<br />

believed to be a good<br />

UCH have I travell'd in the realms of gold,<br />

And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;<br />

Round many v.'estern islands have I been<br />

Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.<br />

Then felt I like some watcher of the skies<br />

When a new planet swims into his ken ;<br />

Or like stout Cortex when with eagle eyes<br />

He stared at the Pacific, and all his men<br />

Look'd at each other with a wild surmise.<br />

Silent, upon a peak in Darien.<br />
