The reports of special agents of the

have existed organizations among capt.
talists to obtain control of vast tracts of
timber and agricultural land. The re-
ports state that the public domain is
fast disappearing under this system. A
number of oils have been introduced to
check this practice, notable among them
being propositions to repeal what are
known as the timber and pre-emption
laws. 1t is very evident that the days

There is a good deal of suggestion and

Mormon supply comes. The great body
of MOrmons ecme from England, Scot
land, Wales, Denmark, Sweden, and
Norway. England has supplied in
round numbers, 20, 900 ofthem; Scotland,
$500; Wales, 2,400; Sweden, $3.50; Dem
mark, 1871; Norway, 1900; Ireland,
1900. About the character of this Brit
ish and Danish contribution there is
very little doubt both the men and the
women belong to a low, ignorant peasant
class. The same thing is true, though
probably in a less degree, of the Scan
