ATTITUDE AND POPULATION.
Density Of Population Moving Towsr'

Density Of Population Moving Toward
the Higher Regions.
The Census Bureau has ISSUED bulle-
tin on the distribution of population in
accordance with altitude II appears
that in the area below 500 Ofeetismcluded
nearly all that part of the population
which is engaged in manufacturing and
in the foreign commerce of the country
and most of that engaged in the culture
of cotton. rice, and sugar. The Interval
between 500 feet and 500 feet comprises
the greater part of the prairie States
and grain producing States OF the North.
west. East of the 0sth meridian 1850
feet is practically the upper limit Of pop
ulation, all the country lying above tiat
elevation being mountainous. The pop
ulation between 1900 and 5000 feet is
found mainly on the slope of the great.
Western plains. Above 5000 feet irriga,
tiun is almost universally necessary for
su cess in agricultural operations.
lietween 1000 and 5000 feet, and more
m rkadly between 5000 and go feet,
the population is decidedly in excess Of
the grade OF grades below it. This is
mainly di.o to the fact that the densest
settlement at high attitudes in the Cor
dilleran region is at the eastern base Of
the Rocky Mountains and in the valleys
about Great Salt Lake, which regions lie
between 1000 and 5000 feet. OF these
the extensive settlements at the base of
the mountains in Colorado are mainly be-
tween 5000 and 5000 feet.
Above G,000 feet the population, which
is confined Of course, to the Cordilleran
region, is almost entirely engaged in the
pursuit of mining, and the greater part
Of il is located in Colorado, New Mexico,
Nevada, and California,
While the population is increasing nu-
merically in all attitudes, its relative
movement is decidedly toward the region
Of Greater attitudes, and is most marked
between the country lying between 900
an3 G,O00 feet above the sea.
The density Of population is greatest
near sea level in that narrow strip along
the seaboard which contains our great
soaports. The density diminishes grad
ually and rather uniformly up to 1000
feet, whore the population becomes.quite
sparse.
The average elevation of the country,
excluding Alaska, is about $500 feet.
The average elevation at which the in
habitants lived taking cognizance Of
their distribution, was 687 feet in 1870 !;
in 1880 it had increased to 739 feet, and
in 1890 to 1883 feet.

HE commissioner of a%gricultu 9 and
labor str, ngly recommends an appropri-
alton by the state for maintaining far
mers' institutes, and a bill for a small
appropriation to be devoted to that pur-
pose has already been introduced. The
report, concerning this matter, goes on
to say: 1.-THE farmers of North Dakota
cannot afford to experiment, individually,
as to many crops and processes that
need practical demonstration, and in
structing them in such matters by means
of well-conducted farmers institutes,
and the bulletins and reports published
in connection with them, will cost hardly
a fraction Of the amount that would be
wasted by the individual farmers obtain
ing the same knowledge experimentally."
The TRIBUNE is aware that necessity de.
mands a close scanning of appropriation
bills; but Commissioner Helgesen has
had ample opportunities for learning the
wants of the farmers, and his recommen-
dations in this respect are certainly
entitled to careful consideration.

all. All attempts have been futile. IN
doubtedly the people would endorse the
expenditure of a reasonable sum for this
work, but somehow the legislatures fail
many other states the laws are published
in the newspapers, and SO popular has it
become that the people would not think
of doing away with it. The governor of
Washington, in his message to the !egis-
lature, devoted a strong paragraph to
this subject, urging that provision for
publishing the laws in the newspapers
be made.

UNLESS resubmission could be fol-
lowed up in this session of the legisla-
ture by a repeal oil the penalty clause in
the present prohibitory law-thereby
practically leaving the control of the
liquor traffic under our old territorial
laws-then high license gains a very i'm
portant victory. This being the status
the o repeal of the penalty clause in
the present law-then the high license
men would be just as we'll off with the
whole question put over until next ses-
sion. The present law must be enforced
in any event until the next legislature.
II that body, elected on the issue, would
pass a resubmission resolution, it would
also pass a high license law and repeal
the present ukase at the same time.
This being so, then high license would
come just as soon as it would if resub-
mission carried now, the only difference
being the postponement for two years
longer Of the vote upon the question.

The value of coal is reckoned by the
per cent. of fixed carbon it contains.
The coal of Iowa-average of sixty-four
samples-is 1912, while the coal of North
Dakota - twenty-six samples - contains
All per cent. of fixed carbon. Thus it
will be seen that North Dakota coal is
nearly as good as that of Iowa. When
the people of this state and other states
come to know these facts-come to know
all the advantages which North Dakota
possesses-there will be a great influx of
capital and a wonderful impetus given to
manufacturing.

citizen Of North Dakota. No person is

business than has been the deputy col.

twenty-five years in the employ of the

those regarding churches and Sunday

with the commissioner but with the

bishops of the Catholic and Episcopal
churches we're urged by a second appli-

churches do not appear in the report,

also not as complete as they might be.
