Amazing Expansions of Great Britain

Amazing Expansions of Great Brlt;sin
 In 17S0 the area of the British for. eign possessions outside and exclusive of the British Isles, but including Can, ada, the West Indies, and India, may be set down as about 31s millions of square miles, with a population of less than two millions of white people and perhaps forty-fiYe millions of colered races. These figures, though little as compared with those of 1899, are yet quite respectable. They were vastly greater than other nations of that time could show. Indeed they are greater than any nation ca1 even now show for foreign possessions. In 1899 the British empire contains over 12 mil- lions Of square miles and 40 millions of population, of whom 55 millions are white people, that is 40 millions irt the mother country, and 15 millions in the colonies, while the remainder are ot colored races. This represents about nearly one5third of the habitable globe and shows an amazing expansion with n the hundred years.

Charity Begins at Home.

Commercial expansion has been
the cry, and still is, of the e.bina
hours of the 10Th century. w,
have been, and are today, reaching
out into the markets of the Orient
for new fields to sell our manu-
features and are sending men into
every part of the world to fin 1
more trade for the products o!
American handwork. Yet within
our borders is an empire capable
OF sustaining vast population
and furnishing a market compris-
ing the best class of buyers in the
world; and all practically at our
very doors. Arid America stands
ready to be annexed. The cost
Of retaining it would Be less by
far than that of solving the Philip
pine problem. There are no for
eign entanglements in connection
with it no treaties to be made, no
armies to be differed. Our
own people would receive the full
benefits and room would be made
Tor even our kindred across the
seas. But the politician and the
in government patronage
sees little in it and American
statesmen are race of men
almost extinct. Men in public life
today are for themselves. A
statesman is for his country.

and his bride out TO the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Jones, near
Denver Immediately after the
marriage ceremony last Wednesday
and to say they had a good time
expresses it mildly. Probably

made welcome with degree of
hospitality which they will long

Money in Cattle Raising.

Senator Roach, of North Dakota
purchased 250O head of cattle on
Camas Prairie a couple of weeks
ago, is now in Oregon after 5000
more of young cattle. He will
ship the cattle in May to his
ranges along the Missouri and
Yellowstone rivers in Montana
and Dakota. He usually paws
SIS and s26 for yearlings and
2-year-olds and when they are
3 years of aye ships to Chicago
getting from $50 to $50 per head
and Often mere OF the Pacific
slope he says Cite raising
here Is a very profitable business
as each COW earns SIS head in
raising a calf. No feeding is re-
quired here and SO this SIS is
almost clear. In Montana and
Dakota we can't raise cattle so
as the seasons are too
severe, and the calves are liable to
die OF cold before becoming strong
enough to travel about.

New Timber Ruling

Acting commissioner of the
general land office Richards has
made a ruling that will cause
trouble in every mining district in
the United States. The ruling is
as follows:
SECTION l states that the act
applies to certain territories and
all other mineral districts of the
United States. The letter con-
tinues:
"The land from which timber
may be felled or removed under
the provisions of this act must be
known to be of strictly mineral
character.
"The privileges granted are
confined to citizens of the United
States and other persons, bona fide
Of the states, territories
and other mineral districts. nro-
vided for in the act.
"The uses for which timber may

be felled or removed are limited by
the wording of the act to building,
agricultural, mining, or other
domestic purposes.
"NO timber is permitted to be
felled or removed for purposes of
sale or traffic, or to manufacture
the same into lumber or other
timber product as an article Of
merchandise, or in any other use
whatsoever except as defined in
section 4 of these rules and regula-
tons.
"No timber cut or removed
under the provisions of this act
may be transported out Of the
state or territory where procured.
"No timber is to lie used for
smelling purposes, smelling being
an entirely separate and distinct
industry from that of mining.
"No growing trees Of any kind
whatsoever less than eight inches
in diameter are permitted to be
cut.
"Persons telling or removing
timber un Ter the provisions Of
this act must utilize all of each
tree cut that can be profitably
used, and must dispose of the tops,
brush and other refuse in such
manner as to prevent the spread of
forest fires.

OF the defendants, who were hold
ing mortgages aggregating upwards
OF $50, 900, a decision has been
handed down by Judge Steele in
favour of the defendants. In this
case plaintiff sought to foreclose a
laborer's lien on the idaho Com
stock company. The defendants
fought the case on the ground
that the lien law of '93 was uncon-
stitutional, and that the lien did
not comply with the provisions of
the 1887 law. The court holds
that the law of 1913 is unconstituti-
onal, that the lien does not comply
with the 'S7 law, and the mortgage
held by the defendants is superior
to claim Of plaintiffs.
This case has attracted consider
able attention because of the
amount involved and also because
OF the points of law raised. The
mortgage held by the Bank of
Camas Prairie covers the claims of
all the laboring men except Sloan,
who would not come in with the
others, thinking his lien good.

A Big Cattle Ranch,

Charles Hall, the cattle man,
returned yesterday from Idaho
county after an absence of two
months. While making his tour
of inspection, he spent considerable
time at Golf, and three miles from
that place secured three thousand
acres of choice grazing land, which
he will fence this season and
thereafter use for stock ranch.
In his trip over the country Mr..
Hall found that little feed was
necessary for either cattle, sheep
or horses, owing to the mildness
OF the weather. Mr.. Halls band

The Approaching Gold Dollar

The Approaching Gold Dollar.
At the close of the Civil war the
farmers of America could have
paid the whole national debt with
about fourteen hundred million
bushels of wheat, or correspond
ing amount of other American
products. After the government
converted the debt into interest
bearing bonds and went on coin
basis, twenty hundred million
bushels of wheat or correspond
ing amount Of other American
products would have paid the
whole national debt. We have
been paying at that debt for thirty
five years, besides having paid the
interest; yet today it will take
more wheat and more of American
products to pay what is left of
that debt than it would have taken
to pay it at the close of the war,
and more even than it would have
taken to pay it after we had gone
onto a coin basis. This is what
the gold standard has done for
us. We are paying interest on
national, state, city, railroad,
farm and other debts in 5O-cent
products, when we should be
getting 81.
