SOME CENSUS FIGURES.

The census Office has issued its
complete bulletin of the popula-
ton of the United States, by states
and territories, by the census count
of 1900. The exact population is
76.3O3,387. Among the several
states and territories, Oklahoma
shows the largest percentage of
increase since 1890. The ter
ritory Of Oklahoma was opened to
settlement in May, 1889, and at the
census taken one month later, in
June 1890, had a population of
1875, including 1854 Indians
and other persons specially
enumerated but not included in
the general report on population
at that census. At the census of
1900 it had q population of $685.
33l, or an increase since 1890 of
1865 per cent; in other words, its
population in 1900 is more than
five times as large as the entire
population returned in 1890. The
second largest percentage of in
crease in population since 1890 is
found in Indian territory, being
somewhat more than 100 per cent.
The population of Indian ter
ritory was specially enumerated
in 1890, but no part of the popula-
ton thus enumerated was included
in the general report on popula-
ton. There were $50, 1872 Indians
and other persons enumerated in
Indian territory in 1890, but this

In years past the farmers of
North Dakota were much given to
having anything but fellow feeling
toward Jim Hill, and If the state
mont had been ventured that he
was q benefactor to the producer
it would have been hooted at. The
recent move Of the railroad magaate
in taking delegations of farmers
free of charge to inspect the state
agricultural college has helped
some to remove the barrier that
once kept from the view Of the
farmer the fact Jim HilIsinterests
and those of the producer were
Identical where the development
and the progress of the state are
concerned. Tho farmer who
thinks that the president of the
Ct. Northern wears horns is by
no means up-to-date.

WHEAT TRANSPORTATION.

If the experiment chat is to be
made of shipping wheat from
Oklahoma to Europe by way of
Port Arthur should prove a
success it would have very i'm
portant bearing on the price of
that product in the course Of a
few years-if not, indeed i'm
mediately. The cost of transporta-
ton of grain is the principle
factor in the price Of the product
after it has left the hands of the
producer-and, indeed, it has a
great deal to do with making the
price the farmer. gets for his grain.
The principal object of those
economists who have to deal with
the handling of wheat is to get
the grain into a ship bottom as
soon as possible. 1t costs
practically nothing per,bushel to
transport wheat after it is loaded
into deep water vessel. James
J. Hill recognized this fact some
years ago and laid tbs foundation
for his great success by acting
upon it. He saw the possibilities
of the prairies of the northwest.
He also recognized the fact that
rail haul Of the product of those
prairies to the eastern coast would
retard the development of North
Dakota and the west indefinitely
He went at once into the project oil
developing the carrying capacity
Of the vessels on the great lakes
and in few years has developed
the possibilities of these states, as
wheat growers, almost to the
limit.

NO THIRD TERN.

/. It is not 90 long ago since the
question was under liberation
whether . given man: il public life
was better than his party. The
discussion might reasonably
enough bs revived regarding
President Mckinley, in view Of
his recent declaration against q
third term. The declaration itself
has the distinct merit Of being
snmistakable. Yhs president ia
not and will not be q candidate fol-
a third term, and in the event Of
his nomination would refuse to
accept. That is his position, and
it leaves nothing to be wished fol
by those who are opposed the
principle Of . third term. There
is disappointment rather than
citation among those who are il
the leadership of the party at the
sudden ending of a very promis.
ing movement. It is not likely
that the American public will be
deceived by the acclamatione
which now prevail at the presi.
dents refusal. It is a long cry te
the next republican national con
vention. But the men who have
managed things for us during the
past four years or over many not
be expected to let the grass grow
beneath their feet in selecting 9
man who will answer their pur.
poses quite as we'll as Mckinley
has.

1t may interest those who are
figuring on buying school land at
the sale which will be held in this
county this fall to know that they
cannot, even if they wish to, pay
all cash FOR the land. The state
will accept but twenty per cent of
the purchase price of the land at
the time of the sale. The balance
is payable in four installments at
intervals of FIVE years, the last
payment being due twenty years
from the date of sale. The de-
ferred payments draw interest at
the rate of six per cent and tho
land becomes taxable as soon as
sold. It is stated that about
forty-fve sections will be sold in
this county.

JUST now when SO much is be-
ing said about small pox it will be
interesting TO know that the
average death rate from that
disease in the United States, com
puted upon the cases reported TO
the national board of health is
is only l.3l per cent. There are
undoubtedly thousands of cases
that never come to the notice of
physicians, which would reduce
the death rate to 1 per cent, or
less. The disease is universally
very mild and there is no reason
to become greatly exercised about
it. The only sensible thing to do
is to take every precaution to pre-
vent it from spreading.

this time Prot. Bolsy, Of the
agricultural college faculty, in :
recently issued bulletin says:
Flax has boon injured in 80 many
ways this spring that / am not
certain that you have q case Of the
disease which I mentioned in my
previous circular. Much Of II has
been cutoff by cut worms just ct
the surface of the ground, flea
beetles, young grasshoppers, etc.
The disc drill seems to have de-
stroyed moro flax than all other
causes, putting it down 80 deep in
the mellow ground that there is
no hope of it's ever getting to the
surface with strength enough to
live when it strikes the dry upper
soil. I have seen large fields
which, l am not quite certain, have
been ruined by deep planting, the
young plants dying off when they
got within one-half or one.fourth
of an inch of the surface of the
ground. 1t will take the people
some time to learn that flax can be
planted too deep, but / think
many of them will learn it this
spring.
