The Problem of Population.

ht Oh
What the term "ail men means as
applied to the inhabitants OF the Unit
ed States Of the future suggests some
Of the stupendous problems Of the next
century. II the population grows as it
has done the past 20 years. the coun-
try Will contain in the year 1000 about
4OO,000000 souls. At present Onefourth
of the population live in cities of %
600 and upward, and doubtless another
fourth Of the whole live i'm touch with
the material comforts of our time, but
as the population grows in density
there will be more people within Il Civ
Ell area to share the expense Of inn
proyements. At present it is only in
the cities that people enjoy the privi-
legeS of fine hotels, of running water,
Of public lighting. of theaters. libra
ries, lyceums and the best facilities for
education and worship. And there are
bat lJ0 cities i'm the land having as
many rs $4,000 inhabitants Some cit

even some progressive towns may have
at command the best things Of life.
But i'm the future there will be circuits
of large towns I'm close communication
with one another and at some central
point may be located everything that
man can sigh for in the way OF mate

Taxing Recreation.

The state fish commissioner has a
plan to propagate trout through legis-
lative enactment to create hatcheries.
To raise revenues it is proposed to i'm
pose license fee of 81 for the privilege
of fishing in the trout streams OF the
state, while non-residents would be
taxed $40 for casting fly. That might
be all right for the rod and gun club de-
voices, but to the ordinary individual
who can occasionally afford to take a
day off and buy . basket of fish, after
splashing up and down some creek for
few hours, the demand for dollar
from the state brings the sport up above
market value. There is also bill be-
fore the legislature to tax the sportsman
on every gun, which makes the i'm
post on those who occasionally take a
day OF relaxation come little high.
The small boy with the willow twig or
a young sapling will catch the fish and
knock down the birds all the same, and
the state will not be able to cinch him.

At Larson's Theatre, Friday evening,
Feb. %, the first presentation in this
city OF "The Rounders," the latest and
claimed to be, the greatest New York
Casino success since the "Belle of New
York" 1t is an adaptation from a
French farce made by Harry B. Smith,
with original lyrics and musical set
ting by Ludwig Highlander. 1t held the
boards at the New York Casino for over
five months last spring and summer,
and will be presented here by almost
identically the same company as made
it success there. Thos. q. Seabrooke,
who will be pleasantly remembered by
reason OF his various successes here in
the past, is at the head of the organiza-
ton. He is comedian who is original,
unique and humorous in whatever part
he portrays. The Casino management

Homes for Homeless waits.

The Home Finder society has placed
in each Of the banks in this city neat
and attractive glass globes for the receipt
of contributions to this worthy cause.
These globes are very catchy device,
as all the nickles, dimes, quarters, etc.,
dropped through the slot are plainly
visible; and as it is human nature to
emulate or initiate, many contribution
finds its way into the repositories which
never would be put into closed
box with the contents out of sight.
Speaking of the local board organized
here, the Northwestern Home Finder,
published at Spokane, says:
Mrs. w. A. Bell, corresponding secre-
tary of the North Yakima local board,
sent dime card book filled and said the
children were very anxious to have the
buttons when the cards were filled.
The members OF the Yakima board are
Mrs. Edward Whitson, president Mrs.
Alex Miller, first vice president; Mrs.
James Fraser, second vice president
Mrs. G. NJ. Mckinney, third vice presi-
dent; Mrs. II. B. Rigg, recording secre-
tary; Mrs. w. A. Bell, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. T. b. Gum, treasurer.
The board meets the first Monday of
each month at the home of the presi-

THE BEAUMONT GUsHER.-The great
gushing we'll near Beaumont, Texas, is
creating considerable interest in the
Southwest. The well far eclipses any
ever drilled in the United States, and
the output is 1000 barrels daily great
er than the largest gushing well IN
Russia. 1t is estimated that this now
exceeds $4,000 barrels every "a hours,
and the flow is constantly increasing IN
volume. This Is due to the fact that
when the oil was struck the iron cas-
ing was blown out Of the hole, and the
size Of the hole gradually increased. A
solid six-inch stream Of oil shoots into
the air to a height of 200 feet. 1t Is
thought that the only way to save the
oil Is by dirt reservoirs, and they are
being constructed as rapidly as possi-
BILE, in order than none of the oil may
be wasted. AS Is usual in such cases,
almost fabulous prices are being paid
for almost waste lands The well is
attracting great attention, and Is be-
ing visited by thousands of people.
The new we'll has served to depress
prices in the oil market.

You want land. You realize that land is

and hold it 10 or 20 years-even if you
should not make any money by farming
the farm will make you rich. A farm tribu-

because of its nearness to market and be-

Where else in America will you find grass,
