they will go to work. He tells her
where he will meet her when she is

with little ceremony, rows back to the

In this civic atmosphere Samuel Shack

v.ronment his son, Noel Shacklett, was
born just in time to report his arrival be-

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 9.-The cele.
brated Hole-in-the.W Wall will in a short
time be only a remembrance. The
hole has been the refuge OF outlaws
from Arizona, Utah, Montana, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming. and was practi.
cally inaccessible. II lies in the
southwestern part OF Johnson county
and directly in line of county road
which Is soon TO be built. The Hole

mite will be used TO widen the fissure
in the red sandstone cliff. The Hole
in.the.wall Is the only entrance from
the south TO a beautiful and rich val.
ley and must be used TO prevent
days detour. Another mark in the
passing OF Hole-in-the-walI is a petit
tion which has been sent into the
rostoffice department asking for the
establishment Of a postoffice at the
Houk ranch almost in the mouth of
the hole. The settlement of the coun.
try has been rapid since the hole ceas-
ed to be a refuge for bandits and
there are now enough residents to
make a postoffice a necessity.

SEC. LONG
MAY RETIRE
J. D. Long May Retire From the Sec.
retaryship Of the Navy Depart
ment About the 18th.
CRANE MAY FILL THE POSITION
The Governor of Massachusetts, Will
in All Probability be Offered
the Portfolio.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Governor
William Murray Crane ofMassachsetts
Will probably succeed John ID. Long
as secretary OF the navy department.
Mr.. Long will retire about April 18th.
Governor Crane arrived in Wash.
ington today and had long confer
ence with the president and Secretary
Long.
From a usually reliable source
comes the statement that Governor
Crane had been offered the navy port
folio. Whether he had ascented could
not be learned. but there is reason to
believe that he has or that he will do
so.
Nothing regarding the purpose of
the visit TO the white house could be
learned from Governor Crane himself.
Secretary Long said he knew nothing
oi the matter. Governor Crane came
to Washington at the request of the
president.
At the white house he met Mr..
Henry c. Payne, the new postmaster
general, and Senator Spooner of Wis
oonsin. Later. he went to the navy
department and was closeted with
Secretary Long. Secretary Long. a
short time later. called at the white
houshe and saw the president
Governor Crane some time ago de-
clined the portfolio Of the treasury de-
rartment as successor to Mr. Gage on
the ground that the acceptance of that
position would involve too great a
financial sacrifice. II is believed that
these objections have been overcome,
however.
President Roosevelt wants a New
England man in the cabinet. He is
al admirer of Governor Crane. whom
he regards as able to fll any posi-.
tion under the government.

AN INCREASE in POPULATION.
The United States Has Grown Sixteen
Fold In the Last 100 Years.

Washington, Jan 1.-The total pop.
ulation of the United States at the
close of the nineteenth century was
about S4,250,000. AS the population
OF the United States at the beginning
OF the century was about $3.50, 900,
the nation has grown nearly sixteen
fold in 100 years. There are but
three countries which have a greater
population than the United States,
viz: China, the British empire and
the Russian empire.
China and the British empire have
each of them. probably between $780,
100000 and i00,OOO,0O0, or, together,
nearly one-half of the total population
OF, the earth.
The Russian empire, with about
131, 100000 people, has more than half
as many again as the United States,
and has been increasing during the
century just closed with greater ra-
pidity than any other European power.
Its growth, like that of the United
States, has been partly through the
natural increase of its population, and
partly through great accessions of ter
ritory. 1t had about 3S,SOO,OOO in
1900 and had increased more than
three and one-half times during the
nineteenth century.
France, including its dependencies,
is the fifth country of the world in
order of population and has about
S3,650,000, or almost the same number
as the United States. OF these over
25,0O0,000 are in African dependen-
cies, nearly 100000 in Asia, and
100000 in Madagascar.
These five most populous countries
together include over two-thirds of
the estimated population of the world.

Shaw Makes Good Impression.

Washington, Jan. s. Governor
Shaw has made a decidedly good i'm
preston at the national capital The
most important fact that has develop
ed during his conferences with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Gage is
that the new secretary of the treas
try has come here without any
schemes, without any pet plans to put
into operation, that his administra-
tion of the great financial department
is not to be marked by any innova-
tions or experiments, and that he will
cndeavor to continue absolutely un-
broken" the policy of his predeces-
sor.
If anyone has had doubts as to the
conservatism and wisdom of the new
secretary of the treasury he need
doubt no longer. 1t is a strange fact
that eastern men are proverbially
suspicious of western financiers, es-
pecially western men who have had
no metropolitan experience. This in
nate suspiciousness attached itself to
Governor Shaw and was aided by the
part of the press which sought to Gre
ate the impression that he was a Dav-
i'd Harum-Scarum ruralite, a financier
from the prairies. Hence the assur-
ance now given in authoritative fash
ion that as secretary of the treasury
Mr.. Shaw will follow the safe and nor
NAL track may relieve some anxiety
in the east; no such assurance was
needed in the west.
