Northumberland Needed

How to bring together the men of
many western states, who are wishing for
wives, and the women of several eastern
communities who would marry If the op-
portunity presented itself, is an interest
ing problem which yet awaits solution.
Various expedients are resorted to by
these involuntary western celebrates to
extricate themselves from the horrors of
their lonely situation, but except in
isolated cases they have not been at
tended with success The most common of
these is the employment of the matri-
monial agencies in large cities, but these
establishments are not. as a rule, in the
best repute, so that only the imprudent
patronlze them. At the national immigra-
ton depot in the city of New York, hun
dreds of letters are annually received
from wiveless westerners, entreating the
manager to select life partners for them
and forward the elected to the loving
hearts and embracing arms awaiting
them thousands of miles away. This Is
waste of time. which would better have
been given to the cultivation of the po-
tato patch The advertising columns of
the newspapers very often prove most
effective much more so than is general
~ supposed but the statistics of alliances
contracted through this instrumentality
have never been collected.
All these devices and stratagems are,
however, utterly inadequate to accom-
plish the ends in view. The fact Is the
undertaking Is a stupendous one. LOOK
at some of the cold, hard figures con-
neeted with it. To begin with Massa-
chusetts. In that commonwealth are
very nearly one hundred thousand more
females than males, while out IN ioaho
the ratio of men to women, IS IN Iouhu
figures, about four to three. In the hour-
ishing young state of Washington, the
gentler sex Is the great want-fifty tnou-
