i CHANGE IN TEXAS.

They used to say of Texas, When every other land rejects us, This is the soil that freely takes us." Texas has been taking people for a long time, but she isn't by any means filled up. yet. Next September the State of Texas will negotiate land deal which will give another object lesson in the immensity of this country. An area larger than many European principali- ties and larger than the State of Mas sachusetts will be sold to bona-fide settlers, and a residence for three years is necessary to perfect a title. In all, 94O0 square miles will be offer ed, the land having been leased hereto fore for many years to cattlemen for grazing purposes. And after this land is sold Texas will still have left 18,0OO square miles, which is leased to the ranchmen. The terms of sale are these: "The State will give every pur- chaser forty years time to complete payments and charge only per cent annual interest. However. no single individual will be allowed to acquire more than eight sections. The mini mum price of $1 an acre has been set upon these lands but quite a per cent. of them will bring from S2 to $5 an acre, according to accessibility"
 A great State in great country. A growing State in growing country. Just pause for a moment and think what by and by will bring forth.

NEK ENGL4ND,S INTEREsr.

It wont pay New England to have the Chinamen boycott this country. New England has a large trade in cot ton cloth with the Chinese. They show that in May, 1904, this country ex- ported 100000 yards of uncolored cot ton cloth to China. and in May of this year we exported to the same country nearly 51,5OO,OOO yards of cotton cloth, and exported only about 19,000,O00 yards in that month to any other coun- try. For the eleven months which ended with May. 1905. of the 95,OOo,OOO yards more of cotton cloth which this country exported than it had in the same period of the preceding year, all but 41,000OOO yards went to China.
 Fortunately the outlook in this mat ter is better than it has been. The Chinese have succeeded in making us understand that we can't offend them and expect to hold their trade and We know that business is business.

was met here to-day by hundreds of Reno people eager to give hearty welcome to the men who represent the government in the work of reclama- tion. In the party were Governor Par dee and Senator Frank Flint of Cali fOrnia and Governor John Sparks and Senator George Nixon of Nevada. 4 car containing prominent citizens Of this State was attached to the special, and after a short stop here the jour ney was resumed
 The big diverting dam on the True kee, about twenty miles east of here. where the main canal begins, was the first object point. There the party was taken in charge by Engineer L. H. Taylor. who has represented the gov ernment throughout the entire work The gates Of the dam were lowered and those of the canal were raised. The great flood poured into the huge ditch. The reclamation project in Nevada was formally dedicated. When the gates of the river dams were lowered the. bed of the stream below was dry in an instant, and the party found di- Verting sport in catching the large Truckee trout that were fioundering on the rocks. From the dam the party was driven along the bank of the canal to Derby, where the construction camp was located while the work was in progress. There the train was boarded, the next stop being Hazen. From there the visitors were driven to the Car son River, where them ain canal ends, and where is situated the great storage reservoir, by means of which sufficient water to irrigate thousands of acres ill the Carson sink will be imbounded. The committe was highly satisfied with the work that had been accomplished Some of the members admitted that they had never realized the extent of the work untilt they saw the grea ditch with it's dam and tunnels and laterals covering over thirty-one miles of country.-Reno (Nev) letter to The Kansas City Journal.

Suffering Summer Men,

To Editor of the Journal and Courier.
 My heart (July, and the thermom- eter somewhere up in the ninetiesl warmed with sympathy toward that suffering brother in far-away Provi- dence, whose piteous pleading. as if were in your Saturdays issue, for sug- gest1ons on rational form for man. kind to dress in on days of excessive heat, brought these questions to my lips, and this prayer from my heated heart.
 Where are all the shirt waistcd" men upon whose cool, retreating or approaching forms the ladies looked with admiration because so sensib1v clad?
 Why did not so sensible a style re- main in vogue for all time for them?
 When first adopted so strong was their loyalty for it, that they carried it even to the altar with them, and if in form to-day there would never have been found man in so "frenzied" a condition as that poor one.

4 GREAT TIME IN ST. LOUIS.

There was a great time in St. Louis last year, and there will be another next Spring, when Germans from all over the United States will gather there to honor the memory Of General Franz s;gel, the dasfling cavalry leader who organized four regiments of young Germans for the Federal army in 1861, and saved Missouri for the Union. The statue, for l1ich $1O,00O was sub- scribed by patriotic residents of St. Louis, will probably stand in Forest Park It is the work of Robert Cauer a German American sculptor of Der lin. Cauer went to St. Louis last year and modelled the facial likeness from original photographs of General SigeE at the time of the war. Sigel is shown at the battle of Pea Ridge, scanning the approaching enemy just before he made the famous rally of his German boys" and turned seeming rout into a glorious victory for the boys in blue. It was to this enga cement that the famous humorous ditty, T Fought Nit Sigel'' referred.
 The war is long past, but General sigels memory will endure as long as the WAT is remembered.

RAGE SUICIDE IN FRANCE.

No wonder France is troubled about Germany and other things. In 1900 the population of all European nations was 98, 100000. of which 26,000OOO were French. To-day the population of all Europe is 343,600,O0O of which only 3S,- 100000 are French. In 105 years France has increased her population by only 46 per cent, and now ranks sixth among European nations, with Italy only few millions of population be- hind. There are 1,S08 900 childless fam flies in France; there are 2,8S8,000 fam flies with only one child each. There are 2,379000 families with two children each, and 1,593,387 families with three children each. These constitute 75 Der cent. of all French families The av- craze yearly increase of population in France from 1890 to 1900 was 46,0OO; of Great Britain, 375OO0; of Germany, 692,0O0; of Austria Hungary, 995, ,00O; of Italy, 100000.
 In discussing the deterioration of the birth rate in France the American con- sul at Rouen attributes it in part to financial conditions in the French Re- public. The debt of France, he says. including the communes, the depart ments, Paris and the floating debt, is $6,OO0, 100000, The expenses of the gov- ernment are approximately $7OO 000, ,0O0 year. The net interest on the debt alone is $223, 100000. The average tax on each Frenchman. including depart mental and communal taxes, is about $25. The Frenchman pays a poll tax. dog tax, 8 rent tax, land tax, a ve- hicIe tax, a or-and-window tax, an octroi tax, besides two kinds of cus- toms taxes on food. It is such burdens. in the view of our observant consul, which discourage fathers from adding
