Philippine Population.

The total population of the archi.
pelago as returned from 342 indie.
pendent islands is 7,635,426. OF this
number almost seven million are
more or less civilized. The wild
tribes form about per cent of the
entire population. The civilized
tribes are practically all adherents
of the Catholic church. The Moros
are Mohammedans, and the other
wild peoples have no recognized re-
igious beliefs.
The total population, according to
the most reliable authorities, is a
little more than four times as great
as it was 100 years ago. During the
same period that of the United
States multiplied almost fifteen
times. The excess of birth rate over
death rate in the Philippines has
been large, in spite of sudden and
great losses as a result of epidemics
of various diseases.

MILK RIVER VALLEY.
The interior Department is Making
Preparations for Irrigationg
This Famous Valley.

Montana is coming in for big
share of the general prosperity of the
country, and it will only be a few
short years when she will rank with
any of the Northwestern states in
agricultural greatness. The recent
act of the interior department of
the United States in setting aside
100000 toward retaining three or
four hundred thousand acres in the
Milk River valley is but a beginning
of a much vaster development of this
section as the needs grow apace. AL
ready the agricultural worth of this
to-be-famous valley has been ade-
quately demonstrated in the results
which have followed the irrigation
works already established. It has
been successfully proven that all
kinds of agricultural products grow
in great abundance wherever irriga-
ton is used. The soil is naturally
Ich and needs only moisture to make
it yield prolifically. The Great North.
ern Railway furnishes adequate
transportation facilities, it's main line
practically cutting the valley in two.
The fact that the government has de-
cided to begin immediate operations
will prove a great incentive to the
people of that section who have al
ways believed in the future of their
country and will open to settlement
vast area of rich land to the home
seeker and investor.

So meek he seemed-so poor-alone.

With jest and gibe to aout me;
With roSe-leaf strung on rose-leaf red
He wove his chains about me.
Quoth he: "Such sorry garb as your.
No thief would deign to borrow!'
He stripped me of my Cynic's robe,
OF Loneliness and Sorrow.
He found my store Of Doubts and Fears
Made loot to merry measure:
He scattered far to left and right
A hoard of doleful treasure
He scaled my lips with kisses three.
And swore he'd stay no longer,

BUFoRD-TRENToN..
Extensive Irrigation Projects will
Soon be Carried out in Western 49,
North Dakota. =('.

A new irrigation project which
promises much for the Northwest is
the Buford-Trenton Reclamation prof.
ect. The United States government
has set aside $550,000 for this work
and the active operations will begin
inside of sixty days. When this work
is completed some $4,000 acres of
now arid land will be reclaimed and
the Western part of NaTth Dakota
will be as attractive as $he great
valley of the Red River and the pro-
ductive lands of the Mouse River
Loup. It is asserted that the pro-
posed dam and reservoir will hold
between 10000 and 25,000-acre feet
Of water, and the proposed canals
will run north and south of the line
of the Great Northern Railway to a
point about three miles east of Tren-
ton, North Dakota, from near Blu
ford, North Dakota, on the extreme
western border of North Dakota. This
is but the beginning of the extensive
irrigation projects which have been
planned by the government and in
dividuals in Western Dakota and
Northeastern Montana, which, to-
gether with the Milk River Irrigation
project, will reclaim thousands of
acres for settlement for agricultural
purposes which have lain barren for
years, and offer an opportunity for
the homeless of the East to secure
homes of their own. The fact that
good agricultural government land is
becoming scarcer and scarcer makes
these irrigation projects of great in
terest to the homeseeker and in
