AsusE or DIVORCE.

There are more divorces granted in
the United States every year than In
any other country except Japan. The
recorded divorces during the year
1908 were 10000, and In 1900 nearly
10000 divorced persons We're living
ID this country.
Whatever ones views may be an TO

such grazing areas the tracts which
in his opinion should be subject to
entry or settlement under the pub
lie Land and mineral laws of the
United States. The secretary of
the interior is authorized to use the
reclamation fund for the expenses
incurred under the provisions of
this act.
Section 3. That the secretary
OF the interior is hereby authorized
to perform any and all acts and to
make such rules and regulations
as may be necessary and proper for
the purpose of carrying the provi-
sions of this act into full force and
effect.
While the act itself gives the sec
rotary discretionary power to with
draw any land he may see fit from
entry and to lease it for grazing
purposes, no one familiar with the
forestry policy of the government
doubts for an instant that he
would withdraw the entire public
domain.
He has included in forest re-
serves under the national forest
reserve act more than $1,000, 900
acres; he has withdrawn from en-
try for the purpose of ultimately
including the forest reserves more
than so, 900, 900 acres additional.
And the Withdrawals for inclusion
in forest reserves are going on al
most daily.
While the secre tary of the in
terror is busy trying to deprive
the western people of the use of
tie public domain, the president
has recommended to congress the
enactment of a law to withdraw
all coal lands from entry under the
mineral laws of the United States.
In accordance with the recommended
ton the secretary of the interior
has directed the registers and re-
ceivers of public lands throughout
the country to refuse to accept final
proof in any coal land entries
his is evidently a determined ef-
fort being made to force the enact
ment of legislation in accordance
with the presidents recommends
tion next winter. If the prcsi
dents recommendation is adhere,
, to by congress no public coal land
can pass into private ownership il

an important part of the National
Wool Growers convention, will be
completed today, and from now I'M
til the time of the convention
there will be great activity among
the sheepmen of the state in pre-
pairing for the meeting. One
hundred invitations have been ex-
tended to prominent wool growers
in all parts of the state to attend a
luncheon that will be gwen at the
Commercial club at 1880 p. m. to-
day and to take part in discussing
and adopting plans for the conven-
ton. Many have acknowledged re-
ccipt of their invitations and have
informed the officers of the Com
mercial club of their intention of
attending the luncheon. Conse-
quently it is thought that the sheep
men of the state will be well repre-
scented. The National Wool Crow
ers' convention will be held in
Salt Lake City, January z, s and
g. 1t will be the most important
meeting ever held by the associa-
ton, inasmuch as it will be the
first held as an individual organi-
cation, for heretofore it has always
been held in conjunction with the
livestock show at Denver. Through
rather phenomenal growth dur
ing the past few years, both of the
organizations shave reached such
proper tions that it was no longer
deemed feasible to hold both of the
shows at the same time and place.
/ The securing OF the first convention
of the National Wool Growers as
ISOLATION after its separation from
the live stock organization confers
no little honor on the Utah State
Wool Growers association, and il
is evident that since its first ef-
forts in this direction have beer
crowned with success, nothing
will be left undone by the state or
ganization that will tend to make
the convention the greatest evel
held in America. Salt Lake Trib-

DURUM WHEAT GROWN ON
DRY LAND MAKES GOOD FLOUR

The Gem State Rural says il has
had SO many inquiries about the
Touring qualities of durum, i'm
properly called Macaroni, wheat,
that the following from M. A.
Carleton, cerealist of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
will be read with interest. II seems
to settle the question as to the val
poses, and in view of the large de-
mand for it for dry land farming,
it is now up to the millers to pro-
vide facilities for making the
flour.
Prof. w. H. Olin is in receipt
of a letter from M. A. Carleton,
cerealist of the United Statse de-
partment, in which information is
given that will be good news to the
wheat growers, particularly to the
dry farmers. Professor Carleton
makes the following statements as
to the use of durum wheat as a
milling wheat and as to the sale of
/ it:
''It will be of interest to you 70
know that $1,000 acres of land have
recently been purchased in Preside
county, Texas, for putting in durum
wheat, and that from five to ten
thousand acres will be shown this
fall. Several Minneapolis men are
interested in this project.
Cup to date there has been more
dealing in durum wheat at Duluth,
Minnesota, the wheat headquarters
of this country, than in any other
kind of wheat. Frequently more
than half the wheat receievd II
twenty-four hours is of this kind
The price has steadily remained a
eight to ten cents below the sam;
grade of other wheat, but if for
eign market is depended upon i
is pretty certain to go down some
If this depreciation in price shoulC
occur, we ought to make it yer,
plain that only the millers are t
blame, because as you know, and a.
Mr.. Hotel, of Fort Collins, knows
as well as other millers, durun
wheat is very profitable for grind
ing for bread flour. l am rather
confident that something near 20,
000,00 bushels of durum whea
will be used this year for brea'
flour. The entire crop will not b.
less than 90, 900, 900 bushels

HITCHCOCK WOULD LEASE
ALL GRAZING LANDS

A press dispatch from Washing
ton says: If congress adheres TO
the recommendations of Secretary
Hitchcock, the livestock interests of
the west will be compelled to pay
tribute to the government for the
use of the public domain of the
western states of upwards Of $50,
600, 900 per annum. There are up
wards os 500, 600, 600 acres of land
in the western states known as pub
lie lands. These are lands on which
settlement has not been made. The
title is in the government. They
are open to homestead entry under
the homestead laws. If the recon-
mendations of Secretary Hitchcock
are accepted by congress no further
entries can be made upon this land.
The following is an exact copy
of bill forwarded. by. Secretary
Hitchcock to the senate and house
on March u, 1906, with strong
recommendation that it be enacted
into law;
That the secretary of the interior
be and is hereby authorized, in his
discretion, to withdraw from pub
Lie entry and to lease for grazing
purposes, npon terms of payment to
sbe fixed by him, any unoccupied
sgogernment lands in any state or
territory wherein he deems it for
the public interest so to do, prefer
ence being given to owners of stock
who are settlers or residents in the
vicinity, and particularly to such as
are owners Of small bands of
stock: Provided, that no lease
shall be made for period exceeding
five years: And, provided, further,
That the proceeds derived from the
lease of said lands shall be convert
ed into the reclamation fund, estab-
lished by the provisions Of the act
of June II, 1902, known as the rec
la1nation act, and be subject to use
for the purpose therein.
Section 2. The secretary of the
interior shall provide for the CLASH
} fication of lauds to be leased under
the provisions of this act and shall
be authorized to determine the
) areas suitable for leasing as sepa-
rate tracts with reference to the
water supply. At the expiration
! of any lease the secretary of the in.
: terror shall be authorized to re.
) classify the lands and exclude from
