IreIand's Population.

The population of Ireland reached
the maximum in 1S41, when it had
S175,124 inhabitants. The estimated
population in the middle of 1905 was
1891, 565. For the last sixty-hve
years it has been steadily declining,
though in very recent years not at
the same rate as in certain decades.
In 1901 the country had an estL
mated population of 5,319,8S1, though
down to 1913 the census returns for
Ireland are not regarded as accurate.
In 1905 the natural increase was 27,-
761, and the loss by emigration, prin-
.ipally to the United States, was 30
SIS. The decrease in population was
2915 since the returns for 1904. There
was slight set-off from immigra-
ton Of which there is no official
record. The decline for the last three
years was 1903, 1856; 1904, 1864;
1905, 2,915. The falling off in emf
grafton is reflected in these figures.

Prices Therefore Going Up in the
Maine Woods the Last Year or So.
One firm in Bangor, Me-, has agents
all over Northern Maine. buying deer
hides, and thousands of the hides are
received here every season and
shipped to Boston to be tanned,
writes the Bangor (Me) correspond
ent of the New York Sun.
1t is only within the last year or
two that the traffic in deer hides has
reached large proportions A few
years ago a deer hide of the best
quality could be bought for half a
dollar, and the hides were thought
Of so little account that unless the
man who killed the deer had some
use for the skin he threw it away.
The deer hides are now used by
the manufacturers of gloves and
other articles, and there is a steady
demand for them. The demand is
shown by the fact that the hides have
increased almost threefold in value
during the last two years.
The hide of the Maine deer has
been found to be excellent material
for making gloves, pocketbooks, bind
ings and many small leather articles.
There is good profit in these arti-
cles for the manufacturer because the
deer hides can be bought cheaper
than almost any other kind of leath-
er that would answer the purpose.
Those who are aware of the large
traffic in deer hides in Maine fear it
may mean another danger to the big
game which roams the Maine woods.
a dealer in hides must have license,
which costs SIS. Under the protection
Of this license the dealer can buy as
many deer hides as he can get hold
Of. Therefore the question is asked

Views Of a "Globe Girdler."

Charles J. Glidden, the globe grid
ling" automobilist, wrote to some
Boston friends as follows concerning
his impressions Of the first part Of his
Journey from Boston to Mexico by
road and railroad tracks: six years
ago I drove over the road from Bos-
ton to New York, and considerable
Improvement was noticed on this trip,
but on the average the road can be
considered only fair, in comparison
with the good roads around Boston
and the excellent roads of France.
Closed roads necessitated detours in
Connecticut, increasing the distance
twenty miles, and the roads we were
obliged to take were wretched. The
trouble and expense we have been put
to in arranging for our permits and
numbers for New Jersey, Pennsyl-
'vania and Maryland give the impress
sion that we are not in a united coun-
try, but driving through small coun-
tries in Europe. Special numbers,

CANADIAN WOMAN RANcHER.
The Daughter of Marques Ships

Horses to England.
With the arrival of the steamship
Montcalm at Avonmouth from Mon
treal, says the London Tribune, came
the news of an experiment which
Lady Ernestine Hunt, eldest daugh-
ter of the Marques of Ailesbury, has
undertaken. Lady Ernestine Hunt

Alberta, on stretch of land between
10000 and 10000 acres in extentA

conveyance of seventeen of the hors-
es to England From Bristol the an

where they will be broken in and sold.
The horses are still in half wild
state, and throughout the voyage acress
the Atlantic Lady Ernestine Hunt had
little or no assistance in their man
agement. The result was that one or
two nights she had to give up her rest.
That she has succeeded in winning the
confidence Of the animals was proved
by her ability to touch them without
fear, although the deck hands found it
Lady Ernestine Hunt says she is
the first woman who has ever brought
live stock across the western ocean
by herself, and she pays a tribute to
the cattlemen, who are, in her opinion,
a much maligned class.

For National Rock Roads.

"Why don't the States build trunk
roads of macadam so solidly con-
structed that trains Of automobile
freight wagons might be operated
upon them?' said T. A. Witten. Mr..
.Witten is an attorney. He is inter-
'ested in good roads, and has made a
study of the subject.
"a system of rock roads owned by
the State. and connecting the big
cities, would do much toward solving
the railroad rate problem" he con-
tinued. "These roads would be as
straight and as level as possible, and
broad, and would be kept in perfect
repair. The State would build. own,
and maintain them, but any individ-
ual would have the right to use them
free for any purpose. Now suppose
we had such a road from Kansas City
to st. Louis. It would be used by
private and public automobiles, some
carrying passengers for pay. But its
greatest use would be by freight au-
tomobiles. The day Of the automo-
bile is just dawning. In twenty years
from now small family automobiles
will be so low in price that any fam
lily Of moderate means that can of
ford horse and carriage can own
one. And the freight automobile
will be so developed within few
years that they will be used extern
sively for handling freight.
s I'm London a few weeks ago I
saw many trains Of motor cars upon
the streets. They were composed of
four or five heavy iron cars loaded
with sand, rock, bricks and other
building materials, hitched to a
heavy motor car which hauled the
train with ease and at a speed, I
would judge, of about ten miles an
hour.
&! eff we had solid, level rock road
between Kansas City and ST. Louis
you would see in a few years hum
dreds of these motor trains hauling
slow freight between the two cites.
believe it would go far toward the
regulation Of the freight rate upon a
fair basis. The freighting business
upon such road would require no
franchise and create no monopoly.
You must bear in mind when think
Ing over this plan of mine that these
motor freight trains upon macadam
highways would travel almost as
fast as the average local freight
trains.
eff the Government wishes to en-
ter into competition with the rail-
roads in the carrying. of interstate
commerce why should it not con-
struct national highways of macadam
but instead of carrying the commerce
1t should allow any one to do so who
wishes to operate his own vehicles
upon these roads, the Government
simply maintaining the road and
keeping it in repair.

Jystem Of governmental rock roads
with the cost Of building all the rail-
roads and their rolling stock, and you
