EAST HAS own TROUBLES
L. F. Hinton Says Reports About
North Dakota This Winter Won't
Affect Settlers Coming Here.

If any one imagines that there is
going to be any falling off in the num-
Der of homeseekers who have been
coming to North Dakota for the past
few years, he should take a trip east.
The idea that the reports of the recent
cold weather in this state has dis
suaded many prospective homeseekers
is erroneous. The people in the east
ern states from where North Dakota
draws new residents every year have
been too busy with their own troubles
to bother with those of this state"
This is the way L. F. Hinton, Il
Chicago travelling man, who makes the
state of North Dakota, sizes up the
situation. He returned last week from
trip east, going as far as New York,
and is highly pleased with the outlook
in this state. So much so, in fact, that
he states that piece of Red river
dirt looked so good to him that he
proposes to invest the savings of the
past few years in property in the val
ley, providing sufficiently attractive
bargain should offer.
WHAT WIN HOOQS, snow storms ana
slight earthquakes the people of the
east are not afraid of the prospect of
a North Dakota blizzard" continued
Mr. Hinton. "They take sensible
view of the situation. They argue
from the fact that no reports of desti-
tuition have been sent out that the
farmers are we'll supplied with money,
and that the shortage of food and fuel,
which is even doubted, is due to some
fault of the railroad companies, some
thing which can and will be remedied.
Personally l believe that the COM
ing season will be the best in the his
tory Of the state. l believe with many
others that great percentage of the
wheat raised in the state last year is
still in the hands of the farmers.
personally know of several instances
where this is the case, and 1 have no
reason to doubt but that there are
many other, farmers similarly situat-
ed. When this grain is marketed
money will be easy"

ment and development of the country
had ceased; men with money refused
to invest and take chance of the pass
age of the free trade bill; and the re-
suit was the laboring class of people
throughout the United States were
thrown out Of employment in nearly
every walk of life. great distress soon
overlooked them, soup-houses were es-
tablished all over the country to sup
port the poor and idle laborers. The
so-called "Coxey Army" of idle labor
ers was organized to march on to
Washington to intimidate congress
and induce 1t thereby to not pass the
free trade bill. As l said before, the
action of the North Dakota legislature,
or rather. few individuals belonging
to the republican party at that time,
caused al this distress and bankrupted
the country by their treachery to the
republican party, in sending one more
democrat to the United States senate.
Mr.. Speaker, have just been re-
minded that one Of those members who
betrayed his party at that time was
a leading factor in betraying his party
last fall at the polls, and by reason
of such betrayal in uniting with the
democrats, he has been returned to
this house as member. But l will
do him the justice to call the atten-
ton of the house to the fact that he
has not, as yet, on the floor of the
house, uttered one word of support
of the measure now pending, which
was introduced by his democratic CO.

parties of the state at their last con-

Ireland's Decreasing Population.

Ireland's Decreasing Population.
A striking light is thrown on the
condition of Ireland by the annual
report of the registrar general of
that island on the births, deaths and
marriages in 1906.
The facts set forth in passionless
figures are of nature to depress
friends of Ireland. A further de-
crease of 6235 in the population is
recorded, in spite of the fact that the
birth rate per thousand was 1915,
only fraction below the average
for the previous ten years. The ex-
cess OF births over deaths was 49,
109, while the loss by emigration
was no fewer than 1894.
Since 1896 a total of 154,055
persons have left the country, the
population steadily declining from
the 4,542.061 recorded in that year
to 4,3SS,066 in 1906.
IL Is significant that In the period
between 1884 and 1901 the popula-
tion OF Scotland increased from 3d.
735,573 to 4,472,103. A detailed
examination of the Irish emigration
figures shows that the persons leav-
ihe tne country are VI tne aye nosI
valuable to th' country; S3.1 per
cent being between the ages OF Is
and 35.
Next to the decrease in the popu-
lation the most serious thing re-
vealed by the report is the terrible
prevalence of consumption and kin
dred tuberculous diseases. These
account for 11,756 deaths, or 1873
per cent of the population.
These are appalling figures, as the
registrar general points out, and he
urges that the matter should receive
the special attention of the govern
ment, as the disease has proved to
be In a great degree preventable. and
the mortality from II has greatly
decreased in England and Wales.
