 Range News: Eastern markets are commencing to sit up and take notice that the run of cattle from the western range promises to show q falling off this season of fully fifty per cent The price of cattle is advancing slowly and the time IS not far distant when the people will commence to complain of the high price of beef. Then the beef trust will be dragged out and pounded again by the newspapers. That there is scarcity of cattle in the country can not be doubted by those who have been watching the course of events. The range busi- ness is undergoing an evolution from big herds on the open range to small herds in pastures, and the change takes time. It might be hurried, or at least assisted, by a change in the land laws and the question is whether the administra- ton plans for leasing will prevail or whether the people will be strong enough to force change that will permit the sale Of grazing lands. The future prosperity of the west Is at stake in this matter and it Is of the utmost importance that the people at once consider the question and decide what they want.

Striking Fact About the Immense
Hordes Crossing the Atlantic.

Striking Fact About the Immcnse
IIordes Crossing the Atlantic.
No migration In history is compare
Bile to the great hordes that have
crossed the Atlantic during the past
twenty years to enter our territory.
In 1905, 1,O26,4s9 immigrants were adj
mitted; in 1906. 1.1oo.7s5. and in the
present year the total will exceed the
record Of 1906 by many thousands.
Since Juno 80. 1906, 100000 have been
admitted. of whom probably 5,5oo,ooo
have settled permanently in the United
States.
The report of Mr.. Sargent for 1905.
recently issued, contains much inter
testing information about the character
and qualifications of the immigrants.
Perhaps the most striking fact is that
less than per cent. of the newcomers
have reached or passed the age OF for
ty-five. OF the arrivals in 1906. 9l3.955
ranged In age from fourteen to forty
four. 136273 Were less than fourteen
years of age. and only 5o,5O7 mad
reached or passed the age of forty
five. More than two-thirds of the I'M
migrants were males, the figures be-
ing T64.463 men and boys, and S36.2d2
women and girls.
About 2s per cent. Of the total num-
Der were illiterate, which Is very
large proportion when we consider
that only 60 per cent. of the total
white population OF the United States
and only 4.6 per cent. Of the native
born whites in 1900 were illiterate.-
