CLEVELAND DESIRES QUIET DAY
In Response to Request His Birthday
VIII Not BE Formally
Celebrated.

NEW YORK. March 1s-Ex-President
Grover Cleveland, who was born on March
Is, 1881 will complete his SEVENTEEN year
next Monday.
Last March some of his friends passed
around quietly among themselves a sug-
gestion that each should write him a letter
or send a telegram Of birthday greetings.
Soon after some Of those closest TO him
formulated plans for popular national
demonstration in recognition OF the event
OF next Monday. These preliminary ar
rangements, which were completed in every
detail, were made without consulting Mr..
Cleveland. When he became acquainted
with them he declined the proffered honor,
while recognizing the spirit which had
prompted It.
There will be. therefore, no formsl cele-
bratson either in Princeton or else where.
Mr.. Cleveland is now In the south taking
his usual springtime outing.

LINCOLN, March 1ss-(special.)-wit
the end OF the legislative session in view
the work in both houses ia becoming more
and more strenuous. An addition Of two
hours a day to the length of the sessions
is not satisfying some Of the members,
who are chatting under the drag Of work
and who want 20 get hack to their offices,
stores and farms. and night sessions TO help
out are being talked of already.
The senate has ten and the house nine
more days on pay, and unless the session
reaches over the sixty-day limit during
which the members can draw their pei
diem the session will close about March
20 or 30. It has been customary In most
Of the past sessions TO go two or three
days beyond this limit. however, and none
but the most sanguine Of the members
hope to finish the necessary work of the
session before the first week In April
Even then II Is probable a large number
Of more or less important bills will have to
go by the board.
The following table shows in a nutshell
the work already done and the work yet

SITUATION IN eoLDFIELD
Senator nixon Says Turmoil il Due
to Differences Between Labor
Organizations.

GOLDFIELD, New, March 16.-United
States Senator George s. Nixon, president
of the Goldheld Consolidated Mining COM
pany has arrived from Washington with
his partner, George WingieId. He said
today:
When arrived yesterday regretted to
find Goldfield in an Industrial turmoil espe-
cially IN view OF the fact that there are no
differences over hours, wages or union
principles, the only difference being between
two labor organizations. The mine owners
naturally lament this condition. The only
course they could pursue il the one taken,
namely. to close down the mines through
out the camp until the difiiculty is settled;
that is until the men settle the differences
among themselves. While this condition of
AFFAIRS is unfortunate, 1t is one for which
the mine owners are in no way responsible.
am glad TO say that when the mines are
reopened there will be no change In the
wage scale or the hours OF labor.
The labor situation today Is devoid of
developments. each side seemingly await
ing the others action. The ari1ens this

IRISH POPULATION GROWING
December Statistics show Births Are
Greater Than Emigration from
the Island.

DUBLIN March 16-(Special) THE De-
cember statistics, just out, again show
small increase in the population Of Ire
land. This is believed to be the FIRST oc-
casion on record when two successive quar-
ters show the number OF emlgrants TO
have been exceeded by the natural increase
of the population. The births registered
during the quarter numbered 25,52s the
deaths 1SlS2 and the emigrants 5,263. There
is thus an estimated increase of 1,O34, and
this, Notwithstanding an increased death
rate. Ireland therefore appears to be ap-
preaching balance of population. The
significance Of the returns is even empha-
sized by the steadily decreasing rate Of
decline in the population from year to
year Thus the estimated decrease in the
population in June, 1900, was nearly $4,000,
as compared with the previous year the
decrease to June, 1901, was estimated at
nearly 1900; the following June showed a
drop in the rate to 1S,OO0 in June 1903, the
estimated decrease had risen again to 49,,
600; 1904 It was 11,5OO 1906 1880, and last
June only 3,7OO. Since that date the popu-
lation has increased by a couple OF thou
sand, so that since June, 1906 notwith-
standing heavy emigration roll, the popu-
lation has been practically stationary.
Mr.. George Fletcher, assistant secretary
TO the board of technical instruction, has
been calling into question Prof. Campbell's
views upon the Irish situation. Mr.. Fletcher
thinks the Irishman shows, though in a
less degree than other nationalties, ten
dency to migrate from the land into the
towns He offers the reason that the edu-
cation of the national schools is not di-
rected to an agricultural life. He would
have manual instruction for men and do
nestle economy for girls. Manual instruc-
ton and domestic economy could, he be-
lieved, best be carried out through the
establishment of central high schools.

Same Story of Big Crops.

Riley Rice, one Of Idaho county's
prosperous ranchers, made this Of
flee a substantial call while in
town Monday. He states the crops
OF the past year over in his parts
were enormous, wheat going 35 to
50 bushels to the acre and from his
ranch, which he put in barley, he
obtained yield of close on to 60
bushels to the acre. Besides the
raising of grain, he finds time to
turn his hand to the breeding of
high class Shorthorns and just last
last week sold an excellent young
animal to r. II. Farris, over on
the Clearwater. Mr.. and MIS-.
Rice returned a week ago from
Caldwell where they went as dele.
gates to the 1. o. o. F. and Re.
bekah meetings. In speaking OF
that section. where he had been a
great many years ago, he stated the
change irrigation has made is al
most beyond belief. That large
crops of fruit, grain and vegetables
now grow where once the sage
brush grew.
