Twelve Million Acres Have Been Re
stored to Public Entry.

Washington.-The report of the Sec
retary Of the General Land ONCE, r. A.
Ballinger. for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1907, was made public De-
cember 1st. 1t shows that subsequent
to March 4. more than 100000 acres
Of public lands, previously held under
blanket orders Of suspension, were re-
stored to entry. Nearly 100000
acres were released from withdrawal
in the same period
"The most rigorous effort" says the
commissioner general, "is being made
with the force at my command to re-
strain unlawful and fraudulent prac-
tices in the public land states and to
secure evidence to prosecute those
guilty OF violation of the law. The
field force is totally inadequate in num-
bers to reach all such offenders; hence
the gross offenders are more particu-
larly sought for"
The report condemns as obsolete
and absurd some Of the existing land
laws, in particular the act of March
3, 1873, governing the patenting OF
coal lands. Title having passed, the
government possesses no guaranty
that as a public utility the coal can
be made available to supply the mar
ket: on the contrary these lands have
almost uniformly passed into the
hands Of spectators or large combi-
nations controlling the output or the
transportation SO that the consumer
is at the mercy of both in the greater
portion of the West" san the report.

crime and fraud committed under the
present system can be prevented by
separating the right to mine from the

French Race Suicide.

Paris.-A decreased birth rate in
France in 1906. the lowest in fact,
that her history records. is shown by
statistics just published by the Official
Journal of the republic. Recent years
have been marked by a steady decline
in the number of births. The average
yearly rate from 1896 to 1905 was
S39,S43. In 1906, the births fell to
S06,S47. The deaths during the year
aggregated 7S0,19G. DR.. Jacques Ber-
tillon, chief statistician of Paris, takes
a pessimistic view of these figures.
He points out that whereas all of
frances neighbors yearly increase in
population. Frances population is at
a standstill. Soon, he thinks, the tide
of her population may be backward.
