Divorces Have
Increased Much
America Leads in Broken Marital
Ties-Figures dCOmpare With
Those OF 20 Years Ago Show
Startling Ratio.

twenty years ago an Investigation by
the department OF labor showed that
32s, ZIG divorces had been granted in the
United States between 1867 and 1886,
and that divorces were increasing two
and oae-half times az fast as population
The recent census for lss7-1gOG brings to
light 945,625 divorces, and demonstrates
that the movement constantly gains in
velocity. At present. probably one mar
riage in 10 is broken, and in some states
the proportion may be as high az one in
four. Forty years ago the broad con
trast was between north and south but
the divorce rates Of north and south
have been converging, whereas those Of
east and west have diverged Tie CEN
tral states have two and one-half times
the rate OF the Atlantic states, while for
the western states the proportion is
three and one-half
Although tie tide Of divorce is rising
the world over, nowhere is it so high,
nowhere is it rising so fast as in the
United States. Our rate is twice that OF
Switzerland, thrice that of France, and
FIVE times that Of Germany.
The census figures dissipate many
false impressions. 1t is often assumed
that many couples separate precipitate-
" before they have given marriage a
fair trial but the average interval before
separation exceeds six and one-half
years, and is not diminishing. Since
more than half ths couples lived togeth
er above four years while in the major
ity of cases the duration Of marriage ex-
ceeded seven years, it would be rash to
surmise that people are forming risky
and unstable unions in full view oftheir
easy dissolution.
Nor is divorce usually sought in order
to remarry. In Connecticut, during a
period OF years tire number Of divorced
persons married was about 40 per cent
Of the number divorced in the same
time. In Rhode Island, from 1889 to
1895, the proportion was only 2s per
cent.

Formation of Press Association.

Editors and publishers Of so dali,
weekly aud class publications in eastern
Warrington and Oregon, northern and
central idaho western Montana, south
eastern British Columbia and points in
Alberta have been invited by the spok-
ane Press Committee to meet in that
city on Nav s to discuss plans for the
formation Of the Inland Empire Press
Association.
The purpose Of the organization is to
unite the press Of the country to work
ior more substantial and greater devel-
opment ofan parts Of tie INLAND Empire
and to encourage the emigration Of de-
sirable settlers and influx OF capital to
assist in building up the country and
develop its agricultural, Industrial and
commercial resources.
The Spokane Press Committee, com.
posed ofarspre.entative of every journal
published in Spokane headed by \. w.
Durhams editor of The Spokesman.
Review, s;ll entertain the visitors.
Following the organization meeting in
tho assembly room Of the Chamber of
Commerce at o'clock the party will
visi, Recreation Park, where the Spok-
ane Indians and the Tacoma Tigers play
in the regular league series fer lie
Northwest pennant. This will be fol-
loved by seeing Spokane tour, and in
the evening beginning at o'clock,
there is to be a complimentary banquet
in the Hall of the Poges.
This organization will in no way in
terfere with the work OF the state edi-
sorial associations, said Arthur Hooker,
secretary Of the Spokane Press Com
inittee, "but is designed to be Of more
benefit to the various communities and
the district as a whole than any other
similar association possibly could be.
We expect to have the cooperation Of
every editor in the country in this work,
which is entirely in the interest Of &
greater Inland Empire"

indians Buying Business Blocks

The Wapato Indians, who have just
disposed of a large part Of their land
holdings to the Wapato Irrigation Com
pany, are becoming city landlords. One
Of them has bought the Chelan Transfer
Company's big livery barn; another has
purchased the Kingman brick block for
S12, 900, containing large hardware
store, large clothing store, fraternal
lodge halls and law Offices. Another is
reported to have bought a 100000
building in Wenatchee.
Some OF the Wapatos have refused to
sell their land, and the law requires each
allottee to retain eighty acres OF his
allotment, so the Indians will still be
extensive land owners on the reservation.
The irrigation company will water
the Indians land for them. The COM
pany now has about 5000 acres of this
fine land, which will support large
number of people when divided into
small tracts and put under water.
The company is tapping number OF
creeks that flow into the east side Of
Lake Chelan and, besides the reserva-
ton land, will irrigate some of the
higher farms north OF town.
Louie Wapato, who bought the King
man block. died last week, the result
OF an up-river spree. He left about
$500 in the bank, besides his town
property and his land. As he left
widow and some minor children, his
estate will probably have to go through
an administration in the superior court.
