DAY OF FREE LAND" GONE.
Uncle Sam Still Has Many ~Unoccupied
Acres, But Settlers There Must
Have Money.

The original 13 states bulk rather
small on the map OF the United States.
As respects population, notwithstand-
ing the enormous growth of the coun-
try since the revolution, the adding of
state after state 10 the original united
colonies and star after star to the
American flag, the old 13 still number
600 people of the union.
Another third, according to the bu-
reau of statistics of the department Of
commerce and labor, live in the states
created from the territory coded to
the common union by the original
states. This is the region known for
half a century as the west, which has
always been a relative term according
to the period in which it was used.
The other third of the population live
in what was originally known as the
Louisiana purchase, the Gadsden pur-
chase and other areas added by pur-
chase or annexation. The center of
pire westward, has passed over Ohio
and now halts in southern Indiana.
1t is interesting to learn from the
statistics furnished by the bureau that
in 1908 there were still 754, S95, 600
acres of unappropriated and unre-
served land. OF this nearly one-half
is in Alaska, and its value is yet to be
determined. In Nevada there are 61,-
$4,000 acres of this unappropriated
land, in Montana 46, 532, goo acres, in
New Mexico 44,778,000 acres, and 49,
10000 acres are in Arizona.
But these figures are more imposing
on paper than the land will justify as
the possible home of a large popula-
ton. BY irrigation many thousands Of
these acres, 10Y practically a desert,
will yet be made fertile; by drying up
or drainage the immense swamp
areas in some of the older states an
other large area will be eventually
made available. The day of free
land" however, in the golden west, a
cry once so attractive to the immi-
grant or to the settler from the older
states, has practically passed. Much
of the land yet unappropriated may be
free enough, but it will require wealth
to make it productive.
The United States, as far as regards
the opportunities 1t offers the landless,
is at the close of it's first great era.
The areas to come may be better in
some respects, but they will be differ
ent. There are no more boundless
areas of fertile, well-watered soil
awaiting the settler. The day of free
land is over.

produced by an overdose Of
quinine-forty grains, as sworn
to by Clifford. He said he killed
McWhorter with the axe, to
prevent McWhorter killing him
with the gun used as a bludgeon.
If that was true Clifford was
not insane; and if he killed
McWhorter in a fit of insanity
no possible element of sell de
Tense could exist in the case.
Yet, the Judge, who was incom-
petent for the place he held, in
structed the jury on both lines
of that contradictory defense,
telling them that if either one
was established to their salts
faction they should acquit the
defendant.
To establish the theory Of
self defense he told of the
wounds given him in the assault
by McWhorter, and to establish
the theory of insanity, he told
of taking forty grains of qui-
nine at a single dose. Had
there been a lawyer on the
bench he would have told the
Jury that it was impossible for
both of those contradictoryStor-
les of Clifford to be true, and they
