CITY AND COUNTRY

James j. Hill in an interview ex-
presses this sentiment:
For the moment / see no specls
upon the horizon, so far as present
and immediate prosperity is concern
ed. do not see however, a discourag-
ing sign in the too rapid drift OF
population from the country to the
cities. The farmes are being depopulat-
ed. We will have to stop that or we
will sffer for 1t. expect to see the
next census reveal the startling fact
that only about third of our popu-
lation Is now engsged in agricultural
pursuits. The statistics brought down
to date at Washington few years
ago showed that only SO per cent were
still on the farms. The movement
from the country to the city has since
been even swifter than 1t was in the
decade between 1890 and 1900. We
must devise some method for getting
the people back on the farms or we
can't boast our prosperity. This Is
the greatest problem OF the age. 1t
is one to which every thoughtful Am
erican should apply himself diligent-
ly."
II this condition should continue the
situation would, as intimated by Mr..
Hill, become alarming, but ism II
a thing which will solve itself? Moth
ing is changing more rapidly than the
relation of city to country. People
have been focking into the cities for
commercial as we'll as social reasons.
The farmers life used to be one OF
constant drudgsry and toll without
the slightest hope OF final reward.
But all this has changed. Farming IS
more scientific and the products of
the farm for various reasons will in
the future always bring good prices.
AS a class the farmers are today the
most prosperous people. This will
continue. In the cities there will be
a change and it will be more difficult
to make living. In fact that is
really so now. People will see the
folly OF living in dark, airless rooms,
in alleys and doing work as hard as
farming. Then there will be re-
turn to the farms. The farms never
offered better chance than now.

journ until tomorrow when argu-
ments will be heard.
1t is pointed out that II this chal-
lenge is sustained, every person who
has been convicted of a criminal Of
Tense for years will have the right to
challenge the legality OF the fury,
which tried him and seek his free
dom. Such ruling would hopelessly
complicate the criminal records of

cultivating 400 acres of land known as

man Wash, south OF Spokane, repor
cut of 22,500 bushels of Red Russian
wheat AN average of 56 bushels to
the acre. This does not include the
grain which fell or the hay cut earl
Ter in the season. The crop is believ-
ed to be the record yield for a similar
area in the Northwest, II not on the
