crease and immigration Is expanding
rapidly and it is predicted by 1850
the Inhabitants will total 100000
600 people. The great problem which
confronts the future development OF
the country is the agricultural lands,
the products from which are to feed
the nation. Fortunately science has
has demonstrated that the land
will never become so exhausted OF
its fertility but what it can be re
claimed and made to yield bountiful
haryests. Oil, coal, copper, gold and
the mineral wealth of the land is
stable part of the earth and repre-
sents a permanent inheritance to
man.
Acentury ago the area of forests
east Of the Rocky mountains aggre-
gated 700,O00,0O0 acres, which is
now reduced to nominally 100000
600 acres. The cut-over lands in
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Or
egon, Washington and other lumber
producing states are arabic and ca
pable Of supporting a large popula-
ton when placed under cultivation.
1t is estimated that not more than
twenty-one per cent of the land in
the United States is now under cul-
tivation, which Is expected in the
next forty years to increase to so
per cent. 1t is estimated that the ex-
pansion of agricultural products in
the next score of years will require
an increase of 1853, 100000 acres I'M
der cultivation, without estimating
the enlarged consumption of fruits
and vegetables. Around twenty per-
cent of the area Of the United States
will always be devoted to grazing
purposes and will prove valuable for
live stock industry while too rough
for cultivation. 1t was the grazing
ground of the extinct buffalo, but is
occupied largely by sheep, cattle and
range horses. There are fertile val
legs in this area that can be irri-
gated, and small sections cultivated
with dry farming, but practically
300,000,00O acres will always be
utilized for grazing purposes. The
Department of Agriculture reports
that not more than two per cent of
the land is irreclaimable desert.
The prodigal waste of timber dur
ing the last fifty years is estimated
to average $5O,O00,OO0 annually or
approximately $2,o0O.OOO,OO0 worth
of timber wasted. 1t is time there
was national movement to con-
serve our national resources and ar
rest the prodigal waste of our for
ests and the depletion of the fertil-
ity of the land. While Uncle Sam
is no longer rich enough to give ev-
erybody farm, there is plenty of
agricultural land to support a pop
ulation Of 3O0,0OO,0O0 in the Unit
ed States, Texas alone being capable
of maintaining S0,OOO,000 people If
all her arabic land were under cult
walton to cereals, fruits and vegeta-
bles.

Mrs. schnasse's Brother Dead.

Mrs. Schnasse's Brother Dead.
Mrs. Schnasse was greatly
shocked few days ago to receive
word of the death of a brother,
Henry Lehnhoff, who passed away
at his home in Lincoln, Neb. Re-
ferring to his life, the Journal Of
Plattsmouth, Neb., has the follow
ing:
Word was received in this city
this morning of the death at Lincoln
of Henry Lehnhoff, an old time resi-
dent of this county and mention of
whose critical illness was made In
the Journal several days since. Mr..
Lehnhoff had been Ill for some time
past and quite a while ago hope Of
his life was abandoned. He suffered
from q tumor which had affected his
spine and from which death was In
eyitable. His good friend Conrad
Schlater had received word several
days since that his condition was
very serious and he was not surprised
when the sad intelligence reached
him this morning. Mr.. Schlater and
wife and son County Treasurer Frank
sSchlater will attend the funeral al
Louisville on Thursday.
Mr.. yLehnhoff was a Nebraska pio-
neer and practically all his life was
spent In this fine prairie state he had
reached the age of seventy-fve years
when death took him away. Born
In Germany. he came to America in
an early day in company with his
Sorcther Fred. ss3s
'.IIe imJniErated to Nebraska from
Wisconsin IN the year 1859. But
Nebraska did not suit his rowing ana
ambitious spirit. He was seized with
sa desire t. visit Pixies Peak and ex-
Bplore the rich gold mines Of hat

on the goth, and 1t was said that his
speech had been approved in manu-
script by the president. Joseph H.
Choate was the toastlnaster, and he
introduced the attorney general
with high praise mixed with some
decided slurs upon the last admin
istration. Under Mr.. Wickersham, q
said Choate, Justice will not be ad-
ministered as burlesque and a
travesty. You will see no corpora
ton fined $29,0OO,00O as the result
of an ill-advised demand, only to be
reversed and, be regarded as a trav-
esty. There will be no encroach-
ment of the executive upon the jul
dietary. He will demonstrate once
more that ours is government of
laws and not of men. He will de-
fend the constitution. He has been
corporation lawyer and a defender
OF institutions which twelve months
ago were everywhere condemned. 1t
is quite time they had their innings. !"
Mr.. Wickersham spoke of the rude
awakening of the business commune
ty to the actuality of the Sherman
law when the last administration
got to work with energy, accom-
panied at times with newspaper
clamor," to enforce that and similar
laws. He said that the present ad-
ministration would continue to en-
force the laws, but that the methods
necessary to awaken the people to
the existence of those laws was no
longer essential. 1t would not hes
itate to withdraw suits begun with
out due consideration and adequate
cause, but that such action should
not be taken to mean an intention
to abandon in the slightest degree
"the vigorous impartial enforcement
of the law or to undo in any degree
the work of the last administration. {"
The attorney general went on to re-
fer to the recent cries of certain
business interests of "let us have
peace" and "let us alone" but he
insisted that the price of peace was
obedience to law, Saying: Those
who honestly try to keep the law
need not fear prosecution. He
would be the last to proceed against
men who without criminal intent had
made some technical violation of the
law. But certain principles were
now understood by all, and any at
tempt to restrain commerce between
the states by way of monopoly would
be fought by the government.

On sober second thought Canada
is not quite sure it wants to build
couple of Dreadnaughts to aid
Great Britain and increase the i'm
perial navy strength. The matter
has been held up while the cabinet
considered the subject carefully.
There is not the slightest doubt of
the Dominion's loyalty to the British
crown, but, as has been limited by
some prominent statesmen up that
way, there may be times when Cam
ada would prefer to- go alone and
not get drawn into British complica-
tions.

President Taft has already been
invited to attend the Missouri river
congress to be held at Yankton in
July and felt compelled to decline.
1t was at too early date to accom-
modate his proposed western trip to
the Seattle exposition and Alaska.
The president will also receive an in
vitation through the South Dakota
congressman to attend Aberdeen s
homecoming festival which will oc-
cur in June but for similar reasons
he will doubtless be compelled to
decline. Congress may not adjourn
until after the Homecoming celebra-
ton is wound up.

While the commissioner of school

school lands in Sphinx county for $50
an acre the transaction should not
be given out as the ordinary price of
lands in the state. 1t would do more
harm than good to place our land
values at such figures. The tract in
question was forty-acre piece, not
far from the growing city of Red

ties of the quarter section sold at
$4,000 per acre which gave the state
a living profit.

Z Kidnapping has been made very
unpopular in Pennsylvania, since the
result Of the trial for taking away
the Whitlaw lad 1t did not take
long to convict the parties to the
terrible crime. and when Boyle and

take the court long to make his
sentence. Boyle was sentenced to
serve q life term in the penitentiary
for his part in the kidnapping. while
Mrs. Boyle got twenty-five years and

fore the public lecturing, and has
even written book. The kidnapper
is equally as bad as the murderer
and should be shown as little mercy.

OF HORSES ACROSS THE LINE
VIII BE of Interest TO Those Who Are
TO Ship Horses Into Alberta
Printed at the Request of the Chief
of the Bureau OF the Northwest-A
Large Number of Inquiries Have
Been Received at the Local Office.

Owing to the fact that a large
number of inquiries are being receiv-
ed at the local office of the federal
bureau of animal industry relative
to the schipping of horses into Can
ada, DIR. S. w. Mcclure, chief of the
bureau in the northwest, has asked
that the following regulations be pub
lished for the benefit of those farmers
who are thinking of shipping horses
into Alberta.
The regulations of the Canadian
government are as follows:
Horses, mules or asses forming
part of settlers effects shall be in
spected and should be accompanied
by: (a) A satisfactory certificate Of
mallein test dated not more than 80
days prior to the date of entry, and

States bureau of animal industry; or
(b) a similar certificate from repu-
table veterinarian, provided such GER
tificate is endorsed by an inspector
of the said bureau of animal indus
try; or (c) a similar certificate from
an inspector Of the Canadian depart
ment of agriculture.
''If not so accompanied such horses,
mules or asses may be submitted toI
the mallein test by an official of the
Canadian department of agriculture
at any time after their arrival in

HLL-HARRDIAN AGREEMENT.
VIII Result in Increased and Improv-
ell Terminals I'm Portland,

Portland will benefit more than
any other city on the coast as a re-
suit of the Hill-Harriman conference
in San Francisco Saturday. The
agreement entered into between the
two interests to use the Portland
Union depot Jointly entails the ex-
penditure of hundreds of thousands
OF dollars on the Portland terminal,
the enlargement of the passenger
yards and the construction of a large
breakup" yard near Guilds lake
where freight trains will be made up
and whence cars will be distributed
to the various roads and Industrial
tracks in and about the city.
Before leaving San Francisco both
Hill and Hartman announced that
so far as the terminal situation is con
cerned their troubles were at an end.
President Hill of the Great Northern
states:
'The people of oregon will under
stand what l mean when I say that
the situation has been cleared up. |
What We did today was to discuss de-
tails-the advisability of laying al
track here and of taking up a track
there, and like matters"
That this means the expenditure
of large sums of money for the i'm
provement and enlargement of the
Portland terminals there is no doubt
The yards of the Northern Pacific
Terminal company have been recog-
nized as inadequate for years and in
1905 the company HAD an expert ter
minal engineer prepare plans for the
of the Portland faclli-
ties. The plans were made on the
basis that the present depot yards are
Just one-half as large as they should
be to handle even the present tonnage,
to say nothing of the addition of the
North Banks business.

INCREASE RAIDROAD RATES.
Decision of State Commission Permits
Increase of Rate to 20 Cents.

Richmond. Va.-The state corpor-
alton commission having handed down
an opinion in favor of the railroads
in the matter of the petition of the
common carriers increasing the max
imum rate from two cents a mile to
two and a helf cents, all the roads
in the state which heve been oper-
ating under the two-cent maximum
rate will now 60 on the basis of two
and a half cents.
The commission is not unanimous
in its award, Judge Prentis and Col
onel Willard voting for the increase
as asked by the roads and Jurge
Rhea dissenting and urging that the
old rate is now, to his mind unreason-
able or unjust. He holds that before
any increase whatever Is permitted
the roads should give assurance that
they will place on sale and keep on
sale books to be sold at two cents a
mile, said books to be for local travel
or Interchangeable. He also express
es the belief that the roads should
give their assurance before any action
Is taken looking to the termination of
the present rate cases in the federal
courts.
The order of the commission pro-
vides that the special rates as to mile
age books and travelling parties be
retained. The mileage boks will be
interchangeable good on any road in
the state. The opinion makes no ref
erence to this. but 1t is embraced in
the order of the commission. Copies
of the order will be transmitted to
all the railroads at once. These will
have to be printed in full and posted
in all stations 10 days before 1t cam
become operative, The law now goes
into effect.
