In the New York to-Seattle auto

summer it will be remembered that
a Ford car was the first to reach
the exposition city, with the Shaw

pie claimed the prizes offered for
the winner of the race, but the
Shawmut people contested the
formers claim on the ground that
the drivers of the Ford car had vio-
lated the rules governing the race,
in several instances, but more par
ticularly that the engine which was

WHEN THE NATION
IS LANDLESS

While we have been sklmminR
along on the high tide of our pros
perity as new country have we
been giving enough thought to the
future? We have been able easily to
care for the great increase OF popula-
tion in the past because we had q
vast area OF nnoccnpied land. This
was the main asset in our natural
inheritance. Within practically
the last half of the las century the
whole country from the Mississippi
river to the Rocky Mountains has
been occupied. No pressure of pop
ulation could make itself severely
felt when it might be turned loose
in such vast empire of boundlets
-ferources. In those fifty years $50
million acres were added to the agri-
cultural area, an increase of nearly
goo per cent, while the Increase in
the actually improved acreage was
nsarly 800 per cent. This is now
cnt off from the list of our available
resources and we will nave TO figure
future calculations without it.
Within the last six years more
than one hundred million acers of
government land have been trans
ferred form public.to private owner
ship, an area twice the size of the
staue of Minnesota. The entire
area of surveyed and Incorporated
land within the Unned States il
only two and - ialY times tha,
amount. AT the present rate oil
settlement therefore every acre o.
public land will disappear within
the next fifteen years. But as larg'

The other extension to be made

Salt Lake cutoff, and this will be
supplemented by the contradiction of
a line from Salt Lake around the
southern shores of the Great Salt
Lake and out parallel with the West

Southern Pacific. The fact that The
Western Pacific may possibly be an
actual competitor for transoontlnen-
tal freight business has.nade it I'm
perative that the Hartman system
must cut down its mileage ard

the circuit from Evanston 10 Salt

of the lake would greatly reduce the
