WESTERN SENATRS PROTEST
Ruling Of interior Department Is Ur

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a recent
ruling OF the department of the inter-
Tor relative TO the assignment of hold
ings upon reclaim alton projects is
arousinR vigorous protest from west.
ern sen nators aud congressman and is
causing considerable hardship to eet-
tiers who wish to cell parts OF their
farm unite. Efforts have been made
by Senator Borah to induce the secre-
tary of the interior to reverse the rul-
ing and in case he is unsuccessful the
matter will be taken to the president
or brought to the attention of con.
gress. Western senator's declare that
the intent OF law and its plain con.
struc,ion are ignored by the ruling
that assignments must conform to the
established farm units a. filed in the
land office. The ruling also defeats
the l6,fposes OF t1's reclamation ACT In
th at it discourages and makes difficult
subdivision of large farm units, re-
stricting the possible number of SET
tiers on projects and obstructing the
advancement of intensive GUILTY. alton
of small farm units.
The Lower Yellowstone project in
Montana is the only one in that state
where practice and experience show
lat smaller subdivisions can be made
with profit. The auntley and the Sun
River farm units are considered al.
ready email enough, although expert.
ence has shown that the best results
are obtained upon the 10acre farm.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - In the
United States and oil its possessions
the stars and stripes protect l0l, ,l00,-
600 souls.
This is the official estimate of the
United States census bureau, snnounc-
ed today In connection with the popu-
lstion statistics for the country, ss
enumera ated in the thirteenth decennisl
census.
It includes the Philippines, Samoa,
Guam, Hawaii and the Panama canal
zone.
Within its borders on the North
American continent, exclusive OF Al.
asks, the United States has . popula=
ton of 81, ,972,266
In the last 10 years the states Of the
Union had an increase in population
of Is. 977 ,69l. which amounts to 81 per
cent. over the 1900 figures.
Since the first census was taken Ia
1870, the country has grown 25 times
as large, the population then having
been 3,929, ,2l4, slightly larger than the
present popul lation of Texas.
The growth of the country was great
er than had been anticipated By the
statistici ans who have closely watched
the progress of the United States po.
pulation, still it was smaller than
that scored in any previous decade
except that between 1890 and 1900,
when the increase amounted to 20.7
per cent.
In q statement explaining the in.
crease of population of the continental
United States to 1912, ,266 Director
Durand attributed the growth largely
to greater net additions through i'm.
migra alton.
He finds wider disparity in the
growth of the different states in the
last decade than for any other. The
range is from q decrease OF Sc per
cent to an increase of 120 per cent in
w ashington.
"The states showing the lowest in.
crease, falling below 10 per cent" be
said. "are Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky
