Rapid Increase Of Foreign-Born
Whites.

Comparing the percentages of in
crease of the foreign-born whites with
that of the native whites whether of
native or foreign parentage) from 1900
pears that in four of tre six divisions
of the North and West the foreign
born whites increased more rapidly
than the native whites, the difference
being especially conspicuous i'm the
Middle Atlantic division where the
foreign-born increased 462 per cent
and the native 10 per cent. There
has been much less immigration into
the West North Central division dur
ing the past decade than during the
| earlier decades. and the foreign-b born
whites in that division increased only
5.3 per cent from 1900 to 1910, as com
pared with 14.1 per cent for the nat
/ i've white In the Mountain division
also the foreign-born white increased
somewhat less rapidly than the native
white, although their percentage of
| increase was in itself large-51.6. In
the East and West South Central divi-
sions the native whites increased more
rapidly than the foreign-born whites,
but the opposite was true in the South
Atlantic division, where, however, the
/ foreign-born whites are still very
small proportion of the population.
BY reason of the aforementioned
differences in the percentage of in
crease as between the foreign-born
white and the native white, the for
eign-born white constituted a larger
percentage of the total population in
/ 1910 than in 1900 in the case of the
New England Middle Atlantic, East
| North Central, South Atlantic, and
Pacific divisions, while in the other
four divisions the percentage was
either lower in 1910 than in 1900 Or
was the same in both years
The native whites of foreign parent
age constitute large proportion of
the total population in those sections
where the foreign-born whites are
numerous. In New England they form
31.3 per cent of the total population.
In each of the other Northern divi-
sions, and also in the Pacific division,
they constitute more than one-fourth
of the total population. In the Noun
tain division they are 23.4 per cent of
the aggregate. In the New England
and Middle Atlantic division the nat
i've whites of foreign parentage form
ed larger, in all the other divisions
a smaller. percentage of the total popu-
lation in 1910 than in 1900.

Wheat Harvest, Delayed Few Days
Will Begin This Week,

Turon, June 2O.-Wheat is green
around Hutchinson and the northern
part of Reno county and harvest has
not yet started. From ten miles south
west of Hutchinson wheat is ripening
fast and many farmers are in the
fields cutting already. BY the end of
this week or the first Of next, harvest
will be in full swing.
Stafford, Barton and Reno counties
are well supplied with harvest help.
The wheat in Stafford county is bad,
in fact a very poor crop, and not many
men are needed. There are two men
for about every job.
Many farmers in Reno will not need
very much more help.
A call from Meade county in the
Hutchinson News says many men will
be needed for the harvest is estimated
at 100000 bushels.

SETTLE sHoPMeN STRIKE.
Rumor That Union Pacific Trouble
VIII Be Ended.

Denver, Colo, June 20.-A well-de-
1lned rumor was in circulation to the
erect that the strike of the shopmen
on the Hartman system, which has
been in progress for more than a year,
IS about to be settled. Union Pacific
officials in Denver said today that re-
ports of that kind have been current
several times within the past few
months but that as far as they knew
there were no negotiations in prog
reSS.
The strike includes the machinists,
blacksmiths, boiler makers and their
helpers on the Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Illinois Central and asso-
ciated lines. The general impression
among railroad officials and en-
ployeeS of other companies is that the
issues involved in the struggle have
been fairly well determined and that
now is the proper time to bring the
men and the companies once more in
to harmonious relations.
The Union Pacific has been running
its shops with full forces in this city
and as far as it is concerned, it is ap-
parently pleased with the present sit
uation. Many of the old employees
have moved away from Denver to
seek employment elsewhere and new
men have come in with their families
and located here. The full number of
men involved in the strike is between
5000 and 10000.

Steel passenger cars on the Pennsyl-

pounds, as against $4,000 pounds in
the standard vestibule wooden coach.
This increase in weight very greatly
reduces the vibration of the car, which
is noncollapsible.
