INVESTIGATE LAND VALUES.

The division of information Of the
bureau of immigration is investigating
labor conditions and land values
throughout the United States with
view to helping persons find small
tracts of farm land
The purpose of the immigration Of
Gals is to stem the tioe OF American
emigration to Canada and to hold the
foreigners who come here. work and
make money and go back to the old
country to spend It.
Plenty of large tracts of land are
advertised but the bureau finds 1t
difficult to get information about five.
ten and fifteen-acre tracts.
When asked if the department of
commerce and labor had anything
similar to an employers agency the
officials explained that they could not
undertake to locate work and assign
workmen, but if laborers apply for
general Information as to where rail-
road, farm and other work can be had
they will be given the benefit Of gen.
eral information as to the labor mar
ket and where work Is to be had.
The bureau of immigration is try
ing to get Americans to buy lands In
the United States instead of going to
Canada, and to get emigrants to go
west and south instead Of crowding
in the cities of the east.
If the program of the bureau works
out we'll Commissioner O'Keefe thinks
the cost of living will be lowered by
bringing into good use much land that
is now lying idle.

During the decade from 1900 to

"In practically every census tahen
the whites have shown a more rapid
increase than the colored." said Mr..
Durand There has been no great
migration of the negroes from the
south, and nine-tenths Of their total
number are found in that section. The
natural rate of increase-that is. the
excess of births over deaths among
the white population of the south-is
much higher than that of the colored,
and of the whites in the north.
Among all classes of the popula-
ton the births of boys have eycseded
that of the girls, but equality appears
to be brought about by higher death

Mr.. Deakin is one OF those charm

Laurier or Mr. Balfour, who counts as
many warm personal friends amongst
his political opponents as he does
amongst his own partisans. He can
throw a halo of attraction around the

which one of his contemporaries has
expressed Mr.. Deakin's superlative
powers as an orator, and to these pow

mess for self-effacement which make
him a unique figure among present

less than in 1911. The output LAST
year was valued at s15o,000,000. an
increase of $16.OO0.OOO over that OF

production. because it was impossible
to keep up with the great output OF
1911 without large additional disccv-
cries of new pools in the older fields.
Its decline, however, was offset by the
increase in California. In all the fields,
except California and the Gulf OF
Mexico. there was q steady drain on
the accumulated stocks during the
year, which declined from S1.769,39O to
G9,00O.000 barrels.
The advent of internal combustion
engines, says Mr.. Day, promises an in
crease in the price of fuel oils. The
general use of these engines abroad
has pointed the way to rapid IN
crease in their use here, he says
Prices advanced so greatly during
the year as to stimulate drilling, even
