be regretted that neither New York

distinction Is none the less clear,

Lesson to Be Learned.

According to the United States CEN
sus, the population in California
cities of over one hundred thousand
people has increased, in the decade
rom 1900 to 1910, from 80 to 1878 per
cent. The population in districts out
side of cities of ten thousand and over
las decreased from $50 per cent. In
1900, to ACT per cent, in 1910. Most
Of this decrease of the percentage of
population of agricultural districts has
gone to the big cities OF owe one
hundred thousand.
This clearly shows the prevailing
tendency. 1t also shows the grave
necessity for building cities that are
fit places for the permanent housing
Of the larger part of the population.

GARDEN PLOTS FOR TIE POOR
Suggestion Made at Washington That

Vegetable garden plots on the Ana

to the commissioners by Charles Royle

ceived with much interest by the COM
missioners and other district officials,
and may be the subject of a request
for appropriations when the next es-

The suggested plan calls for the ae
quirement by the district government
of the river front, the subdivision Of

LEGAL ENTANGLEMENTS TO FOL.
LOW DEATHS FROM Acci.
DENT At MASON CITY.

Mason City, Sept. {. - Legal en-
tanglements will doubtless arise In the
recent Winneshiek county auto acct
dent which resulted In the death OF Mr..
and Mrs. w. c. Hobart. Both were
wealthy and had money In their own
names. When they were found be-
Meath the car dead and an examination
made, Mrs. Hobart had about $1,000
tied in her corset, and they had 81, 500
worth Of diamonds on their person.
What the lawyers are now trying to
ascertain is which one was killed Hrst.
Mr.. Odds, a banker at Charles City, was
the first mar to discover them, and
they wer both dead, according to his
story.
1t will be impossible to establish
which one died first. Both had chill.
dren from a previous marriage and
through them the effort Is being made
to adjust matters. Attorneys from st.
Paul and Minneapolis have been over
the scene and have interviewed those
who might be able to throw light on
the question, but no progress has been
made. It is hoped that papers which
may be found later will help to solve
the problem.
