FARMERS MOVE
To CITIES

People move from the farm to
the city. accumulate wealth and
move back to the farm-better

Until 1910 the rural population
of the United States was showing
the increase. In 1920. 80 per cent
OF the population OF the unitef
States were ruralists or lived in
towns whose population did no:
exceed $500. Since 1910 rural popu-
lation has been showing IN actual
decline Farm population fell from
32.077. 900 in 1910 to about $4,000
600 on January J.. 1921.
The Department OF Agriculture
estimates that in April, 1925, IA
per cent of the farms in the United
States had different occupant! than
the previous year.
An investigation by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture to determine
the reason for the change CT popr-
lation. covering 2,475 operators
who had abandoned their acreage,
shows that most Of them had been
engaged in farming many years AMI
that about SO per cent hai given
up their endeavors for economic
reasons; high prices and high taxes
as compared to the low and un-
certain profits they received for
their commodities.
Twenty-Five per cent gave physi'
cal disability and old age az their
reason while many moved TO the
city to Oxford their children a better
opportunity for an education.

JOHN G|LPATR|CK PIONEER IF NORTH
 CALLED BY DEATH
OLDTlME RESIDENT OF SEWARD, DlscovERER OF MOOSE PASS
 PASSES AT ANCHORAGE

After a lingering illness, the last days of which were spent in the An chorage hospital, John c. Gilpatrick, a pioneer of Alaska since he first came to Kodiak in 1887. and uas- ident of Seward for more than 29 years, died this morning at Anchorage His wife, Mrs. Jessie Gilpatrick, was with him at the end.
 John Gilpatrick was known to prac ticaLy every man, women and child in Seward. He came here at about the time the city of Seward was founded which was coincident with the start ing of the old Alaska Central rail- road. He was a gunsmith by trade but also followed the mining game and has the distinction of being the discoverer of the Moose Creek min ing district, which he is said to have located with Fred Spragus.
 After coming to Seward, MT. Gil patrick was guard at the city jail here for a number of years during the regime of U. S. Marshal Evans, and afterwards for at least 10 years past he has been night watchman at the city dock in the employ of the Alaska Railroad.
 He was born at Lisbon, Maine, August II, 1852, having passed his 76ta birthday, a week ago Saturday. Before coming to the North in the ,aary days, he had been connected with a gun and sporting goods store in the Northwest and in later years here was fond of outing and hunt ina trips, having bagged much big game in his time.
 For the past year he had been fail ing gradually, but heart disease is as- ca.p9d as the immediate cause of his d lise. He was taken to Anchorage
 forepart Of the week, but it was re lized at that time that his chances for recovery were very slim. His body will be brought back to his home to night, and after consulting the wish es of his widow, it is probable, his friends say, that he will be buried under the auspices of the Alaska Pioneers, and in the Pioneer plot in the Seward cemetery.
