The Indian reservation is loeatd lm

oat minion acre takca up by tlio moiin-
ttlna, and alike amount to bo allotted to
tha lndiaus, leaving about two million acres
' to be thrown open to whim settlers. The
lands occupied by the mountains is onlv
available for grazia purposes and rich In
gold, silver, tin and coal. These arc still to
1st developed.
WELL WATERED.
The lands outside of the mountains are
undulating prairie, well watered with liv
ing streams of water is Wund by digging at.
dapthi of twenty to thirty feet. All the
streams bear a more or I ess fringe of tun
ber, while large areas are .covered with a
growth of inestpiltc. trees, a timber which
make good fence pests and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and some stream! bear
a growth of timber hree onoiigh tq saw Into
lumber. Any or all of these timber lands
are productive, and will make Hue farms,
Dv an set of congress npuroved June II,
O00, the above rcservtuion is to be opened
to settlement. On the north side of this
reservation Is another known as the' Wichita
reservation, which mav be included at the
aame time, but this Is not yet known. The
layr opening the reservation, provides ihat
the allotments shall ha made In from three
to six months, and makes It jhe dutv of the
President to issne a proclamation opening
the country within six months nftr the al
lotments are made. It is not likely that
the President will taka the six moatbs, and
and lie may issue his proclamation 'Immedi
ately arter the allotments are made. . Thus
It may be sseu the lands may be open at any
time from the early spring to summer of
next year

How many persons were there" in
Cncle Sam's big family on June 1? If
this noble American sire is not quits
like the fabled dame of -Mother Goose,
who had "so many children. hp riirln't
know what to do." he has
that lie isn't sure but once in ten years
what the total number of his ofl'sTiring-
ia, sap uie ew xorK ilerald,
-Measured by the per cent, of gain
ueieen me censuses of JS80 and lsuo
which was 24.6. the nnnnlntinn t k
i-uueu. mates to be disclosed by the
national roll call, just completer),
should reach a total of 77,830,000. As a
mailer of fact, it does not seem likely
that the total will exceed 7C.(WO,(H;0,
and probably will not reach that figure!
Several noteworthy factors have
been at work to effect this, to ninny,
surprising result.. Immigration has
fallen oif to a remarkable degree. In
the ten years ending June 30, JSU0-,
4,840,000 persons entered this country
from foreign lands. In the decade
closing with June 30 of this year al- j
most a million Jess will have sought an
asylum on America's shores. These
figures omit the immigrants from Can
ada and .Mexico.
The reason for this mnrl,,1 ,Vorno:
in immigration lies very plainly in the
hard times period of Isns-'M
noou of C.M.084 Tiersnna nf,.,i ,i,
United .States in the fiscal year of 1S02.
iwo years later the total was barely
half as great, and so far spread was
the news of our business and lincncial
distress that in 1808 the immigrant
were only 220,209, the smallest number
since 1879.. An increased total last year
has been followed by a greater one lhis
year, so that the coming decade ivill
probably see a return' to the huge im
migration figures of the early 80s.
Coincident with the decline in im
migration, due to the business critic
must be reckoned a decline iu the nat
ural growth in' nomilnt inn Ali-.,..L.,.

tinancial conditions oncrate not nni,-
to increase the death rate, but also t
ueerease the birth rate. Aside ft,
this it is a notable fact that the nnr
cent, of natural Growth of nminlnii,
has been constantly and- ranidlv fin-
creasing in th country for a. whole
century. Jf we correct the admitted
errors in the census tables of 1870, it
will be found that the ratio of increase
of population by niifnral growth in
each decade Has steadily dropped from
35.C in the 11,10 period, to 14.1 in the
1881-90 period. In other words, therp
was born to t lip average community o!
1,000 inhabitants between 1801 .! tm
35G children, while to a similar com
munity between 1SS1 and 1800 'there
were born only 141 children.

would naturally, in hard t
to spend their savings in taldrs a long
trip into the west.
How much influence this lntt,.-
sideration had is potently illustrated
by the figures of some of the western
Mates' censuses. Thus, Minnesota,
which grew more than Gtl pP1 cent be
tween 1SS0 and. 1S90, gained but 2l'per
cent, in the five years following, Kan
fas, which added 4.1.2 per cent, to her
population between 1880 and 1S90 ac
tually lost 0.4 per cent, between 180.)
and 1803. Jn both these cases probacy
the lack of new settlers from foreign
lands was not more marked than the
slackening of immigration from other
states.
