STATE BOUNDARIES.
How Alterations Have Been Made
ah Over the Country.
Tbe Changing- of the Lines Has Resulted
In the Lou of Large Tracts of
Land to Many of the East
ern States.
Connecticut's discovery that she is
some square miles larger than she sup
posed is not remarkable, since some
thing' of the kind has happened to per
haps every state and territory in the
union, says the New York Sun. Any
man who bets on state areas by the
figures of thirty years ago will lose.
The fathers of to-day who happen to
have good memories find themselves
puzzled when th'ey hear their children
reading areas out of the current school
textbooks. Anyone who will take
the trouble to compare the areas given
in the census reports of 1890 and those
in the reports previous to 1880 will find
surprising differences. The census su
perintendents don't trouble themselves
to ascertain areas. They accept what
they obtain from official sources. The
general land office is one source of infor
mation, and doubtless official state
surveys are accepted. In 1880 the su
perintendent of the census used a re
vised set of areas and Superintendent
Porter accepted the figures of that de
cade or followed the same authorities.
The superintendents of the census
adopt an arbitrary rule of regarding all
- regions having less than two inhabi
tants to the square mile as "unsettled."
In most of the New England and mid
dle Atlantic states there are no such
unsettled areas. Superintendent Por
ter found about 4,000 square miles of
the Maine woods and 1,000 square miles
of the Adirondacks region unsettled.
The other unsettled areas of the north
east arc hardly worth considering.
The discrepancies between the set
tled areas reported in the census of 1870
and those reported in 1890 arc rather
startling. New Hampshire lost in
those twenty years more than 450
square miles. Massachusetts gained in
the same time nearly 2o0 square miles.
Vermont lost nearly 1,100 square miles
and Rhode Island more than 200. Con
necticut gained 95 square miles. New
Jersey lost more than 350 square miles
and Maryland lost more than 1,200
square miles. Even poor little Dela
ware lost 100 square miles and in the
census of 1900 she will show a still dif
ferent area as the result of her recent
dickering -with Pennsylvania. As to
the newer states, which might reasona
bly be expected to show changes in set
tled area from one decade to another,
the figures given in the census reports
of 1870 and in those of 1890 vary in even
greater degree. Nearly all the larger
states, whether old or new, show con
siderable losses in area since- 1S70. New
York lost nearly 500 square miles;
' Pennsylvania rather mere t rfttn 1 ,000;
Virginia nearly 2,000, and North Caro
lina over 2,100. Florida (rained nearly
1,000 square miles, probably the result
of an extension of the settled area.
Ohio's grain of nearly 1,000 is hardly
traceable to the same source, though
trains of 800 square miles in Illinois and
430 in Iowa are probably assignable to
this cause.
THE RAILROAD IN PALESTINE.
Modern Civilization's Advances Into the
LahUs of the ruble.
The present is a kind of "Columbus
year" for Palestine, and in commemora
tion of the opening of the railroad in
the holy land an extra flag might ba
displayed at the great Chicago exposi
tion, writes Selah Merrill, United States
consul, in Scribner.
During the month of August, 1892,
tens of thousands of people for the
first time in their lives saw a railroad
and a train of cars. They had a revela
tion, and in the great city as well as in
the dirtiest village of the land wonder
was at its height. The excitement can
hardly be realized by the inhabitants of
other countries, to whom railroads,
perfected by the highest engineering
skill and with lavish expense, are ob
jects as familiar and common as a daily
newspaper. We forget that not very
long ago, in our own country, we had
only bridle-paths and scarcely a yearly
post, while railways and steamboats
had not even been dreamed of. Let all
the world rejoice if this medieval coun
try is experiencing a sensation which it
can hardly comprehend.
The significance of this event is not
that fifty-three miles of railway have
been built, or that the capital and the
seaport have been united by iron rails;
it is that this has been done in Turkey,
which has always, by all the prejudice
and force of its religion, by all the arts
of its diplomacy, and by every other
means at its command, done all in its
power to keep out western civilization.
It is, therefore, a well aimed spear
thrust in the side of this old despotic,
backward-looking government, and may
foretoken for it either the dawn of
health or the shadows of inevitable
death.

THE DALLES,
Wasco County,
The Gate City of the Inland Empire is situated at the head
of navigation on the Middle Columbia, and is a thriving, pros
perous city.
ITS TERRITORY.
It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agricultural
and grazing country, its trade reaching as far south as Summer
Lake, a distance of over two hundred miles.
The Largest Wool Market.
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope of the Cas
cades furnishes pasture for thousands of sheep, the wool from
which finds market here.
The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping point in
America, about 5,000,000 pounds being shipped last year.
ITS PRODUCTS
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding
this year a revenue of thousands of dollars, which will be more
than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Klickitat valley find market
here, and the country south and east has this year filled the
warehouses, and all available storage places to overflowing with
their products.
ITS WEALTH.
It is the richest city of its size on the coast and its money is
scattered over and is being used to develop more farming country
than is tributary to any other city in Eastern Oregon.
Its situation is unsurpassed. Its climate delightful. Its pos
sibilities incalculable. Its resources unlimited. And on these
corner stones she stands.
