SETTLEMENT OF RANGE WARS. talk fluently and loud enough to be heard distinctly all over the aphithe uire, ami mat neretoioro when men were knocked out they were not. able to do this for some time. If some of the institutions coming into the country with all or the "back ing" needed at their back would do more "vork. and less talking they would inspire more confidence. The The range war will soon be n thing of the past, according to a prominent wool grower. It will not be settled by law or fighting, in that gentleman's people hardly know why it is that in- opinion. The conditions that will stitutions so splendidly "backed" are settle the range war are already form- seeking to get the money to mako Ing. Individual ownership will settle their enterprises a-go out of the peo- tho question. In a very few years the pie.

Already they have ac quired all of the good lands where The negvoes are now debarred from tho republican party's deliberations in I AI..1 "titi. i .... . water is convenient, and now they wnen 1110 repuuueans naopt ire looking out for the mountains this Pn throughout the South It will and every other spot that can be made "esIn to look alarming for the solid available for grazing purposes. They go on the theory that if a tract even . in the remotest places and of the most ' barren appearance, is worth grazing on and scrapping over it is worth ac quiring. This they are doing in every way possible. They are buying it, homesteading it, reclaiming it under the desert acta and getting possession of all that they can In the quickest possible time. And at the rate it is being taken up by new-comers it behooves the stock men and sheepmen not to permit tho grass to grow under their feet in tho matter. Every paper in the remote sections of tho country is filled with filing notices. Many of them have been established alone for the purpose of reaping the harvest brought about by this wholesale land taking. Tho principal editorials, locals and per sonals of some of these sheets are lnd notices. Land-acquiring is now at its heighth in Oregon and Wash Ington. Such a rush has never before been known in the history of the coun try. Land heretofore regarded aa worthless is now being taken as rapid ly as settlers can file upon It. With all of It taken the poorest will be val uable. There is not a foot that is not good for something. The man who fails to exercise his right now Is likely to make a mistake; it will all Et-on be taken that Is worth taking, The stockman and sheepman who does not acquire large Individual pos sessions will elthe have to move or go out of business. Tho land will bo as essential as stock in the future in this country to tho stockman. But the man who posesses both need never fear-for the future. In the com bination there Is a great fortune. Many already possess both and this Is already tho richest stock country tor Its age to be found. With the sheepmen and stockmen owning their lands the range wars will close; tho sheepmen wi'.! be better able to pro tect tnemalves against the coyotes also, and with all of theso things brought about there Is no telling what tueifuture iof this .country; will bring. It Is great, already. The San Francisco Examiner stjp Insists that the FltzsImmonsrJeffrlefl fight was a fake. The mayor of San Francisco received a letter the nlgt of thejfigbt previousito thought that' It would bo ended In the eighth round The Examiner claims that 'when Fiji Simmons Bpoke to JefTriesIn the ring he' said "Hit mo now!' ""As 'another, that jFKzsinunoos.urapst Jnstantly af- "4t'4he knock-out blow waaable to South. It is the lugro Question that has so long kept a solid South. The white people of the South regard white supremacy as the only hope they have for the future of that coun try. sea. The United States promptly de clined this and offered in return to continue straight across tho continent tho boundary of 49 degrees cstab llshed by the convention of 1818 from Lako of tho Woods to the summit of tho Rocky mountains. The British refused this offer, so tho country remained In Joint occu pancy, tho British filling it with fur posts and getting thereby n much firmer actual hold on tho country than the Americans until about 1840 when American settlers began to pour into the disputed regions. By 1843 3,000 had arrived. That made it cer tain that America could never accept the Columbia river as the boundary. Hot-headed congressmen were for Kolng ahead and giving the settlers title, thus serving notlco on Great Britain that tho United States pur posed to hold the disputed territory against all coiners. Senator Benton and others so strongly advocated tho cause of tho settlors that great inter est was at last aroused in the boun dary question, and the democrats made their campaign of 1844 on tho popular plank of "54-40 or fight." They won the election but they didn't fight. Polk's administration was weak and Buchanan, his secretary of state, was too timid a man for tho placo. The latter decided - to back down and revive tho 4!Kh' parallel proposition. Great Britain alarmed by the war spirit in the United States, accepted this compromise in 184C. Had we had a Cleveland or a Roosevelt for president when Polk was, the United Spates would have got somewhat more, not only in "Oregon," but along the whole northern boundary from! Lake of the Woods, for tho popular spirit was in favor of shoving up tho whole boundary, though there was dispute only as to that portion of it west of the Rockies. Minneapolis Journal. SOUTHERN CHILD LABOR. To those who do not believe that men are receiving as high as $8 a day to work in the harvest fields in U.natllla county it is proper to state that it Is a fact that the wages range here from $2 to $8 a day, and there are tew idle men besides, although there is work for all at these prices ino untario uemocrat announces that it will not take patent medicine advertisements. It says that when It becefmes necessary to take that kind of business the paper will suspend. And now it is reported that tho women are naming their babies Tra cy. A SHORT HISTORY OF FIGHT." "54-40 OR The keen Interest recently aroused in the United States regarding west ern Canada has revived Interest In tho boundary settlement that kept the northwestern part of this country a 49 degrees north latltudo Instead o 54 degrees and 40 minutes. Briefly here are the facts of the controversy and tho settlement: Tho "Oregon country" extended from the northern boundary of Mex ican or Spanish territory on the Pa clfic coast, the parallel of 42 degrees north, to tho southern boundary of Russian possessions, wherever that might bo. Russia, the United States and Great Britain claimed the wholo of this region In a general way, though none of them expected to make good its title to so much. The American claim was based on contiguity, dls covery, exploration, ceded French and Spanish claims, fur trade and later on settlement. Tho English claim was based on exploration, contiguity, dls covery and tho establishment of trad Ing posts. The Russian claim rested on the question of the proper bound dary of Alaska, unquestionably held by Ivusala. In 1824 the United States agreed wlth:Ru3sia that-it would abandon all elailn to'lands northlof 54-40, If Rus sia would abandon hor .pretensions, to all region's' south of that line. That agreement left the United States and Engjand-tp 'divide between .themselves the 'country .from .42 to 54-40. IPro5 vious to that timo, In 181$, tho United States- and ,ureat iuntain had agreed to look upon the Oregon country aa, common' .territory;;ppn tot, settlement and exploitation by botli parties to tho agreement, leaving the, line to bo settled In the future. Ini 1824 tho United States offered to restrict ,the territory m dispute by surrendering all claims north of 81 degrees. Th,e English rejected .this offer and dh iitDcu mu liuiumoia river tas mo boun dary from tho Rocky mountains to the Gratifying reports come from tho South of the progress of the move ment for putting an end to the sys tem of child labor which now prevails In the factories of that section of the Union. The movement is being sup ported by potent forces In tho South Itself, and Is not dependent wholly or oven mainly by the agitation of Northern reformers. One of the chief factors in tho campaign of education is the asso ciation of women's clubs. In those or ganizations are a large number of earnest, energetic and influential wo men who are making special efforts just now in the various states to bring about legislation which- will put an end to the evil. Tho activity of the clubs is especially notable in Georgia and It is announced that the leaders of that state have already prepared for the restriction of child labor well-devised bill, whose adoption they will urge upon the legislature as soon as it meets. It must not be supposed that the women a;e alone In the fight. The subject has long been under consider ation in all of the Southern states Many of the most eminent of South ern leaders have advocated reform, and while the desire of the people to encourage the establishment of mami factures has led them to hesitate to interfere with the management of the mills and the labor supply, there Is an Increasing public sentiment in fa vor of putting an end to the excessive employment of the labor of young children. o The Atlanta constitution, in re viewing the progress of tho campaign for reform, says it Ib now certain that In tho end the reformers will win, and It advises tho mlllmen to make terms while they can. It says: "There Is enough of both morality and business sagacity among the mill men of tho South to present a satis factory solution of tho problem one that wjll abolish tho menace of gen eratlons of stunted, overworked and Illiterate factory oporatlves and y.et allow the reasonable employment of those who are fit to labor and who need both the work and tho wages Thls'can bo done without Imperiling the Investments or cutting down dis astrously the profits In the cotton milling Industry of tho South." From such statements of leading papers In the South it Is safe to draw tho conclusion that the mlllmen will no longer bo able to convince South ern legislatures that child labor Is necessary to the maintenance of Southern factories, ,or that laws against child labor would be .a denial of the freedom of contract that Is tho natural right of every Individual Consequently while reform may -be delayed for a tlmo the probability Is the time will be much shorter than was feared. In tact, tho mlllmen may thorasolv'efl seo the folly of longer(bp poslrig tho reform movement, and Join with the reformers In promoting me passago or fair measures at (the vuuiuif, bcboiuub ui una various jeg- luiuiurcn.TtBau rTancisco .Call.
