nOME. July 10. — (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) — Uncon
firmed reports that Prince Edward
Albert of Wales, heir apparent to the
British throne, seeks the hand of Prin
cess Yolanda, the eldest daughter of
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, have
excited widespread discussion here.
The rumor Is a surprise to Italians
generally, for It had been supposed
that the British prince would marry
one of the daughters of Emperor Ni
cholas of Russia, but there are a num
ber of incidents that have led the Ital
ian people to believe that Prince Ed
ward will marry the Princess Yolanda.
It Is now stated that the reason of
the visit of the Duke of Connaught
to the Italian king in May was to pre
sent the formal request of the king
and queen of England for the hand of
the Princess Yolanda. The princess is
only fifteen years old, and the prince
Is only twenty-two. She received an
English education from babyhood un
der the tutelage of an English gov
erness, Miss Brown, and those who
know her intimately have spoken of
her as one of the beBt marriageable
prospects In European royal families.
She Is said to be extremely sensible
and practical, having been brought up
in a family that is peculiarly domestic,
and being the oldest girl In the family,
her royal intimates say she has been
regarded as the “boss" of the house
hold. She has always acted as the
protectress of her younger sisters and
her brother, Prince Humbert. Some-'
times she has extended this role even
to her mother, the queen. The latter,
on one occasion recently, when speak
ing to the American wife of an Italian
journalist, said, "I rarely attempt to
speak Knglish because Yolanda insists
on correcting my mistakes.”
The princess strongly resbmbles her
mother, having dark hair and eyes, j
an olive complexion, and the slow
Bmile not unlike the famous one in
the Mona Lisa paintings. She has
been given even more of the modern
outdoor education than many of the
Italian girls who have followed the
English and American custom. She
pluys tennis well, rides, swims and is
an excellent pistol and rifle shot.
Since the war began she has been
the constant companion and aid of her
mother in the work among the poor
families of soldiers and in the hospi
tals, particularly the latter.
The princess is a Catholic, and the
English law does not allow of the oc
cupancy of the British throne by a
Catholic, but among those who wish
to see the marriage carried out It is
recalled that in recent years certain
princesses have changed their reli
gion in order to become queens. The
queen of Spain became a Catholic on
her marriage, while the queen of
Greece adopted the religion of the
country for the same reason.
Should the marriage not take place
the fact may some day develop that
it was because the princess so willed.
The Italian royal family is known to
be sufficiently converted to demo
cratic ideas not to insist on a wedding
which the princess fails to view with
full approval. As the throne of Italy
cannot be inherited by a woman, the
marriage of a royal princess has not
the far-reaching political importance
that is true in the case of the prince
of Wales. The war having apparently
eliminated both German and Austrian
suitors, if the Princess Yolanda mar
ries in neither England or Russia, she
may after ail marry in Italy, where
many of the princely houses consider
themselves quite as good as the
House of Savoy.
The Italian royal ramuy ia iar
thier than the English royal family,
being rated only second as to that
of Russia in wealth, and much of this
•wealth Is in cold cash, not in unde
veloped lands.

WASHINGTON, July 24. — That
Jiereafter there should be a slow In
crease In the output of beef and mut
ton In the range states of the west,
but that this Increase is likely to be
accompanied by an increase in the
cost of production, are the chief con
clusions of a report on "hive Stock
Production in the Eleven Far West
ern Range States,” which the depart
ment of agriculture has JuRt pub
lished. The report discusses the rea
sons for the long decline in meat pro
ductlon In the west and explains why
there is reason to believe this Is now
a thing of the past.
Between 1910 and 1914 the year in
which the investigations on which the
report is based were made, the num
ber of live stock In the eleven states
of Trizona, California, Colorado, Mon
tana, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Ore
gon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming,
declined about 13 per cent. For this]
reason the report holds the settle- J
ment of public lands and the conse- j
quent reduction of the range primarily
responsible. Other causes have con
tributed to the downward movement,
but it is pointed out these have been
more than offset by high prices and,
therefore, more profitable range ani
mals, and the general agricultural de
.velopment which have favored pro- j
duction by leading to more wide
spread adoption of the practice of j
winter feeding and winter pasturing j
on alfalfa and cultivated crops.
The prediction that this decrease
will give way to an increase Is based
upon the belief that the amount of
live stock on farms and homesteads
will be greater in the future, that
the stock ranges in the national for
ests will continue to Improve, that
the carrying capacity of the stock
ranges on the public domain may be
increased by legal regulations, and
finally that high prices of range ani
mals and better methods will result
In more efficient utilization of the
available forage, or, in other words,
a greater production per unit of for
age.
Other factors, though less import-,
ant, that should tend to increase the
future production of live stock are
greater economy in the use of for
age, both on the range and the farms,
the use of more high grade bulls and
better management of the breeding
animals through the year. The last
two, It is said, offer the possibility
of increasing the calf crop five to
ten per cent, and the average weight
of two-year-old steers perhaps thirty
pounds.
Where winter feeding is practised
It is believed that a yearling steer will
cost approximately $30, and a "long”
two-year-old $45. In the range sections j
of the southwest, on the other hand,
jthe costs may be estimated at from
$15 to $13 for a yearling and $20 to
$25 for a two-year-old. With sheep
there is a similar variation. In Cali
fornia, the cost of producing a lamb
is placed at $1.55, in the southwest
at $1.71, and in the northwest at $1.82.
Jn considering these figures it must
be remembered that they all may be
materially altered by increasing or
decreasing the percentages of births
in the herds and flocks. Better me
thods, it is pointed out, will almost
certainly increase the calf and lamb
crops, and in this way reduce the
cost of production per head.
In estimating these costs the in
vestigators charged against the stock
the market value. In the vicinity, of
all the feed consumed.
