IMMIGRATION.
| Tho people of this state-thoulh cOnRc,nns
of its gre at natural advantages oyer other
sta.es in climate, soil, production, the rich ~
and abundance of its mines and mineral TIo-
ducts its fertile prairie lands, intetsptrS,d
with timber Of on excellent quality, Its tiub r,
suitable not only for building but for manu-.
featuring purposes, and its rivers and streams
Of water--have not sought till recently to msse
known these great advantages to tho people IT
our slater states, or to tho people Of foreign
lands, The last legislature provided for tho
establishment Of board Of immigration, hut
the amount of money placed at its dap sal
was so inadequate to the expectations form d,

take hold of the question with vigor, and they
stepped to the front to supply the means ueo-
essary 10 plish the objects desired But
In the meanwhile tho state board Of immi-
grafton had prepared and published q smnll
pamphlet, giving description of the state by
counties, and an excellent map TO accompany
the same. The labors Of the state board Of
Immigration induced inquiry by the people

vantages which this state possessed. In
another portion Of this paper have shown that
sin September, 1875. to June, 1880, calling the
period Of time four years, tho population OF
this state naturally increased, and the increase
by immigration was about 10000 persons per
| year. The efforts Of the board Of immigration
were nblv supplemented hv the voluutarv as.
