Every year witnesses an increase in
the volume Of emigration westward
and thousands upon thousands OF
sturdy men and women have gone on
through territory vastly superior to
that in which they finally located
with no more care or observation en-
route than if in balloons and sailing
Through clouds. They have gone on
and on, often far beyond available
markets, and out into the wild lands
with no company other than their own
frequently hOme-sick selves. Others
will follow, and the throng will not
perceptibly lessen for years to come.
| Meantime not few of those already
settled are anything but satisfied-the
rigors of severe climate. the fire.
quence Of terrific storms, long hauls to
market, and other disadvantages natur-
ally creating desires to get back into
a country where these things do not
operate against general prosperity.
At no time possibly have matters ap-
peared in more propitious shape for
Eastern lines to enter into emigration
| measures than now, and, as usual, the
Baltimore and Ohio takes the initia-
tive. The corporation has among its
principal stockholders and officials
energetic and far.seeing men who,
realizing the Importance of the situa-
ton, have associated themselves in the
organization of an emigration company
with other gentlemen of undoubted
prominence in business circles, whose
success in great commercial under
takings stands as the strongest posi-
BILE guarantee of the future of the new
enterprise. 1t has already been in
corporated under the laws of the st ate

of one million dollars the Baltimore
