home had nothing to lose by owIiing q home
In Louisiana as q gift. OF course There were
a fewyexeeptione, hut many had TO be car
fied by merchants and many sold out their
acknowledgements and left. The remarkable
numher.of cash sales is strong corrobera-
tlnn Of the assertion as to the thrift Of the
immigrants
Another very obvious and striking feature
of this immigratiOnis that IL is so pnedoml-
nantly Western
Now they fraterni2e in the hearty oordiali-
ties of mutual respect and cementing in

lkota with It's twelve outnumbeFs the contri-
buttons of Massachusetts,, Vermont, New

This Western immigration shows what
work will do.
Ihaye said that Carey, Knapp and Thorn
son are from Iowa. The Caleasieu Lumber
Co. has some strong representatives from
Michigan. Mr.. y, b. Watkina Is from KAN
sas, and he has done avery novel work there.
But this Michigan, Kansas and lowe influ-
enee represents considerably over third Of
the results Of immigration to Caleasieu
And &c is criterion for other parishes. The
lesson is, If you want immigration yeu must
ge0rk.
