Az a general rule, immigrants seek
the same climatic conditions in this
country that they left in their own.
Fort Worth Is on the same latitude that
Alexandria, Egypt, Is, and the line runs
through the northern part Of the desert
Of Sahara. ST. Paul is little south Of
Paris, France, New York is on about the
snme latitude as Rome Italy. The
Gulf stream. and the influence of the
Mediterranean prevent the climate being
| the same at the same latitude IN the old
country and the new, but the influence
! OF latitude Is nevertheless so strong that
while II Is a comparatively easy matter
10 attract European emigrants 10 the
northwestern states, It Is difficult to
bring them to the southwest because
we are so much south Of any lines they
have been acquainted with. AS a rule
they would emigIute to Africa about as
/ sool as they would come to Texas, which
Is of the same latitude. Of course the
! immigrant don't reason It ont IN this
way, but the effect upon him is plainly
seen by glance at the foreign consdm-
ents IA the northwest and southwest aud

class Of immigration received, IL Is

large proportion OF native born Ameri-

deserve attention 80 that the work Of in
duclpg immigration may be concentrated
where It win prove successful and the
hest results obtained Reoplng a new

it to the fair and help swell the grand

A Golden Opportunity,

New York claims one of the richest
bachelors in the world. This rara avis
bears the name of Eugene Higgins, and
his fortune is estimated at $40. 200 900
Mr.. Higgins is thirty-fve years Of age,

penchant for fine horses he is a spirit
TIED whiD and has figured as the hero

Urges against him is his lack of sus-
ceptibility, which is the despair OF
anxious bellies and designing mammas
From matrimonial point of view, Mr..

The Shreveport Fair Association is

Mrs. Williams was one Of the pio-
