order of Knights of Pythias of Los An

sisted in the last sad rites over my de-

never grasped his living ones.
We also feel deeply grateful for the
comforting and tender words of our pas

song
To all the dear friends whose love and

after the first few months Austin Corbin
said that the venture would be a sue
cess, and just before he died he engaged
for the importa ton of 5000 additional
Italians, comprising about 600 families.
These arrived on the tract within the
past few weeks, and. are now being dis
tributed among the small farms ar
ranged for them.
Much of the last year of Austin Cor
bins life was devoted to perfecting his
unique scheme, and by it he hoped to
solve the problem of utilizing the wide
tracts of uncultivated lands in the
southwestern states. He had little
faith ir negro labor, and it was not un-
til the idea was suggested to him on
importing Italians that the colony took
definite shape.
When Mr.. Corbin originally purchased
the land it was for the purpose of pre-
serving it as a great hunting ground.
He was thoroughbred sportsman. and
every year visited the place for month
or two to fish and hunt. Most of the
tract is located in what is really an
island, formed by one of the freakish
bends of water called Lake Chicot.
This latter is unlike the average
Mississippi bayou, for instead of being
sluggish and stagnant. the water is al
ways fresh, being supplied by numerous
hidden springs. Lake Chicot teens with
1871, anu IlS NdHldStS as d means OF
gratifying a love of piscatorial sport
was the original reason which induced
the eastern millionaire to purchase the
lake and the surrounding land,
:. SUGGESTED BY A PRINCE.
Z Some years ago the Prince Rusapoli.
who was mayor of Rome for more than
a score of years, visited Mr.. Corbin. The
prince welded an American girl, a Miss
curtis. and was naturally interested in
everything American. Like Mr. Corbin,
ne was an ardent sportsman, and he eag-
erly accepted an invitation to hunt and
fish on the Arkansas tract.
Previous to this, Mr.. Corbin had en-
deavored to grow cotton on certain por-
lions OF the land, using negro help, but
he found the venture an improbable
one, owing to the generally thriftless
character of his laborers. In discussing
these matters with the prince, the latter
suggested the plan of importing Italian
families and dividing up the tract into
small farms.
This did not meet with favor at first
as Mr.. Corbin feared the Italians would
be tough customers to control. He point
ed out the fact that many planters in
Southern Louisiana had discarded negro
labor, replacing them with Italians, and
while the latter We're better Workmen.
their national prediction for shooting
and stabbing affrays interfered with the
successful conduct of a plantation quite
as much as the thriftlessness of the ne
groes.
The prince asserted that the troubles
of the Louisiana planters were largely
due to the character of the Italians they
employed. Most of these, he said came
from Southern Italy, many of them from
Sicily and Naples, and nearly all We're
members of the Malta and kindred dead
ly secret societies. Many CT them, too.
were discharged convicts and, all things
considered, it was but natural that the
employment of laborers belonging to this
doubtful class should be hazardous.
He suggested that Italian men, with
wives and children. from the north Of

most of them of fifty acres each, and
each farm is worked by frugal italian
family.
1t is but a trifle over a year since the
first batch of Italians were domiciled
on the tract, and the experiment at first
was regarded as a hazardous one. But

Italy, principally in Lombardy, should
be tried, and he promised, If Mr.. Corbin
fancied the experiment, to personally Sc
lect the men on his return to Italy. This
was finally agreed to, and the arrange
ments were at once made to prepare fol
the newcomers. These were made on an
extensive scale.
MANY SHIPPING FACILITIES.
A railway was constructed forty miles
in length, from Sunny Side. the nearest
town, to Hamburg, Ark, where connec-
tion is made with the Gould system of
railroads, affording transportation fa-
cilities to all parts of the country.
Landing places for the river steamers
were erected for the shipping of cotton
to northerly or southerly points on the
Mississippi, small farm houses were
erected and the necessary tools and I'M
plements purchased. provisions were
laid in. and then all was ready for the
experiment.
The first batch of colonists arrived the
first week in December of 1895. There
were 140 families, numbering 700 people.
These had been carefully selected blythe
Prince Rusapoli. and all of them were
farmers of Lombardy, where the natives
pride themselves on their Roman an
cestiy, the Romans who made Caesar
what he was.
They were a frugal, hardworking peo-
pie, and, unlike most Italians coming to
this country they were capitalists in
small way. They came with the per-
sonal guarantee of Prince Rusapoli that
If they found the country and the condi-
tions to their liking they could purchase
the farms allotted to them,
At this time nearly all OF the 140 fami-
lies now own their own farms, and their
success led to the second and larger i'm
portation. Owners of adjoining plarta-
tions are reaping benefits by the arrival
of the newcomers, as the original tract
