Notes and Personals

General Passenger Agent ]. J. Byrne OF
the Santa Fe yesterday furnished some in
teresting statistics relative. to- immigration
from Europe. The figures constitute the to-
tails of monthly report made up by the
western lines interested in this traffic, and
contain the number Of immigrants by every
Atlantic steamship line, TO each port, and
the final destination of all the steerage pas
sengers, no account being kept of those OF
the first and second cabins.
| The present report is that for the month
of April last, and 1t shows that in that period
| there were 1888 people landed as immigrants
of which 1926 came in via New York. the
rest by way of Philadelphia Boston, Balti-
more and Montreal.
These immigrants were sent to various
points, their division in destinations being
as follows: Oregon 25h, Arkansas, s.; Brit

more who come in first and second-c class

Wells, Fargo and Stamps
The action taken by the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company in forcing their patrons to
pay the cost of stamping receipts has
aroused much resentment against that COM
pany. The purpose of the law is plainly
to tax the corporation. not the shipper; yet
the officials here insist on issuing a receipt
whether 1t Is wanted or not, and adding to
the cost of transportation the one cent for
the stamp. 1t has been suggested that
test case should be made by which a shipper
could tender his package and decline a re-
ceipt when the company would refuse 10
accept his package, thus making a definite
issue. The railway companies, if person
does not wish a duplicate or triplicate of
bill of lading do not insist on issuing one,
and as they are required by law to give a
receipt for freight, they do this at their own
expense. The policy of the express COM
pany is regarded as contemptiby small and
tricky. The matter will doubtless be brought
attention nj a6
