They believe the Beers evacuated the
position during the night, trekking
northwardly in three directions. Gen

feet a junction at any moment.
London, May 3-News Of the occu-
patton of Brandfort was issued by

Cronje and the relief of Ladysmith.
The position gives the key to one of
the main roads leading to Drakems-
berg passes, which possibly may be
the means of cooperation with Gen

the New Development of WASH

Idea of the Future-Prepares n
Table Showing the Areas of Land,
which VIII Interest Immigrants.

State immigration Agent D. b. Ward
has prepared an elaborate report for sub
mission to the state government covering
immigration conditions of Washington.
He estimates that 5000 people have moved
into the state during the past year, and
has most sanguine impression of the
future. In connection with his document
is an elaborate table. showing the sur
veyed. unsurveyed and areas Of other
lands. by land districts. which has been
changed in this presentation to give the
totals by counties. The report has been
prepared with much care. and Mr.. Ward
believes it will be of benefit to those de-
string information about this state. 1t is
given in full herewith:
That the state OF Washington, with
Its great diversity OF soil. climate and
products, is attracting the attention of
thousands OF people now living in the
Middle West and farther East is patent
to everyone at all familiar with the
facts The volume of inquiry. which one
year ago and previously had been very
considerable, has increased until IL has
reached such proportions as would lead
to the belief that 1900 will witness a
larger immigration than ever before ex-
perienced In the history of the state.
This view OF the case Is fully sustained
by reports brought back by our own
people, who have recently visited the
East. All tell of the lively interest taken
In this country, and the desire for re-
liable Information with reference there
to. From the general tone Of the many
