EMIGRATION STOPPED.
Porto Rico Will Afford Employment

San Juan de Porto Rico, April 26.-It is
not likely that more emigration agents
will come here Those already here had
1000 natives recruited fer Hawaii and
expected to ship 1000 of them ON the
steamer California Wednesday, but she
sailed with only 544 ernigrants. The
agents announce that this is due to the
opposition Of the planters who wish to
retain the laborerS available until har-
vesting begins and therefore any fur
ther attempts on a large scale to pro-
mote emigration viii be useless.

FACTS ABOUT THAT BRIDGE
Silver Lake and Dover TOWNSHIPS
Are Practically Unanimous.
+1,o T-S7itc,- - +1,e

Silver Lake and Dover Townships
Are Practically Unanimous.
To the Editor of the State Journal
We notice in Thursdays State Journal
that the county commissioners are sti1l
in deep trouble" over the location of
two of the proposed Kansas river
bridges. This surely does not apply to
the proposed bridge between Dover and
Silver Lake. The people of these town
this bridge as the petition of the voters
and tax payers will show. On the same
day last week petitions We're circulated
in these townships. In Silver Lake, out
of the 285 voters, the petition was signed
by 268. which is about 95 per cent, and
in Dover township not a single person
refused to sign.
Tt has been said that the people of
taese townships are selfish. That they
want the bridge in their fdooryards''
This assertion we most earnestly deny
The people are unit in this matter. are
perfectly willing that the bridge be 10
named in the petition, but insist that the
location be made north of Valencia and
south Of Silver Lake village at a point
as nearly direct between the two towns
as in the judgment of the honorab bic
board seems practicable.
The county has aided in building the
Kansas avenue bridge at a cost of $780,
COO and as one of the new bridges will
be placed between North Topeka and
Oakland. the dear people in the "roaral
deestricts think that a large share Of
the appropriation should be expended in
the country. And while we are talking
about Taater Topeka, let US broaden cut
little anc say greater Shawnee county.
