lat Friday and Saturday. ave are hav-
ing the greatest immigration movement
just now that We have ever experienced.
Iowa leads all the other states in the
number Of people who are emigrating to
other parts of the country. Thousands
Of people are selling their farms in that
state and moving to Colorado, Kansas
and Oklahoma, where they secure as
productive lands at much lower prices.
The Rock Island carried a large per
centage of the people who have settled
up the new lands in western Oklahoma
to that section.
Indiana and Illinois people are also
moving and many are buying Iowa lands
sold by those who are seeking greater
opportunities further west. came west
this time to bring a party Of Iowa men
TO Investigate the prospects OF western
Kansas and eastern Colorado. Some OF
these men have bought stock farms and
grazing lands near Burlington and Good
land. One party of immigrants brought
cut by this department purchased 1900
acres of land south of GOOdiand, near
the state line, watered by fork of the
Smoky river The land will be used for
grazing purposes and to grow feed for
live stock.
1T is hard TO comprehend the i'm
mense increase in travel to the west in
the past year or two a majority OF which
is homeseekers and immigrants. We
have representing this department of the
road nearly hundred real estate men in
various parts of the west, and can usually
direct immigrants to just the sort of a
ranch or farm property they are looking
for. During the past year our Kansas
City passenger Office has increased ticket
sales more than 100000, and that is
fair example of the increase experienced
at other points There was never a time
when the outlook appeared brighter for
western Kansas and eastern Colorado"
A o. Casteel, A. W. Weimer and J. F.
Rink, of GeneseO, Ill, came with Mr..
Wishart and are the men that purchased
the 1900 acre ranch. John Nye, of
Chicago, was also with the party and
made the sale.

A few days ago General Chaffee was ca
bled that he could have either the. COM

man to make him release his death grip"
Langlois Joined the Lincoln Park police
force last September and since then has
saved five persons from drowning, one Of
them being a woman, in the lagoons Of the
park in the lake.
When he sees a person In danger OF
drowning he says he never has a feeling
of hesitation or fear. Langlois was engag-
ed in 1895, when the fire boat Yosemite
sprung a leak and put out her fires in the
lake of Jackson Park. There were ten
men on her and the life-saving boat that
put of to her assistance had seven men.
When the firemen were taken aboard the
boat was overcrowded and upset. Then
came a hard struggle TO save some Of
the flremen from drowning. They were
all finally got back into the boat, howev-
err and to save IL from another mishap the
nfe-savers hung on to its sides until it
reached shore.
In view OF the frequent accidents and oc-
casional fatal ones which occur there, the
Lincoln Park commissioners have purchas-
ed a surf boat and Langlois has been COM
missioned to pick out and drill from the
park police a life-saving crew to man 1t.
This will be means hereafter of saving
many a life.
Langlois is feet IL inch in height and
is an athlete in build and strength. He is
married and has wife and two children,
of whom he is prouder than Of all his life
saving feats.
