The two trains were the "Twin City"

The fast freight southbound received
an order at Dodge Center reading hat

crew evidently misread the order and
attempted to make Vlasaty Siding, be-

Vlasaty. The morning was foggy, and

to stop, although the engineer of the
limited had applied the air brakes.
That the two trains came together

immigration Commissioners Sarasnt's
Warning Against Ignorance.
Warrington, July &.-'The unparal-
leled tide of undesirable immigration
from southern Europe to the United
States has become a positive danger to
WINGED the time has come to put a check
to it." declared Frank p. Sargent immi-
grafton commissioner.
Just now. when there is a large de-
mand for unskilled labor at fair wages,
the danger is not so apparent to the gem
erned by the past. these conditions will
change and we will have hard times SOON
er or later.
when that time comes there will be a
great many out Of employment, and with
the tremendous indux OF people who have
not become assimilated with our people.
1t will be difficult to control the rebellious
spirit that will arise. especially in the
congested places, where the bulk Of i'm
migrants locate.
Under the present immigration law The
United States is being used as ar asylum
LOT m diseased and pauper-
lied foreigners.
This Is clearly shown by the figures for
the last six months, and it should be
stopped.
IF immigrants that are now pouring
INTO the country were of the same class
NStA u k"SiSS SCaiS d6O
they would embrace very little of the IAN
gerous element. But anyone who studies
the figures for the year just closed and
notes where the bulk of the alisas come
from will realize that they are No: of
the former desirable class.
The total Immigration last year, which
was by far the largest in our history, was
s2l,Sl5. Eighty per cent Of IT was COM
posed of the Italian, Polish, Nebrew,
Scandinavian, German, Slavc1c and
Croatian races. New York received. 10
per cent of the entire immigration. Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
received 66 per cent; the states Of the
mississippi 81 per cent, and the western
states only 10 per cent.
III some means could be found to d.
vert immigrants from the centers OF pop
ulatlon IN the east to the south and west,
"here workers are wanted and where
there are splendid opportunities for them,
much of the danger would be averted;
but the fact that the great bulk of the
aliens locate IN the large cities presents
a serious condition.
some OF our western and southern
safes need immigration and seek it, but
the immigrants will not go. where this
need exists They prefer life in the over
croWded districts of the large cities and
the less arduous labors of pushing q
or grinding a hand-organ."

on the head. Ever since that time
Swift has been looking for the boy.
He met Peterson on the street. He
andeavOred to get the boy to go out
to the park with him. He told him
that there were friends of his out
there who wished to see him. The
boy suspected Swift and refused to
go.

He then attempted to shoot Hum

CLEANS UP ITS BACK TAXES.
Northern Pacific Shows Clean Slate
at Years End

The Northern Pacific railroad will
show in It's annual report for this
year that all the tax claims against
the read have been cleaned up. There
might be few isolated cases where
local Improvement taxes have not
been paid, but officials Of the road
are convinced if such is the case these
claims have not yet fallen due.
The showing Of a clean slate in tax
claims is the first the Northern Pa
cifc has been able to make in more
than thirteen years, if there has ever
been a time when all claims were ad-
justed. AS late as two years ago the
road had, in Washington, many tax
claims outstanding, which covered as
sessments made as far back as 1892.
The road was making an effort at that
tine to clean up it's taxes and had
effected compromises or paid the tax
es in many Of the Washington coun-
ties.
In most cases the Northern Pacific
has settled its tax claims through ne
gotiations with different boards Of
county commissioners, and compar
atively little litigation has been ne
cessary in effecting settlement. ThiE
record is regarded by officials of the
road with a great deal Of satisfaction.
The northwestern states held some
of the oldest claims for taxes against
the northern Pacific In Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington there was
scarcely a county through which the
road ran or in which the Northern
Pacific had interests, which did not
hold some claim for back taxes two
years ago. In few cases they were
of recent years, but most of the claims
were of long standing. The road
took up the matter Of effecting set
Elements in earnest about that time,
and the work was done systematic
ally.
The clean record of the Northern
Pacific is declared by officials of the
road to indicate a policy Of meeting
tax claims promptly in the future.
They state that the company has be-
come convinced that the plan Of keep
ing take paid up promptly will work
to the advantage Of the system, and
this will be attempted in the future.
Moreover, the good financial condi-
ton Of the road makes it possible to
do so.
Tax agents OF the Northern Pacific
were il Seattle yesterday to investi
gate local improvement claims and to
effect a settlement. This work per
tains to the present fiscal year.
