immigration is Very Large.

It looks as if the immigration to this
country this year would beat all rec
ords. 1t is thought that the increase
is due partly to the prosperous condl-
tion of the country and partly to
to the efforts of the steamship COM
panies' agents abroad. Italy has thus
far sent us more people than any other
country, but there has been an IN
crease from nearly every country IN
the world except Austria Hungary
Roumania and Japan. Even the Chin
ese. who are debarred by law, have
managed to slip in a great number.
