our IMMIGRATION Laws.

The New York chamber of commerce
has been discussing the question: "Are
our existing immigration laws an effective
sieve for the sitting Of our enormous ime
migration3" This discussion has been
brought about by reason of the great in
fux of immigrants Of all degrees from
European countries.
Commissioner Sargent reports that of
the immigrants admitted during the
past year nearly 10000 could neither
read nor write Yet under our existing
laws less than 5000 of the total 857,o46
were found liable to rejection. In view
of these facts, and Of the further fact that
the great mass Of these immigrants from
Eastern Europe continue to settle, not on
the thinly populated farm lands Of the
West, but in and around the great cities
of our eastern and central states, the
question which the New York chamber
Of commerce has been recently discussing
is certainly one of prime public concern
and which should be carefully con
sidered

Young man, don't swear. There is no
occasion for it outside of a printing Office,
where it is useful when the paper is be-
hind time. It also comes handy in proof
reading and is indispensable when the
ink works bad and the press begins TO
buck. It is sometimes brought into use
when the foreman's mad; and it has been
known to entirely remove the tired feel
ing of the editor when he looks over the
pepper after it is printed. Outside Of the
printing office it is a foolish habit.

In 70 calender year in the history of
our country have our exports footed up
to the amount that they did in the year
that has just been brought 10 close.
The nearest approach was the calendar
year of 1900. when our exports were about
$1,000, 900 less i'll value than during the
year 1903. The gains made during the
past year were in the last three months
of the year. The exports of STA, 734, 900
for the month of December formed the
greatest trade record that has ever been
made in this country in any single month,
while the three months together, show
ing exports to the value of nearly 500, 900, :

40 acres, at an average of about $4,000

the center of the town, and is surround
ed by the estates of Gen. Carroll and
others The house is $50 feet above the
Hudson, and has a 40-mile view of the
river The grounds are laid out as
park and heavily wooded.
Mr.. Clemens, who owned half of this
tract bought it two years ago for his
own use, but, owing to illness in his
family. had never occupied il. Mr..
Gardiner had been his tenant for two,
years, with an option to purchase. He
declined to buy until he could obtain
the entire square. The future of this
properly is of much interest to larry
town. The town is splendidly built up
to the entire west front. The trolley line
runs past two sides of it, and every foot
is available for high grade homes. 1t
is only half a mile from the New York
Central station and the river. There
have been various plans in the past to
get control of this tract, to cut it into
streets and lots. Mr.. Gardiner intends
to throw the whole into a private park
and buildings improve the grounds
and buildings for his own use as a coun-
try home.

KANSAS LAND SALES.
In Dickinson County Alone Transac-

Abilene, Kan, Dec. 26.-One mil
lion dollars worth of farm property
has been sold in Dickinson county in

estate agent made a list of all sales
for two dull months and two active
months to find the average. 1t is his
opinion that there is no boom" nor
speculation in the present land move
ment- The prices now obtained, al
though satisfactory, have not vet
reached the high level of those in the
boom period in the sos. In central
Kansas. the prices on land now range
from SIS to $50 an acre, which is a
great increase over the low level of

brought an increase of about $3.50 an
acre a year From 1900 to 1904 there
has been an additional increase of
about So an acre year. This state
ment applies to improved farms in
