My Dear Colonel: l sent you few

l am greatly gratified at the fnan-
ner in which I was met by the officials
OF the government and by those WHIT
really control the tide Of immigra-
tion, and feel that the first fortnight
Of the new departments career has,
been well utilized.
What struck me most forcibly in
the east was the widespread interest
In all circles whether Wall street or
on Ellis Island, or in eastern business
or Official circles, or at the national
capitial-in the movement in the
south for immigration and emigra-
tlon. The federal government,
gathered, would be glad to see the
tide turn southwark, thus preventing
the congestion in large centres of
commerce and the consequent misap-
plcation of intelligent farming classes
to trades and callings for which they
are totally unfit, resulting in depor-
tatlonS. Never have the eyes of the
east been SO thoroughly turned to the
middle south not only in population
movements but in investments. The
sources better than our own people,
and have received the heartiest as
surances Of earnest aid and co-opera-
tion on all lines.
In Washington the lveliest inter- ,
est is manifested on all sides, as has
been manifested by the prompt favor
able action taken on Senator Sim
mons immigration information meas
ure. l am more than ever convinced
of the opportuneness OF the move
ment launched in this State, and l
sincerely trust our effort will be
crowned with success. One danger
is in the people expecting too great
results in short time. The work is
necessarily slow, and when 1T is based
upon determination to handle
only such matters as posses the
elements OF success, patience is an es-
sential. However, trust results can
be shown in certain branches Of the
work at an early date Another dan
ger is in the possibility of landowners
wishing prices for their lands at first

cult | trust that this danger will
not materailze. In few days call

Immediately in this Office concerning
