IMMIGRATION SINCE 1916.

The March Tissue of the Daily Con-
years from 1915 to 1903 the number of
immigrants that entered the United
States was 21,a65.723, equal to one
fourth of the present population of the
country OF the total the United King
dom furnished 80 per cent. and Ger
many "a per cent. Austria Hungary,
Italy, Russia and Poland furnished u
per cent. in the period mentioned, but
in 1908 these countries furnished 6S
per cent. of the total influx of foreign
ers. Europe sent us SO per cent. of the
immigration in the, SIS years, the Yves
tern Hemisphere 4.5 per cent, China
and other countries 20 per cent. The
periods of foodhide for each national
ity have a certain interest. The maxi
mum for the Irish was in 1853, when
1858 came over; In 1888 there We're
1858 Irish Immigrants; in 1903 but
$4,000 The English maximum was ST.
394 dn 1882; i'll 1903 but 26,219 came.
Germany made striking record in
1854, when 2I5.oos immigrants came
from the Fatherland The number fell
to 1859 in 1852; averaged over $780,,
900 from 1866 TO 1878; fell to 2s.29S In
1877; rose to a5o,6so in 1882 and was
over 100000 till 1898. when it declined
rapidly to I'LL in 1898. In 1903 the
German Immigrants numbered 4oos6.
Italy's maximum was 23o622 in 1909
the 100000 mark having been passed
in 1900. Russia's maximum was 1885,
os3 and Austria Hungary's 2o6,o11 In
the same year.

.LOOKER-ON IN IOWA

Radcliffe, March 21.-It's the fashion
wherever one goes to hear sighting
remarks concerning our weekly
paper" Some time ago the writer was
in town where the joke on our
weekly was repeated several times
Therefore when a copy of our week
ly'' came to the writer's notice, the
whole business was explained. In Il
town of 500 inhabitants with dozen
or more stores, representing all kinds
of business, not one advertisement of
home interests appeared. In Other
words, not one of the merchants or
business men OF the town was using
the columns of "our weekly to adj
yertise the business he was engaged in
and thus. incidentally. keep alive the
lraper devoted to the interests of the
town and vicinity. And when the in
evitable end comes and the town has
iro paper published there, then the
joke will be on the town, for it goes
without saying that the town that fails
to support weekly paper. tells the
business world a story, not exactly
complimentary to the town.
many weekly papers in Iowa FIRE.
queItly two or more in town that
should have only one. OF course this
paper business is like every other bus
mess venture, "a survival of the ffttest.n
But with the advent of low priced
dailies, and lower priced metropolitan
weeklies, it is a sure and certain prop
osition all cannot live. Again, owing the
growing practice Of the farmers taking
che or more daily papers, the farmer
is bound to "cut OUT one or more
| weeklies, and naturally viii keep what
to him seems the best one. This pro-
cess of elimination is going on every
day and the result Will be, as said be-
fore. the survival of the fittest. What
constitutes the best one will only be
determined by the bank account OF
our weekly"
| The writer did not start out to Write
an essay on weekly papers, but some
| things are forced on a looker-on by
observation, and one is, that neither
the publisher of the weekly paper or his
advertising patron is 'onto his job"
| Publishrs of weekly papers are crying
out against the free rural delivery sys-
tenn, because the farmers are dropping
their weellyC papers and talking city
dailies. Merchants. I'D .,siness men

lnTERuRBAns AND PROSPERITY.

Secretary Sessions of the Cedar Rap
IDS Commercial Club at its recent an
nylal session, read an interesting paper
on interurban railways, based on his
personal investigations ana inquiries
into condf tons at Rockford. H. Rock
thirty miles long to GAINESVILLE, one
fourteen miles long to Belvidere, Illi-
nois and another of about eighteen
miles to Pecatonica that will be extend
cd this season to Faeeport, twelve miles
farther Two of these, the GAINESVILLE
and the Pecatonica lines parallel the
Milwaukee and Northwestern railroads
respectively.
Mr. Sessions made a personal visit
to Rockford, his purpose being to Sc
cure definite information from bust
ness men, especially, and incidentally
from others.
To the question 'how have interur-
bans affected the trade of your city? y
the answers as noted and reported by
Mr.. Sessions were:
Increased it, increased 1t very
much Greatly increased business
Increased it considerably Increased
1t very much, WE can see 1t every day.
.sImproyed it greatly" AS far as we
can see, it is an Improvement Help
I'd business TT has without doubt
helped every firm doing business
sMade. Rockford a trading center of
10000 people" Speaking from my
point of view it has increased my trade
from 20 to % per cent from trade
brought in on the interurban roads. :
.sThey undoubte eddy bring in new trade. :
"Iner9ased it wonderfully" Brought
IN a great deal" Increased to such
an extent that not vacant store can
be found. They are making city of
Rockfor,i. and bringing much trade
that never came here before. We now
have three interurban lines and all are
paydng.'' you can't do too much to aid
them" Helped it a great deal In
creased trade in all lines"
Farmers along the different lines
have one story to tell of increased con-
venience, market facilities and rising
land values. The smaller towns upon
the lines instead of suffering from the
ompetition of the big central city are
frourishing and thriving on its over
flow The lines are paying the people
and are proving a good investment for
the promoters. One bank which has
Increased its deposits nearly a million
vince the inrerurban We're built attr!b-
utes most OF its increase to the improv-
ed conditions brought about by the
trolley lines. All classes have been
benefited.
The success and beneficial results of
interurbans are matters of plain evil
dence in Ohio and Illinois under condi-
tons precisely similar to those that
obtain In Iowa. In the states referred to
uterurban trolleys are business prop
Osition. They increae trade and popu-
lation in the cities and towns and add
value to the agriculturists holdings.
What Is true of Illinois has been
proved equally true in Iowa where such
lines have been constructed. The troll
ley line is an active agent of prosperity.
Let us have the interurballs
