week from Great Britain and the con.
tiueut is the highest number of immi-
grants ever scheduled to to enter dur.
ing such a period of time. The horde
reaches nearly $4,000. AT Ellis Island
arrangements have been made for
their prompt handling, because the de-
tention of any part would at once tax
the facilities Of the emigraut station
far beyond its limits.
Figures for the week that has Just
closed were close to $4,000, showing
that the rush has been kept up for a
longer period than eve before and it
is likely that the total immigration
for the spring will far exceed any pre-
vious year.

The mine was idle for several years,

shut up. A man who earns a good

Luther Burbank is essentially a stu.

training, but the few papers he has
written regarding his work show him
to be a man of scholarly attachments.
A paragraph from one of these papers
show the unselfsh purpose which has
actuated the man in his labors. The
paragraph follows:
"Science sees better grains, nuts,
fruits and vegetables, all in new forms,
sizes, colors and favors, with more
nutrients and less waste, and with
every injurious and poisonous quality
and with power to resist
sun, wind, rain, frost and destructive

Every one of these and 10000
more are within the reach OF the most
