WASHINGTON GETS NEARLY NINE
THOUSAND SETTLERS FROM
ABROAD IN ONE YEAR.
Many Skilled People-Government Blu
reau Report Distinguishes Races,
Occupations and Distribution.

There was a larger immigration of
foreigners into the state of Washing
ton during the last fiscal year than
into any other state west of the Mis-
Minnesota, Missouri and California.
The attractiveness of Washington
from the point of view of the better
class of immigrant, is shown by the
fact that STA aliens entered the state
during the year. 1t is also noticeable
that, according to the reports of the
immigration service, the class of the
immigrants who declared Washington
as their destination was exceptionally
high. There was a fair proportion be-
tween those who went to the cities and
those who settled on farms or who
engaged themselves to labor for farm
erc.
The most striking and the most i'm
portant thing about immigration into
Washington last year is that the
greatest increase in numbers was of
those who engage either in profess
sional or skilled occupations. Rela-
lively to the great mass Of immi-
grants, the number of foreigners of
good class who declared Washington
as their destination was larger than in
other state.

INVESTIGATION OF INSTITUTION
AT sTEILAcooM is SAID TO
BE ON PROGRAM.
Important Secret Concerning
Money Of Patients.

If an investigation of the insane
reported, it will be due to the publica-
ton of the story that money was di-
verified from the patients fund to ap-
ply on the purchase price of a tract
of land adjoining the asylum grounds
This action was taken in secret and
it was intended that it should be kept
secret. knowledge of it was con-
fined to Superintendent Van Zandt
and Steward S. C. Woodruff of the asy-
lum and Governor Mead and members
of the board of control How the
press of the state learned Of the trans
action is something that the board OF
control and the governor want to
know. They have laid the responsible
ity, it is said, at the doors of the SUI
perintendent and the steward, but
both are reported to have denied II
and to have proved their denials. Who
is it, then, that gives out state secrets
from Steilacoom? The governor and
the board don't know, but they are de-
termined to find out.
Thinks Van Zandt Talked.
Superintendent Van Zandt and Gov
ernor Mead are close personal friends
and it is to this friendship that the
former owes his appointment and his
retention in the post he now holds. The
governor took occasion, not long since
to affirm his faith in the Integrity
and ability of the superintendent and
to say that no act of his was lever
questioned" So the rumor that the
asylum is to be investigated and that
as result, the superintendent may be
dismissed, mas set the politicians
wondering. They explain it in no other
way except that the governor believes
Van Zandt told the patients funj
story"

Presently they came to place where

the sinful mans feet flew from under
