GALVESTON SEEKS TO BECOME
SECOND CASTLE GARDEN.


Galveston is rival of Castle Gar
den, New York. The gulf port of Texas
Is new gateway for the army of i'm
grants constantly fiocking to this
country. Through the efforts of the
government, of the railroads and the
steamship companies the new empire
of the great southwest is to be made
more accessible to these home-seekers
from the old country, and Galveston
has been selected as the most available
landing point.
1t Is estimated that during the pres
emit year between $4,000 and 10000
from Europe will come through this
gateway to their new homes In a new
country in the far West and South

the establishment of Galveston as an
active port Of immigration means to
the future of the country beyond the
Missouri river, but that it means much
Is certain.

the Southwest and the steamship line
are endeavoring to direct immigration
