' IMMIGRANTS AT GALVESTON. | (Busy Scene After Arrival of European :, Steamer.)
 derstanding of the country's needs. i Immigration through the port of Gal weston, if present plans are carried out, means not. so much an immigration for the dollars and cents there may be | in 1t for the transportation companies as 1t does the rapid development of the fertile and unoccupied lands tribu- tary to the gulf ports. To the home colonization is now to be added the foreign colonization.
 In this undertaking the government ] is lending a willing hand, and the three agencies combined should result in accomplishment worthy of a good cause.
 It was the government. in fact, that first directed the attention of the rail- roads and of the steamship company to the possibilities that lie in the port of Galveston in the way of home build ing in the Southwest. Yearly the hordes which seek entry to the United States through the port of New York are increasing. so that the problem of hauling them becomes continually more difficult of solution. Further more thousands of those who come in by the way of New York never get be- yond the confines of that and other large cities, congesting these popula- tions with a class which is undesir- able.
 More than a year ago the govern ment hinted to the railroads and to the steamship people that it would be a good idea to try to divert large DOT tion of the immigration through one of the southwestern ports. Galveston, as being nearest the source of land supply, was selected. and the railroads and the steamship line joined hands in the undertaking.
 The first movement of immigrants through Galveston really began in 1904, when but 500 were brought in. Prior to that the North German Lloyd. al though having a line between Europe and Galveston, had not made any ef. fort in the immigration line. By the beginning of 1905 the bureau had got to work in earnest and the,result was 3.400 immigrants.
 Immigrants coming through this port are distributed all over the West
 but statistics show that fully 50 per | cent of them remain in Texas and pre- sumably make that state their perma' nent home Many of them go to Col orado and California. and not a few into Missouri. some seeking the big cities Ike St. Louis. Upon an aver. age. ss Is per cent are unticketed
 when they reached these shores and
 between 30 and 70 per cent are what are termed homeseekers. That is tO say. they have come over here without definite destiniion. but with the ex
 press purpose of finding permanent
 homes in the agricultural districts

READY FOR SIX
DAY BIKE RACE
TWO DOZEN CRACK RIDERS OF
THE WORLD WILL CONTEST IN
NEW YORK.
Special 10 the Herald.

| Special Co the Herald
New York. Dec. S.-Two dozen BIZ
cycle stars. the pick of the riders of
two hemispheres. are now entered in
the international six-day bicycle
championship which begins in Madison
Square Garden shortly after midnight
tomorrow. As the men will ride in
pairs. this will make at least dozen
teams who will start in the grueling
grind for the big money prizes. The
event this year is regarded as a little
more open than has usually been the
case in the past, as a number of teams
in the race are so evenly matched
that the winner may not be decided
until the final sprint on Saturday
night. December 10.
The list of American riders is head
ed by Z. F. Root and Joe Fogler. the
team which won the honOrs last year.
Bobby" Walthou, the famous Atlanta
rider. is coupled with Hugh Mclean
of Chelsea. Mass. The Bedell broth
ers of Newark, Downey of Boston.
Hopper of Minneapolis, and Downing
of San Jose are among the entries
wearing the Stars and Stripes.
The unknown quality of several of
the foreign riders on this side of the
water will also make the result of the
race doubtful. The foreigners who
are here to compete in the race are
the pick of the bicycle riders Of Eu-
rope. and good judges who have
watched them in their training at
vailsburg declare they will make it
very interesting for the American
riders throughout the race.
The i'll feeling that exists among
lssyeraLOf the, riders will also lend
interest to the contest. as each one
viii use every trick possible to gain
an advantage over the others.

Whose pictures are fine indeed:
But, IL you'll look closely, you'll notice
In every celebrity,
Be 1t an artist or author,
A popularity.

The heroine is so sweet;
To look at the illustrations
Is just a perfect treat;
But now I'll tell you the trouble
That stares at me always, SO grim,
The girl of both artist and author
is always tall and slim.
Oh! what can We do. my sisters,
Who are under five feet three,
Or, who 0n horror / write iO
Are nearing obesity?
Is there no one to sing our praises,
Or to call us neat and trim?
Is she always to be foremost.
The girl who Is tall and slim?
Yet the future must hold a champion
Who will cry to the world: IL repeat.
The girl whom l admire
Must always he plump and petite"
Yes, q time must come, my sisters,
When all the praises from him
Will not be forever directed
To the girl who is tall and slim.
