LARGE IMMIGRATION FIGURES.
Nearly 1000, 900 Foreigners Admitted
During 1905.

New York, Jan. 10.-The official
figures given out today by the bureau
of statistics on Ellis island, show that
the immigration during the year 1905
was enormous. 1t was greater than in
1903, which had been the banner
year and also much greater than in
1904. The grand total is nearly up to
the million mark. There was sub
stantial increase in all classes and,
despite the fact that the immigration
figures were larger than ever before
in the history of the port, the number
of persons travelling in the cabins of
the liners reached enormous proper
tions.
OF the total of 992,O65 persons who
arrived by the various lines from for
eign ports the largest number was car
ried on the ships of the North Ger
man Lloyd line, from Bremen and
from Mediterranean ports. In 125
voyages III. .916 passengers were land
ed in this port by the steamships OF
this line and of these 1874 were first
cabin voyagers. Next in order came
the Hamburg-hmerican line, then the
Cunard line. OF the total of 7SO,Ol2
steerage passengers brought here
about 71S,0OO were immigrants.

Alba. Jan. S.-We are now getting
a heavy fall Of snow, and all indica-

for a few months snow it is better
than any other kind of weather, as
it will keep the streams up better
next summer.

that schoolma' ans and other young
women who come here do not reside

some worthy admirer turns up and
tells the old story. A number of these
chose matrimony during the past year.
There should be no such thing as
race suicide in Alaska, where we have
more than nine square miles per cap
ita. But to get these young women,
that is the question. Shall the gov
ernment resort to the importation of
them, as woman was brought to Vir-
ginia centuries ago to marry the man
who would pay her passage? How to
do it the governor can't decide. ut

COLLECT INHERITANCE.
Over Half a Million Overdue the State
OF Colorado.

Denver Jan. 10.-An investigation
in five of the principal counties Of the
state has satisfied State Auditor Bent
that there is now due as inheritance
tax more than 100000, and he has
determined to put the machinery in
motion to collect this money.
The inheritance tax law became
operative March 22, 1902, and its con-
stitutionality has been confirmed by
the supreme court of the state. Only
a small portion of this tax has been
collected and turned into the state
treasury.
An idea of the extent to which this
tax has been overlooked may be gain
ed from the following summary of the
investigation in five counties:
There are 80 estates from which
inheritance tax is due and unpaid and
only 13 estates upon which the tax
has been paid.
The are IS estates. out of 80, in
which the local authorities have
taken no action whatever.

ROB AKELEY BANK;
WRECK A BUILDING
Craftsmen Get 1000 as Booty Of
Night Raid in Northern
Town.

Special to Tho Journal.
Akeley, Mimi, Sept. II. Cracksmen
robbed the bank Of Akeley Of 81, 900 at
2 O'Clock this mornings
There were three explosions and
parts Of the town fairly rocked The
sides of the bank building were blown
out and the front is in ruins. Nitro
glYcerin was the explosive used. One
man who was near by attempted to
interfere, but was warned to return to
his home on penalty Of being shot.
The force Of the explosion was so
great that all the silver in the safe
was blown to all parts of the building
and even into the streets. There was
about $50, 1000 in cash in the bank; that
which the robbers did not get was in
the vault. This amount of money Is
not carried at all times, but was brought
here this week to pay off the checks
Of the Red River Lumber company.
There is not clue to the identity Of
the robbers or the manner of their de-
parture from town. Large tracts Of
timber are near by and it is reasonable
to suppose that they made their way as
quickly as possible to hiding places in
this timber or in the adjacent swamps.
The banks loss is fully covered by
insurance and it is not out cent, save
what must be expended for repairs Of
the building.
