Forty-two guests were present who
did full justice in partaking of a most
elaborate dinner.

The immigration Flood.

New YORK, May l3.-The flooding
tide of immigration to American
shores runs cea~selessly on, and new
high water marks for the influx of
Europe's migratory hordes are being
recorded every mouth in the port of
New York. Already May bids fair to
far outstrip the previous record. Five
transatlantic liners brought in over
5000 yesterday and officials at Ellis
island say tha a there are no signs OF
cessation OF this European invasion.
The we'll springs OF this human over
flow lies principally in southern and
middle Europe. Italy, Austria, Hun.
gary and lower Russias now supply
more than. one half Of all the immi-
grants seeking homes in this country
Every fourth alien examined at Ellis
Island is an Italian, while every fifth
newcomer is from the Austrias. A
score OF years ago the headwaters OF
foreign immigration was in Ireland
and Germany. But now the source
has entirely changed.
The industrial fields of the United
States still absorb the greater part Of
the foreign outpour and seven states,

tain station, and therefore is to have
first class transportation facilities.
To reclaim the $4,000 acres will
have cost the government $50 al acre,
or an aggregate of $500, 600. This
will be repaid by the settlers in ten
equal annual installments, 800, 900 in
all per year and $3 an acre for
the lands taken. If a man takes forty
acres, his annual payments for ten
years will be Sl20: for eighty acres,
$24O. But to this must be added the
a an acre which must be paid to the
Grow Indians, making for forty acres
81, 200 plus el6O, or 81 800.
The government maintains the
works during the ten years the settlers
will be repaying for their lands. and
thereafter an arrangement will be
made to turn over to the settlers the
entire irrigation works, to be main
tanned at an assessment Of so much
per acre, according to the cost as as
certained during the ten years.
The lands were selected from the
coded strip of the Grow Indian reser.
walton and, subject to the act of April
-, 1904. may be settled on only &C.
cording to the terms of the reclama'
ton law of June II, 1902; in addition
the settler must pay 81 an acre for the
benefit of the Crow Indians. The lands
were withdrawn by Secretary Hitch
cock May p, 1906.
Work on the project was author

At the first Of this year the construc'
