IN Europe. This commission, which
will start on its arduous health re
sort tour between now and May 20,
is about the greatest joke that con-
gress has ever perpe,rated on the
treasury, from which they will draw
all their travelling expenses. After
all the investigating and reporting
over immigration that has been
done, IT would seem the government
was in possession of all the facts

gently. But there are few things
that can be so readily made to con
form TO the requirements Of a pleas
ure trip as an immigration investi-
CATION. All the time can be spent
in travel, the more diverse the sec
tons visited the tetter, and all the
report can be written after n
comes home with the aid of a cheap
stenographer, a Baedeker's Guide
and some back files of the imm:gra
ton reports y literary fellow at
$40 a week will do it.
One of the interesting exhibits of
the government at jamestown will
be a sort Of publicity and promo
ton bureau for attracting settlers to
the newly opened areas in the west
where the government is now estab
fishing big irrigated farms. Millions
of dollars have been and are being
spent on each of these irrigation
projects, and truth to say they offer
some OF the best and most attractive
farming land to be had in the world
at a price next to nothing at all.
The government can get plenty of
alien settlers for these tracts, but
what is wanted is a large leaven of
genuine American citizens. So one
OF the features of the government
exhibit at the jamestown Exposition
will be a lecture hall where talks
will he given booming the the new
irrigated country, and where pic.
lures of what has been done and is
being done will be on exhibition.
and where all sorts of information
will be discussed to prospective set
tiers. 1t is thought that audiences
will be secured of people from all
over the country and especially from
the south, and that it will be one of
the best chances that could be had
for putting the attractions of the
new country before thousands of the
right sort of people from all sec
tons. 1t is the first time the gov
eminent has v e gone into publicity
and promotion business in this way
and the result is awaited with IN

the teacher, we'll built, as straight as

up his life for his country. Then the
mail was only carried once week.
An old man by The name of Will
Banks carried it. He would go down
on Friday and back Saturday. The
post Office was at j. S. Johnson s, and
was called Indian Creek. Everybody
would gather at the post Office on Sat-

Very few took papers. SO one would
do the reading for the others. Now
