convicts are now at work on the road.
This route leaves Ration at the end of
Moulton avenue, going up Goat Hill,
where couple of switchbacks lessen
the steep grade and reaches the di.

Ohio. Few came from the East.
Texas will get large proportion
of the immigration this year." said
Mr.. Seagraves. "The removal of re-
strictions on Indian lands in Oklahoma
is making that an attractive district
but | look for New Mexico to get the
bulk of this immigration"
"The Settlers are of mixed class"
continued Mr. Seagraves. There are
Americans and foreigners who have
been in this country few years. Most
|of these foreigners came from the
