VIRGINIA IMMIGRATION.
THE WORK MIR. KOINER, COMMISSION
Err OF AGRICULTURE HIGHLY
COMMENDED.

Last weeks Manufacturers Record
speaking of the work for immigration
being done by Commissioner Koiner
in Virginia, says:
sit is reported that opposition is de-
veloping in some quarters in Virginia
to Hon. Geo. w. Koiner, State Com
missioner of Agriculture md Immigra-
ton, on the ground that his efforts to
direct healthy stream of immigration
to Virginia have tended to increase the
number of unemployed skilled men
that State. 1t is hoped tina
the common sense of Virginia may per-
suade any such opposition to subside.
We know of no immigration official in
the country who has rendered more
Jealous and more intelligent service
for the development on healthy lines
of his State than Commissioner Koin-
er. He has carefully avoided the pit
falls offered in conventions,s ETC., into
which other officials in other States
have fallen; he has not been touched
by the foreign lobby shifting between
New York and Washington in the in
terest of an immigration that should
be resisted by the citizens, native or
foreign born, of every Southern State,
but in a most businesslike way he has
acquainted himself with the practical
needs of Virginia in this particular, has
sought in other parts of the country or
abroad to meet those needs, and has
succeeded in turning into Virginia a
most desirable class of immigrants,
either buyers of farm lands or sturdy
men willing to labor at any honest
task until they may accumulate enough
to own their own farms or to establish
their own industries. Opposition to
certain manifestations of immigration
to the South, or rather certain at
tempts to flood the South with unde-
sirable and improper immigration, is
perfectly justified, but just as the need
for immigration to the South should
not be permitted to be used by alien
influences to flood the South with un-
desirable immigrats, so opposition to
undesirable immigration should not be
permitted to degenerate into opposition
to all immigration or to the crippling
of the wise and practical work Of such
men as Commissioner Koiner."

Fencing operations at present in pro-
gress in the Zoutpansberg district of
the Transvaal will, it is estimated, re-
quire 450 miles of material. AS farm
ers are now granted loans from the land
bank funds for fencing, it is not impro-
bable that still greater quantities of
material will be required. Woven wire
fencing, barbed wire and tubular gates
are most in request.

AS the result of a joint traffic agree
ment entered into by the Western
Maryland Ry. Co. and the Philadel-
phia and Reading, effective early this
month, these two companies will han
die large amount of the soft coal trade
originating in the West Va. field. To
do this Western Maryland tracks will
be used from Hagerstown to Shippens-
burg, and the Philadelphia, Harris
burg and Pittsburg branch of the
Reading between Shippensburg and
Rutherford. At the start it is thought
this traffic will amount to about 800
carloads week, or an average of about
three trains day. After everything
is in working order it is believed the
business will increase to about 1900
cars week.

coastIng. regardless of the warnings
against the danger of the Third ave-

runner crashing over the avenue at
top speed, they had frequently passed
dangerously close to moving cars dur

miss them had seemed great sport

they had coAsted half way down the
hill they heard the clanlt of a motor
mans bell and the rumble OF the street
car down on Third avenue. The dou.
BILE runner had attained almost light
ming speed, and In the judgment of
the youngsters there would be ample
time to pass Third avenue before the
arrival of the car.
Persons passing the Third avenue
crossing gave a cry of warning. but
it was not needed
When the car reached the corner
the double runner was crashing ahead
with speed it was impossible TO
check The street car, No f14. with
Motorman D. o. Parker at the con-
troller, had reached the middle OF +
street when the double runner crashed
into its side In the effort to eYade
the car, Jack Johnson had managed
to turn his sled, and when 1t crash
ed into the street car the three young
SterS were hurled sidewise and
smashed into the trucks as though
thrown.
Conductor i. B. Kelsey. who saw
the accident. says that IL would have
been impossible TO have eyaded the
collision He explained that the sled
was coming silently and with such
speed that II would have been i'm
possible TO have gotten out OF their
way. even if they had been 100 feet
up the hill when the street car reach
ed the crossing

taken TO his home.
