on the San Juan, to furnish 80 in

and within the next five years to
place 1900 families on the land
To solve the problem of settlers,
a colonization company has been
formed, which agrees to supply a Civ

from Europe, and families may even
be brought from China AMI Japan
to be placed on land that lies more
than 60 miles from the American
border. The immigrants will be
permitted to settle in the tract with
