FROM OTHER PENS
TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

AS indicating the swing of the pen
dulum of prosperity, the rise and fall
in the immigration figures is to a GER
tain extent a measure of existing con-
ditionS that is not without value.
Hence it is interesting to note that the
tide of emigrants coming to this
country in the fiscal year ending June
80 bids fair to exceed one million peo-
pie The limit has been reached but
in three years during the existence of
our government, those years having
been 1905. 1906 and 1907 The panic
of the last named year reduced the
figures in 1908 to $4,000 and in 1909
to 751.7S6. That the incoming tide
promises so we'll shows a degree of
confidence in foreign lands in our in
situations and industrial developme tent
that is most satisfactory and so far as
can be told, is fully justified by the
outlook. OF the 136.745 immigrants
admitted in March Of this year Italy
furnished more than any other nation,
as she also did in 1909, although dur
ing the year Austria-Hungary and the
Russian Empire followed closely in her
footsteps. The. net immigration cannot
be known until the return emigration
to Europe has been checked off and
deducted.
BY the exercise of a strict, but kind
". oversight, no imbeciles. or those
physically or morally unfit. or who are
likely to become public charges. are
admitted, and only those who are
likely to become useful citizens are al
lowed to land The wise restriction
prevents our land from becoming the
dumping ground of the offsprings of
European communities and guards
against the dangers that would arise
in case unrestricted and unguarded
immigration were allowed or encour-

AND WHY?
About 100000 miles away blazes
the mighty mother of the earth and her
sister planetoids. Every year this
globe completes a journey of some
5S4, 100000 miles and starts unwearied
upon another. Out in the vastness
whence comes the stellar visitor for
which eyes are now straining, swings
the farthermost member Of our fam
lily, Neptune-2, 700,000.00e miles dis
tant Beyond that is the nearest neigh
Dor to the sun, Alpha Centauri, whose
distance in miles is expressed in the
inconceivab1e numerals &c. 000,000,000,-
600. In a shora1ess sea of space the
solar system is travelling IL miles a
second, from what part none may
guess and to what destiny cannot even
be connected.
Men upon this atom of the universal
dust snarl and fume over differences
of opinion fer which none can give
definition. Human creatures MAIN
may be coined from the blood and
flesh. War is the reality which gov

reality of the stupid and the ideal of
the dreamers. In the inscrutable wis

If the kidnapping phase Of the Sin

court any convictions that may be Sc
cured stand a chance of being reversed
on the grounds that a fair trial was
not possible in Holton because the
stores there have for sale the famous
postcard pictures of Marian Bleakley.
That was one of the reasons why the
local district court decided that the kid
napers might not get a fair trial in

In the campaigns which the brewers
of this country are ever waging against
prohibition. they often point to Germany
as a model land and a place where beer
is a more or less steady article of diet.
And the Germans in this country have
never shown much favor for places
where prohibition prevails. But Kaiser
Wilhelm, the ruler of the fatherland,
has just sounded a warning against
"beer swiHing" by students. He says
If it is not stopped it will prove to
be the curse of the nation.

BIC CONTEST
 ON THE LAKE
Are You Going to See the Fun?
 Better Hot Miss It.

A grand snow -shoveling contest oc- CUTS on the "big lake" northeast of town Saturday at ? p. m. Everybody will be there and you'd better come to watch the fun.
 Shovels, brooms, small drags, and a large snow plow-a 10man-power one will be on the show grounds ready for action.
 There will be whisk brooms and feath- erdusters for the ladies.
 Sergt. A. L. Shehane will superintend the job; in fact the party is his own idea. At times he himself will wield a No. to 'speed 'em up."
 The name of the winner of the contest will be published next week. Every participant will be entitled to have his name pasted up in Tanana's hall of fame.
 Sheshane wants the most conspicuous niche in the hall, however. He is in communication with a Seattle tomb stone maker, dickering on the price of lifesized monument.
 He intends having the following "epi- thetic' emblazoned in letters of gold across the forehead of his likeness:

TANANA PERSONALS.

The palmy days of gambling in Panama are called to mind by sign posted in the News office. Itwas resurrected from the old Leader office, next to the North ern, where Chas. Myers and his partner several years ran a faro game, roulette wheel and other attractions. The sign was painted by Pete Claveau for Myers, who was afterward shot in Goldfeld Nev. It reads thus:
 Black Jack Rules
 Deal alone or go in with the dealer Black jack pays 50 cents, deal passes.
 The snowfall brought out many dog owners who are running their teams, whipping them into shape. Among them was Supt. Handles, who made some flying trips. The animals are still frisky, frequently stopping to take a chew at one another.

FIRE PROTECTION.

ED The placing of fire buckets along tn water front insures some degree of fire protection to Panama.
 Heretofore the city has been helpless in case of fire Fortunately Panama has never been visited by conflagration. In case it had, what would have been the result? In d short time the whole town could have been laid waste. Once fire became started it would be diff cult to check the flames.
 A canvass of the city shows that a large number of the business places have not even hand chemicals, which are so effective. The city has absolutely no fire organization not even volun- teer department The smallest village outside has at least volunteer brigade. Tt is high time that the people realize the situation. A volunteer department should be organized at once. The News is ready to take the matter up and it is sure every citizen will be ready to CO operate.
 Next spring it is hoped the proposed electric light plant will be installed. Then standing pressure can be main tained at the pumphouse and stream of water directed on any building in town within a short time. Until then the city must be content with tie buck cts along the waterfront.
 Ample fire protection will reduce the high insurance rates under which the merchants are now grooming. It means safety to everyone. It is an absolute necessity.
