year In advertising their business and

Purpose of Immigration Bureau.
The idea of a bureau of immigration
was discussed in our first convention
and in every convention since. How to
finance this bureau has been question.
After making a thorough canvass in
our different communities we have
come to realize that the taxpayers of
the state are not willing to tax them
selves $4,000 to 100000 per annum for
the purpose of maintaining an effective
immigration bureau.
I'VE decided consequently that we
could well afford to contribute $50 each
per annum to a fund to be known as
the Kansas immigration bureau fund
and to be managed by the real estate
agents Of the state the same as the
state board of horticulture is managed
by the horticulturists and the state
board of agriculture is managed by the
farmers, or the state laboring bureau
by the laboring men.
THE real estate agent is by virtue
of his business a natural producer of
immigration. He understands the bus
mess from A to q and in a good many
cases single agencies have spent an
amount equal to the price of good
farm per annum for the purpose of
encouraging immigration to the state
of Kansas. It is true many agencies
do not spend a cent for this same pur-
pose, yet they receive considerable ben
eft from the agent who does.
There are at present 1000 real estate
agents in Kansas who are maintaining
offices and spending considerable money
advertising. These agents each pay
ing $50 to an immigration fund would
create the sum of 100000 per annum
which if judiciously used in advertising
the state would no doubt increase the
population at least 100000 people per
annurn.
This large influx of population
would create more opportunities for
agents and the so-called poor real
estate man of today would be greatly
benefited by the increased business and
he could easily afford to contribute
$50 for the purpose of creating this
increased business. There are over
100000 acres of untitled land in
Kansas and we could easily take care
of a population of 100000 without
being crowded and it seems to me that
such a bureau as we contemplate
would be of great value to every citi-
zen and real estate dealer"

But he couldn't say more. He
rushed down the hall and grabbed hat

And he thought and thought. And he
muttered and muttered and muttered.
And after three long hours a police
man told him he had better go home,

company will probably be doing bust

in Kansas by the first of April.
Goods are now being stored on the
fifth and seventh floors and the car
peting for the third, fourth and fifth

Five of the 20 carloads of fixtures
ordered have arrived and have been
stored for few days. Work on the
first five floors is nearing completion,
but workmen have just started to put
in the petitions in the two upper floors

mission style of architecture in re-
spect to the entrance is to give a
park appearance" said Secretary H.
L. Cook today. 1.-THE erection of a
seven-foot steel fence around the
grounds will be begun Immediately.
This will be great Improvement, as
the old fence was not only an eye
sore, but on account of its dilapidated
condition the expenditure of hundreds
of dollars for policing purposes was
nee essitated. A fifty-eight-inch steel
fence will be put up around the race
track likewise.
A Playground for Children.
1--WE expect to make this the central
playground for the children of Topeka.
1t will be a beauty spot when the de-
Shrubs will be planted an6 winding
walks put in.
I'm twenty years the children will
rise up and call the people who es-
tablished this park blessed AS the
city grows parks will be more and
a fine institution at present, it is too
far out for the children or grown-ups
who have just an hour or two to spend
at leisure or in recreation to enjoy its
attractivenesS.
II do believe, however, that the peo-
pie of Topeka do not fully realize wha:
a splendid inheritance they have in
Gage park. In my opinion the drive out
there is one of the prettiest in the
country. Steps should be taken imme-
diate1y for the lighting of way at night
otherwise some serious accidents are
bound to occur.
ITO go back to the fair grounds, the
lily park which Mr. Reinisch has
planned will make an ideal place for
skating, especially as it will not be
deep enough to cause parents to fear
to allow their children to go to the
place unattended
The garden spot planned by E. F. A.
Reinisch includes one and a quarter
acres of ground and will be situated in
the hollow near the main entrance and
Immediately north of the present rail-
way tracks.
The Improvements.
What was at one time a frog pond
will be transformed into a delightful
retreat with twisting paths, shrubs Of
all kinds, snake-like paths innumer-
able, occasional flower beds, and last of
all a miniature lake two fifths of an
acre in extent shaped irregularly like
an artists palate.
AS a name for this snug retreat Mr..
Reinisch suggested Nymphaea, which
sounds delightfully."- romantic-too much
so to suit the president of the associa-
ii n, J. w Going, who before he left
the city said that he thought the name
Lake Edward Wilder would be appro-
pirate in memory of the late treasurer
| of the Santa F'e system who was the
founder OF the Topeka public library.
But this fairy spot that Mr.. Reiniscn
has planned has already been spoken of
in detail, so it is not necessary tic
dwell on the various features. The
Swan island might be mentioned, as
the name would imply that water fowl
will inhabit the place and that is al
ways a delight especially to the chill
dren.
In conclusion it might be said that
the fair management will spare no
pains in making the grounds attractive
the year round for those who are on
pleasure bent.
