IMMIGRANT SHIP
BRINGS SMALLPOX

Yesterday morning the steamer vii
lesden arrived from European ports
with 1850 immigrants. OF these, $40
are Portuguese and 1905 Spaniards.
On the voyage twenty-seven deaths
occurred and at the present moment,
there are sixteen cases of cOwpUX, iif
teen cases of smallpox and thirty-siX
cases Of measles among the new arriy-
quarantine island wharf, and will re
main there for some time to cone.
The federal authorities have the
Willesden in charge, and it has been
decided to land the Spaniards-20O at
a time-One quarantine island The
Portuguese will be accommodated on
board the Willesden, as there would
be undue crowding if an attempt were
made to house all the immigrants on
land.
on the voyage out five births oc-
cured, and of these infants one died.
The fumigation of the clothing and
baggage of the immigrants is now pro
ceeding and, as fast as it is finished
the future citizens are landed at quar-
antine.
Yesterday, as soon as the Willesden
was sighted, a launch containing DR..
Ramus, DR.. Sinclair Dr. James, DR..
Clark, f. l.. Waldron and r. A. Kearns
went out to meet the vessel. Upon
arriving near the steamer the news
that smallpox was on board was con
yeyed to the launch party, The medi,
cal officers, however, boarded the viii,
lesden and proceeded on her to the
quarantine wharf
1t is possible that the Willesden
may not be detained here for any
great length of time. Should the i'm,
migrants be landed, after fumigation
of their persons and clothing, the yes
sci will then be fumigated and allowed
| to depart.
/ Much disappointment is being eX
! pressed at the unfortunate state of af
fairs regarding the Willesden, and
hundreds of Spaniards and Portuguese

around the waterfront

as expert surveyors and that the map
offered in evidence had not been
shown to be scientifically accurate.
There was long and intricate argu-
ment over the points raised and
numerous questions were asked of the
witnesses on direct and cross-exam-
alton. Judge Clemons continues to
exhibit reluctance to rule speedily on
any point raised, and the trial has al

No landlord to bother me ever
The land it is mine that l till
Tho my shack may not be a palace,
My food I am sure is the best.
And I feel like king on his throne
When at night lie down to rest.
The birds they will sing in the morn-

The flowers will bloom in May,
And when one gets tired Of blooming
A dozen more will come to stay.
Some said l had better be renting,
This country was cold and dry,
But what does one get when who's
renting,
But work till he's ready to die.
Our crops are as good as the average.
Go travel where you will
We pillow and seed and we harvest.
If we wish we rest and keep still.
Wheat here is as tall as a ladder,
With heads half as long as an arm
Everyone filled with just as good
grain
As ever was raised on a farm.
We have cabbage as large as drum,
We have beets and bagas and then
Potatoes as large as barrel;
A dozen will fill up a bin.
We have fruit that is sweet to the

AS fine as you ever did SEQ

We have game of the very BEST kind.

The grouse, the duck, the goose ana
