IMMIGRATION FLOOD PASSES

The voices of numberless children
prattling of tile new homes that they
were going to, and the deep tones of
carewofn fathers as they told their
families of the better times ahead,
have been echoing through the Sioux
City railway stations for the last few
weeks. For with the opening of
March many families from all sec
tions of the United States and from
European countries have travelled
through Sioux City en- route to new
homes and new fortunes.
Carload after carload of immigrants
bound for South Dakota and North
Dakota and other northern sections
have swarmed Into Sioux City.
Those who are north bound and
happy and smiling. There is the en-
tire northwest out of which to carve
a home and fortune. Perhaps they
have not been very successful in the
past but the future il always bright,
and whether in the newest farmcoun-
try of their own United States or in
the dominion Of England's king, they
eternally hope to find the happiness
and prosperity that has always been
just beyond their grasp.
And to the Europeans, who for the
first time are viewing the great rivers
and plains of the western world, it is
all so new and exciting they are too
dazed to understand what lies before
them.
The passage of these. immigrant
families through Sioux City began
about March /. Since most of them
wished to be in their new homes by
the first of April in order that they
might begin the sowing of what they
hope will be q bountiful harvest, their
numbers are rapidly diminishing and
one will now see only an occasional
family seated in the station waiting
for the train to arrive, where only a
week ago scores were to be found.
