! and on Monday morning the work of removing
! back to town was begun and finished. The camp
has been a grand success in a social way the re-
union of friends has been iubilant and the parting
/ almost heart breaking. Financially about S2500i
/ has been realized. The receipts on the last day
were $3.50; as the expenses are not large, a net
| gain Of 500 may be assured. Amongst those who
tented on the ground outside Of Milton was bevy

About one hundred Italians arrived on Saturday
from Philadelphia as help for Winters & Prophets
cannery. About one half Of these are children,
and TO get them out of Philadelphia Mr.. M0ulten,
the foreman Of the cannery, went to the proper
authority, had the children examined and obtained
certificates to pass the quarantine. These certii-
Gates cost approximately, 5000. When he went
to the depot TO board the train there was no in
spector Of quarantine there, and MIR. Moulten.s
trouble ia getting certificates for these children
was thrown away and the expense also. There
must be something wrong in that department in
the city Of Philadelphia. Anyway we have the
children here and they are rowing all over town.
