tinenral Divide. He organized the
which the people promptly named the
"Moffat Road" He started his road
straight west over the Continental
Divide for Salt Lake City.
The engineers went Into the field
December 81, 1902, and stayed on the
job three straight years. winter and
summer. They climbed on slopes
where a misstep meant death. They
hung from ropes in deep gorGes. On
snowshoes and skis they -"uveled
among the peaks of the DIVIDE tar
above timber line in Arctic remJ,eru-
lures. But they found a way-ror-
and difficult though II was-for
a first class railroad.
Into this work Moffat poured his
personal fortune of many millions. The
cost of construction was appalling since
Moffat would have nothing but n
b~road-gauge standard railroad for
transcontinental traffic. The grading
and TUNE work alone on the first
fifty miles out of Denver cost on an
average 100000 a mile. md the thirty
FIVE miles from the point where the
road begins to climb the foothills 10
the site OF the proposed tunnel cost
100000 a mile. These figures include
only the tunnel work and grading. and
not the cos, of ties, rails, the lut,or
Of laying the track and the expendi-
lures for stations, water tanks and
equipment. One particularly difficult

n miles from Denver to Arrow head,
which is over the Continental Divide
In Middle Park, there are thlrty-four
tunnels. In one stretch of eleven miles
there are Twenty-Five tunnels through
solid granite.
The cost of operation ovei the
divide in winter was also appalling.
So Moffat planned to bore through
James Peak and dodge the snowdrifts
of timber line Q1.5OO feet) by going
through the living granite.
Then came the tine of financial
difficulties. Moffat exhausted his
enormous resources, Promised support
failed him. His name was anathema
to transcontinental roads. Finally he
died-with his road only completed

Alien Growth

Figuring "by race or people" the
computation of the immigration off,

nine months specified. The report fur
Their shows that only 607 emigrant
Jews went u of the United States
In. that time.
From northern Italy $40 were adj
mitted and from southern Italy "a, 191,
a total Of 40,031 italian immigrants.
But the report shows that 44,0S2 emil
grant aliens left the United States and
went back to Italy, or 1000 more than
were admitted. The explanation for
his lies in the fact that the Italians
have always been inclined to go and
come according to tine times. Thut
country has always encouraged Its
people In coming to America to catch
American notions of thrift and profit
by high wages when times were good
here, but to return TO Italy when In
dustrial conditions In this country nc
longer justified their remaining.
The explanation of why so few Jews
emigrated from the United States is
furnished by the fact tina they have
not been welcome in many of the lands
Of Europe because Of fractional and
postwar disorders, and this also ex
plains why the largest number of i'm.
migrants coming to the United States
have been Jews. Many of them who
came here brought scars on their bodies
from the pogrorhs Of the Ukraine OF
other districts of the old Russia.
$3.50 Aliens Arc Excluded.
During the nine months covered by
the report $3.50 aliens were excluded
at the ports Of entry and deported,
8,943 of these as likely to become pub.
lie charges. 730 as illiterate, 553 as
contract laborers and 1880 in excess
of quotas. More than 1000 in excess
of quota were admitted because OF
acknowledged unusual hardships" In
ficted by the mandatory exclusion law,
Under warrant 3,345 aliens who had
already entered the country were ar
rested and sent out. the majority hav-
ing become public charges or crimi-
nails.
