Immigration figures.

No trustworthy immigration records
were kept in the early history of the
republic. From 1888. 1t is estimated
that the number of immigrants to this
county was about 1000 year until
1874, when the number was Increased
to 10000. Then it dropped o-about
5000 until 1906, when it was reduced
to practically nothing for the succeed
ing ten years. In 1916 1t was about
5000 and the next year 2,24O. From
October Il, 1919, a record has been
kept, but up until 1856 it included all
"alien passengers arrived" and did
not distinguish between immigrants
and passengers, nor did 1t include I'm
Emigration overland from Canada and
Mexico. This record, which is mac
curate as explained, shows total of
$500, 1914 from the year ending Sep
TENDER 30, 1920, to the year ending
June 30, 1920. The largest immfgra.
ton in any one year was l ,2S5,349 for
the fiscal year 1907.
