Statistics show that during the past
sentury approximately 14,000.'X)'Q im
migrants arrived in the United States.
Tn that poriod the population of the
eountry increased 07,000,000. Before
She world war from 4,000 to d.000 im
migrants on an aqerage arrived in New
York daily. Duriug the war immigra
tion ceased, Ellis Island being turned
over to. the uses of army and navy.
Now, however, immigration has not
only begun again, but it has reached
an enormous volume—so great, in fact,
Shat the Commissioner of Immigration
a few days ago said that the vvhoie of
Europe seemed to be moving to the
United States. That, of' course, is
putting it pretty strong. At any rate,
pre-war figures have almost trebled,
and -today’s dispatches safir that the
tebate immigration committee has
agreed upon a bill limiting immigrants
to five per cent of the population of
the nationality already in the United
States.
Two big society events coming up—
.naugural bail down at Washington on
March 4, and Pioneers ball in McGrath
on February 22. Think we’ll take in
She latter. Strange, though, that that

News comes via telegraph that A. X.
Grant, sheriff of a Louisiana parish,
has notified the Governor of that State
that he forgot to hang a certain negro
individual on February 4, as per in-1
structions. Never before have we
heard of a man of that name, with !
those initials, failing to hang his man '
at the right time. Right now we dis- |
claim any relationship.
Prices and wages and jobs and cop- j
per and $24 shoei. and $10 shirts and a j
lot of other things seem to be spilling j
on the Outside.
Every day in the week seems to be
bandit day in Seattle and a few other
places on the Outstde.

ij'I'he above wheeze is a revamped
edition of a similar effusion that follows
each presidential election in which a
change of administration results. Eight
years ago the Democratic press-carried
a sale notice for old Rolivar,. the Re
publican elephant, describing him as a
very dilapidated beast. These wheezes
give the most pleasure to the party
which orders the sale.
