Kendall, Montana, April 21, 1903. 3. IMMIGRATION TO THE WEST Foreigners Are Coming This Way in Hordes This Season Will Break All Records —Competition for the Traffic Among the Railroadi With the coming of spring the rail- roads are having to deal with the greatest movement of immigrants the United States has ever seen. Yes- terday there came to Chicago from the east over the Michigan Central 1,600 hameseekers bound for all parts of the west, says the ChicagolChron- icle. This large body of persons came through the port of Boston, and while they were landing and getting to their western destination between 7,0p0 and 8,000 more were passing throusea oth- er ports of entry or were on the sea bound for the new world. The announcement ten days tr two weeks ago that there were more than 10,000 immigrants then on board ships or booked for passage on vessels to sail within a few days set the rail- roads which usually handle this busi- ness to gathering cars for the occa- sion. The Baltimore & Ohio, which usually has a large part of the busi- ness, especially that which enters the country through the port of Baltimore, collected at its eastern terminals hun- dreds of coaches. Between the lines in toe immigrant agreement and those outside or that arrangement there is strong competi- tion for this immigrant traffic from the eastern seaboard to the porkte of destination in the interior of the coun- try. The magnitude of the business makes it well worth the while of the managers of the passenger traffic de- partments of the roads to look out for it. The Immigrants are carried in day coaches and the large number makes it possible to count on full loads for every car in the trains from the begin- ning of the journey. The known destination of the immi- grants makes it easy to so arrange toe several sections or cars in the trains that if a part of the load is drOp- ped Off they all go from the same cars. By this means the roads escape In large measure the necessity of haul- ing half-filled cars and the trains are profitable over every mile of the route. While the amount paid by the immigrants in second-class fare is much less than that required for trans- portation on the fast running limited trains, the balance of profit is largely in favor of the immigrant train as compared with the flyers. The fact that the business is pro- fitable and the assurance which the European agents give that the pres- ent season is sure to break all records in the number brought over has quick- ened the railroads of the country to extra efforts to handle it. While the number of immigrants which came ov- er last year was above the 600,000 mark, the best Judges of the traffic are confident that this will be exceed- ed in 1903 by from 200,000 to 300,000. In fact, if the million mark is passed before the cldse of the year there will be no surprise. While this enormous number of new settlers Is coming to the United States there le almost as great a rush to the undeveloped regions of the British possessions on the north. More than 2,000 passed through Montreal in one week bound for the Canadian northwest and there is behind this army a large army or others. The immigration to the dominion will be not less than 150,000 in the present year, say the experienced tragic men, and when this is added to the hun- dreds of thousands now on their way to the United States the sum total of new citizens which the American con- tinent is to receive from the old world will amount to more than a third of the whole white population of the col- onies at the time of the revolution. NATURAL GRADE 80E8 May Secure Redress for Property Datn . . aged by Artificial Grading A recent decision handed down by the supreme court of Montana will be of special interest to cities and towns of the state and property own- ers therein, as it interprets the law regarding the liability of cities for 'damages when the grade of a street is changed in front of a piece of prop- erty. The suit is that of Andrew Less against the city of Butte, and upon the authority of this decision, CalleweY, three other damage suits against the city of Butte were decid- ed, by agreement of counsel. In the Less case, the plaintiff erect- ed a residence on East Broadway, relying upon the grade of that street as it then existed. Two years later the city council established a grade in front of the property, which was the only grade establinshed by the corporate authority on that street, and excavated the street to the grade line, leaving Less house about seven feet above the \treet level. Less presented to the city council a claim for $500 damages, which AILS refused, and the suit was begun. At the close of the plaintiff case the de- fendant moved for -a don -suit, on the ground that the grade established was the first and only grade ever establish- ed on East Broadway by the. city of Butte, and that under the Montana law the city had a right to reduce the street to conform to the grade. The court overruled the motion and gave Judgment for the plaintiff in the sum of ;500. — Heinse Rmploys Few Men In Butte. F. A. Heinze is now working two mines in the Butte district, one being the Rarus and the other the Corn.i The former is said to be yielding about 1,000 tons of six per cent, copper ore each day and the latter about 500 tons per day. The ore of the Cara runs about 4 per cent. copper and some silver. There is also some silver In the ore of the Rants. With the ex- ception of the first-class grade, all of the product of the two mines is sent to the concentrator at Basin, where it is run through the crushing and concentrating machinery and then re, turned to the smelter in this city.. The ore of the Rarus averaged only three per cent, in copper for a long time, but the average was Increased by adding some of the rich ore, a shoot of which each of the veins contains. The ore of the Cora has never been rich ,but there Is said to be a large body of it. The Bill Is Unconstitutional Judge Smith in department No, 1 of the Lewis and Clarke county dis- trict court has decided that the bill, passed by the last legislature for the purpose of compelling obicers to do their duty, is unconstitutional. Thie is the measure which It was expected would greatly assist the law- abiding citizens of the various com- munities of the state ,in compelling the enforcement of the gambling and other laws.
