Marked Indeed is the success of those Ameilcan women who have taken up with the work of clubs for the advance ment of the general welfare, and strik ing Ik' the headway which they are" mak Ing as compared with the uncertain re sults obtained by equal suffrage or ganisations throughout the country. It will be noted that the representative women everywhere take up with civic improvement, and to their credit it can be said they accomplish results that could In no other manner be attained. Woman's work Is essentially along these lines, and the various organiza tions of progressive women are entitled to the hearty support of the public. The- Aatorian is to receipt of a cir cular letter from Mrs. H. H. Hojt of Portland, chairman of the Women's Auxiliary for Oregon, tn which the ob jects of that organisation are set forth. The letter is intended to give publicity to the work and" is here presented in full. It is worthy the perusal of all persons who have the welfare of their city at heart: Kc sitting that the success of a move ment Is assured when the press advo cates it, the Women's Auxiliary of the American Park and Outdoor Art asso ciation has appointed a committee for thfc exprta purpose of laying Its work before the newspapers of the United Slates, as the surest means of bringing its existence and aims before the peo ple. ' -' ' - There ;an be no doubt of the hearty cooperation of the women of this coun try in our work when once the matter . gi clearly presented. This we beg that you will kindly assist us in doing by giving a proniinent place in your col umn to the information embodied in this letter, as well as generous space to the general anl local efforts . of this purely, and In the broadest sense, phil anthropic organization. It is our earnest wish that working branches of the auxiliary shall be form ed in every city, town, village and com munity. No elaborate machinery is necessary. Any little coterie of wo men may form a branch, whose work and example is likely to lead to the re generation of the appearance and the heallnfulaess of a large area, and to the added happiness of all men, women, children, birds, animals, atid vegetation within Its limits. . This has been done over and over again heretofore and the process is capable of endless repetition. The object of the auxiliary Is "to leav the world 'more beautiful than we found it," that is, to protect and de velop stating natural beauty"to replace the natu.al beauty that has been de stroyed. Thlsjwork may be done In a dooryard, n school grounds, around public buildings, factories and mills, on railway station grounds or railway rights-of-way, on streets, oc country roads. In cemeteries, on bits of waste ground anywhere, in Urge or small park, etc. It may be done by merely keeping a plot of grass neat, by plant ing a tree, by preserving a group of na tural shrubbery from destruction by those' who do not realize its beauty and actual material value, or by undertak ing fi secure a stater country or city park or a government reservation. No, bit or outaoor oeauiy ia i"" rum us to recognize.'and none too great for us to undertake to, protect or to help to create. Where there is a continuous tearing down; there must be some building up, nr. r.bvtoush. rtiin wffl result. ;. The creation p even one huraatt1 hobitfctitiii involves the obliteration or Injury of some, natural beauty, if it is nothing more than an unsightly rent In the charming green carpet nature so gener ously spreads over her broad floors. It not Infrequently means the complete de molition of natural plantations of trees and shrubs it would take many years and considerable sums of money to re place, and which, in "many instances, might be preserved, to the direct ma terial' advantage of the owner, by a slight alteration in the location of pro posed buildings, ' These questions and all others relat ing to the fitting of grounds for use are included in the teachings of the Wo men's Auxiliary. In fact, to be a working member of this organisation means a liberal education In outdoor art the one art In which the whole world has an active, personal Interest the only one which affects everybody. We feel that In asking you to give pub licity to the alma of the auxiliary we a iv only calling your attention to a question of vital Interest to every com mnnlty: to a public spirited measure which wust appeal to all classes of read era and residents. IMMIGRATION FIGCKK8. Tne Immigration figures for the cal endar year 1901 show the arrival of over 9,Wfl immigrants during the 12 months that were reported for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1901 The total number of Immigrant arrivals during the 12 months ending with December. 1902, Wis T3J.JS9, as compared with 522.5T3 during the calendar year for 1901, 72,1:SS during the year 1900, and 361,318 during the year 1S99. The Immigration for the fiscal year 1&2 amounted to a total of 7SS.992, that being the only 12-month period showing a heavier Immigration to the United States than the calendar year lately closed. An examination of the record In de tail chows, out of 73J.2S9 immigrants arriving In the United States last year, 702,26$ were from Europe, 2S.767 from Asia, and 5.267 from the West Indies. Italy was the former place of residence of 201,266 of the newcomers, Austria Hungary of 1S5.659, and, Russia of 123,- 88A These three countries of eastern or southern Europe furnished 510.S07 of the Immigrant arrivals of last year, a number greater than the total Immigra tion for any year in the history of the United Stajes excepting the fiscal years 1SSI-S4. 1S91, 1S92 and 1902. The swarm of Immigrants entering this country from eastern and south ern Europe is causing not a little ap prehension. The influx of more than half a millions of these foreigners per year, if long continued, wou'd undoubt edly raise some serious problems, both political, social and economic. The ca paclty of the United States to assimi late so large a number of persons who are absolutely without training or tra ditions in the American style of living and habit of thought and action is cer tainly a puzxling question. Perhaps a more serious problem Is one of sup port, not for the newcomers who can live on a pittance, but for those who must compete with them in the strug gle for existence. This difficulty is not so apparent at present as it is certain to be when times are dull again. Pros perity, unprecedented prosperity, has kept the demand for labor in this coun try above the supply for a series of years. This condition has been favor able to labor organizations and has justified a compliance with demands for better wagps all along the line. But If a series of lean years should fol low a period jf great plenty, the labor market would be entelrely changed, and when the supply of labor exceeds the demand fo it, labor organizations are Ineffectual :o prevjnt the fall of wa??s. The presence In this country of several millions of foreigners who were not here during the years of de pression following the panic of 1893, an! who are accustomed to living on an entirely different plane, and are able and willing to work for exceed ingly meagre wages, will be a new and serious element in the economic prob lem if the present period of prosperity should wane. Germany no longer furnishes this country with a large number of new comers. The number entering the United States from Germany last year was 32,733. Ireland sent 31,406 Imml- gants to thew shores last year. Nearly 60,000 came from Sweden and Norway. England contributed 16,147, Scotland 2,863, and Wales 9i'2. The English speaking, people who come from the British isles and the Immigrants from Sweden, Norway and Germany are highly desirable and in marked con trnst to the type of Immigrant from eastern and" southern Europe.: How; ever, these countries furnished about one-fifth of the total Immigration of last year.
