DRIFT Tbere is one phase of tbe itamigra- 'tioD questioa tbat we have not seen meutionfil ia the press, and which offeis au explanation of the coneider- ablo amount of dititrcss and dissatis^ faction prevalent among the new comers. The agricultural problem in this country is one that has not as yet been solved. Our farmers need a large amount of help during the sum- mer months and th° extraordinary de- mand for this class of labor has created a misleading improseioo abroad: Thousandj of immigrants are given work for two months or so in summer, after which their services are not re- quired and they are turned adrift with insufficient funds to lMepthen> through ttie rigors of winter. Some get work at intervals and are able to struggle along, but man) â€" a large percentage â€" are thrown upon obarHy and have to be assisted. We believe immigra tion should bo disaouragcd^ instead of fostered, for some time to come, oir until we have aMsimilated tbe foreign population now clamouring' for work and wages. ^ To the Editor of Tbt AJtatiee. Dr.AR Sir, â€" Owing tu an apparent mis- understanding by sonte of your readers uf a part of n»y letter regarding the cost of irri^Htkin in tbjs part, I will try to ox- ]Jttin attain. Our water right will prob- ably cost from 926 to f3U per acre paid by a water tax levied equally per acre, divided into about ten equal yearly pay- ments, or about from 82.50 to 93 per acre per year. I le^rn from an item in your p«|>er con cernlng the return of Mr. Leitch from Idaho that the writer waa laboring under the delusion that Mr. Lt-itch came to Idaho with thd intention of settling her*, which ii< a nustake, though it is one ttta^ a gixKlly number uf us shared. He told us in plain English, by both word and action, that he did not intend makini{ hiit home here, that hs simply came here to tiae the Country, which, thouxh in the winter months, iro^reosed tkwii so fuvor- ably thiit tliey liad Hearly ducided to lo- cate when, alas ! houiesiekness uf a very virulent type set in, frr)Di the effects of which they were unable to* recover with- out inseting thair kind friends and neigh bors iif Arteinesia and fn^jityiiig the pleas- ure ufa gtiod old Canadian sleighnde again. As our km» may yeur gain we will try nM, t<i muurn then departure fn>ni tMir midal. The proof of those statements and other information may bo gained liy interviewing Mr and Mrs. Ijeitch at the home of their friei ds near Rock Mih*. As an ac<«aHt of our deplorable dent may be had from Mr. and Leitoh'I will not say much about it faying to slate that Will Rusnull is recov- ering from the leriilile blow, in Boise hos- pital, and we hope to soon have him with us again.
