FORWARDING AND RECEIVING FREE 



The immigrants placed up country or who wish to join 

 their relations, are taken care of by forwarding Agents who 

 remit their luggage properly labeled, note down the immigrants 

 so forwarded, provide them with tickets and see them on to 

 the train or river steamers. 



ARRIVING AT THE PROVINCES AND POINTS OF DESTINATION 



The immigrants who go to the Provinces or National 

 Territories to be settled, are met on arrival of the train by 

 the Secretary of the Branch Office, boarded and lodged for 

 ten days until they are settled or leave for some fixed desti- 

 nation. If they should have to change trains, they are 

 looked after by this Official in the same way as in the Fede- 

 ral Capital, from the arrival of one train until the departure 

 of the one in which they continue their journey. 



POST AND TELEGRAPH OFFICE 



For the better handing of the immigrants correspondence 

 and in order that the Head Office and National Employment 

 Office can transmit without delay, orders and instructions 

 all over the Republic, there is a Post and Telegraph Office 

 in the Immigration Hotel. 



STATISTICAL RETURNS

 Immigration movement from 1857 to 1903.

 grants, the information corresponding to the years running 

 from [857 to 1903 is given, and in those which refer to their 

 trades and forwarding to the interior, the information has 

 been taken corresponding to the last decade, this lapse of 

 time being sufficiently demostrative.
