THE FERNGLEN IMMIGRANTS. BY TELEGRAPH-PER PRESS AGENCY. Wellington, Jan 8. The Evening Chronicle, referring to the remainder o the *Fernglen* 's immigrants, says : — The local immigration officer made strenuous endeavour to persuade them to go to Wanganui and Foxton, where demand exists for persons of their class, but to no purpose. They said that as their friends lived on the West Coast they would rather go there. It is not yet too late for them to re-consider their foolish determination, and we trust they will have common sense to alter their mind at once. The West Coast of South Island is at present, without exception, the poorest place in the Australian Colonies. People who lived there ten or twelve years left when they could manage to get away. Speaking with intimate acquaintance of the West Coast, we may say to these immigrants that it would be better for them to return to their native country than go there.
