JAPANESE ENTER FRISCO
TIDE OF IMMIGRATION POURs
INTO CALIFORNIA.
Some Are Held Till Secretary OF Treas
ury Decides on Their Cases-Claimed
to be Under Contract.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-Thirty-
three of the batch of 219 Japanese steer
age passengers who arrived on the
steamer Belgian King a few days ago,
have been refused landing by the inn
migration officials, but have appealed
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
pending a reply from Washington Will
be held here instead of returning to
Japan on the Belgian King. The prin-
cipal reason for their rejection by the
officials is the discovery of evidence
that the japanese came here as con-
tract laborers. Their case was acted
upon by a special board of inquiry, con-
ssting Of Commissioner H. H. North,
H. H. Schell, T. NJ. Crawford, A. H.
Geffeney and A. de la Tore Jr. In adj
dition to the thirty-nine japanese re-
jected on the Belgian King, the immi-
grafton officials have rejected five of
the 1O9 Japanese steerage passengers
who arrived on the steamer Doric on
the ground that they were inflicted with
dangerous diseases. The rejection OF
the five was made upon the recommen-
dation of Quarantine officer Kinyoun.
The immigration officials have learn
ed that batch of 500 steerage passen-
gers will arrive here on the steamer
Nippon Maru due on April 18th. The
work of the officials is increasing, and
w. Curtis has been appointed assistant
Japanese interpreter Still another in
terpreter is said to be necessary.
WASHINGTON April 16.-Up to this
point nothing has been done by the
Washington authorities looking toward
the restriction of the immigration OF
japanese into this country, beyond the
application of the contract labor laws.
| The enforcement of these laws is in
! trusted to the officials of the Treasury
! Department, and so far as is known
! they have not discovered any move
ment toward the bringing into the
| United States of japanese coolies under
labor contracts. They are not. however
authorized to interfere with the incom-
! ing of the Japanese who can satisfy
! the requirements of the law in the mat
| ter of freedom from contract obliga-
! tions and ability to maintain them
| selves 1t is believed that, unlike other
| Orientals, few Japanese, even of the
! labOring classes, fail to make suft1c-
lent showing on these points to pass
muster and secure admission at the
Golden Gate. Although the recent re-
ports from San Francisco of the arrival
at the port of considerable numbers OF
! Japanese laborers, taken in connection
with the steady increase of the Japan
csc population of the Hawaiian Islands
has attracted the attention of the ex-
| ecutive branch of the Government, it Is
| said that even Supposing the presence
of the japanese within our territorial
limits should be regarded as undesira-
BILE, the subject of restriction is entirely
beyond executive reach at present, be-
ing one for the consideration of Con-
gress. The figures of the immigration
bureaus of the Pacific Coast are, how
ever, being closely watched, for upon
their showing may depend important
recommendations upon this subject.

SOME LOCAL EDUCATIONAL EVILS. Low Salaries. 4S
 It is a stern reality which stares us squarely in the face. that in this county teachers salaries have been dropping lower and lower every year for several years past.
 There are chiefly three reasons for this; 1st. The increase in the number of home teachers, many of wIron being beginners think they should teach for low wages 2nd. There has been much money vast. ed by School Bnar,ia; 3rd. The general hard times of d few years ago connected with recent refusals of the railroad to pay taxes on the full valuation of it's property, has curtailed in measure, our iH. come for school purposes.
 Now that times are good and all branches of industry are flourish ing, and prices of all commodities up and rising. why should not the people who are to train the minds of the coming leaderJ and repre- sentative men have an increase Ill salary? The answer from every teacher must be yes. but some may ask liuw caR We obtain it? It is easy etRragh. All that is necessa- ry Is fer tine ho;ne teachers to com bine and set their prices on each and every school in the county, al lowing that it Is proper for any teacher to get as Auch more than the set prices as possible. It ought to be easy enough for any home teacher t0 get much as the smallest salary for which an impOr ted teacher can be employed. And &ny teacher who will come any dis tance and teach here for less than $6O00 per month, is not worth mir. ing at any price. So it would easi- ly seem that there is nu use for an y one to teach for less than $60 O0 per month in this county.

For some years the survey has been working along on small apIropri- ations. making slrram measure mpnts and reservoir surveys, but if the West IS to attain its full de- velopment thru irrigation. this work should be pushed and reser vuir sites should he determined. surveyed and set aside. subject to development by private capital ar gnvernment enterprise.

degrade teachers salaries, Is strik- ing the educational interests of it's district hard blow, for no teacher can work as enthusiastically on < mere pittance az he can on decent salary. And evefl a board who em- plOys teacher for some measly salary can not respect that teacher so highly as one who cannot be em pfoyed for any thing short of big round salary, hence the cheap tea cher starts into his school handi- capped on that score. There are many other good reasons why it is bad pedagogics for teachers to be employed at low salaries.
 The Dummy Teacher.
 By dummy teacher, We mean the fellow who teaches without a certif icate and who draws no salary in his or her own name, but draws pny through some other teacher in the same school. This is one of the results of the low salary craze. It is q direct violation of the law anal it is the duty of every teacher t0 nse his influence tO prevent such clandestine frauds from being perpetrated upon the public. If teachers will line up against such practice they can stop It in one year and it need never be allowed tu he in our way again. Some people CT runeou4fy believe that one person can teach just az we'll as another, without any regard tn the kind nf training necessary. For such he- li-verS hr Dummy teacher seems 2uah enough.
