Migrating Japanese.

Lately almost every steamer for the
Coast carries away a large number OF
japanese laborers from here. They are
said TO be pre-engaged to work in Cali
fornia orchards. beet fields or on rail-
roads. Several recruiting agents now
in the city are Offering every induce
ment for them TO migrate. We hope
the condition on the opposite side Is all
that Is pictured by these gentlemen
and our honest. yet too frivolous. work
ing men shall be we'll contented- Our
rrisEivinE regarding 20 this new move
OF our laborers Is probably due To the
fact that the recent most deplorable
ending OF the laborers shipped TO n
Mexican coal mine by a certain emigra-
ton company IS yet too fresh in our
ruind.-Hawaiian ShinpO.

SCHOOL GIRLS.

School girls are proverbially
pretty. Fact is, its a pretty
age--that time in a girls life
when she has all the beauties
Of womanhood without the
later lines Of care and worry.
But here and there even
among school girls appear
pale drawn faces-a dizziness
and lack OF freshness which
tells a plain story of thin blood.
Now this is not right. But
SCOTS Emulsion can make
it right. SCOTS Emulsion is
what these pale girls need.
SCOTS Emulsion brings back
the beauty to their faces be-
cause it is blood food.

WILL EXTEND THE CAR LINE
Mr.. Crouch Has Returned From st.
Louis and Says he Will Begin
Work This Week.

The long negotiations between F. V.
Crouch and the city council over the
for an extension of the
street railway to the Crouch Park
seem destined to come to naught. Mr..
Crouch recently went to ST. Louis to
copfer with stockholders about the ex-
tension, it being finally borne in on
him that the council was playing hide
and seek with his request that he be
permitted to cross the city land and
pass west Of the power house, and he
announces that work will begin this
week on the extension. He expects to
build east of the citys land and says
he has arranged everything amicably
with the Missouri Pacific so he can
cross on gradeor beneath the approach
to the river bridge.
Mr.. Crouch also tells q pleasant
story to the effect that mammoth
brick-making plant is negotiating for
location east of town on his land
and that there is every prospect that
the deal will shortly be consummated
and work on the 300 900 capacity plant
begin soon. 10000 brick per day
will make the plant one of the largest
in the west.

Because the Land is Valuable

But few short years ago there
were scores of lots in lola which were
not deemed worth paying taxes on
and we're sold and tax deeds given.
Most of these lots we're on the outer
edge of town or in low places. Today
these lots are worth from 5000 to $500
each and many man can figure out
how he Is thousands of dollars poorer
than he would have been had he held
on.
In the district court an interesting
case of this kind has been revived I,
solely because the land which was
allowed to sell for taxes in 1900 is to-
day worth nearly Ave thousand dol
lars, not counting the improvements.
The land consists of fifteen lots in
blocks % and "a in Rhoads' addition,
lots on which Major Foust's house,
John Henderson's house, Ira Patter-
sons new store and other buildings
now stand. These lots belonged to j.
T. Chamberlain and at his death went
to his heirs. The taxes we're not paid
and in 1900 we're sold to different par
ties and tax deeds given. Suit was
brought.and Judgment given quieting

OLEOMARGARINE AGAIN.

The new oleomargarine law, the
much vaunted Grout Bill, which was
to put ten cent tax on o1eomargine
and drive it off the market and out of
competition with butter, went into ef-
feet July !. The REGISTER has in
quir9d carefully of the local retail
dea ,ers as to the effect of the new law
on that part of their trade, aud they
say they do not notice any effect, ex-
cept that their tax is now six dollars
year instead of forty-eight dollars,
as it was under the old law, and they
are buying it little cheaper on ac-
count of the reduced manufacturer S
tax. They handle only uncolored
oleomargarine, but they say they sell
just as much of it as they formerly
did of the colored. Az first some of
their customers protested against the
white product, but when it was ex-
planned to them that the only differ
ence between it and what they had
been using was little paint, they of
fered no further objection. 1t is the
opinion of the local dealers that there
will soon be more white oieomargarine
sold than there ever was of the col
ored article for the reason that on
