GETTING THE IMMIGRANTS

The immigration bureaus of Western
railroad lines have compiled some very
Interesting statistics dealing with the
number OF immigrants landing at New
York and their distribution throughout
the country. During 1900, 81, 699
aliens and 3l.792 citizens of the United
States landed in New York as steerage
passengers. In 1901 there were 412.4l6
aliens and 26,452 citizens.
New York naturally takes the larg.
est share OF these immigrants, though
the gains are being made in Western
States. New York took 154,527 in 1900
and l52,959 in 1901, while in 1900. 955
went to Minnesota and in 1901 this in.
creased to 55SS. North Dakota took
an average OF 2OOG Tor each of the two
years, South Dakota about the rame
number and Montana bcuf 1000 each
year The largest proportional gains
were made in Washington and Oregon.
The proportion OF the total immi.
grants the Western States receive is
small, but the significant feature Is
that the West is mailing steady ad.

A JAPANESE VIEW,
Hawaii Shinpo.l

Japan Weekly Times writes about
the Japanese laborers here, saying,
"A mans wages are SIS a month and
a womans $l4. But as they rest a
week in the month and spend much
on their living, their remittances home
are quite Insignificant" The real trcu.
BILE with them, nowadays, they work
a week and spend the rest of the
month in looking for better jobs. Since
they are no longer bound by the penal
contract as OF yore. they quit their Do.
sition on any slight excuse, and new err
hold a situation for any length of time.
No wonder that they have not enough
to spare to remit home. Liberty when
miscarried Is often worse than slavery
and truly, the abolishing OF the labor
contract system here has SO far pre-.
scented most disastrous consequence
so far as money saving is concerned,
not only to the laborers. but all con.
cerned.
