The Washburn trophy will be COM

have an opportunity Of seeing what
it's infantry riffemen can do in compe-
tition with other states.
A challenge was some time ago sent
out by Adjt.-Gen. Libbey, of Mime

pated.in the last contest in 1891. Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin. Michigan and Min
nesota. All but Michigan, which is
armed with an inferior rifle, were fav-
orable to and willing for a contest. As
a result the meeting was called to meet
in Chicago last. Each state interested
was entitled TO two representatives,
and Mai. F. B. Wood, Second regiment,
and Capt. o. E. Lee, brigade inspector
of small arms practice. were selected to
represent Minnesota, and Maj. Wood
was chosen as secretary of the inter-
state association. All states except
Michigan were represented.
The Illinois delegation proposed IL
linois as the state in which the first
contest would be held, but a suggestion
having been made that Minnesota
range was in good condition 1t was
decided after vote to have the con-
test take place in Minnesota at Camp

as laborers at days work is rapidly on
the increase, tendency which has re-
suited from the restrictions of the jap
anese government in the matter of
permitting subjects to come to. this
country. In the larger Pacific coast
cities there are still consideraplesnum
bers engaged in domestic service as
cooks and house servants, but these
classes are constantly graduating in
considerable numbers into small busi-
ness men, in such lines as restaurant
keepers, fishermen, gardeners, small
farmers and poultry breeders. They do

contract labor, such as railroad or
street work, and the experiments Of
employers in employing them for9that

Among the Japanese immigrants
now arriving in this country there is
but very rarely one who does not read
and write his own language, while 10
per cent of them both speak and read
English to some extent. Practically all
of those coming dress in American
clothes and are more or less familiar
with American customs and manners.
There is seldom one who has with him
less than $50, always in American gold,
while many of them have many times
that sum. Before coming to this coun-
try by far the great majority Of them
go before the United States consul in
the port from which they sail and pre-
sent themselves for examination as to
their qualifications for admission into

Japanese province has been varied
from time to time, these regulations
are still being rigidly enforced, and
their enforcement has had the effect
of very greatly improving the average
intelligence and character of the
japanese coming into this country.
AT the present time japanese i'm
migrants are coming into the country
at the rate Of 1900 month. Fully one
half Of these enter the country at the
port of Seattle, the others entering
principally at Tacoma, Portland and
SaE Francisco. Until within the past
year almost no japanese women came
to this country, but during the past
few months the number of females has
increased until at the present time
nearly one-fourth of those coming fall
in that class. Many Japanese girls
come to this country to attend school,
While prosperous Japanese business
men of the country return to their ma
tive country in considerable numbers
to marry wives, which they bring with
them to America.
Japanese Residents Increase.
At the time the census of 1900 was
taken there We're but 1886 persons Of
Japanese birth in the United States,
but within the three years since that
time this number has probably q little
more, than doubled. OF the number
shown by the census 10,590 lived in
California, 5,769 in Washington, 2,427
in Montana, and 1892 in Oregon, the
rest being scattered in small numbers
throughout the rest of the states. De-

An attempt was made last year to
pull off this match and Illinois signi-

Artillery Contest.
Wisconsin has positively refused to
engage Minnesota in the interstate ar
tillery rifle contest again this fall
claiming that conditions are not equal
but Capt. Ludington, captain of the
Wisconsin team, also admits that no
conditions exist now that did not exist
in both prior contests, and in the first
one Wisconsin doubled out In the score
over Minnesota. Artillery experts who
understand the relative uses of the
black and smokeless powder are will
ing to agree that for target practice the
black powder is the best, for it's quail
tiles are known, while there is great
variation to the smokeless powder
used by Minnesota. g Maj. George C.
Lambert, commanding the Minnesota
artillery battalion, has been in COM

three batteries, and who is now select

been made for the visit of the Mime

ton next year in lieuTof the camp, tits,
practically certain that the brigade VIII
not make the trip down by boat, as was
at first figured on, as too much time
would be consumed and there. would
also be more liability&ofg accident, as
the boats would be crowded.
1t IS certain, however, that the brit
gade will not be rfiobfiized at Lake
City unless the MifwaHkees road puts
in a spur track at Camp EakeView, as
there is so little time now for load
ing and unloading, owing to<the sched-
ule Of regular trains. In this event
the regiments would probably be mob
ilized separately and leave by specials
for st. Louis.
Every attempt possible will be made
to bring the regiments UP to a high
standard, but precautions will also be
taken to prevent the companies re-
cruiting up to limit with men who sim
ply might join for the trip, without
intention of remaining if any plausible
excuse could be found for receiving a
discharge.

The estimated sum total of the loss
the chinch bug eats up $150,000,000 In
country each year is $35S,000,000. That's
a pretty large bug bill, but Of 1t alone
the chinch bugs eats UP $150,000,000 in
corn and wheat in the short time al
lotted to him. The only time the chinch
bug operates upon either of these crops
is during the time from the commence
ment of heading and the turning of
COLOR or ripening of the grain. From
this it will be seen that he improves
the shining hours, but the springful
grasshopper is very little behind with
his bill of about $90,000,000 which he
presents faithfully every year, and i'm
mediately proceeds to collect payment
himself.
Hessian Fly Is Costly.
In 1776 the British government, upon
the eve of a revolution, imported into
the colonies from Hesse help in the
form of the stout soldiers produced at
that time by that portion of Germany.
With them they brought an innocent
looking little insect. which has since
become known to millions by the name
of the Hessian fly. He proved to be
a dread visitor. and his annual depre-
dations ever since, valued at $4,000
600 last season, make a most formida-
BILE array of figures. That sum of
money, which represents the deyasta-
tons of the fly last year, would more
than have maintained the standing
army of the republic for one year and
a half.
The exact manner in which this fly
was brought TO America by the soldiers
has been a matter for much argument;
but the general consensus of opinion is
that he was in hiding in the straw
supplied for the horses on ship board.
However that may be, it is true that
he became imbued with spirit of
emigration and found the means by
which to crafty his longing to
the disgust Of the American farmer.

scholar and gentleman of advanced
ideas and an intelligent conception of
the significance of the growth of the
sentiment against his people. He saw
that if the movement of Japanese to

Emigration Was Restricted.
After making close study Of the
treatment which his newly arrived
countrymen received in the United
States, the consul recommended to his
home government the prohibition Of
pJapanese emigration to this country
until such time as suitable restric-
tons for governing it could be formu-
lated.
This recommendation was followed
by the Japanese government and the
order of prohibition was issued in Oc-
tober of that year. A few months later
the government issued another order
which permitted a certain number of
japanese to emigrate to America each
