This part of the country was

morning that even the oldest in
habitant ever saw The wind be-
gan blowing early in the morning
and shortly increased to a gale.
The ground was bare of snow and
the soil was dry, resulting in a
dust storm, such us never visited
this part of the state before. For
a. hundred feet, from the ground
up, the air was filled with a whirl-
ing mass of dust. The darkness
obscured the sun and filed the
streets and houses to such an ex-
tent that it was impossible to go
across the street while it lasted.
1t blew off the upper section, ten
feet, of the smoke stack at the

The wind storm was followed
by a snow storm, and four or five
inches fell during the rest of the
day, melting rapidly. This storm
was followed by lower tempera-
ture, but the weather has warmed

This plant will separate the ties

CHINESE and JAPANESE
AS Widely Separated as any Other Two
Races Of People-The Jap a Gentleman
Of Intelligence, Integrity and serup-

ETY. two Of his Strong characteristics.

wy las StFOug SnaraCterlStlCS
The great majority of the peo-
pie IN the United States hold the
opinion that there is much SINH
larity of character between the
japanese and Chinese peoples.
Indeed many natives of this coun-
try could hardly be brought to
make any distinction between the
two, for they are always thought
of as possessing much the same
traits and habits as two tribes of
Indians.
But nothing further from the
truth could be imagined. The
characteristics of the Chinaman.
as We know him, are filth, dissipa-
tion, dense ignorance, a creature
welded and clining to customs
and habits of the most degrading
kind. But it must be remember
ed that we See only the lowest

Injustice.

to wash and dress themselves up

the stores and other places,
though they do not loaf around
saloons and gambling places.
They always buy the best of
everything. They are not miser-

and, while economical, they never

This is testimony of the most
reliable character, and shows con-
clusively that the Jap is a pro-
gressive, liberal, intelligent pc
ing, who should he respected by
every one who is an admirer of
those traits of character.
