TWIN CITY CHINESE. H..
NUMBER TWO HUNDRED

Determination of Chinese dates is al
most impossible in the making out Of
Chinese immigration certificates even
with the help Of an interpreter, and
as the Minneapolis office Of Chinese in
spection is not equipped with a celes.
commerce and labor today presented the
local inspectors two red morocco vol
umes which it is hoped will do away
with the uncertainty and! confusion that
has attended the making, out of3eertif-
Gates in the past.
The book is compiled by j.. A. Gard
ner, Chinese interpreter and Inspector in
tween 1S49, when gold was discovered
and the first batch of immigrants came
over, to 1914. g.,
Inspector R. F. Davis returned from
New York today from a deportation
case. He was much interested in the
an important addition for the work of
the service, but is a valuable addition
to our literature on China,
"When Chinese witness is asked
the date of his original arrival in the
United States,' said he, "he would
give it in this order, 'Kwong Sui, such
year' s such j. a a. month, such e ia day.
Of the present emperor, which began
the 9th day Of February, 1875. The
reigns previous to the present reign,
beginning with 1849, we're Du Kwong,
Ham Fung, and Tung Chez. The ar
rangement of the English and the Chi
nese dates side by side will be Of in
valuable help.''
When asked if Chinese immigration
to Minnesota from other states in the
past few years had been remarkably
large, Mr.. Davis said that the office had
no figures compiled at present to prove
the assertion, but that the number of
Chinese in the twin cities had increased
until the Chinese colonies have over
two hundred members.
