From California.

Law makers have lately been having
quite a time in the California legislature
relative to japanese migration to Cali
fornia; but in taking . vote i 'S,as unan-
imous in favor OF restricting japanese
migration to the Pacific coast. In
many parts Of California the Japanese
labor is about to supplant American la
Dor and some places the Japs hage leas-
ed orchards and vineyards and are run
ming the whole business with Mongolian
labor. IN Fresno county some Of the
Japs own vineyards. In an editorial on
this subject the San Francisco Chronl-
Gle says, in part:
s'It is frequently stated that 4 certain
proportion Of Japanese labor is required
to harvest our fruit crops. If tins be
true we cannot uproot our orchards and
vineyards too quickly. There is no
profit to DC got from any branch Of the
fruit industry, or from all branches cOn=
bined which will Justify the continuance
of the present Japanese invasion. The
extent and character OF this Japanese
invasion as it already exists are not real
lzed. It is not only the laborcr who is
being displaced; it is the farmer, the
merchant and the mechanic. In one
woll-known fruit district in this state 1t
is said that half the orchards are rented
to Japanese. They are renting farms in
ali fruit districts. In some they have
begun to buy them.

developed that japanese were not only
renting Fresno vineyards, but rapidly
buying them. When the Japanese Of

"My father in his childhood played

heard him tell how his little friend
would go out into the fields and take
up fearlessly in his hand beetles and
spiders and all manner of fearsome
bugs.
One day he took up a wasp. He
was very small, you see, and ignorant
of wasps' nature. So he took this wasp
up in his hand. and, of course, 1t
stung him.
Instantly he dropped ii. and set on
homeward in an agony of pain and

Barrel Cactus the Only Hope Of Thirs.
ty Travellers.

A traveller gives an account Of how
the Indians of the desert obtain drink.
ing water from the barrel cactus. It
was among the desert hills west of
Torres, Mexico. The Indian cut the
top from plant about five feet high.
and with a blunt stake pounded to a
pulp the upper six or eight inches of
white flesh in the standing trunk.
From this, handful by handful, he
squeezed the water into the bowl he
had made in the top Of the trunk.
throwing the discarded pulp on the
ground. BY this process he secured
two or three quarts of clear water.
slightly salty and slightly bitter to the
taste, but of far better quality than
some of the water desert traveller is
occasionally compelled to use. The
Indian. dipping this water up in his
hands, drank 1t with evident pleasure.
and said that his people were accus-
toned not only to secure their drink
ing water in this way in times of ex-
treme drought, but that they used it
also to mix their meal preparatory to
cooking it into bread. q
