Chinese immigration Is welcomed In
Mexico. There Is "a tradition pre-
served In the old histories Of the &C.
lestial empire that centuries ago
trading junks from China landed on
the western coast of Mexico and
opened up commercial relations with
the subjects of Montezuma. The Chi
nese often have in mind this ancient
relation when they go to the country
over which rules President Diaz. The

Some of the Chinese under the d.
rection of shrewd agents have even
passed over both the Canadian and
Rio Grande borders CARRIED as nuns.
Most of them are born imitators, and
once they have seen their instructor
in familiar poses they follow his d.
rections to the letter.
Little is heard these days OF the
spectacular methods of running the
blockade which were once employed
by eager Chinese and have dropped in
to disuse. Chinese no longer have
themselves packed up In boxes or
chests and sent by express; neither
do they go in vans, which are likely to
be suddenly tipped into rivers. There
are seldom wild chases across the
snow from Canada to the United
States, with accomplishments of bay
ing hounds and barking revolvers.
Such methods are irregular and unre-
liable and they have been supplanted
by those which are esteemed as more
businesslike.
Chinese are not welcomed In Can
ada any more than they are here and
a head tax of $500 each is placed up
on them. 1t is regarded as, in fact,
prohibitive. Until three months ago,
when law was passed assessing
them at $500 head, no such tax was
exacted In Newfoundland.

OF A TRAPPER.
Discovered Great Salt Lake and Knew
Every Rocky Mountain Pass
Had Marvellous Memory.

Jim Bridger stands forth as the
most conspicuous figure in the
brief but glorious reign of the trap
per and trailmaker in the far west,
relates Outing. The greatest fur
hunter and the greatest pathfinder
of them all, and possessing the
most intimate knowledge of the
Indian nature ever vOuchsafed II
white man, Bridger will grow in
stature as time goes on and accu
rate history is written.
No part of the great Rocky
mountain country held Il secret
from Jim Bridger. He was the
first white man, after John Golfer,
to view the wonders of Yellow
stone park and the first to look on
Great Salt lake. Seemingly bear
ing a charmed life, he wandered
through the lands of many Indian
tribes, sometimes fighting the red
men, but more often living their
life and finding the sOlace Of true
brotherhood at the lodge fire.
Every mountain Jim Bridger
climbed, every stream he crossed
and every game trail he followed
was written down in the most mar
velOus memory ever granted 4
plainsman. AS a result years lat
er, when the white men, bold but
laundering, sought the easiest
paths OvermOuntains, Jim Bridger
showed them the best trails for
their wagons, and when the chief
engineer of the Union Pacific had
well-nigh given up hope of getting
his rails across the divide il was
Jim Bridger who showed an avail.
able pass which he had traversed
years before in his trapping days
and the existence of which no 9th.
err white man knew.
A few months ago this chief en-
gineer, Gen. Genville NJ. Dodge,
showed his gratitude by rescuing
Jim Bridger's body from neglect
ed grave and interring it at Kan
sas City under an appropriate
mOnument--probably the first act
Of gratitude ever performed for
the man who put the whole empire
of the west in his debt.
