geant, commits ioner of immigration
and naturalization, as a result OF his
recent visit to the islands.
Sergeant today expressed the opin,
ion that there ale fewer japanese in
the Hawaiian Islands now than there
were two wears ago, greater number
having come to America in that
period than arrived in Hawaii.
Mkt SaitO, the Japanese consul
general at Honolulu intimated to
Sergeant that the Japanese govern
ment discouraged Its people from
coming to the United States because
of its knowledge of the conditions
existing in this country, especially
on the Pacific coast, and it was ap
prenen i've lest the coming acre Of
great numbers of japanese might in
duce prejudice against them that
would be embarrassing.
Labor Badly Needed.
Sergeant found that owners of plan
ia IONS in the islands are i'll serious
need of labor and many Japanese are
coming to the islands 10 work on
them. He said the effort of Hawaiian
planters was to Diversity their labor
as far as possible, not combining to
any one race but getting people from
all quarters of the world. A second
ship load of Portuguese will make the
island their permanent home.
Many more plantations would be
operated on The island if it were pos
sibe to obtain necessary laborers,
but up to the present time labor has
'bren scarce. IL IL expected that the,

Many Answers.

Last week the DEMOCRAT
asked who w. H. Merrill, of
Pittsburg, was and what farm
of 400 acres near Monroe he
bought 80 years ago tor &c.,
900.
The object of the question
was to get at values of land
then and now. And to see how
many of the older citizens were
close readers of the paper and
thereby learn the true value of
the Peoples Paper as an adver-
Using medium.
The answer they there, re-
member that fellow and the
Frank Griffith farm" was fired
at Us several times, in spite of
the lapse of time.
But it took ]. G. Piersol to go
into details as he made the sale.
Mr.. Merrill was from Kenesha
instead of Pittsburg. The farm
at that time was held by DIR.
Bailey of this city and Logan Sc
Thompson of Palmyra, and the
farm was not paid for in cash,
for So, 600 worth of property at
Pittsfe!d, Ill.,, was taken in the
trade.
Today in spite of the build
ings being unkept, the farm
would bring $4,000.
The farm south of the city
known as the r V. Sullivan
farm, in 1890 was on the market
at 81 per acre and during all
those Intervening years paid
good returns; was sold some
two years ago tor $75 per acre
and today cannot be bought for
the same money.
