JAP COLONY IN BEET FIELDS
Little Brown Men Take Places of
Russians and Americans In
Many Localities.

A Japanese colony Is now firmly rooted
and prosperous in Nebraska, according to
Joe Williams, travelling passenger agent of
the Burlington, who has just returned from
a trip through the North Platte valley,
where he has been inspecting the govern
ment irrigation projects
This country is fast Icing settled by
homeseekers, but the growing of sugar
beets demands so many laborers that labor
has been scarce and high priced, so in
stead of the Russian and American boys
to work in the sugar beet fields, Japanese
labor is being secured, which the growers
find cheaper and more intelligent than
many other nationaltes." said Mr. VIII
liams. 1.-THE Japs have contractor who
looks after their welfare and the boys seem
to like the rural work
at present there is a rush OF homeseekers
to the North Platte valley, and the lands
under the government bitches are fast
being taken up. They have nearly 1OC
miles of the great water duct completed
and the sides of ii are almost finished by
hand so smoothly that it is said it .Y!ll

RUSH WHEN FROST IS GONE
Many Improvements 10 Re Made by
street Railway Company
I'm the Spring.

Many improvements have been planned
by the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company for this spring, as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, and
thousands OF dollars will he spent for
labor and material One of the likely pro-
jects is the building of the line from Vim
ton to Leavenworth street on Twenty
fourth street. The Dodge street car line
will be extended north from Thirtieth and
Bristol to Thirtieth and Pratt streets.
Missouri Avenue, in South Omaha, is to he
paved and this will necessitate the relay
ing of that track. California street is to
be paved from Twenty-sixth to the Boue-
ward and probably to Thirty-third street,
and this track will have to be relaid and
rebuilt with girder rails. The shops at
Twenty-sixth and Lake streets will be
completed and equipped with most modern
machinery.
Thirty new cars will be bought and their
summer cars already have been ordered.
the other twenty being closed cars of the
larger type. Gangs of men are at work
on the at the end Of the Leavenworth
street line when the weather permits and
this line soon will have its through SER
vice established. The track to Forest Lawn
cemetery will be completed the first thing
In the spring and cars put on Immediately.
The contractors are at work on the
Bellevue line and as soon as the frost goes
from the ground large forces of men will
be put to work that the grading may be
finished in the specified time. The COM
pany will have the ties and rails on hand
and push the work as fast as the grading
is finished.

University settlement worker Tells
OF Life Among the Poor People
t In ChicaEo'a Packing House
. .... District,

Miss Mary Mcdowell. who for nearly
twelve years has been prominently identi-
fed with the University Settlement work
i'm the stock yards district at Chicago.
said last evening in her talk at the First
conversational church. with all the
faults that labor unions may have today,
the snly hope of labor is in organization
and that Of both men and women" That
was the last statement in the talk of this
Interesting woman. but 1t was delivered
WIT h much earnestness and force.
Miss McDowcT's talk was the third num-
her in the Peoples Institute course being
given at the First Congregational church.
The church was we'll filled and the speaker
atteutiveiy listened TO.
After explaining shc had not como to
give professional or theoretical talk. but
rather to speak rs one who had tried for
nearly twelve years to live in close SYM
patty and touch with the thousands of
packing house operatives in tho packing
house district Of Chicago. Miss Mcdowell
proceeded 10 tell her hearers some interest
ing facts concernluE the lives of those
with whom she had worked and Of the
labors and accomplishments of the Uni
vcrsty Settlement.
Trouble of fhc Workers.
contend with in our work is that general
illusion which imbucs the thousands who
come to the packing house district from
foreign shores-it is that illusion about
getting nm in America They come from,
in many instances, a 25-cents-per-
day standard of living and sec America
as In a mirage. Many want to own IA
. home soon after they settle here and they
become anxious TO keep up the payments
on a small income by sending their wives
to work and making tho children help as
soon as possible. The average weekly earn
ings of the packing house empoye in our
settlement is $40 per week. Thanks to
our child labor law in Illinois, the packing
house employers are not now employing
children under 16 years of age.
when myself and co-workers took hold
of the work again in the settlement after
the great strike of 1904, sort of hopeless
dread hung over the community, Men were
afraid to assemble and discuss social and
labor questions for fear of being spied on;
at least they Imagined they were con-
tinually being watched Unions were or
ganized and much good was done along that
line, although there is much yet to be done.
7 firmly believe the eight-hour day will
come, even in this mechanical age.
Generally speaking, our ideals are more
for profit than for joy. Ruskin said:
Wealth is life but many of us are so
blinded with the dollar standard we are
unable to see there is a great waste of
human life in our economic system.
"At the settlement have established
a park. baths, club house library. churches
and other things which make life wealth
and wealth life as Ruskin understood IT."
Following the talk Miss Mcdowell read
fly responded to questions asked her re-

raised that the railroad commissioners

'y'MY attention has frequently been
called to- the question of the constitu-

newspapers Of st. Paul, notably the
st. Paul Dispatch, In an editorial ut
terance,. makes the serious charge and
Indictment that the board Of railway

strained and prohibited from perform

tute proceedings to test this question
