THE ORIENTAL BLIGHT.
BanefuI Effects of Japanese Labor on
California Fruit Industry.

Haneful effects OF japanese labor in
the fruit growing districts Of California
were Illustrated by the facts set forth
In the Bees news service from Win
tiers, Iolo county, few days ago. Jap
nnesc are the chief reliance OF the or
chardists OF that locality for picking
and packing their crops Many say
they would prefer white labor. but can
not gct II when 1t Ia most needed, so
are Obliged to employ Asintics.
Ii appears that one OF the large
growers had an offer OF $1,000 recently
from Japanese buyer for his whole
! crop, hut was unwilling 10 sell II for
less than $4,000 which he considered
no more than reasonable On the day
following the owners final rejection OF
the oner his crew of Japanese pickers
demanded an Increase of pay from
Sl.2o TO $3.50 day which he WINS
obliged TO grant being at their mercy
The circumstances all indicated that
tie pickcrs were i'll league with the
Japanese buyer to force acceptance OF
his offer. And In number OF in
stances II is related that the japanese
have actually refused to pick the fruit
unless their offers of purchase were
taken. a general demand for moro
wages 10 expected from the hundreds
OF Japanese In the Winters district In
consequence OF the Increase the or
chardist above referred to wns Obliged
to grant.
Like tactics wcre pursued In tho
Florin berry and grape district of Sac
ramento county by tho Japanese to
enable them to become masters of the
situation there. They were first en-
ploycd In small numbers to pick Der
ries and grapes because OF the chenp.
ness OF their labor, but as the white
growers became more and more dc
pendent OH the Japanese the latter
saw their Opportunity and Insisted on
more pay. Eventually they combined
to force owners TO tense berry patches
and vineyards through control of the
labor market and by demanding ex-
cessive wages.
The result is that IN district once
occupied exclusively by white fam.
illcs, each filling n well kept property
OF from five TO twenty ncres, the Jap
nnesc now dominate. growing and
shipping nearly all the berries. to the
number of hundreds OF carloads year
ly, and also large proportion Of
grapes. Most OF the neatly kept homes
have given place TO Japanese shacks,
with no regard for appearances, and
the district, ns whole. has suffered
greatly from the blight of the orientals
1t would be much better for Sacra-
mcnto county to grow fewer grapes
and berries and bc all white thnn

 Lamson arrived here on Thursday from New York for his summer vaca- tion. being one of the few people Oi that great city who really appreciate
 the beauties of Arizona as a summer resort. He stopped off a day in Iron Springs and will be around here for a few days. possibly going up to Roose- welt. After that he will go to Iron Springs for the summer. Mir. Lamson owns eighty acres of land on Center street four and a half miles north Of Phoenix and is most enthusiastic over the future of this valley. As many people know. MT. Lamson is an actor and a good one. He has closed a most successful season in the company pre- senting "The Heir to the Hurrah'' and added to the fame acquired in Young Tobe Lacy. Next season he will be a prominent member of the company of which Lillian Russell will be the bright particular star.
 POINTER STAR STARTS WELL w. D. Hammond received a letter q day or two ago from George Richard son. who recently left here for Cedar Rapids. la. with his pacer. Pointer Star. He said the horse was in two wrecks on the way and pretty wei jared up but was working out all right, though the weather was bad and there was lots of rain and mud. Rich ardson himself was feeling good and had gained six pounds in five days. He said he did not expect to starr Pointer Star at all, or if he did he would put him in the 2:15 class just to educate him, as he only belongs in the 2:26 class and he would not ex- Pect to win any money. Yesterday Mir Hammond received a telegram saying that the 2:15 race had taken place on a very heavy track and Pointer Star took third money.
 DRY FARMING-A subscriber who is interested considerably in the sub ject of dry farming. reports to The Republican that he has understood that some experiments along that line have been made in Arizona, but he has never been able to learn the re- suit of them. He has been told that not many years ago some one tried that method of crop raising in the western part of this valley. He has also been told that it has been prac ticed to limited extent in the Mo gollOn mountains and that the Indians of southern Arizona once undertook this kind of agriculture. If any read CT knows Of these things and knows the result of the experiments it would be of general interest to prepare some thing for publication on the subject.
 THE GAS MEN WON-In the base bal! game at Eastlake park yesterday the Electric Light and Gas Co.'S tean, carried the honcrs away from the New York Store team, but the margin was

the bodies of five young coyotes which he had acquired after incredible la bOr. He had dug them out of the ground about four miles north of the city. He began the excavation at two o'clock in the afternoon and finished about midnight. When he got near enough to them to hear them scratch ing he finished them by smoking them out. One of them came forth alive but it was killed before it could get a start. The coyotes were in such a stage of puppyhood that it was not certain that they were not foxes. The boy himself was inclined to the fox theory until he learned that while the county paid s1 a head for coyotes it paid nothing for foxes. Thereupon the boys doubt was removed. He was sure that they were coyotes.
 GEN. SHERMAN NOT COMING Superintendent s. H. Mitchell of the Phoenix Railway Co. returned yester- day from Los Angeles. making quick trip and remaining but twenty four hours is the city. He accompa- nied Mrs. Mitchell. who will spend the summer on the coast. MT. Mitchell says that things are quieting down in Los Angeles. Gen. Sherman is very busy man at present and much re- grets that it will be impossible for him to visit Arizona at present. He has had numerous letters from prominent citizens of Prescott. who desired his presence at the unveiling ceremonies next week. but on account of previous arrangements Gen. Sherman will not he able to meet with the old timers on that occasion. MT. Mitchell found it hot even in Los Angeles. and more so coming along the line on his return trip home.
