"Since annexation, under our alien
labor laws, individuals and assocta-
lions can not import contract labor, so
most of the immigration, consisting
principally of Japanese, is voluntary
and largely transient. 1t has been
construed. however, that this law does
NOT apply to the territorial government,
and so the work is now carried on by
them. One of the latest experiments
was the importation of a couple of
hundred of the sect of Russians
known as Molokans, but it proved
failure. The Portuguese, while having
a tendency to drift away from the
and build up small homes
and truck farms of their own, are
among the steadiest and most indus
trious of the immigrants so far secur-
ed, and the Territory now has an agent
of this class.

and are apt and intelligent, but are, as

requirements.
N"A carrier is entitled to carry any
package in bulk larger than that
which the postoilice department will
take, but he is not allowed to receive
remuneration for his services from
the person who sends the package.
In all eases he must collect for his
services from the recipient of such
package.
"There was great complaint on the
part of the various newspapers in
certain localities against the carrier
favoring one newspaper more than
the other, and thereby increasing the
circulation of the favored one to the
detriment of the other one, and mas
much as the carrier was in il position
to solicit and deliver newspapers as
Il side issue it is reasonable to believe
that he could readily increase the
circulation CT any newspaper in his
territory.
"Also if carrier were allowed TO
collect from Il merchant who desired
to ship goods to lccal patrons by
means Of the carrier, it would influ-
ence the carrier to try to increase the
business of the merchant having such
facilities for delivering, and at any
rate would cause people to buy at the
store of such a merchant, merely be-
cause it would be convenient.
"This would necessarily work a
hardship with the merchant who did
not employ the carrier as a delivery
agent and for that reason it is best
that all packages carried by the car
rier which do not conflict nor COM
pete with his regular mail business
be collected for at their destination.
"During the early part Of the Win
ter and throughout the most of the
winter carriers resigned in great num-
bers because the pay was deemed by
them inadequate, but since the latest
increase has been assured by Congress
there have Eeen no more resi"na-
tions than are usual, that is, of the
81 900 carriers there are usually an
average of 60 designations per week. -

Don't QuarreQ Over the Skin Before
You Kill the Cotton Bear.


Ever see rabbit beagles stop chas-
ing rabbit to quarrel over the game

these have more common animal sense
than some Of we Cotton Association
and Farmers Union men who pop
ing with each other about who is en-
titled to the skin of the cotton bear
before the old heifer has been killed.
It matters little to the average cot
ton grower who kills out the cotton
bear and spcculating element just so
we get them out of the way.
The great rank and file Of the Far
mers' Union and the Cotton Associa-
ton are more interested in combining
the forces of the two organizations for
good strength and hard fighting on
cotton prices next fall than we are
in elevating the interest of a few Off
cials in both organizations who keep
up strife for their own selfish ends.

Grandmother's Book

When Grandmother's birthday approached Ned did

cison he to a bookstore and bought book that
the dealer recommended, and which Ned knew was
good one. He had read it himself and knew that it
full of thrilling scenes and romantic adventures

sister the night before the birthday "Tm giving her

Another book for her? What is t?'
Ned named the novel with some reluctance.

judgment?'
whats the matter with t." demanded the brother
''WelI, it's too late to exchange it now | suppose.
but you'd better suggest 10 her that if she prefers
you will exchange it for something more substantial.
"NIaybe YOU know replied Ned ''but I don't
believe in NARROWING old folks with bunch of dryas
dust books"
When grandma came down to breakfast the morning
Of her birthday, Neds novel stood in all its glory in
the midst of the more serious volumes.
That night at late hour when Ned's sister tiptoed
quietly to her own room to avoid waking the other
members of the family, she saw the light burning in
grandmOther's room. Surprised that the old lady
should be up at midnight the girl looked in at the
partly opened door.
Grandmother was reading. She was more than

Progress" nor "The Problems Of To-Day" nor yet

eyes and flushed checks grandmother was following
the fortunes of the hero and heroine of the novel Ned

Pony and RattleSnake

A California farmer, who has three small children
owns pony which is their constant companion. They
have ridden him, rolled over him. fed him, and have
come to consider him as one OF the family When the
children went on petition and did want to ride,
the pony went along as if he had been a pet dog
One day the three children went on a nutng expedi-
ton and while they gathered the nuts the pony grazed
near by Suddenly, almost beneath the feet of the
nut gatherers there was ominous whir-r-r-r. and
they with horror big woods RATHER coied ready
to strike.
The children huddled together, too much frightened
to move but as the deadly head swayed back and forth
there was quick tramPe of hoofs rush through the
bushes and the pony appeared.
With his four little sharp hoofs punched together
50 that there nothing but hard bone for the snake
to strike he shot up into the air. landed squarely the
snakes COIL and bounded off again out Of reach Of the
rattler's stroke.
The interruption had released the frightened children
from the charm, and they ran a short distance away,
and stopped to witness the contest. The RATHER
wounded but full OF fight, and cOled again, and again
the pony landed him and got away safely This
time the snakes body nearly severed in two places,
and the snake was conquered. The pony walked
round it, and apparently satisfied, gave cheerful
whnny and returned to his grazing YOUTHS CON-
PaHiOn.

Hole Shipped by Express

It remained for an old soldier Of Iowa to break
the record by having shipped to him from South Car
DINA the hole through which he made his escape from
prison during the Civil War On a recent visit to the
South, Major s. H. NJ. Byers who is the hero OF the
tale, visited the old prison at Columbia, S. c. where
for fourteen long months he kept captive. The
old building had been rcmodeed, but a carpenter was
obtained and there, under layer of fresh boards
the Major overoyed to find the identical hole which
he had sawed out with blunt Caseknife and through
which he made the thrilling escape which has so this day
puzzled some of the Confederate guards. The hole
was cut out and presented to the Major who had
it shipped North, and it now occupies conspicuous
place in his elegant drawing room, along with costly
CurOs from abroad.
