/ Washington, Feb. 19. Japanes

schools OF San Francisco under certain
restrictions; skilled and unskiIied la
borers coming from Japan are barred
from the mainland Of the United States,
and American laborera, skilled and nm
skilled, are to be excluded from japan
| This IS the basis OF the agreement
between President Roosevelt and eecre-
tary Root on the one hand and Mavor
schfnitx and the San Francisco school
BOARD on the other, ais an adjustment of
the anti-Japaneae agitation brought
about by the segregation Of Japanese
children in the San Francisco schools.
Inc agreement means that the schools
OF San Francisco will be conducted In
the same manner as they were before
me boarl OF education adopted the rsso-
luton last October, providing for the
segregation OF the japanese, except that
adult Japanese who are in primary
grades must continue to attend The Ori.
entail schools, and that japanese child
rem under 10 will be admitted to classes
with white children OF their own ages
me State department since the pas
sage OF the immigration bill, is prepar-
ca to take up again the negotiations
that were already In progress with the |
Japanese government looking to the
regulation OF Japanese immigration into
fhe United States. 1t is expected the
negotiations will result In agreement
between Japan and the United States
'or the withholding by the former Of
passports to Japanese OF the laboring

In the short time remaining of the

IRRIGATION
PROGRESSES
Water Ready for Vast Tract In Idaho
Next Spring.
MinIdoka Project Has Already Cost
Nearly a MiIlion--Whsn Complete
II WIN Water Nearly 10000
Acres of Land in the Rich Snake
River Valley.

| Washington, Feb. 16. - Progress on
the Boise Payette and Minidoka irriga'
ton projects in Idaho during the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1906, Is extensive
| " reviewed in the fifth annual report
| OF the Reclamation service, now in the
hands Of the public printer. 1t is cyl
dent froni the report that many diff
culties have been encountered on both
projects, due to the scarcity OF labor
and the high cost Of materials, which
made it difficult 20 award contracts on
a favorable basis and made it difficult
for contractors to fulfill their agree
ments. In spite Of delays, however,
the Minidoka project will be ready for
water next spring and the Boise Payette
project will follow along year later.
From the report it is seen that the
total expenditures on the Minidoka
project up to June 80, 1906, amounted
to 1851 1906. The main items are $780,
352 for the main canals, 1888, 1858 for
the Minidoka dam, spillway and diver
sion channel, and $175, 900 for the dis
tributing system. This project, upon
will irrigate from 1870, 900
to 10000 acres of land in Central
Snake river valley, and ultimately
from $4,000 to 10000 acres additional
will be added when the secretary OF the
interior authorizes the construction of
, pumping system on the south side Of
Snake river.
The Minidoka dam was completed
asst fall under contract by Bates & Rog-
'rs and has proven complete success.
Very satisfactory progress has been
made by Orman 4 Crook and by Hub |
lard & Carlson, contractors on the
main canals, but progress by Monarch
Porter, who hold part Of this same
ontract, has been very slow. Only
. per cent of the work under Monarch |
Porter's contract was completed
