THRUST out Of
PROMISED LAND

A representative of the Jiyu Shin
bun went ON board the Manehuria and
saw the 125 japanese laborers deport-
ed from San Francisco after having
been arrested for unlawfully entering
the country. Their tale of trouble was
an interesting one. 1t is given fully
in the japanese paper above named,
so that 1t may be a warning to Japa-
nese going to Canada in hope that
they may be able to cross the border
into the United States.
These deported japanese were arrest
ed in Arizona and Texas, first having
emigrated to Mexico. They did not
find things as they expected in the
latter country and tried to cross the
boundary, when they were arrested at
different times and places. Now they
are homeward bound by compulsion.
Yesterday they were locked up on board
the Manchuria during her stay in port.
They are all men, able bodied fell
lows looking to be bona-fide farmers.
Their manners are more simple than
characterize the general run of Japa-
nese immigrants to Hawaii. They ask
ed the newspaperman if there was no
way to have them land here and take
employment in these islands. Of course
they had to be told the law forbade
such thing.
Most of them went to Mexico about
May and June this year, in the lots
taken direct from Japan to Santa Cruz
by the steamer Kotohira Maru. Some
went to work on sugar plantations and
others in railroad building. Those on
the plantations were paid two dollars
Mexican day, but the climate was so
hot and the place so Unaeeustomed
that they were not able to work more
than two days a week. They could not
live on the income and left the plan
tations to seek other jobs, finally tax
ing the desperate resort of trying to
get into the United States.
The railroad navvies got $3.50 a day,
but had to put Up twenty cents of
that as security against desertion, leav-
ing them only $1.30, or Go cents Amer
lean money, to live on. Still they were
more eontented than the plantation la
borers, but the job did not last more
than two months So it was over the
border for them also.
The japanese heard from the immi-
grafton agents that they could not en-
ter the United States in any regular
way, but might manage to cross the
boundary by stealth. So they struck
out for the border sections least in
habited by civilized people, not re-
allzing what they were going up
against.
AT some places they found shelter at
the houses of Indians. But, $40. the
poor Indian with untutored mind'' was
an agent of the United States Gov
eminent, with the incentive of six
dollars head for each Japanese carght
on the trail. The captives were sent
to San Francisco for deportation from
thence.
Before leaving Japan these people
sold all their property for money to
take them away. When they arrive at
Yokohama they will be penniless. They
paid something like $3.50 for passage
from Kobe to Santa Cruz ard railroad
fares thence to the points where they
obtained EMPLOYMENT.

DIEGO NEEDS A BANK.
Want of This Rapidly Grow

Otego, Neb., Feb. 4.-Some of the
most prosperous towns on the Rock Is
land railroad are in Jewell county.
diego is one of the small, yet wide
awake towns. Geo. w. Congleton who
has been a resident of the county for
SO years, has sort of kept diary of what
the country tributary to diego has been

the conclusion that as a general rule
when other sections have failed this
favored location has raised something.

1t wasn't intended for diego to ever
ask for the county seat, for her farmers
are too prosperous raising alfalfa, corn
and wheat, and cattle and hogs, to
bother about county seat. The town
company first suggested the name of
Eleon, but the postoffice department
objected on account of getting other
similar names confused. So Mrs. L. NJ

honor of the same name where her par

was adopted.

is a bank. With all of the stock and

city of Leavenworth to the suits
brought by c. c. Coleman, former at

contained charges of the -connivance of

tention that the suit ought not to

that since that time Leavenworth has
not connived at the violation of the
