CAUSE TO WORRY.
Vast Numbers Of Japanese Pouring
Across Canadian Line.


Across Canadian Line.
Washington, Oct. Standardization
of Japanese into America il increasin
At 70 alarming rate that it has beer
determined to adopt extraordinary
measures to prevent the introduction
into the United States not only of Jap
anese, but Of other Asiatic coolie labor
Ono result Of the trip OF Secretary
6traus has been to increase the force Of
immigration inspectors along the Cana
dian border, with view to controlling
the food OF Asiatic immigra lion.
1t IL known that more than double
the number Of japanese have come into
the United states thus far in the year
1907 than came here during the same
period last year. Naturally, the figures
Of the government do not include the
hundreds Of Japanese who have come
into the country surreptitiously. They
have come scross from the Canadian
and Mexican borders, principally with
out hindrance,e despite the means
adopted by the government 10 prevent
the introduction Of Japanese laborers.
For many months the government
has had immigration commissioner In
Mexico and Canada. In practically
every instance, the inspectors have re-
ported that tsS Jar.1ez1 who reach
Canada or Mexico are bound for the
United States. Inquiries In the Ha-
waIinn islands have revealed orpanixa-
tions whose business IT Is to procure
Japanese lAborers to work In the Unit
ed States. They not only provide the
means, but pave the way by which
japanese may easily obtain entrance 10
this country through Mexico and Can
ada.
1t Is this sort Of position that the
government proposes to combat. In
The appointment Of what principally
patrol guard Of the North
srn and Southern borders OF the coun-
Try, Secretary strsus hopes to reduce
The number Of Aslstics who daily are
coming across the borders In great and
Increasing numbers.
Returns from the Canadian immIgra-
lion offices show that $3.50 Asiatics
anded ut the Britieh Columbia ports OF
Victoria and Vancouver between Janu- |
Try ! and September Is, 1907. OF this |
lumber 2,s72 were Hindus and 4sil |
Japanese, most OF the latter reaching
canada from Honolulu. The remain
ng were Chinese, who paid admission
ees OF 900 for the privilege of landing
n Canada. The field Of labor In that
ection OF Canada Is limited, and the
Investigations Of the United States I'M
Migration inspectors have shown that
most CT the Japanese and Chinese ex-
'ect ultimately to get into the United
Itates.

Primary Law Invalid.

Springfield, H., Oct. 4.-The new
primary law passed at the special ses.
sion OF the legislature in 1905 was de.
clared unconstitutional today by the
Supreme court, which reversed the
lower courts decision and remands the
case. The court left nothing Of the act
upon which new law can be construct
ed. The court holds that the law yio-
lates the constitution because It speci-
nes more than the title. 1t says the
title does not confne the operation Of
the act to the actions of political par.

Boise--Another scandal In connec
tion with bills OF the Pinkerton Ma
tional Detective agency for services in
connection with the Haywood trial de.
veloped few days ago when the fact
was published that, In addition to bills
paid by the state, James Mcfarland,
chief OF the Pinkertons In the case, was
paid witness fees and mileage by Can
yon county, although he never took the
witness stand.
The records show that on July Is his
bill against Canyon county, allowed
and paid, was as follows: Witness
fees, ~ days at 81 per day, $144; 500
miles, at 20 cents, 1926; total, $269.
The record shows that during the same
period bills OF Mcfarland paid by the
state, including wages, railway fare, in
cidentals, Pullman fare, board and
room, In all amounted to 81, 700 80.

duced the bill at the last session, but
1t died with the unpassed measures.
The measure seeks to establish courts
to consider all controversies between
parties concerning public lands and be-
tween parties and the government.
These matters are now determined by
department clerks and bureau chiefs
and the system is not in keeping with
the needs Of the people.
Aside from this l will press the
amendment once before offered ON
the abolishing OF the long and short

This was also up at the last session and

70 many other inland cities, you are
charged the rate to the coast, plus the
ocal fare back. Anyone can see the
Injustice Of that, and under this amend
nent you would only be charged the
criminal rate, putting you on an equal
ooting with the coast cities as dis
ributing point.

Payette-More money will he receiv-
ed in the Payette valley this fall than
was probably ever received during a
preceding fall. 1t will be we'll distrib-
uted among the orchardists, melon
growers, beet growers, farmers and
sheep men and will find its way into
general circulation. The gross returns,
according to estimates Of those most
closely in touch with the industries
which ale producing the wealth Of the
Payette valley, will amount to nearly
5000, 900 this fall. OF course this half
million dollars is not all profit, but a
large portion OF 1t will be dsbursed in
the Lower Payette valley.
1t is estimated, roughly, that the re-
turns from fruit will amount to $780,
600; beets, 5000, 900; melons, $40, 1000;
sheep, $125, 900; hay, $50, 900, making

Suspicious co%untryman Found Hi
Worst Fears Were Justified.

"a trust conference-any kind of a
conference, for that matter-is a good
thing" said Gov. Sheldon, of Nebras'
ka, IF it is conducted fairly.
ITO be unfair, to be prejudiced, to
be suspicious, is always to judge wrong
ly. The suspicious man; falls into
error and makes a fool of himself.
There was a very suspicious coun
tryman who went to New York to see
the sights. Coming to the Metropoli
tan Museum, he RAJ amazed to find
that the admission to this splendid
building cost nothing. He mounted
the steps and entered.
"'Your umbrella, SIR said the uni
formed official, extending his hand.
"The countryman jerked back his
umbrella, laughed scornfully anG
turned on his heel.
"I knowed there was some cheat
about it when We got in free he said
