FAKE Citizens"
Some years ago we used to have a
great many cases of fake citizens.
We have no jurisdiction over United
States citizen, and we have to be very
careful how We treat them. 1t got to
be quite common therefore for immi-
grants already resident here to take
out citizen papers and ship them to
friends at home for their use in pass
ing us. But when several cases had
been detected and the parties severe
ly prosecuted, the thing dropped off,
and we have less of 1t now.
Some of the immigrants. of course,
are hopelessly ignorant Many of them
have the handicap of fear and reti-
cence. They have been thoroughly
coached by letter by friends here, and
they will stick to the set of rules and
regulations prescribed, whether they
apply or not. You can never get them
to admit anything. and oftentimes the
developments are high and Iudicrous.
They will never tell you anything that
will help themselves and you. to
hasten the examination. With them,
there are only two classes of disease.

Boston.-When Uncle Sam learns
that a fresh batch of would-be citizens
are headed for Boston from foreign
shores, he sends DR.. NJ. Y. Stafford and
DR.. Hugo B. c. Reimer down to meet
them when they arrive.
The two physicians are keen men
of long experience. They can spot
disease symptoms at a glance. When
an army of immigrants march on the
United States through this port, they
weed them out with the most minute
care. In matters of means, ability to
be self-supporting and business inten-
tions, the immigrants must satisfy
other agents of Uncle Sam. But first
and foremost they must run the gaunt-
let of the keen, unprejudiced eyes of
the two doctors.
DIR. Stafford and his assistant. DIR.
Reimer, pass on every one of the
thousands of immigrants that enter
strange experiences, they are ever the
objects of cunning subterfuge and
piteous supplication, and they make
few errors.
Word comes to the immigration Off
GERS at Long wharf that a great ship
with hundreds of immigrants on board
is due at quarantine at such-and-such
a time. The doctors know by the To-
cation of the port of embarkation
about what class of immigrant they
will have to deal with, and they pre-
pare for him.

greater proportion of detectives is to
be found in the second cabin than in
the steerage.
II the ship docks just before dusk
or very late in the afternoon, the ex-
animation is likely to be deferred I'M
til morning. In that event, there is
greater excitement on board than
ever. The immigrants, most of them
ignorant and illiterate, know only that
they have at last reached the prom
ised land. toward which they have
been journeying for days; they feel
only that the time has come for them
to meet their friends, to look into the
new world.
The delay chafes them. They crowd
and crush about the decks, quarrel
some and cantankerous. Few of them
sleep. They wait, sullen and silent,
through the long dark hours, their
eyes fastened on the roofs OF the low
sheds and the shadowy outlines of the
tall buildings of the water front They
chatter at times. Sometimes there is

ing the tax as it gives them a larger
field in which to sell their products.
But the distiller is not the only one
who profits. The farmer can sell
many products to the distiller for
the purpose of making alsohol. This
alsohol will be good for heating pur-
poses and excellent fuel for our en-
gines.
Is 1t any wonder that the Standard
Oil company and the wood products
companies worked against the pass
age of this bill before congress?
These companies tried to work up
the temperance people against this
movement of congress. They sent
out literature with the statement that
this condition Of affairs had played
havoc with temperance reform in Eu-
rope. This statement was investi-
gated and found to be absolutely
baseless.
Before the civil war we had free
alcohol and 1t was getting good
start in the commercial world, when
the war came, causing the tax to be
placed where it is.
1t will be some time yet before we
get the benefit from free alcohol.

are made for gasoline or coal oil.

Of us in this matter, as they have
used alcohol number of years. The
factories are beginning to make these
machines, but they are copies to a
large extent. In time we shall have
improvements of our own. Ameri-
cans are quick to do things and let
us not worry about our welfare in
this line. Let us rather be thank
full that free alcohol is here.

Yakima Fruit
To Golden State

One of the most remarkable things
that has happened in fruit circles the
past week Is the order recently re-
ceived by Hull, Hamlet G Co., COM
mission merchants, for 100 boxes
of apricots to be shipped to Califor-
mia. This is remarkable for the rea-
son that California has always been
considered the natural mother and
home of the apricot, but recent CON-
parsons with the Washington fruit
has satisfied the retailers Of Califor-
MIA that there is market for the
Washington product. On Friday
Jos. F. Pulls, the local representa-
tive, received a wire from the above
firm to procure all he could find of
the choicest apricots produced In
this section, and he did so. The
fruit this year is excellent in quality
and the size and color are such that
appeal to the shippers.
1t is the fancy article the Califor-
mans are after and they have found
that the Yakima district is the place
to get them. With the shipping OF
apples to Australia and the Orient
this winter things are looking good
for the grower in this valley.

MUCH SILVER
STARTS To
COME IN

Silver dollars are beginning to
come into the city each week. One
bank alone ships $1,000 in silver
each Monday from the mint at San
Francisco. During this time Of the
year nearly every bank ships a large
amount of silver from the various
minis. The Yakima Trust company
is receiving regular shipments OF
$1,000 per week. and other banks
are receiving about the same amount.
The First National bank will in a
short time ship about 100000 in sill
yer from the mint. w. L. Steinweg
of the First National bank states that
at the present time there is not a
very great demand for silver, but
there Is an immense demand for pa
per dollars. They will begin to ship
during the hop picking season.
