| Washington, Oct. 9.-Immigration
Of Japanese into America is increas-
ing at so alarming rate that it has
been determined to adopt extraordin-
airy measures to prevent the introduc-
ton into the United States not only
Of Japanese, but Of other Asiatic
coolie labor. One result of the trip
of Secretary Strass has. been an in
crease in the force of immigration in
with view to controlling the food
of Asiatic immigration. 1t is 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 across from the Canadian
and Mexican borders principally with
out hindrance, despite the means
adopted by the government to pre-
vent the Introduction of Japanese
laborers.
Bound for United States.
For many months the government
has had immigration commissioners in
Mexico and Canada. In practically
every instance the inspectors have
reported that the Japanese who reach
Mexico or Canada are bound for the
United States.
Inquiries in the Hawaiian islands
have revealed organizations whose
business is to procure Japanese Ia
borers to work in the United States.
They not only provide the means, but
pave the way by which Japanese may
easily obtain entrance to this country
through Mexico and Canada.
1t is this sort of position that the
government proposes to combat. In
the appointment of what practically
constitutes a patrol guard of the
northern and southern borders Of the
country, Secretary Straus hopes to re-
cuce the number of Asiatics who daily
are coming across the borders in
great and increasing numbers
Returns from the Canadian immigra-
ton Offices show that 1886 Asiatics
landed at the British Columbia ports
of Victoria and Vancouver between
January 1 and September IS. 1907 OF
this number 1872 were Hindus, 4S11
were Japanese, most of the latter
reaching Canada from Honolulu. The
remainder were Chinese, who paid ad-
mission fees of 500 for the privilege
Of landing in Canada. The field OF la
Dor in that section of Canada is limit
ed, and the immigration inspectors
have shown that most of the Japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get
into the United States.

CANADA IS OPPOSED
TO HAVING SO MANY JAPS
/ FLOCK IN there.
Such Is the Report Of Prominent
Frenchman who Is Making Study
of American Social and Economic
condItions-He Praises the People
of the Northwest.

Chicago, Oct. S.-Abbe Felix Kline,
a prominent member of the clerical
element in France, who is making a
study of American social and Eco
nomic conditions, has returned from
an extensive tour of the west, Able
Kline said:
Il was much impressed while on the
Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese
feeling existing at Vancouver and
throughout British Columbia, which is
far more intense than the feeling on
the American side of the border. At
San Francisco the anti-Japanese ele-
ment is comparatively small and one
hears little of the active agitation
against the Japanese.
ION the other hand, 1 visited Van
couver shortly after the anti-Japanese
riots, meeting the Japanese quarters.
Everywhere there was evidence of hos
tile intention. The people have taken
up the shibboleth of Canada for the
Canadians and they feel that the
exclusion of the yellow race is essen
tial for their representation. They
are very determined in this feeling,
and are pressing their view on the
civil authorities at Ottawa and Lon
don.
Dissipates Fear of War.
Before coming to America shared
the views of a considerable element in
France and throughout Europe that
the Japanese question might lead the
United States into war But personal
observation throughout the middle
west and far west has completely
changed my views. The people OF the
west are not thinking of such thing
and scout the very idea of war. Even
in San Francisco, which is supposed
in Europe to be the center Of anti
Japanese hostility, there was much
less telling than 1 found to exist in
the British colonies to the north. 1t is
quite evident. also, in Witnessing the
splendid development of the Pacific
coast that a war would be little short
of criminal, alike disastrous to Japan
and the United States, neither of whom
has anything to gain by such a re-
course to barbarism
More Acute in Canada.
This branch of the Japanese ques-
ton is really Of much Importance to
the United States, as Japan can hardly
expect more from the United States
than she expects Of Canada, where
the situation to the Japanese is far
more acute"
Speaking Of the people in the west,
Able Kline says that he was struck
by the fact that they look upon the
east as sort of foreign country, much
as the people of the Atlantic states
look upon Europe. They are making
great strides forward, principally the
region about Puget sound, which, in
Hay, loose-Timothy, up to $25
the Judgment of this foreign observer,
is to be the field of Americas greatest
future development.

GRANDSON OF GEN. GRANT
TO WE'D SOCIETY GIRL

THE most noted society event in
i Washington in many a year will
be the wedding of Miss Helen Dent
Wrenshall, a pretty and talented
Washington girl, to Chaffee Grant, of
San Diego, Cab, Il grandson of the late
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, which will be a
function of the early June. While the
blood of the greatest general America
has produced courses through the

fred the Great.
Miss Wrenshall is the daughter of
the late Edward W~renshall, a promin-

talented musician. The love affair is
touched with omance and dates back
to the time when both were mere chill

THREE DISHES OF CHICKEN.
All Good, and Among Them the Old
Fashioned Stew.

of seasoned chicken in flour, put in
iron frying pan and cover with elots
of butter and one pint of milk. Cover
tightly with weights on lid and bake

HANDKERCHIEF NOVELTIES.
Novel Designs Complementing the
Seasons Dress Fabrics.

The subject of handkerchiefs Is an
unusually interesting n this season.
Here, as in every other accessory of
woman's costuming, novelty presents
itself in the most fascinating guises.
1t is the colored handkerchief,
strange as it may seem, which claims
first place; and this too, with the
against the handkerchief carrying
even the slightest suggestion of color
has been entirely forgotten, and by
those, too, whose exclusive tastes per
mitted in the old days the selection
of only the neatest hemstitched and
most unobstrusive embroidered pun e
white affairs.
These new affairs are absolutely ir-
resistible in their dainty colorings and
designs. The linen IS of the finest,
Japanese tendency which dominates
the costume world is traceable in
many of the best designs.
The majority of these handkerchief
novelties have a narrow cOlOred hem
in pink, blue, green or yellow, in the
palest tint. Some show border eff
fects in cOnYentionized flower de
signs, the Hover centSrs a bit Of deli
cate hand embroidery executed in
finest cotton or linen threads. Clus-
ters Of tiny diamonds, ~pOlka-GOts and
squares in one or two colorS alternate
inside of the colored hem, with en-
brOidery dots usually in white, though
sometimes in color. Then there are
the plaid handkerchiefs, with and
without a plain-colored hem. These
are more often in two-tone effects, and
show a bit of fine handwOrk in ii cor
ner design in the form of a tiny flower
spray in the place of the initial.
Initial handkerchiefs, by the way,
are still good style, but they come
only in the plain whites, and Lot in
novelty colored affairs.
Some very pretty patterns show the
colored printings in corner and border
designs, embroidered over with tiny
dots, and naturally the more en-
broidery these handkerchiefs carry
the higher they are marked in price.
Another novelty shown among the
most exclusive patterns has the dainti-
est finish imaginable in the form of a
very narrow lace edge, handmade
lace, by the way. These, of course,
are more or less expensive, but the
clever and ingenious girl NAV buy
the plain handkerchiefS and set on the
lace herself with very gratifying re-
suits, both as to effect and price.
Polka-dots are well represented,
doubtless because of the prominence
given this design in dress fabrics this
season.
Checks also are not without favor,
so the summer girl will find little diff
fculty in matching her dainty frocks
with handkerchiefs, complementing
them in both color and design.

Care of the Asparagus Bed After Cut.
tinC.


Cutting OF the asparagus shoots
should not be done after the middle
# June in the Dorthern states and
should cease a little earlier in states
of more southern latitude.
At this time the whole bed, rows
and all, should be thoroughly cult
waited fully three inches deep. Pre-
yious to this the application of barn
yard manure is advocated by some
growers, but some of our most noted
experiment stations and most extern
sive growers Of the product near New
York city and Philadelphia strongly
recommend the application Of com.
plete commercial fertilizers instead,
with summer applications Of nitrate
of soda. 160 lbs. per acre of this lat
ter is sufficient and should be applied
twice during the growing months.
1t is claimed hat manure contains1
the seeds of noxious weeds which ma
ture and scatter before the aspara-
gus tops are matured sufficiently for
moving.
AS the asparagus crop is gathered
from the early shoots and these are
removed continuously for about two
months, therefore the roots are very
much reduced il vitality when the cut
ting season is over, and unless plant
foods, which are directly available are
supplied, there will be a poor growth
of top. If the tops grow rapidly and
strong, they aid in storing up food
In their roots.

needs of asparagus contains

Actual Potash .........1 1919
One-ha)f ton of this to the acre is
not too much, either applied broad.
cast or along the rows, before the cul.
tivating is done.
Both nitrogen and potash in con-
siderable amounts are necessary, or
the shoots will lack both fine flavor
and crispness. E. A. SEASON.
