FLOOD OF ASIATIc LABoRERs
Immigration Bureau Takes steps to
Stop the Inflow Across the
Border.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.--Immigration OF
Japanese into America is increasing at
so alarming rate that IL has been de-
termined to adopt extraordinary measures
to prevent the Introduction into the United
states not only of japanese, but of all
Asiatic coolie laborers. One result Of
trip of Secretary Straus has been an in
crease in the force of immigration in
spectors along the Canadian border with
a view to controlling the mood OF Asiatici
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 surreptiously. They
have come across the Canadian and Mex
lean borders practically without him
drance, despite the regulations adopted
by the government to prevent the intro
duction of Japanese laborers. For many
months the government has had immi-
grafton inspectors in Mexico and Cam
ada. In practically every instance the
inspectors have reported that the Japa-
nese who reach Mexico or Canada are
bound for the United States. Inquiries
in the Hawaiian islands have revealed or
ganizations whose business 1t Is to pro-
cure Japanese laborers to work in the
United States. They not only provide the
means. but pave the way by which Japa-
nese may obtain entrance into this coun-
try through Canada and Mexico
II is this sort of proposition the gov
ernment proposes to combat In the ap-
pointment of what practically constitutes
patrol guard of the northern and south
ern borders of the country. Secretary
Straus hopes to reduce the number Of
Asiatics who daily are coming across The
borders in great and increasing num-
bers.
Returns from the Canadian immigration
office show that S,2s6 Asiatics were alnded
at the British Columbian ports of Vic
toria and Vancouver between January /
and September Is. 1907. OF this large
number 2,S72 were Hindus and 4,S11 were
japanese, most of the latter reaching
Canada from Honolulu. The remaining
sixty-three were Chinese. who paid an
admission fee of 500 for the privilege
of landing in Canada The field of lab Or
in that section of Canada is limited, and
the Investigations of the United States
immigration inspectors have shown that
most OF the japanese and Chinese expect
ultimately to get into the United States.

Loss by Prairie Fire Heavy.

HURON, S. ID. Oct. Especial -
Reports of losses from Friday afternoons
prairie fire are coming in. The FIRE, which
was started by passing locomotive on
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road. about two miles south of Bonilla,
burned over a vast area and scores of
farmers have lost ali their winter supply
of hay. much grain in stack and many
buildings. The wind was blowing
strongly and the fire Travelled very Jap
idly, 30 that It could not be checked
until It came within a very short dis
tance OF Valley Junction, four miles west
OF this city. on the Chicago & Northwest
ern line. Among the losers are commls-
sioner Borah, Messrs. McEwen. Tucker,
Morrissey and Bentley. In fact, the losses
cannot be estimated. as a large majority
OF farmers have large herds OF cattle
and there is no hay to be had in that
section OF the county for winter feed
Charles Peterson OF Huron. who was nut
ting up hay near the Sioux Valley juno
tion, was caught in the fire. He loosened
his team from the wagon and. mounting
one OF the horses. rode rapidly to a place
OF safety. His wagon and haying ma
chinery were burned.

A CHANCE WORTH TAKING.

tohers to Vinta Is the securing OF the removal
Of tile restrictions Senator Curtis OF Kansas
has introduced into congress a bill having this
object in view 1t provides for the removal OF
the restrictions from all save fullbloods and min

fullbloods surplus lands upon the approval Of
the secretary of the interior.
The bill of course, ought to pass The
chances, are, however, that il will not do 20.
Certainly it viii not unless every possible infu-
ence is brought to bear upon congress, Vinita
must do her share in this work. Vinita, like all
the other towns in the territory, has already
spent much money trying to persuade congress
to give us the rights which ought to be ours as
American citizens. and the present may seem
such slim chance as not worth bothering with.

were past.
