DECLARES EAST INDIANS ARE NO,
MENACE TO AMERICAN W0RkMEN

Persistent reports and complaints
indicate that Vancouver and British
Columbia points north of here are
being overrun with East Indians
They cannot be shut out legally, as
they are British subjects, yet their
presence is declared to be a
menace to white laboring interests.
In their own land they are accus-
toned to working for 10 cents per
day.
1t is also reported that they are
spreading down into Washington in
the Sound counties bordering on
the line and may become as much
of an issue as the Chinese or Japs
, in a few years.
This is the view taken by Ameri-
cans and British Columbia labor in
terests are protesting loudly against
the peculiar foreigners pouring in
from the land that England has
spent millions of dollars and lost
thousands of men to subjugate.
The East Indians side of the
movement is presented by Saint N.
| Sing, a talented East Indian jour-
nalist. In writing on the subject
for this newspaper he argues that
less than $500 natives have mi
grated eastward and form no men
ace to American labor. Sing says:
"The average workingman in
British Columbia has been duped
| by wrong statements and led to
oppose people who not only belong
to the same race, but are of the
same origin. If the laborites in
America claim to be consistent,
their attitude towards the India i'm
migrants ought to be character
lied with sympathy and not malice.

The passes I've had on the D. &

Oh. beautiful passes! oh, dear rail

Which noble officials once issued
to me!
Those small strips of paper l al

Although no conductor may honor
them now;
All! once they were sources of ex-
quisite pleasure,
And still they send happy thrills
through me, somehow.
I've ridden on passes from ocean to

Alas! why did Hepburn conceive
the wild notion
OF taking my dear railroad pass
es from me?
Oh, beautiful passes, oh, glorious

The passes that brought so much

They tell me it's useless to hope

That ways may be found for evad-

WOMAN'S idea OF
silent PEOPLE
BY ELLA X. DEARBORN

Instinctively one distrusts silent
person, and this is well, for there Is
| no possibility Of understanding
them. and 1t is doubtful il they I'M
derstand themselves.
Their silence leads you to wrong
conclusions. They know this, but
are too clam-like to say a word that
will set you straight, even though
they are the ones to be injured by
an error in your Judgment.
You struggle to interpret their
silence Alright. 1t may be shyness
though not likely. 1t may be sull-
enness-but what about?
If you have deluded yourself with
the idea that there is a warm heart
under the icy exterior and teem-
ing brain yelled by silence, away
with the delusion, for a warm heart
will make itself manifest, and the
active brain will not be bound by
silence.
Thoughts find their way into
words just as surely as the river
finds the ocean.
No matter how great a sacrifice
you may make in order to do an
act of kindness to a silent man OF
woman. a distressful stare is the
token of acceptance, and you do not
know whether the silent one Is
struggling to express thanks or is
trying not to kill you for your Of
ficiousness.
These people have not stamina
enough to be either very good or
very bad.
They are unreliable in a business
way and socially they are bores and
nuisances, and the wife of silent
man is always unhappy; all efforts
to please him are met with that i'm
penetrable silence that hurts worse
than blow, and yet, since he has
not beaten his wife with his fists
or club, he would clai INTO be
kind
Speech Is natures special gift to
nan. all other faculties are shared
IN common with lower animals; to
mankind alone Is given the power
of clothing thoughts in words.
Silence but thinly wells ones lack
of thought.
Beware Of the silent person!

ooh, Laura! don't be cruel. Stay

Laura drew long breath and
rose to go home. Frank was wise
enough to say nothing further on
the subject on the way, and as he
was not invited in, he left her with
a calm goodbye at the gate.
After a weeks waiting, Frank
contrived to see the girl and asked
her:
"Have you found out yet whether
you love me?"

Charles MADEIRA this morning as she
.leyelled. a gun at Councilman A.. c.

the plckets OF a line fence between
his property and that owned by Mrs.
MADEIRA on Beverly avenue.
( When this warning was uttered Mfr.
Price, who had stepped forward to
grasp one Of the paling, backed away
dnd left Mrs. MADEIRA in possession Of
the fence. AS the fence had to come
down to make way for building
which Mr.. Price is erecting on his
property the councilman boarded a
street car and came to the Office OF
Justice S. A. Barker to enlist the aid
Of the law In his behalf.
He explained to the justice that the
fence had been constructed with the
posts on Mrs. Ma,lera's property and
the palings on his property. When he
planned the building, the foundations
Of which are already in place, the
southern wall was set exactly at the
property line. AS a result the palings
we're in the way and Mr.. Price had
ordered his workmen to tear them of
when Mrs. MADEIRA registered her Wig
orous protest. He said that he tried
to argue with Mrs. MADEIRA, but that
she refused to discuss the merits Of
the situation.
AS building operations were delayed
by Mrs. Madera's actions. Mr.. Price
was forced to appeal to the law. He
swore out a peace warrant, alleging
that Mrs. MADEIRA had threatened him
and that he was afraid she would do
him some harm. The warrant was
served on Mrs. MADEIRA who appeared
Mt the Justices Office and gave bond
for her appearance before Justice Bar.

Some other towns have fragments Of
their walls left. bnt Chester's wall Is
still complete. The wall is two miles
in length, enclosing the old aptr OF the
town. varying from six to eight feet
thick. At the top. on the inside is u
walk-way, while on the outside Is a
battlement. Some of the original
towers OF the wall which were built
for protection are still standing. The
wall was built about the 18th or 1lth
century.
The hotels are different from Amer,-
can hotels in that they are managed
and controlled mostly by women. The
clerks also are mainly women. OF
course some men are about. but they
are there seemingly to obey the com.
mands OF their sHperiors. Everything
Is nice at the hotels from the stand
point Of the keeper. but sometimes
conditions are not exactly consistent
with sayings. At our hotel We went
into the lobby. and 1t was grand, plate
glass mirrors, etc, but when we got
to orr rooms We found mirrors about
one foot square.
In inQnirlng for the price of accom-
violations at hotels, be very definite,
or the extras will double the expense.
At the Chester hotel our bill was al
most double what We expected IL to
be. As we were leaving man In
uniform desired to carry our luggage.
AS we were going but block we said
We could carry 1t. He insisted and
said that he was there for that pur-
pose, and that he was entitled" to
carry it. or course upon reaching our
destination he was "entitled' to re.
celve the six pence.
Another Of the peculiarities of Ches.
ter is the rows. This will perhaps
need some explanation. Beginning at
any corner in Fairmont, say, for in,
stance. the Christie drug store corner,
and going the whole length OF the
square, the front Of the second story
OF all the houses will be left open
like porch, all connected. II the

floors are not on the same level. steps
are provided FOR the expediency Of the
shoppers who walk along the rows
This feature Is carried out for several
blocks and Is very convenient for shop
.pers in bad weather. It's origin Is not
known.
English. railroads differ very much
from ours. The cars are different, be-
ing divided into compartments. The

A well known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the following valuable. yet
simple and harmless. prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparllla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well In bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip.
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be.
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm.
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken regu-
larry for n few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, II any, dimin.
ishes with each dose. until permanent
results are obtained. and without In
iuring the stomach. While there are
many so.called Rheumatism remedies,

do give relief, few really give nerma-
nent results. and tho above will, no
