THE ORIENTAL BLIGHT.
BanefuI Effects OF Japanese Labor on
California Fruit Industry.

O5itTofnta Fruit INDUSTRY.
Baneful effects of japanese labor in
the fruit growing districts of California
were illustrated by the facts set forth
in the Bees news service from Win
tiers, Yolo county, d few days ago. Jap
anese are the chief reliance of the Or
chardists of that locality for picking
and packing their crops. Many say
they would prefer white labor, but can
not get it when it is most needed, so
are obliged to employ Asiatics
1t appears that one of the large
growers had an offer of 81 900 recently
from a Japanese buyer for his whole
crop, but was unwilling to sell it for
less than $4,000, which he considered
no more than reasonable. On the day
following the owners final rejection of
the offer his crew of Japanese pickers
demanded an increase of pay from
Sf.25 to $3.50 a day, which he was
obliged to grant, being at their mercy.
The circumstances all Indicated that
the pickers were in league with the
Japanese buyer to force acceptance of
his offer And in a number of in
stances it is related that the Japanese
have actually refused to pick the fruit
unless their offers of purchase were
taken. A general demand for more
wages is expected from the hundreds
of Japanese in the Winters district in
consequence of the increase the or
chardist above referred to was obliged
to grant.
Like tactics were pursued in the
Florin berry and grape district of Sac
ramento county by the Japanese to
enable them to become masters Of the
situation there. They were first en-
ployed in small numbers to pick ber-
ries and grapes because Of the cheap
ness of their labor, but as the white
growers became more and more de-
pendent on the Japanese the latter
saw their opportunity and insisted on
more pay. Eventually they combined
to force owners to lease berry patches
and vineyards through control of the
labor market and by demanding ex-
cessive wages.
The result is that in a district once
occupied exclusively by white fam
lilies, each tilling a we'll kept property
of from five to twenty acres, the Jap
anese now dominate, growing and
shipping nearly all the berries, to the
number of hundreds Of carloads year.
ly, and also q large proportion Of
grapes. Most Of the neatly kept homes
have given place to Japanese shacks,
with no regard for appearances, and
the district, as a whole, has suffered
greatly from the blight Of the orientals.
1t would be much better for Sacra-
mento county to grow fewer grapes
and berries and be all white than
Japanned in spots, as now. Better one
self supporting American home than
a hundred Asiatic shacks.-Sacramen

THE GREAT STATE FAIR
WiseOnsin's Annual Agricultural Ex-
hibit at Milwaukee, Sept to 10.

The Wisconsin State Fair, the great
est Of all great State Fairs, will be held
at Milwaukee September 8 to Is, open
ing on Monday and closing Friday.
Wisconsin people have a wonderful
treat in store for them at the fair this
year. They will be amazed at the i'm
prOvementS add additions that have
been made on the grounds since the
last fair. Among the buildings that
will attract attention is the new cattle
barn which will be the largest and
finest on any fair grounds in the
United States. 1t will permit the
housing Of all cattle exhibits under
one roof and afford the best possible
opportunity for visitorsl to examine
the stock.
The premiums offered this year
show great advance over former
years. For the products Of the farm a
total of S29 800 is offered and for
speed events, for which the Wiscon-
sin State Fair is becoming SO famous,
prizes aggregating $27, 800 are offered.
Every department. promises to be full
almost to overlooking and additional
buildings have been erected to &C
commodate the exhibitors who come
from all parts of the state.
In connection with the fair there
has been providing great variety Of
entertainment features for each after
noon and evening. The evening show
at the fair has come to be one of the
distinct features Of the great annual
exhibit and the State Board has this
year contracted for mammoth
spectacular REIMBURSEMENT, entitled
"The Siege Of Moscow" which will ex-
ceed anything ever before attempted
at the State Fair. The presentation
of this spectacle involves the employ
ment of some two hundred people, the
erection of large amount of stage
setting and the discharge of thousands
of dollars worth of fireworks each
evening.
There will be an,abundance of music;
more than sixteen bandsI from differ
ent cities il the state ihave been en-
gagged for the week of the fair. Each
afternoon a varied program of vaude-
vile events willsbe given sbefore the
grandstand between thel.racing heats
which promise splendid entertain
ment. These vaudeville. acts will be
repeated at the evening show.
The Wisconsin State fFair is the
great event of the year for the entire
commonwealth OF Wisconsin and
should be attended by the greatest
number of people possible from all
sections Of the state, particularly the
farming communities, as the Fair is
the annual exhibit Of their efforts or
the farm and displays all their output
of the cereals, fruits, vegeta bles, cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep, the sdairy, cheese
factories and every product identified
with agriculture.

RoiIermakers Alter Laws.

The United Boilermakers and Iron
Shipbuilders' union met recently in an
nual convention in Boston at which
some important changes were made in
the laws. One new feature was the
establishment Of an organization

an examining board. Action was taken
respecting the handling Of contrOver-
sizes, especially the difficulties now con
fronting the union in New England.

Laws Will Make Thirty-six Pages.

The copy" laws spassed by the
legislature OF 1902, which Las just
adjourned, will make the largest
Law Supplement ever issued by the
newspapers of Wisconsin. The sup
plement Of this year will also be an
improvement upon all other issues,
in that the chapter headings will be
in full faced type. This was done
in response to the wishes of those
who favored the Hudnall bill to
print the laws in pamphlet form,
and who threatened to repeal the
law and deprive thel-publishers of
che state ofsthe business if some
thing was not done to make the
law supplements more useful.
Another feature will be q compre-
hensive index, which has been espec-
tally prepared Sfor the issue, and
which will occupy the entire first
page of the supplement-.
The supplements will be made so
perfect that there will be no further
ground for agitation in favor of dis
continuing the publication Of the
state laws in supplement form.
The amount Of white paper re-
CURED for the supplements will be
enormous. The laws will be pub
lished by the HERALD IN our Satur-
day edition, tho great number re-
quired nectssitating q delay.

Alex Hamilton, a prominent
farmer and deacon in the church at
Arena, Wis, pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling and delivering
adulterated milk at Dodgeville Sat
urday. The case was before Justice
Of Peace L. Hane. and the charge
was made by Mr.. Fred Marty, State
Dairy and Food Inspector Of Monroe.
The offense was that Hamilton re-
moved part of the cream from his
milk before delivering it to the
Hydes Mill Cheese Co. and he had
been suspected for some four months
by the company. Marty in making
the test found his night milk tested
4. 30 per cent. butter fat, while the
morning milk tested only 2.70 per
cent butter fat. It was his habit to
let the milk stand over night in his
well made cooling tanks and in the
morning remove all the cream pos
sible by hand from which he made
butter that was sold II Arena.
Hamilton stood high in church and
social circles and was trusted SO i'm

ed him to deliver his milk only once

charge he attempted to show such a

WILL REVOKE CERTIFICATE
Government Helps Chicago to Pre-
vent Operation of Big Syndi-
cate of Gamblers.

WASHINGTON, July s.-By the revoca-
ton of the passenger certificate OF the
steamboat City of Traverse the govern
ment today dealt a heavy blow to the al
legged gambling syndicate of the city of
Chicago.
The City of Traverse leaves Chicago each
day and anchors IN Lake Michigan near
the lines Of intersection of the states of
Indiana and Michigan. and It is said con-
ducts there gambling operations InfoTma-
tion concerning the results at the various
race tracks OF the country are received by
wireless telegraph and the steamboat, Il
is further alleged, is operated as a float
ing pool room.
The authorities Of Chicago have endeav-
ored TO suppress the evil but their efforts
have been futile. Finally Mayor Busse
appealed TO the government authorities to
take steps which would put an end to the
operations of the steamer. Today Acting
Secretary Murray OF the Department of
Commerce and Labor Instructed Collecor
of Customs Ames at Chicago that II the
facts were as represented he should can
Gel the vessels license AZ once.
This involves the cancellation of tho
steamers passenger certificate as we'll,
This action Is taken under the authority OF
the revised statutes Of the United States,
which especially provides that a license
granted to any vessel shah not be eonsid-
cred In force any longer than the vessel is
engaged in the employment for which she
was specifically licensed.

were lost Saturday afternoon when the
Hudson bay steamer Mount Royal was
wrecked on the rocks in Kitselas canon
on Skeena river. sinking in less than FIVE
minutes afterwards. Many OF the ifty-five
excited passengers jumped into the raging
canon waters. but few we're drowned. most
of the people saving themselves by Chamber
ing on the rocks OF Rinsbolt island.
The steamer was below Hazslton when
the accident happened. passing through a
narrow canon which can be run only at
certain stages OF water, where the strong
current carries river boats three-quRrters
Of a mile in a minute and a half. The
port quarter crashed against tho rocky
wall and the stern swung around and was
battered against the opposite wall. for the
boat was longer than the canon iH wide.
The big vessel hesled over with the weight
OF water and sank rapidly. Some OF the
passengers Jumped from the boat TO the
island. others took to the water and others
hoated through the canon on debris and
were picked up by Indians in canoes The

NO DEAL MADE WITH MEXICO
Stories About Purchase of Lower
California Not Based Upon
Fact.

WASHINGTON. July s.-The Mexican
ambassador, through Mr.. Landa, secretary
in charge of the Office at Washington, to-
day said:
There is not one word Of truth in the
statement published by the press about
negotiations between Mexico and the
United States for the sale of MaTdellena
bay and lower California. The subject has
never been mentioned by the state part
ment to the Mexican ambassador and be.
sides there Is not one inch of Mexican terri.
tory that could be purchased at any price
under any consideration.
The state department officials strongly
deprecate what they describe as the periodic
revival of these stories about the acquisl-
ton Of Mexican territory, because their
publication is invariably followed by an
outburst Of irritation and suspicion in
Mexico that requires the best efforts OF
American diplomacy to subdue.
II is said that Magdallena bay is totally
unsuitable for a naval station. It has been
customary when the Pacific squadron re-
paired there senli-annually. to send a col
ler with the ships TO keep them in coal
To relieve the navy of this trouble It Is
now proposed to anchor hulk in Magdal-
lena bay which can be kept filled with coal
by some contractor from his coast schoon-
ers and thus serve as a base for the sup
ply for the American shipping when they
enter the bay for long target practice.
Several months ago permission was sought
thus to station the coal hulk and the Mex
lean government very freely consented.
