The Hawaiian Japanese who protest
by cable to President Roosevelt that
the arrangement to exclude them from
the United States viii enslave them
permanently to Hawaiian capitalists =
take an extreme view of the effect of
exclusion upon their fortunes.
In 1900 the population of Hawaii was
154, ,001, according to the census taken in
japanese, s,79e Hawaiians, 2s,s19 Cau-
easians, a5,767 Chinese, 1857 part Ha-
waiians, AS South Sea Islanders, and
233 negroes. Between June 30, 1900, and
the end of December, 1905, 3s ,029 Japa-
nese arrived in the islands and 42,313
departed.
The native Hawaiians are rapidly dy-
ing out: in 1853 there were 70,036 of
them, and by 1900 there had been a
decline to 29,799. Only 1926 immi-
grants other than Asiatics arrived in
the islands in the five years that fol-
lowed the taking of the census, and
of this number comparatively few were
Americans, Portuguese predominating.
Less than half the Japanese who left
the islands during that period went to
the United States; the destination of
the others was Japan, the Asiatic con-
tinent, South and Central America and
Mexico. Departures of all Asiatics for
the United States from January /,
1902, to December 81, 1905, were 90
Gal, and it may be assumed that the
majority of them were Japanese. There
was an exodus of these people to Japan
in 1904 to serve in the Mikado' g armies
in the war with Russia, and the pre-
sumption is that since the war Man
ehuria has attracted many of them.
Allowing for the drift east, west and
south which has gone on steadily, there
ID no doubt that Hawaii continues to
be Asiatic and that the influence OF
the japanese is paramount IN the ASIA
tic community This consists mainly
of laborers on the sugar plantations,
but there is plenty of skilled and even
some professional japanese labor IN
Hawaii SO that the sons OF Japan make
a deep impression upon life in the Is
lands. In economic legislation they
must be considered, and as the Terri
tory can not prosper without them,
since it's well being is largely dependent
upon the cultivation of sugar, they
have a good deal to say upon the ques-
tion of wages. Hitherto the planters
have been very much at their mercy;
that is to say, since the japanese have
become the chief labor factor in the
Territory, and while their exclusion

WOULD LANAI
PRODUCE S|SAL?

The Lanai Investigation Committee
held another meeting last night.
Mr. w. f. Brown was asked to
testify. He said he was one of the
appraisers designated by Mr.. Pratt TO
value certain pieces of property in Ho-
nolulu. He had received no suggestion
from Mr. Pratt as to the purpose for
which these valuations were made.
The appraisers work was carefully
done; the valuations made were the
fair market value of the property in
volved. The appraisements were not
reported to Mr.. Pratt until after the
land deal had been made. To Mr..
Browns knowledge no advance infor-
nation as to values had been furnish
ed the Public Lands Office. Mr.. Brown
was excused.
Mr.. r. II. Trent was then called. His
testimony was similar to that Of Mr..
Brown. He was also excused.

an advance of 10 per cent. for field

in 1903, with the japanese Consul Gen.

Corner Stone LAYING.

The corner stone of the new Metho-
dist church was laid with appropriate
ceremonies last Sunday afternoon. The
program for the occasion began with a
Brotherhood of st. Paul banquet Satur-
day evening. The Presiding Elder of
the Pueblo District, DIR. r. A. Chase of
Colorado Springs, preached for the con-
gregation at the court house Sunday
morning at the regular hour of service
and the corner stone services were held
at the Presby terrain church at 2:30 In
the afternoon. The services were open
ed by the invocation by Rev. ID. b.
Livingstone OF the Baptist church which
was followed by the singing of the Cor
ner Stone hymn No. Co. by the congre-
CATION. Rev McCloud of the Westmin-
lister Presbyterian church of Pueblo Of
Tered prayer. An appropriate and en-
couraging address was then given by
DIR. j. G. Horn, former pastor of the
church, in which he recounted some of
the difficulties and struggles of the earl
Ter days Of the church and spoke of tho
cause for rejoicing in the successes of the
present and the prospects of the future.
DR.. Chase then gave in his characteristic
way, an inspiring and eloquent sermon
of the text, sand there Abram builded
an altar unto the Lord" The sermon
WIS peculiarly appropriate to the occa-
sion and was delivered with great force
and power and was greatly appreciated
by all who heard it.
After the conclusion of the sermon the
congregation adjourned to the site Of
the new church where DIR. Chase. assist
cd by Revs. Horn and Livingstone and
the pastor, laid the corner stone accord
ing to the full ritualistic ceremony OF
the church. The box which was placed

deed Juarez fled. Ben Morris, the vigi-
liant deputy sheriff at Holly picked him
UP. Under Sheriff Fred Lynch, accom-
panied by Nestor Ocheo, d prominent
Mexican contractor, went to Holly,
identified Juarez, and brought him to
Lamar. Complaint has been filed
against him charging him with mayhem
and will be tried some time this week
before Justice Deeter.
Work is gradually being closed up at
the factory and many Of the men are
now being dropped, but quite force is
still at work cleaning up. During the
run 6l,43O tons of beets were sliced,
which represented sum of over $780,
900 to our farmers. This large amount
of money distributed in cash on month
ly pay days represents the best money
making crop of any that the farmers
can handle. In addition to this large
payments are made twice month for
labor at the factory and this money
promptly goes into circulation. Taking
it altogether there is no other industry
that can be secured by a farming COM
munity that will be equal benefit as a
sugar factory, and we are glad to learn
that the company has enjoyed pros
porous season also. The acreage al
ready assured for next season will force
the charging OF the capacity Of the
factory.
