immigration.
It 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
the figures OF the government do not
include the hundreds Of Japanese who
have come into the country surrepti-
tiously. They have come across from
the Canadian and Mexican borders
principally without hindrance, despite
the means adopted by the government
to prevent the introduction OF Japan
ese laborers.
For many months the government
has had immigration commissioners in
Mexico and Canada. In practically
every instance the inspectors have re-
ported that the Japanese who reach
Mexico or Canada are bound for the
United States. Inquiries in the Ha-
waiian islands have revealed organi-
cations, whose business 1t is to pro-
cure Japanese laborers to work in the
United States. They not only provide
the means but also pave the way by
which japanese may easily obtain an
entrance to this country through Mex
leo or Canada
1t is this sort of position that the
government proposes to combat In
the appointment OF what principally
constitutes patrol guard Of the north
ern and southern borders OF the coun
try, Secretary Straus hopes to reduce
the number OF Asiatics who daily are
coming across the borders in great
and increasing numbers.
Returns from the Canadian immi-
grafton Office show thaat s,2S6 Asiatics
landed at the British Columbia ports
OF Victoria and Vancouver between
January l and September IS, 1907.
OF this number 2S74 were Hindoos.
4s11 were japanese. most OF the latter
reaching Canada from Honolulu. The
remaining 603 were Chinese who paid
admission fees of 800 for the privi-
lege Of landing In Canada. The field
OF labor OF that section OF Canada is
limited, an dthe Investigations Of the
United States immigration inspectors
have shown that most OF the japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get

HARAHAN FAvORS THE
WATERWAY PROJECT

Chicago, Oct 4.-The management
of the Illinois Central railroad has
decided to throw its influence in favor
of q deep waterway from the great
lakes to the gulf. This became ap-
parent when J. T. Harahan, president
of the road, stated that he would go
to the deep waterway convention to
be held in Memphis today and would
there give an address strongly favor
ing the project.
In the past the general opinion Of
railway managers has been that water
ways injure the railroads by keeping
freight rates down. The attitude of
the Illinois Central management with
respect to the deep waterway project
Is that 1t will develop the south rapidly
and in the development Of the south
increased tonnage will be made for
the Illinois Central and the Yazoo and
Mississippi valley lines.
Unless something unforeseen inter-
venee," said Mr.. Harahan yesterday,
'T shall attend the deep waterways
convention and shall deliver a speech
in favor Of the project, telling Why I
think 1t will be an advantage from .

The railroads OF this country have
nothing to fear from the waterways.

taken idea that the Illinois Central
railroad would be injured by a navig-

BRANDS KfLLY'S

Here is some hot stuff sprung on
kelly's 100 yard Spokane record
by Myron w. Townsend, of the St.
Louis StarChronicle. Townsend is
As foolish in his patter as the aver
age eastern owl who attempts to
write about the western affairs.
He says:
Kelly refuses to meet other
first class men. He begs to be eX-
cused from meeting the eastern
and middle western champions on
the ground that he is too nervous
and high strung The fact of the
matter is that he has never beaten
a good man in his life and he is
AFRAID CT the issue.
If Kelly is the champion his
friends claim he is he will compete
at the jamestown exposition. The
talk that he is too. frail to stand
travel is too thin for sportsmen to
swallow
There is no dscounting the fact
that Kelly is a high class athlete,
but the idea that, without further
proof, he is 9 SO second man is
preposterous. The Portland athlete
is accredited of equaling Wefei's
record of q is seconds around a

Owing to delayed trains the RED
Feather" company billed for to-
night and tomorrow evening, will
be unable to reach here today. The
engagement has been shifted to
Sunday and Monday evenings.
The play is a reversion to
straight comic opera. The music
is by Reginald DeKoven, and the
score by Charles Klein. The story
is said to be interesting and the
plot more easily followed than has
been the case with many comic op-
eras. There are at least score Of
musical numbers, many of them up
to the very best work DeKoven has
done. Miss Charidah Simpson, the
prima donna, is called one of the
beautiful women of the American
stage. She has a fine voice and is
a clever actress. In the company,
which is probably the largest that
will visit Spokane this season in
comic opera, are a number of well
known people. A feature of the en-
gagement will be the augmented or
chestra, the regular orchestra of
the theater combined with that car
ried by the company.
