without herding together as do
the Chinese. Today the merchants
bitterly complain that the Jap has
become their very close competi-
tor. He also runs restaurants,
barbershops, billiard halls, sa-
looms, groceries, dry goods and
readymade clothing stores in the
city of Watsonvlle, and operates
buses and delivery wagons in the
adjacent territory.
One bank in Watsonville posi-
lively refuses TO open any account
with the Japanese because OF their
absolute dishonesty, the same
bank welcoming business from
the Chinese. The local post
master places the Jap in class
by himself. and will not cash his
money orders without other evil

order; and there is large post

crease, regardless of agreement.
Their work in the berry and beet
fields is all contract work on
shares. SO that their wages in this
particular neighborhood are diff
cult to place; but they seem to
fill gap in the Pajaro valley that
decidedly exists, and yet their
service is considered very unsat
istactory even by those who ad-
vocate their presence as being
the best labor obtainable under
existing conditions.
An investigation made at Vaca-
vile, in the centre of the Naca
valley, Solona county, shows that
the Japanese came into that
valley about fifteen years ago
and commenced working at very
low wages. Their numbers in

but almost entirely ran out the
Chinese. They cultivate indlffer-
emily, or for immediate results, to
the serious detriment of the prop
erty. Prior to the advent of the
Japanese the Vaca valley was re
nowned for ITS orchards, which
attracted wide attention, espcc-
tally on account of the superior
methods of pruning and cult,vat
ing. Today there can be no
boasting in this respect
It is generally conceded that
ninety per cent. of all the people
met walking or driving. on all OF
the country roads around Naca
vile are Japanese One of the
prominent truit growers and ship
pers of the valley estimates the
fruit orchards of Vaca valley and
adjoining hills at 5000 acres,
more than half of which are in
the hands oiJapanese lessees or
owners, principally leased.
Land values have shrunk one
third in the past fifteen years
The Japanese stores. OF which
there are six in Vacaville, are
doing more than fifty per cent. of
the general merchandise business
of the town and ninety per cent.
of the farm supply business. A
prominent Japanese merchant
estimates the Japanese population
employed in the valley last year
at 5000.
The report concerning the Jap
anese in Fresno is too lengthy for
quotation In and about Fresno
ii is estimated there are 5000 Jap
anese. The closing paragraphs
on this district read:
The Japanese save their money
to a great extent, but at least one
fourth of all the earnings OF the
5000 around Fresno is gambled
away in Chinese gambling houses.
Three hundred so ocalled Chinese
business houses deal principally
in lottery tickets. These Chinese
gambling houses at Fresno are all
over the Chinatown of that city.
In Fresno, as at other points, it
is generally conceded that the
Jap is merciless when he has his
employer at a disadvantage; that
he will work cheaply until all
competition is eliminated, and
then strike tor higher wages, to-
tally disregarding any agreement
or contract,
There is no place in the State
where the problem is so grave,
from the fact that the huge raisin
territory depends almost entirely
upon Orientals.
In conclusion the Commission
says: The general persistency
with which the Japanese are break.
ing into many industries, their
frugality, their ambition, and their
lack of business morality, render
them more formidable even than

On October |, 1904. there were
upwards of 10000 Japanese and in
the neighborhood of 10000 Chi
nese resident in our State. Since
that time all the passenger steam
ship lines running vessels to San
Francisco have reported monthly
the arrival and departure OF Chi
ncsc and Japanese. These reports
show in two years net increase
in Japanese of 1865 and net
decrease in Chinese of 7,74S. More
than four.fi fifths OF the Japanese
arrivals were from the Hawaiian
islands, and not included in the
report of foreign immigration.
The old men of the Chinese
race are constantly going back TO
their native land to spend their
remaining days.
ct can be safely said that the
Chinese in California are no long
er problem" .-Ed.)
A visit to Watsonville, made
September 20, 1906. shows about
700 Japanese as permanent resi-
dents of the Pajaro Valley, of
which Watsonvillc is the center.
The Japanese are engaged princi-
pally in fruit picking and in har-
vesting beets and potatoes, prob
ably 500 of them cultivating and
picking strawberries, which are
produced in this valley during al
most the entire year.
Men of standing in the COM
munity who employ Japanese and
who have no race prejudice ap-
parently, and who are distinctly
opposed to labor unions, largely
on account of the opposition of
the latter to Orientals, declare the
Japanese to be decidedly dishon-
est and totally inferior in this re-
gard to the Chinese. When the
Japanese arrived IN the Pajaro
Valley they were welcomed by
the merchants largely on account
of the fact that they wore Amer

ed disposition to trade along
