the yard, are accessible to the stall by
narrow raised walk protected by
strong rail.
When 1t Is desired to exercise the
bull, who Is allowed the freedom of
his stall and yard, a rope is snapped
into his ring. This is done by simply
reaching through the bars of his stall
as he stands at his manger. The end
Is passed through the door. and the at
tendant, stepping through another
opening, leads him along the passage
way as shown in tbG cut. He takes
his place readily In the power. and the
attendant handles the brake. When it
Is desired to use the breeding rack the
cow is made fast in position, and the
gate which was formerly in front of
the rack IS swung over in front of the
power and serves as a guard to the at
tendant. With this arrangement no
one need be injured. The power gen

japanese Labor Trusts Operating In
Three Western States

4 NCo'Ctn Dtdtto
Reno, Nevada, Nov. 2.-Over 1000
Japs are employed as section hands
on the various branches of the Southern
Pacific system and the Oregon Short
Line between Sparks and Ogden. These
japanese laborers receive, according to
the manager of the Sparks branch of
the Japanese-American industrial cor.
poration, through which they are en-
ployed, $l.60 a day, which il paid to the
corporation, and its men are paid
thror gh the industrial corporation.
Owing to the scarcity of white men
who can be employed in bulk. so to call
it, the effect has been to enable the in.
dustrial corporation to organize a real
labor trust. This trust is controlled by
Obeko, a crafty Oriental. II. Sugawara,
who conducts the office of the corpora
ton in Sparks, states that the labor
trust gets 81 a month from every man
hired to the Hartman system. So long
as 81 is paid, Sugawara said, a Japanese
can continue working, otherwise he
quits. So prosperous has the corpora.
ion become that branch offices are
now maintained in Sparks, Ogden,

visit when he returned to the steamer
Mississippi and waved his farewell as
represented in the snapshot reproduced
In this column.
1t is a long time since a chief execu-
tive of the nation has taken a trip hav-
ing so many unusual features as that
Of Mr.. Roosevelt by steamboat down
the Mississippi. Presidents usually
travel by railroad in these days when
touring the country, and for a chief
magistrate to depart so far from Gus
tom as to take a long steamboat jour
ney is enough in itself to attract atten-
ton. The fact that the president was
accompanied on this tour by the gov
ernors of almost all the western states
and by many senators and congress
men added to the interest of the jour-
ney. 1t Is an interesting coincidence
that Mr.. Roosevelt's grandfather on
his fathers side commanded the frs.
steamboat that ran on the Mississippi.
In 1911 this ancestor, Captain Roose-
Welt, took a steamboat down the Ohio
and Mississippi TO New Orleans, being
the very first to make such a trip. The
presidents grandmother also made the
voyage.
