to entirely prevent japanese laborers
from going to America. AS the agree

accepted it Professionally, but main
tanned that any violation of its terms
would seriously embarrass the friend

wards that Of the Japanese.
The Progressive party is preparing
for an active campaign in opposition
to the governments policy to restrict
emigration to the United States and
America 1t is unlikely, however, to
muster sufficient strength to create a
serious situation

Purchased Sheep Ranch.

chased a sheep ranch and $500 head of
sheep.
The property was originally nina
ture town; one saloon, one store and
buildings and pens for the sheep, but
Mr.. Norris sold all buildings not neces-
sary for the sheep business. Mr.. Norris
left Tuesday morning for Big Piney and
expects upon his arrival to purchase
another large bunch.
The range is getting too limited to per-

line to the Rand country will be com
pleted about June 1st 5000 pounds of
wire and 1000 glass insulators for this
line have arrived in CRANKY and will be
freighted.to the ground as soon as the
roads will permit and after that the
work of putting up the line will be a
small matter.
Mr.. Boston, who is digging and setting
poles, has finished digging to the Lar
son Bros ranch and is hauling the poles
which he will begin setting next week.
Mr. Case says he will have the survey
completed to the Donelson ranch by the
last of this week. Applications for con-
nection with the purposed switching
station to/be installed at the terminus
of this line are continually coming in
and it is believed that it will be a large
of North Park.
This line when finished with its switch
board will practically do away with the
fence line. which was temporarily con
last winter, and proved how indispen-
sable and convenient the ranch tele.
phone is.
The Michigan Telephone Association,
building between Walden and the Ha-
worth school house on the upper Michi
gan, have the holes, dug for their line
within about miles of its destination.
Erwin Beutler the contractor finds the
ground admirably suited for digging
foot holes and will soon complete his
contract. The ranchmen, who are in
terested, are..getting out the poles and
in many cases have already fulfilled the
agreements. This line is to be finished
about June IS and will be another feed;
er to the Walden exchange that can not
be over estimated by. the town and
ranch subscribers.
These with lines to the Canadian,
one to Cowdrey and . or more to the
