widow doesn't have to be young. It's
not necessary that she be extremely
fair to look upon. Her bank account
Eust not necessarily be large, al

Washington, Oct 9.-Immigration
of japanese into America is increas-
ing al SO alarming a rate that it has
been determined to adopt eXtraordin-
airy measures to prevent the introduc-
ton into the United States not only
OF Japanese, but of other Asiatic
cOolie labor. One result of the trip
OF Secretary StraHs has been an in
crease in the force OF immigration in
spectors along the Canadian border
with a view to controlling the hood
OF Asatic immigration. 1t 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 same period
last year. Naturally the figures of
the government do not include the
hundreds of Japanese who have come
into the country surreptitiously. They
have come across from the Canadian
and Mexican borders principally with
out hindranCe, despite the means
adopted by the government to pre-
vent the introduction of Japanese
labOrerS.

For many months the government
has had immigration commissioners in
Mexico and Canada. In practically
every instance the inspectors have
reported that the Japanese who reach
Mexico or Canada are bound for the
United States.
Inquiries in the Hawaiian islands
have revealed organizations whose
business is to procure Japanese Ia
borers to work in the United States.
They not only provide the means, but
pave the way by which Japanese may
easily obtain entrance to this country
| through Mexico and Canada.
1t is this sort of position that the
government proposes to combat. In
the appointment of what practically
constitutes a patrol guard of the
northern and southern borders of the
country, Secretary Straus hopes to re-
Guce the number of Asiatics who daily
are coming across the borders in
great and increasing numbers.
Returns from the Canadian immigra-
ton Offices show that 1886 Asiatics
| landed at the British Columbia ports
| of Victoria and Vancouver between
January l and September IS. 1907. OF
this number 2S72 were Hindus, 4S11
were Japanese, most of the latter
reaching Canada from Honolulu. The
remainder were Chinese, who paid ad-
mission fees of 800 for the privilege
of landing in Canada. The field of la
Tor in that section of Canada is limit
ed, and the immigration inspectors
have shown that most of the Japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get
ints the United States.

SOME FINE RACING.
Splendid Weather, Fast Track and Speedy
Horses in Close Contests Make June
Race Meet Success.

DEBORAH has seldom if ever had two
days OF such fine horse racing as last
week at the June Race Meeting of the
DEBORAH Driving Club, members of
the Cedar Valley Racing Circuit. The
weather was all that could be desired,
the track was in excellent condition,
and the drivers seemed to be out for
the money i'll every instance. There
were but two races each day but each
of them was contest which the lover
of horse racing could witness and feel
that he was getting his moneys worth
all the time
The first race on Wednesday after
noon was undoubtedly the best of the
series. 1t was the 2 :l5 pace, and there
were seven starters. Parker drove
Gayosa. and as he has often done be-
fore took it easy the first two heats to
try out his horse and the field against
him, and then taking first in the last
three heats, although the decision of
the judges giving him the third heat
was thought by the crowd to have
been unfair. as the latter were prac.
tically unit in declaring DR.. Jake
winner by a head The time, how
ever, was exceedingly fast and the
race good one, finishing as follows:

There were five horses in the Q 80
pace. Lady Weaver took the lead in
the first heat but before coming to the
stretch fell back and Connors was
pushed up to the wire ahead. In the
second heat Jessie James soon got the
pole and took the heat, as well as the
next two and the race, but had to re-
duce his time to lis Ia and lower

CHAPTER Nj.

A RAW, gray day, with a driving
~ drizZle from seward and a
~ leaden rack of clouds drifting
low, matched the sullen. fitful
mood of Glenister.
During the last month he had chafcd
and frettcd like an animal in leash
for word of Wheaton. This uncertainty,
this impotent waiting with folded
hands, was m%addening to II of his
spirit. He could apply himself to no
fixed duty, for the sense Of his wrong
preyed on him fiercely, and he found
himself haunting the vicinity of the
Midas, gazing at it from afar, grasp
ms hungrily for such scraps of news
as CHANGED to reach him. Mcnamara
allowed access to non but his min
ions, so the partners knew but vague
ly of what happened on their prop
erty, even though, under fiction Of the
law, 1t was being worked for their
protection.
No steps regarding n speedy hearing
of the case We're allowed. and the col
fusion between Judge Stillman and the
receiver had become so generally rec

terings and threats In many quarters.
Yet, although the politician had by
now virtually absorbed all the richest
properties in the district and worked
them through his hirelings. the people
Of Nome, as a whole, did not grasp the
full turpitude Of the scheme nor the
systems perfect working.
Strange to say, Dextry, the fire eater,
had assumed an oriental patience quite
foreign to his peppery disposition and
spent much OF his time In the hills
prospecting.
On this day, as the clouds broke
about noon, close down on the angry
horizon a drift Of smoke appeared,
shortly resolving itself into n steamer,
She lay to In the otiing, and through

Then Glenister opened the door care

"We've got h search warrant to look
through your house." said Voorhees,.
"What are you looking for?"
"Gold dust from Anvil creek"
"All right-search away"
They rapidly secured the premises,
covering every inch. paying no heed
to the girl, who watched them with
Indifferent eyes, o to the old man,
who glarcd at their every movement.
Glenister was carelessly sarcastic, nj.
though he kept his right arm free.
while beneath his sangfroid was n
thoroughly trained alertncss.

a manner wholly lacking in his former
mock courtesy. IL was as though he

along the walk.

a timid, broken laugh. Then, pulling
herself together, the merry careless
tone came into her voice, and hei
