AFTER THE
JAP HOUSES
RESTAURANT II MEN OF THE CITY
RESENT THE INCOMING OF
THE LITTLE BROWN MEN.
Is this to be a Jap town?

is LulS 10 De Jap LOWn!
That is the question that many
people have been asking themselves
during the last few weeks? Within
short time there has been an ap-
parent increase in the number of the
little brown men in the city. A Jap
chop house has been opened on one
of the main streets.
The opening of the restaurant has
been the cause of considerable stir
among the restaurant men, who, on
hearing that the Jap restaurant was
backed by one of the big stores, have
threatened to withdraw all of their
patronage.
North Yakima at the present time
has nothing else but Jap restaurants;
all the white men who had been in
this business in that town had to
take to the woods. The invasion of
this city by a horde of Japanese, it
is feared, will be the beginning of a
race question in Wenatchee
Some cities on the Sound are en-
tirely free from them. Tacoma once
had race riot, and as a result there
have never been any Japanese set
tied in that city.
Whether Wenatchee is to be men
aced in the future is still a matter
of conjecture and probably depends
upon the manner in which they are
received in the city.
Very few have left Wenatchee af-
ter once settling here. One of the
few who have left was the cook en-
ployed by the Tammany club recent
ly. The discovery was made that he
was an inveterate thief and threats
of arrest induced him to leave on the
night train. He has never been back
after his personal belongings.

WENATCHEE VS..
WATERv|LLE

There will be a baseball game in
Waterville next Sunday afternoon,
when the Wenatchee and Waterville
teams will cross bats and struggle
for supremacy.
There has for many years been a
very strong rivalry between Wenat-
chez and Waterville on the baseball
question, and whenever these two
teams come together you can make
up your mind that both teams are
going to play to win.
The Wenatchee team has been
playing with various clubs all sea-
son, and are, therefore, in excellent
shape, while our boys have hal only
one game during the season with an
outside club. However, the Water
vile team is doing some good prac-
tice work and promise to make the
Wenatchee bunch go some.
big DELL" formerly with the Van
couver team, will twirl the pig skin
for Waterville, while it is said that
Wenatchee has a twirler that is all
right.
Every lover of the national game
should attend the game Sunday and
encourage our boys, who have o.
ganized and held the team togethe
under adverse circumstances.-Bi

Spokane, June 19.-Dr. Patrick S.
Byrne, of Spokane, in announcing
his platform for the gubernatorial
contest at the coming primaries, de-
clares he will oppose prohibition,
which was favored by the state demo-
cratic party at it's recent convention,
and will cut loose from William Jen-
nings Bryan. He will not stump the
state in the interests of the national
ticket, but will conduct his campaign
upon state issues and platform of
his own make. He said:
Il do not intend to be bound by
the platform adopted by the demo-
cratic state convention, ana | believe
under the direct primary law the
time is past when candidates will be
compelled to make campaigns on OBJ
jectionable issues foisted upon them
by party leaders. While it is prob
able that Bryan will get the demo-
cratic nomination for president, | am
positive that he will not carry the
state of Washington. l intend to

Stuck on WenatChee

Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Chase re-
turned Tuesday morning from
two-days trip to Wenatchee where
Mr.. Chase was called on a busi-
ness deal in connection with the
large. wholesale grocery house
which it is planned to erect in
that city. The company has been
organized with a capital stock of
100000. At their meeting held
last week the officers and direct
ors were elected. and active build
ing operations will be commenced
as site can be secured.
Mr.. Chase is highly enthusias-
tic in regard to the future of We
natchee and vicinity, and
makes the prediction that in
short time the Wenatchee Valley
will be one of the richest sections
in the state. Land that sold for
500 per acre only a few years
ago is now bringing $1.4OO and
is still going up. He speaks very
highly of the class of business
men there. who are all wideawake
and doing things all the time.
TThey are all boosters. and are
bound to win.-Hartline Stand

OPPOSES FORES-
TRY MANAGEMENT
ME FIELD MAKES 1T A LEADING
ISSUE IN HIS CAMPAIGN FOR
CONGRESS-.

What has been the policy of the
Forestry Department in reference to
agricultural lands in the reserves,
and has that policy been prejudicial
to the interests of the people gener-
ally? This is a question that the
World has been trying to solve.
From the information gathered to
date there is a difference of opinion
existing between NJ. E. Field and
those having charge of the govern
ment work. Field contends that
the subject is important enough, that
it should be made a state political is-
sue
Only Few Affected.
The Forestry Department on the
other hand contends that only a few
people are affected. That it is for
the good of the general public that
the reserves were set apart, and
while it may work to some extent to
the prejudice of the few people close
to the reserves, the question of the
conservation of the public resources
is so important that the matter of
the inconvenience of a few is a small
matter.
Field is making considerable of
campaign against the present head
of the Forestry Department. He
states that the people of Lake Che
Ian and the Methow are especially af-
fected, that much land should be
opened for settlement which is now
in the reserve, and that the depart
ment refuses in many instances to
accept applications, even though
these applications be for agricultural
land.
Said Mr.. Field: "The department
has refused to receive practically all
applications. What we want is to
get this country settled. But we can
not do it under the policy that is be-
ing pursued by the authorities at
Washington.
do you mean to say that you are
opposed to the policy of conserva-
ton of the public resources?" was
asked Mr. Field.
NO; | am not opposed to the for
est reserves, but l do oppose the
present method of handling them. I
am decidedly in favor of the forest
reserves, and believe that to be the
general sentiment of the people
HOW UldUy peOple dlc dHCCICu ae
the present time?"
THAT would be impossible for me
to say. 1t affects everyone close to
the forest reserves. 1t affects the
value of their holdings.
There are many other points In
the management of the forest re-
serves besides the handling of the
agricultural lands with which the
people are dissatisfied. In this con-
nection, l will in the very near fu-
ture talk to the people of Wenatchee
publicly when l will make thorough
presentation of my views in reference
to forestry management.
Wants Commission.
''I believe that the proper way to
manage the forest reserves is through
a commission, which shall be appoint
i've and which shall be responsible
for the management of them. l be-
lieve that the reserves of this coun-
try should be on the same basis as
the arid lands of the country; that
the government should pay the costs
of making them accessible, and then
turn these lands back to the people
at cost"

IN BEHALF OF THE BOYS.

Police Judge Lindsay says there seems to be almost an epidemic of petty thievery and pilfering in Mena recently, especially by boys of more or less tender age. The judge be- lieves that the greater part of this small crime is caused by the non enforcement of the ordinance which makes it unlawful for boys under the age of 15 years to loaf about the streets and public places after the hour of 9 9o'clock at night.
 This ordinance, No. 148, provides a maximum fine of $5 for any person under the age of 15 years violating its terms, and a maximum fine of $10 against any parent or guardian all lowing any person in his care to be upon the streets or public places within the time prohibited except there exists necessity therefor.
 It would be well for officers, par ents and children to pay heed to this good law, the enforcement of which The Star believes would be the means of removing much temptation from the young and save disgrace and misery in many homes.
 As further measure for good, The Star suggests that the police judge be given discretion in the handling of petty juvenile offenders, such as is granted the juvenile courts which are doing such great work in saving boys in many places. By such course there would in many cases be no regular public court trial for first offenders, but they would be dealt with leniently and encouraged to do better.
 The Star believes that Judge Lind say is eminently fitted to deal with such cases in a kindly and fatherly spirit and would gladly see full pow CT to do so placed in his hands.

vegetable indigenous to the temper ature zone. It also been repeatedly pointed out that onions grow won derfully well in this region.
 In an article in this issue a local gardener testifies that he can readily produce 200 bushels of the pungent vegetable on an acre of ground, and that his present crop is bringing him $1.70 per bushel. It might be said that the onion market would readily be overdone, as the peach market has been, but there is wide difference. as the onion when properly cared for can be stored away and sold dur ing all the months of the year, and always at good prices.
 Large shipments of onions are continually made to Mena and large sums sent elsewhere to pay for them, to say nothing of the freight bills.
 Let our gardeners look into this industry and see if there is not room for its development on large scale and safe basis.

AIDING THE AGRICULTURIsTS

The last session of the New York general assembly appropriated S250, : 900 for the aid of the agricultur al societies of the state.
 The money is apportioned among the associations to reimburse them for the amounts paid out during the year in premiums, whereby the farmers of the state are given an incentive to a friendly rivalry that begets better re- suits.
 money than Arkansas and can afford to be more liberal.
 The point to be considered, however, is that while Arkansas cannot be as liberal as New York it can be as liberal as it can.
 The time has probably not come when Arkansas can support the va rious county and district fairs, but it can encourage them more than it does and it can establish district agricul- tural schools that shall aid in the practical dissemination of scientific agricultural knowledge.
 The other will come in due course.
 The foregoing suggestions from the Arkansas Democrat are good. The state should do more to aid the farmer by giving him greater re- ward for his labor which is of un- told value to the state.
 In the absence of this assistance from the state Mena, as the me troDolis of Polk county, has main- tained a fair for eleven years and her best business men are hard at work getting ready for this year s event, which will be the biggest and best of any in the past.
 Mena, when but two-year-old, l, started these fairs for the very pur- pose outlined above and has given freely of her means and best efforts to keep them going and encourage the production of the best in all lines among Polk county farmers.
 The work has brought results and should the state of Arkansas lend her assistance to such movements much more good could be done.

Hudgins. Questions have been asked as to who was responsible for the pardon, there being disposition toblame certain local parties.
 The Star does not deem it best at this time to go in to the merits or demerits of the pardon, as but a short time will be necessary to prove if it was really justified, but will say that so far as it has been able to learn the action of the governor was taken solely upon the advice of the physician in charge of the prison, whose opinion that the prisoner had an incurable case of consumption is said to have been confirmed by a prominent Little Rock physician, d the recommendation of the superin- tendent, who deemed the further detention of the sick man to be not only inhumane but dangerous to other convicts in the prison. So far as now known no man in Mena either recommended or asked for the par don
