Home Industry in Colorado.

This state is gradually coming to
the front as n manufacturing center.
Raw materials are much cheaper ana
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The homo
market for machinery and articles OF
all kinds is good, partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their patronage.
1t is rather hard now for some o.
the factories to obtain skilled labor az
this time, but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet.
ter In this state than they can in the
eastern states on account of the lower
prices of farm and garden products.
BY the increased home demand for
these products prices will of course
become higher. This is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizing
home Industries.

FORNIA ANTi-JAPANESE
LEGISLATION.

NO DANGER FROM JAPANESE I'M.
MIGRATION AND AGITATcRs
ONLY MAKE TROUBLE.

Sacramento, Cal-President Roose-
welt has taken hand in the anti-Jap.
anese legislation now before the Cali
fornia Legislature and has asked the
governor to take steps to have all legis-
lation held up until the President can
be.heard in the matter.
In telegram sent Saturday this re-
quest was embodied and letter is en-
route to Sacramento which will give
the chief executives viev@ and wishes

According to a statement made by
Governor Gillett there will be no legis-
lation against the japanese at this ses-
sion of the Legislature.

radical anti-Japanese measures resent
interference by the President and gov
ernor and say they will fight
President Roosevelt's letter to Gov
ernor Gillett dated January 10th, says:
II am greatly concerned over the
anti-Japanese bills which are appar.
emily going through or are on their
way in the California Legislature. They
are in every sense most unfortunate.
At last we have in first class working
order the arrangement which with
such difficulty we succeeded in getting
through two years ago. The Japanese
government is obviously acting in good
faith. During the six months ending
October 3lst. last. the total number OF

land of the United States has been
2.O74, and the total number who have
left has been 3,1S1. In other words,
the whole object nominally desired by
those who wish to prevent the incom-
ing of Japanese laborers has been
achieved.
More Japanese are leaving the
country than are coming in, and by
present indications In very few
years the number of Japanese here
will be no greater than the number OF
Americans in Japan; that is. the move
ment will be as normal In one case as

Up Stolen Property

BURLINGAME, July 2S.-The quest
for the city's supposedly feminine

COUNTY BILLS FOR
WHISKY GROWING
Supervisors Attention Called to
Apparent Heavy Increase
in Use of Liquor

OAKLAND, July 2S.-Why are the
bills for supplying whisky to the
county infirmary, receiving hospital and
county Jail 80 per cent higher for the
first six months of 1909 than they were
for the entire year 1908?
The question will BE answered after
an inquiry by the board of supervisors.
On the face of it there has been an ex
traordinary increase in the consump-
tion of alcoholic beverages for med
icinal purposes around the various
county institutions. The bills show no
more than that the quantity purchased
for the first half of the year is un-
usually large.
AS the figures have been uncovered,
County Expert J. M. Sabin has offered
some comments which tend materially
to relieve the situation and to reassure
the various interested officials. Sabin
said:
Such supplies are purchased in bulk
it is not unlikely that in this instance
the bulk of stock laid in came inside
the first six months of the year, and
that the consumption for the entire
year will be much less. or no greater,
at least, than that of 1908 Liquor is
bought at irregular intervals and must

ing the six months following and In
Guiding the date of purchase.
1T has frequently occurred that lots
of whisky would be bought during a
six months period, and nothing more
purchased for long time thereafter.
Il have heard of some inquiries as to
these purchases, but 1 do not consider
that the data warrants any invidious
comparisons at this time as 1t is i'm
possible to say whether purchases will
be maintained during the year or even
the succeeding months to keep up the
present apparent over stocking"
Supervisor John F. Mullins said that
If there were anything wrong with the
whisky purchases immediate investi-
cation would be made. He felt that
close examination would not show a
condition as serious as might appear on
the face of things
