Weston's record will doubtless be

New York.. Chinatown Myth.

The term "Chinatown" Is q mis-.
homer when applied to the quarter
where the largest number of Celes-
tials congregate in New York. A short,
crooked street and 200 or 300 feet Of
. street into which it leads form the
chief stamping ground Of the Chi
Dese. There Is a temple" and a Chi
nese 'theater." Many Of the shops
where Chinese wares are exposed for
sale have a striking oriental front"
But whatever there Is Of oriental form,
color or device merely serves as a
veneer for the squalid conditions In
basement, attic and rear which have
belonged to the district for genera
lions. The neighborhood all around
- inhabited by the lower elements Of
many foreign nationalities.
The best and the most snowy fea-
lures Of the Chinese quarter are
maintained to draw revenue from
sightseeing whites. Out Of sight are
accommodations of nil sorts for the
nonresident Chinese who flock in on
Sundays and holidays. The Chinese
are scattered throughout the great
city. in New jersey and towns up the
Hudson and on Long Island. One
can walk through the district and not
meet a dozen Celestials, yet there may
be thousands hived within a stones

IN NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From vaII.
Gus Parts Of the State.
NEARLY EIGHTEEN HUNDRED
Blind PIG Licenses Are Increas.
Ing in Number.

That there are now 1.791 blind pig
licenses in the prohibition state of
North Dakota is the information con-
tanned in a letter received in Grand
Forks from the collector of internal
venue at Aberdeen, s. D., who has
charge Of the district composed Of
the two Dakotas.
The communication, which is a per-
sonal one, stated there we're the above
number of Especial tax stamps" which
is the federal license for selling liquor
and costs $25. It demonstrates that
there is a place where liquor is oh.
tanned in North Dakota for every 244
of Dopulation-twice as many as are
allowed to exist III Minnesota under
the new liquor law which permits Of
but one saloon for every 500 inhabi:
tents.
The collectors letter seems to dis
close, also, the fact that blind pigs
are Increasing in number rather than
decreasing in North Dakota, as in 1906
the number of federal licenses aver
aged but one for every 319 Inhabitants.
Statistics for the intervening years
are not obtairable. The letter asserts
that the number Of federal licenses in
South Dakota is 1,573--or 118 less in
the "wet" state than in tho "dry"
state. The large majority of these
North Dakota federal licenses are is
sued to pool rooms" and soft drink"
dispensaries. where malt" Cat least
60 labeled, is sold in large quantities
and for which there is a surprising
demand.
East Grand Forks, just across the
Red river from Grand Forks, is reap
ing its. harvest as a result of the
licensing of these places, the am as
is Moorhead, just acres the river
from Fargo. East Grand Forks has
twelve agencies of as many big brew
ing companies, each agency with it's
ample equipment for extensive cold
storage of beer for thirsty Dakotans.
In addition, there is the East Grand
Forks brewery, where liquor Is manu-
featured right on the ground. The
brewery agencies shipped 81 cars of
beer into North Dakota in the past
twelve months-not including 100 a r
manufactured by the local brewery.
This 954-barrel output Is worth $685.
200, or $500 a car. And In addition
there must be added q business Of
$780, 900 the past year in whiskey and
strong drink shipped into North Da-
kota from this same point.
III fact, so large is this traffic at
East Grand Forks that it practically
makes the whole town, employing $50
men, who receive in salaries o grand
total Of $1,000 a week This includes
the salaries paid TO the employees of
the forty-eight saloons of East Grand
Forks. who do a thriving retail busi-
ness with Grand Forks people.

DULUTH HITS FARGO BANKS
Grain Grower Bankers Resist Levy Of
Exchange Fee.

The bankers of North Dakota are
extremely indignant over what they
term an attempted hold-up game of
Duluth bankers to charge so cents *
change per thousand on North Dako-
tn grain checks.
It is an effort on the part Of Dus
luth bankers, 1t is said,- to compel the
small banks of this state to carry a
line of. deposits there instead of with
Fargo and Grand Forks.
Fargo bankers met and selected a
committee to confer with the Duluth
bankers.
II this plan fails it is probable that
Fargo and Grand Forks will send a
representative to Duluth who will look
after all North Dakota business and
each day cash all North Dakota
checks, taking actual currency from
Duluth and shipping 1t to Fargo and
Grand Forks as q retaliatory meas.
