near Sacramento, is the most con-
spicuous example. japanese began
buying small tracts here and there
in the Vaca valley district, and
GRADUALLY the white farmers, rather
than have the brown men as neigh
bors, sold out to them. In the San
Joaquin valley the Japanese are
constantly reaching out into the
country districts. Many of them
have established farms, and wher-
ever they till the soil they seem
to prosper.
The japanese has shown himself
to be a domestic animal, and in
Sacramento, Fresno, Los Angeles
and some of the other cities Stats
tics show that the marriage and
the birth rates are piling up with
rapidity. The birth rate in many
cases has been found to be one a
year for each family. A new gen.
Grafton of American born Japenes
is spring up.
A house to house newspaper CEN
sus in Fresno, taken there within
the last two weeks show that the
total permanent winter population
is HOO, or an increase of about
200 over the total estimated popu-
lation of one year ago. The birth
rate has increased 10 per cent. 1t is
the same in all the important cities
of the state.
The bulk of the japanese popula-
ton has come to stay so long as
there is anything to be made by
supplylabor at price law enough
the Japanese to force themselves
into the place of the American
working man. To establish them
selves firmly, they buy property,
they marry, they raise families.
But they cannot be assimilated,
Crowded into the oriental quarters
of the large cities, Or herded in
squalid shacks in the farming dis
tricts, they cling to their manners,
their customers, their moral and
physical filth.

SNATCHES TWO
FROM SURE
DEATH $685..


Amos Hill, a matchmaker for line
Hyde Jewelry Co., 500 Spragle ave
nue., risked death or terrible Injury
beneath the wheels of Northern
Pacific freight train by narrow
margin last night to save a woman
and child.
Hill was standing near the tracks
waiting for the train to pass, when
100 feet or so awayhe saw a fright
ened horse hitched to a buggy oc-
cupied by woman and little child,
dashing madly toward the fast NOV
ing train. The woman was Juggling
frantically at the reigns in a desper-
ate endeavor to check the animals
speed to save herself and child
from almost certain death ahead,
but her strength was unequal to
the task.
Just when it seemed that col
lision with the cars was inevitable,
the matchmaker sprang to her res
cue. He swung with his whole
weight on the bride bits, stagger-
ing the horse and bringing it to a
halt just a few feet from the train.
Hills ankle was sprained and he
received slight internal injuries
which may confine him to his room.
The woman was too badly fright
ened to speak more than to murmur
a quiet Thank you" and as soon as
her horses bits were released by
her rescuer, after the train had
passed, she drove away. Hill
brushed the dust from his clothes,
pushed his stiff hat in shape and
went to his room for bandages.

state. after fiercely showing it's
teeth, and after actually. attacking,
with considerable show of deter

relief for the state from conditions
growing out of real, though
peaceful oriental invasion, laid
down, rolled over and performed
various other tricks to the time of
Theodore Roosevelt's big stick,
that outward docility of demeanor
was not by any means an express

This was clearly shown in the
upper house of the state legislature
