poets to give employment to about
fifteen expert workers in the car de-
partment repairing, rebuilding and
building freight cars.
The shops in Judith Gap are said to
be the best along the entire system
from st. Paul to the coast. They are
equipped with the very latest machin-
cry and will be capable of turning
out vast amount of work in the
least possible space of time. The
very best skilled workmen along the
line are being consigned to this point,
which would indicate that all the diff
ferent repairing for large territory
will be thrown into Judith Gaps
commodiOus and modern shops, and,
perhaps, it also means that the work
of car building will be engaged in
shortly on large scale. If this lat
ter step is contemplated it will mean
the employment of large force Of
men outside of the repair department.

How About the Japs =?
From the Anaconda Standard.


From the Anaconda Standard
In the current news one gets two
kinds of testimony concerning the
japanese. For one side the talk is
that they are invading parts of the
Pacific coast region to an extent
which makes them Il menace, against
which the American people must pro-
tect themselves. In fact, there are a
lot of these Japs on the coast, if re-
cent figures concerning them, and
processing to be Il census of them, are
trustworthy. On the other hand, sta:
tistics for which accuracy is claimed
show that last year the number Of
these people who returned to Japan
from our ports was heavily in excess
of the arrivals of labOrers in this
country from Japan. Figures are
given to show this falling off, and
they are cited as an evidence of the
sincerity of the promise given months
ago to restrict the migrations of lab
orers to the United States. Which
line of testimony is right
