DELAY OF A FEW A Y
Case Against coIored Thieves Will be
Taken up in a Few Days.

County Attorney Johnson said this
afternoon that it was not likely that
the case of Wiley Brown and Jacob
Simpson, colored, who pleaded guilty
in the justice court to the theft of six
suits of clothes, a day or two ago, can
be presented to Judge Nye for a few
days, possibly not till next Monday.
The reason is that the court stenogra-
pher will not be available until then,
also Judge Nye is exceedingly busy in
chambers preparing decisions in cases
under advisement. AS both of the de-
PENDANTS are past the limit Of very
young manhood they both will prob
ably be sentenced to the usual indie
terminate terms in the penitentiary.
One feature in their favor is that by
their pleas the county has been saved
a considerable item of expense in
prosecution.

TOO MANY LABoRERS THERE
No More Needed in Western Part of
Canada, says a United States
Consul.

Vancouver. B. C.-While 1t is true
that with the approach of spring there
are fewer unemployed in British Co.
lumbia than few months ago, it can
hardly be denied that there are more
than sufficient laborers in this prov
ince at present for any demand likely
to arise in the course of the year,
David T. WILDER reports from Van
couver.
The immigration of laborers from
the United States to Canada should be
discouraged until further develop
ments have greatly changed the labor
situation here. Immigrants from the
limited States are bound to be disap-
pointed because Of the lower wages,
higher cost of living and the great un-
certainty of obtaining employments.
They should in no case come without
sufficient means to keep them for
some time in case they cannot obtain
employment and to take them back
70 the United States If finally unsuc-
ressfuI. However, larger numbers have
heen attracted to British Columbia
than can possibly obtain work, al
though the province is developing rap
idly. Hardly day has passed during
This winter when the situation OF the
unemployed in Vancouver has not
been brought repeatedly to my atten-
+;or nv destitute Americans seeking
assistance to get home. No less than
2 600 Americans have permanently re-
turned from Vancouver alone since

II should also be added that the
avs against vagrancy are very strict

Conditions in Japan.

That the old customs of Japan are
passing away and the empire is rapid
ly becoming civilized and, more slow
ly, Christianized, is not borne out by
the fact, for the dark side of Japan is

A writer in the Missionary intelligen'
Ger of Cincinnati, long resident in

walls. The tenacity with which they
cling to the family gods in some
homes supposed to be Christian shows
that idolatrous customs have a strong
hold on them Here in japan the d.

America, and then not all the separa-
lions are counted. The people are
woefully addicted to the use Of liquor
and tobacco. All the grocery stores

Artificial Lakes.

that the large artificial lakes formed
for irrigation purposes or to supply
water for large cities, are not with
out influence on the climate of the SUP
rounding locality. In one instance
that came under his notice. there has
been during the ten years since the
dam was constructed and the lake
formed, a decrease Of IL degree Fab

ence between maximum and minimum
temperatures. In the neighborhood
Of another lake the number of foggy
days has increased from the average
of fifty-seven each year to eighty-six.
The German investigator says that
this increase can be assigned to no
other cause than the creation of the
great artificial lake and the conse-
quent increased evaporation in the To-

DR.. Campbell is very optimistic. not
withstanding an effort was made few
years ago to discredit the whole ven
ture.
THE government established herd
of seventy deer on the island in 1900"
he says land it now numbers six hun
dred and eighty, and many have been
killed for food and clothing. This may
not be done at will, but is entirely I'M
der government regulation.
"Only about thirty-fve at present
belong to the government, the rest
having been given out to the herders
in lieu of wages. Our chief herder,
Sapillu, has 200 head from his earnings
and their increase.
'The teaching in the public school
is not unlike ours, including industrial
training and music. In addition to this
the schoolhouse, which is also our
home. is open to the public evenings
and is a social center in the fullest
sense. From it emanates the indus
trial, educational, business, social and
religious life Of the people.
Besides the regular school course
there is a good work bench, black
smith outfit, grindstone, stocks and
dies, polishing lathe (for polishing
ivory, fur-sewing machine, laundry
and organ always ready for any one
to use"
One of DR.. Campbell's pet schemes
is the Building and Loan Association,
which several young men have already
established and built sanitary cabins
for themselves and wives,
DR.. and Mrs Campbell are social
workers of the most approved stan
dard, developing the native and do
nestle arts, teaching sanitation and
hygienic living and intoxicating moral
principles, in addition to public school
instruction and medical care. What
this means to this most restricted and
wretched of peoples, is beyond our
comprehension, they say.

They must be taught the simplest
things-to cook and sew and wash
their clothes and care for the children
and clean their houses and keep their
bodies free from vermin
But few OF them have stoves In
which bread can be baked, and for
fuel for these the men go in their
boats fifty or seventy-five miles for
drift wood"
Mrs. Campbell was trying one time
to persuade the women to discard the
Salome indoor costume-which, in
their case often consisted of little
more than string of beads, in favor
of the American costume She was
told we're too poor If you'n give us
clothes We'll wear them" Upon be-

BELL of st. Lawrence Island,
Alaska, who have been spend

cation since 1901, when they went
there to engage in social work among
the Eskimos. Their work is similar
to that of DR.. Grenfell, though their

two occasions a gasoline boat from
Nome.
The island is a government reindeer
reservation and the most remote sta
ton Of Alaska except Point Barrow,
which is the northernmost post Office
in the world. Yet Point Barrow has
a reindeer mail service three times in
the winter, while st. Lawrence has
but one regular mail year.
