to Claim of Nipponese That
They Are Descendants of

OF the ~\ippOneSe is Il strange race OF

who still live in the dark ages SO far
as modern advancement is concerned.
The question as to the Amos origin
has never been satisfactorily settled.
During the land ownership controversy
in California the Japanese maintained
that their .AinO f%orefathers warranted
them in standing up for the rights and
privileges Of whites in California. New
erthelesS ethnOlogiStS disagree as to
whether the Japanese are descended
from these strange people, and We're
the claim granted there would be the
further doubt of the right of the Amos
to be considered Caucasians or white
people.
A. H. Savage Lander, the famous
English traveller in strange lands, was
one OF the first white men to visit the
Amos. His observations We're made at
Hakodate, on the island Of YeZo. He
had been told that no solitary traveller
could possibly make tOur of the is
lana, and the adventurous possibilities
OF such an attempt appealed to his
fancy. Mr.. Lander described the Amos
as without similarity to the Japanese
and Chinese type of men.
On the other hand Baelz, who made
a close study Of the Amos, wrote that
be believed the amount of .Aino blood
IN the Japanese was generally undereS-
timated.
In appearance the Amos struck Pro
lessor Lander as exactly like the recon-
structlons of the primitive man Of
northern Europe, and many Of their
movement recalled to him those Of
the anthrOpoid apes.
Once Occupied Whole Archipelago.
The main habitat of the Amos is on
the island Of YeZo, while a
lively small number dwell in the south
ern end OF Sakhalin and southern
kuriles. Formerly they We're found as
far south as Tokyo. and existing
names of places, evidently of AinO
origin. prove that they even nee lived
on all the principal islands of Japan.
But many centuries Of warfare be-
tween the japanese and the Amos re-
suited in the gradual exodus of the
latter northward, and the entire sub
mission of their small emnant to the
Japanese occurred several hundred
years ago.
Though there are said to be only 49,
600 Amos left. time was when they ex-
erted great influence upon japanese
life. This fact is shown by research
es. But since the days Of the down
fall of their power contact with the
progressive Japanese has failed TO
make any impression upon them. They
have spurned all arts and improve
ments and today shoot the bear with
poisoned arrows from a o as primi-
tive as early man himself, although
the japanese are noted for their weap-
ons and their archery.
The poison for their arrows Is oh.

The N. 0. G.
Train Service Established Into
Baxter.

The M. o. G. is a reality. Peo-
pie are riding on the trains, and
as seeing is believing and feeling
is the naked truth, there areally
something to the report that
Baxter has another railroad.
The first passenger train into
Baxter Springs came in last Fri.
day evening from Muskogee. 1t
was loaded with $50 members OF
the Muskogee Booster Club, and
they were taken to the Hotel
Smith where a luncheon was
given them. AS it was late in
the evening, the lunch was great
ly appreciated, and they were
loud in their praises of their
treatment here.
Regular train service was es-
tablished last Sunday and trains
are running strictly on time.
Besides the regular passenger
trains there is motor service to
Joplin, three round trips being
made by daylight.
Freight service was established
on Monday of this week.
The building of this road is
going to prove to be a good
thing for Baxter Springs.

as a merry-go-rOuud, and in adj

afternoon train to Kansas City,
leaving here at 2:30, and arriv.
ing in Kansas City about 9 o'clock.
The other trains are unchanged.

Close In Depot.

There is grounds for believing
that the Frisco is going to come
into town with its passenger de-
pot. For some time engineers
have been running lines into
town, and while they will not
tell anything, it is not at all
hard to believe that the Frisco
is figuring on getting closer into
town with its passenger station.
