JAPANESE LABOR SCARCE. california Worrying Over the Danger of a Shortage of Hands for the Vintage.

There is said to be some anxiety among the grape growers of Lodi lest the Japanese grape piekers will refuse to work in that section because of re- strictiens placed on the Japanese store keepers by the authorities.
 On the other hand. some assert that the high wages paid by the grape growers will bring all the help de- sired.
 The very fact that there is any anx- iety as to the supply of labor calls at- tention to the fact that slowly but surely the Japanese floating population is going the way of the Chinese.
 Large numbers of them have become independent farmers. Thousands have scattered to other states Of the West, and not a few migrated across the mountains. Some have gone to Mex ico.
 The present policy of restricting Japanese immigration by agreement are demanding absolute exclusion by law. has materially reduced the Jap4- nese population of California, if we are to believe the statistics furnished by the United States and Tokio gov- ernments.
 It is probable that next year we shall receive a new tide of immigration through the canal which may diminish the demand for Japanese labor.
 The present system seems to be solv- ing the Japanese problem, at least SC far as the influx of laborers Is co a. cerned.
 It apparently is doing more. It is giving the grape growers cause for worry lest they may not find sufficien, labor to take care of their crops.- Sacramento Union

THE ELks' OUTING PLANS
 ARE COMING ALONG STRONG.
Mayors of Four Cities Have Been Tr- vited and a Lot of Thinas Are Scheduled.

Plans are going right along. the workers for the outing said yesterday, on the August II frolic of the Norwich lodge of Elks at. Lincoln park.
 The ball game will be played before dinner. Willimantic is training. So is Norwich. The game may go more than nine innings. 1t may use up more than nine players on a side. That. Col. Piaut said last night, Is why the final coupon on the ticket reads: Good for one ride home in the ann bulance if discombobolated physically or mentally by anything we did to you on the grounds. you find yourself un- able to head toward your own vine and fig tree without the help of d wheeled vehicle"
 politicians only. The other races will. it is expected, be open. As for the grounds, they will be open on the dot at 10 in the morning.
 The tangoing contest for fat men they have some in the Elks-will be a card of cards. That was admitted by Tax Collector George A. Bartlett of Willimantic, who was in Norwich, on Thursday afternoon. just to spy out the land and, incidentally to get a line on his competitor, Exalued Ruler Will jam Waite CWeignt Beckwith of Norwich. Mir. Beekwith had gone to the country. it was said at his home, to train for the tango, and Mir. Bart lett, who twill weigh in at .2S0. did not see his, opponent. who admits he Is lover 200 in avoirdupois. The win ner will be challenged on the grounds by Oscar H. Main.
 Mayors of four cities have been in- vited and will show up some time dur ing the day. Congressman Mayor Bryan F. Mahan will not be in Wash ington week after next, and he plans to visit Lincoln park. Mayor Timo- i thy c. Murphy will, in all probability be invited to be the official pig starter Mayor Archie. Macdonald of Putnam writes that he would not miss it, and Mayor Comptroller Danny Dunn oi Wfllimantic; exalted ruler of the baby lodge, is to arrive in Norwich early in the morning and take, the midnight trolley after the thing is- over.
 The cabaret talent is being booked and it will he the right kind of talent
 The general feeling in town and ir New London is that Lincoln park is the proper locality for Norwich lodge to entertain New London. Willirnantic Westerly Putnam Providence, Hart ford. New Haven, Woonsocket and g few unattached EIks.
 The Electric Road management is to give the outing all the cars thai will be needed. That means cars iron both ends of the line. Westerly will be well represented and from WiIli. mantle. where the Thread City lodgs was instituted last winter a big party maybe on a specfaf-car, is looked for
