The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1916-10-08

OF desolation. 1t is wind-swept and
caotus-infested and is utterly devoid
OF water. Dry and lifeless tomato
vines bear mute testimony to the fu-
tility Of farming.
The Japanese at once put UP homes.
They were little more than shackg.
bun street was laid out in crude
fashion and part OF the field was a
neld no longer. II had assumed the
proportions OF village. One hundred
and twenty-five Japanese make their
homes In and around the village. which
is IN direct line with the United
States Qualifications, now in the build
ing. Moreover. the fort is less than
half Il mile distant The construction
towers rising like huge elevators from
me crest OF the hills, are plainly yisI-
BILE from practically every house in
the settlements. Not 80 very long ago
visitors were allowed to come and
go as they pleased on the military res
crvatiOn. Venturcsome Tapanese
climbed the hill. visited the shafts and
looked down upon the handicraft OF
the American workmen.
No one paid any great amount OF
Japanese The hmerican Iahnrn,' J" Nv, y,
garded them as frlendtv gar,ncrs nnd
thought of them wltbout g,,ericion =,
they thought Of them at all Meanwhile
the japanese continued to harvest their
lean crops and kept their own coun-
sci.
But when Captain Sage came to Los
Angeles from the Philippines certain
changes were made al the fort, He
let II become known that he was an
posed TO promiscllous visiting on the
military reservation. Cameras were
taboo and visitors must come sipDlied
with the necessary passports.
Why Are They rherel
Why are those bright-faced Tanan-
ese seeking to cultivate this desoIate
hill with such patience? II cannot
he because Of the abundance Of the
crops Nor can II he due 10 the va
riety Of the harvest. Aside from hay
an an inferior quality OF dried beans
little, II anything in the way OF nro-
ductive crops are being harvested nv
the plodding Japanese, hut there they
have the advantages of the valley
lands and there is an abundance Of
water for irrigation purposes On
this hill there is no water and the
only thing to commend the Jananese
gardens is their proximity IN Uncle
Sans last word in coast defenses
