Miller went to the coquina house as
he had agreed with Anderson. lie had
intended to remain for only few mo-
ments, but continually they urged hlla
to stay little longer. The night and
the morning had been more difficult
than they had anticipated, so he re-
manned with them until, glanCing at

Since the organization of the above league
the Japanese residents of Seattle by COM
bining their efforts as well as their money
have gained control Of the hotel situation
in Seattle. Yea, if they so desired they could

YEA even much Of the stock Of the New
Washington, the Savoy and other uptown
leading hosteleries have been purchased by
japanese. Their pluck and energy have
taken them step furthr and they have
under cover gotten control Of a majority
of the apartment houses of the city. Long
years ago they invaded the grocery business
of the city to such an extent that the
white men demanded that no more groceries
protested to the wholesalers and as
be sold to Japanese retailers and the whole
salers agreed, but then the Japanese took
the initiative and retorted: You sell Jap
anese more groceries? then Japanese
neither in and about Seattle nor in Cali
fornit will supply Seattle with fresh
vegetables. On investigation it was found
that the japanese of Washington and Cali
fornia will supply Seattle with fresh
all of her fresh vegetables 1t took the
wholesalers (white) two seconds to announce
to the Japanese retail grocers they could
have all the supplies they desired
Unless the ''new blood' that it is pro-
posed to inject into the Business Mems

ton of colored folks, which means a falling
back instead Of gaining. If colored per-
sons want to get the exclusive patronage Of
coored folks before they 60 into business
then there will be no more Of them in bust
ness in Seattle ten years from today than
at present. The colored man and woman
with stall in the Pike Place Public Mar
ket doubtless does not have more than
one cOlored customer in every one
hundred they sell to. Unless others
strike boldly out to sea and plan to cater to
the public only as has the above couple done
then hundred business leagues will accomp-
lish no more than the one that it is proposed
to inject new blood into in order to prevent
it from dying a natural death.
New Years night under the auspices Of
the Seattle Branch of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored People
will be held public meeting at the Grace
Presbyterian Church to commemorate the
taking effect of the Emancipation Procla-
nation issued by the immortal Abraham
Lincoln. There are those among us who are
inclined to have the memory of the day
pass from the public mind, but in our opin-
ion such is sad mistake. It's splendid
day to cast up accounts, to compare the
present with the past and to speculate as to
the future 1t will reflect nothing the
little ones of today to remind them that the
opportunities and advantages Of the colored

tie did not demobilize at it's last meeting, but

Others it voted to live on The annual
election of officers will occur at the next
monthly meeting, the third Sunday after
noon in January and it seemed to be the
concensus Of opinion Of those present at it's
last meeting that new blood be elected to
the various offices, which in itself would be
a fresh impetus for the motives Of the or
ganization. The club has been in existence
two years and it has little save having
lquidated every obligation it contracted, to

that has no turn, and this may be the
turning point.
