NOT WORRYING ON JAP QUESTION

Feb. g., 1855, by q wild revolver shot

For long time before Kendall
death there has been growing dissat-
isfaction among the citizens and when
the councilman was killed mas
meeting was held, committees named
and Chinese were given "a hours 10

To make the warning more effec-

lows was erected in Chinatown When
tho next steamer left Tor san ran
cisco. all Eureka Chinese and thelr
movable property were on the wharf.
Since then, no Orlcntals. with one ex-
ception, have been allowed to live In
the county.
The one exception is a cook. who.
according to tradition was empioyed
by n trapper in Butler valley. The
Chinaman was not molested. partly be-
cause Of his remote position but chief
ly because he was married to native
Indian woman and had a family and
also because he was employed by a
man who was attached to him and who
was known as n fighter.
The old Chinaman is still living In
Butler valley Last years United
States census figures gave Humbolt
fifteen Chinese but no Japanese. Of
ficials here believe the fifteen Chinese
are the offspring of this one cook
and the Indian woman.
Occasionally and at long intervals
attempts. have been made to bring
japanese labor here. but the Japanese
arc not welcome. Several years ago
crew of Chinese fish handlers were
brought to Loleta, n coast point, to
help handle the salmon catch of the
Eel river. They were at once locked
in their car and. the conductor told
to get them out Mt once. No second
call was necessary.

COUNTY FAIR PLANS

Canon City. Colo. Feb. GA county
fair will be held in Canon City next
fall according TO plans well under
way by the Fremont County Farm
Bureau and the Canon City Chamber
of Commerce. To this end n public
mass meeting will be held at the dis
,rict court room here on Thursday
evening for the purpose OF organizing
a Fremont County Fair association.
For many years Canon City had one
OF the best fairs in the state and her
displays of fruits, vegetables, poultry
and live stock were the admiration of
thousands of visitors, while the pro-
gram of racing and COW boy sports
ranked among the best in the west.
For several years past no fair has
been held on account OF the sale OF
the old grounds and buildings and the
lack of an Organization to keep 1t go-

are now available, and the recently
organized Fremont County FARM
