Japan Observes
Agreement, Claim
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Japan
has scrupulously observed the gen
tlemen S agreement regarding cxclu-
sion of japanese labor from this
country, Ambassador Hanihara said
in q letter 80 Secretary Hughes,
which Hughes today transmitted to
the senate. Hanihara protested
vigorously against the proposed pro
vision OF the immigration law to ex-
clude all Japanese.
1.-The manifest object of the ex-
clusion of the immigration bill, "
he declared, "is to single out Jap
anese as ii nation, stigmatize them
as unworthy and undesirable in the
eyes of the American people, Yet
the actual result of the proposed
bill becomes law would be to ex-
clude only 146 Japanese per year. .

ROTARIANS In
A REMINISCENT
FRAME OF MIND

An "TmporiaI All-Star" enter
tainmcnt was presented yesterday
before the assembled Rotarians of
this city when Bert Edgar of I'm
perial, acting as chairman of the
day, presented several present or
past residents of the neighboring
city. A. j. McGaughey, pastor of
the Imperial Community church, and
Leroy Holt were the principal
speakers, while Wendall. Smith Of
Imperial furnished the music for
the occasion by playing on a saw.
In mastemy introduction which
preceded the program, Mr.. Edgar
harked back to the days when the
fair city of Imperial was the So
cial, financial, political and spiritu-
al center Of Imperial Valley. Those.
We're the days when Leroy Holt had
the. first Bank, George lVarney the.
first merchandise store, when the
"rag house, was the first hotel,
and Edgar Brothers sold the first
hardware.
Mr.. Edgar then told of George An'
derson coming to him to secure job
for his brther in the early days,
and how he, Edgar, recognizing the
powers of this young man, tried to
! hire him instead of any one else.
Mr.. Edgar stated that it had been
to his advantage ever since that he
hadn't gotten George. "
Waxing strong in his assertions
regarding local matters, Mr.. Edgar
| declared the Imperial Valley and
other sections would not have to
worry long about such dangers as
hoof and mouth disease, as Henry
Ford was coming to the rescue of
mankind with Il synthetic cow.
Commenting on the big fire of
yesterday morning, Mr.. Edgar stat
ed that he rushed down from I'm
perial to rescue the flivvers parked
in the lot next to the hotel, but re-
manned entranced by the procession
of important people of our city rush
| ing.
Plays Musical Saw
Edgar Brothers Hardware Com
| pany took the honors from their
competitors, the Imperial Valley
/ Hardware Company, when Mr..
Smith played upon one of their mus
ical saws in a manner much appreci-
ated by all.
Rev. McGaughey gave seven rea-
sons why FL Centre should have a
community church. He mentioned
the economy of such. an .organiza-
tion, the greater efficiency, the en-
htusiasm of numbers, the success of
the Imperial church, the advantages
/ in reaching the young people and
the man on the street, as well as q
community church marking a for
ward step towards world evanget-
ism.
The pastors talk was we'll. given
and created a very faYorable i'm
preston among the Rotarians to-
! ward such an organization.
Members were divided into five
teams for the coming six-months'
j attendance contest, to be lead by
DR.. Forrest Kutz, Will S. Fawcett,
C. w. Runge, John Kepley and Andy
! Preble, in the order named.
Guests present were R. E. Fauser

The wedding took place at the

The groom grew to manhood at
Askov but for the past few years
has been working at his trade as

letter to the American under
date of Sept. 81, from Chitina,
Alaska, which reads as follows:
Received copies of the Ameri-
can and was glad to hear what
was going on around there. AS !
predicted we are getting plenty
of darkness; it has also started to
snow, so we are settling down for
a peaceful winter.
Business has been good here all
summer but getting pretty slow
now. Had a large number of
tourists passing through here on
their way to Fairbanks in the in.
terror of Alaska. This trail
known as the Richardson high
way runs three hundred and
twenty miles into the interior,
passing through the highest
mountains in North America,
among them being Mt. Mckinley
10000 feet in height. Mt. Wran-
gel the only active volcano in
North America is also located
along this trail, about forty miles
from Chitina.
The Indians, better known as
Siwashes around here, are still
quite active, they pull off occa-
sionally a pow-wow, or what they
call potash. All the Siwashes
come in for miles around for this
important event, the main
features being dancing and eat
ing. The dancing consists OF
jumping up and down, there be-
ing no particular cadence to it;
however what they lack in form
they make up for in endurance.
The ones who can stand it the
longest draw the prizes, which
usually consists of bright colored
blankets and clothes, their aver

age allowance of clothing and
wearing apparel, being as many
as necessary, not to exceed one.
Some white men, / being among
them, joined them in a free for
all lunch. A number of birds
were put in a large pan, the idea
then being for everyone to help
himself, when the signal was
given, knives and forks barred.
Never saw such a scramble, was
certainly glad knives and forks
were barred; didn't think people
could be so greedy, but the two
legs that l got were good. After
they had danced for upward of
six hours the odor in the room
became anything but like that of
a rose, so | went home.
The hunting season has OPEN
ed and as there is plenty of game
to hunt here will have something
to do. There are plenty of lynx,
bear, goats, ducks, geese, ETC., and
| am going out for some. If 1
have any exciting times, will let
you know.

The members of the local
Danish Lutheran church decided
at their quarterly meeting Sun
day afternoon not to adopt the
envelope system of collecting
funds for the church as had been
suggested. As nothing has been
done to the inside walls of the
church since its erection ten
years ago. and they need atten-
ton, the matter of interior
decorating was briefly discussed
and it was decided to look into
the matter regarding what can
be done to beautify the building,
prices on same, etc. Rev. S. ID.
Rodholm spoke about the college
of the Danish Lutheran church -
Grand View--at Des Moines.
lowa-bringing out what the

most of the students coming
there have no more funds than
just barely enough to see their
way through.
