JOHXSOX TO TELl OF JAPAX- ESK SITUATION IX OREGON. Senator Expresses Appreciation for Anti-Asiatic League Statistics Furnished. HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb, 3. (Spe cial.) A letter just received by R. E. Scott, secretary of the Hood River Anti-Asiatic league, from James S. Stewart, state cnalrman of the John son for President club, indicates that Senator Hiram Johnson will use local statistics on Japanese and agitation that is under way against Japanese immigration in his anti-league of na tions campaign now being waged in the east. Mr. Stewart writes: Thank you on behalf of Senator Johnson for the very complete anti- Japanese data forwarded by you to this office. We are transmitting same to Senator Johnson for use in his anti-league of nations campaign now being made by him in the east "We expect that Mr. Johnson will campaign the state of Oregon in his own behalf for a week or so about May 1 and, if possible, will have Hood River designated as one of the points at which he will speak. In his reply to Mr. Stewart's letter. Mr. Scott stated that Senator John son would receive a wide sympathy locally because of his attitude on the Japanese question. "But." Mr. Scott wrote, "Senator Johnson's radical view of government ownership of railroads and other mat ters will minimize his support for the presidency in Hood River, peopled, as you know, by a rather conservative citizenship."

MARSHFIELD. Dr., Feb. 3. (Spe cial.) Captain B. 'W. Olson of the Smith company lumber steamer C. A.

Captain Olson had several Russian sailors who, talking among the other sailors, declared they were dissatis fied with life in this country and wanted to return to Russia. They had observed the anxiety of the gov ernment to .rid the United States of agitators and declared that upon re turning on the C. A.
