No. 284. 1l " 000S BAy LUMBER DEAL IS SI 10 BE MORE EXTENSIVE Rumor That Menasha Wood- enware Company Will Buy Simpson Holdings. HENRY HEWITT, JR., -. LIKELY, IN DEAL t -. 'Jii Official Statement of Matter Can't Be Obtained For a Few Days. Folio Ins up the repoit, on the Bay yc 'er'lf v that the .tfelson Lum ber Compai y had acquired the North Bend Lumber mill, another rumor was afloat this morning that tho Menasha Woodenware Company was negotiating for tho purchase of the entire holdings of the Simpson Lum ber Company on Coos Bay. Pend ing the return of L. J. Simpson from San Francisco, which will probably be on the Redondo this week, no of. flclal confirmation or denial of tho rumors can be obtained. The Menasha Woodenware Com pany has extensive holdings of tim ber in this section. The Smith family which controls the Menasha Wood enware Comnany, are relatives of Henry Hewitt, Jr., of Tacoma, own er of the Coos Bay Gas and Electric Company. Mr. Hewitt ls also un derstood to"be Interested in the Nelson Lumber Company or closely allied with them so that the con summation of the reported deals would mean a realization of the hopes that Henry Hewitt, Jr., and Seymour H. Bell have entertained since they became interested in Coos Bay. Last year when Mr. Hewitt was here, he personally took up the big deal with Capt. A. M. Simpson, L. J. Simpson and Elijah Smith of the Southern Oregon Company, At that time, Mr. Hewitt wanted to merge the Southern Oregon and Simpson companies and put in motdern mills here that would rival or excel the C. A. Smith plant. He stated that if this was done, he would also put on a foreign line of steamers and market most of his output in the Orient. Of course, the rumor of the pres ent deals have grown in transmis sion and some have it1 all consum mated but as near as The Times can ascertain, there is nothing definite on the matter. Negotiations have been on but whether they have been closed or not, it Is not believed that anyone on Coos Bay knows. TODAY'S WHEAT MARKET. (By Associated Press k CHICAGO, June 11.

BURIED ALIVE AF ABERDEEN MCI II L BEND FOUR KILLED BY WESTERN W. A. Gates of California, Tells Charity Conference of Danger to Coast. (By Associated Press.) BUFFALO, N. Y., June 11. That "Iminigration from the Orient to this country Is worked up by steamship lines and assisted by emigiatlon agencies there organized," is the charge made by W. Almont Gates, secretary of the State Board of Charities and1 Coirection of Califor nia ill an addres., before the Na tional Conference of Charities and Correction here. Mr. Gates sees a veritable "yellow peril" to tho civi lization on the Western Coast of the United States, unless the Oriental Immigrant is denied admission to these shores. He said in pait: "Conditions of living in Oriental countries are very much harder than in America. Cen turies of toil and privation have trained the Oriental to do the largest amount of work nt the least cost of subsistence. American conditions of living are exploited In the Orient and immigration to this country is work ed up by the steamship lines and as sisted by emigration agoncles there organized. "Chinese Immigration to California commenced with tho days of gold rind continually Increased until stop ped by the exclusion law of 1882, at which time the annunl Increase of Chinese exceeded that of the white race. Then the Japanese commenc ed to arrive, and from 1900 to 190S, one hundred and nine thousnnd were admitted through the- Custom Houses. There are now In this coun try, approximately, four hundred and seventy-six thousand Orientals, eighty-five per cent of whom are on the Pacific coast and Hawaii. "When the Oriental arrives he must find work.1 and to get it will under-bid all others. Even then It Isi the highest wage he ever earned. He gets employment, first in the low est fields of' labor, works long hours and does fair worlc, so Intrenching hlihselfi Then' he strikes to exclude all white men, after which higher wages are demanded, and next he demands the management of the bus-1 iness. Japanese capital Is now mak ing investments, especially In the purchase of farm lands. If this con tinues, in time he will own tho best farm lands, and crowd out complete ly, tho white farmer. The white pop ulation protests against driving out the white man from the farm, hither to the nurture field of the best Amer ican manhood. "The Oriental-comes hero, not for a home, put-for. gold. Ho has sent to the Orient over eight hundred million' dollarsrln.' the last thirty years.' 'Ho brings with him centu ries ot superstition and i prejudice. His moral .standards aro lowi; usual lyrhe has. no- family. According ito the census of 1900, tone out of eight een of iho Chlnesoiof this country ahd one. outf of 'twenty-four of tho Japanese ore females. Of these-wo mep but few nr'vlrtuouBl' Most are prostitutes and 'some are slaves, bought and'BoId'as'chattels. "Tho white man cannot build a home, care fora wife dnd children, perform the duties of an American citizen and compete-for his dally. bread with this wifeless, childless yellow man. ''The, white and yellow races -havo now met .on the Pacific, and the con test for supremacy has commenced, What the results will ho( -we cannot tell, We aro certain, however, that our duty lies In preserving thoso ideals of this Christian civilization which aro the foundation stones of the Republic. To do this, the Orlen-.a tal Immigrant must bo denied ad mission to these shores." YELLOW PERIL IS TAKEN OP TORNADO TEXAS LAST NIGRT Leaders and Several Other Towns Reported Badly Damaged.
