A dispatch from Vancouver, B. C.
is to the effect thtit hundreds of Jap
anese are being called home and the
dispatch purports to have emanated
from some one who claims that these
so called are subject to military duty
and are being returned to tlie mlka
do's army. The author builds up hlR
premises that this Is the result of
our fleet being transferred to the Pa
clfic waters. If this Is the result we
had better send over the balance of
our fleet for a few days, maybe the
rest of those on our shores will re
turn to their homes. The Pacific
coast Is not going to tolerate any large
numbers of Japanese and the sooner
this point Is made perfectly clear to
the powers that be nt Washington ami
Toklo, the better possibly for both
countries.
The Oregonlan has compiled o care

1907. It prftves that Oregon Is no
exception to the genpral rule through

so cheap. Of the 58 murders In Ore
gon last year not one conviction of
murder In the first degree was se
cured and only two convictions of
murder In the second degree, where
the persons so convicted are serving

enhone office, as the basis of a fire
alarm system. The present system Is
uiisr.tlsfactory and up to the present
time the city has refused to pay for
the striker. A whistle could Be in
stalled at a must smaller price than
the average striker, and would wake
the people when the alarm Is given.

This is the testimony of every typewriter user who knows
by experience the relative performance of writing machines.
The man of all men who swears by the Remington is the
man who has tried to get the same service out of some other
machine.
A man may know the Remington or he may know some
other typewriter, but the man who really knows typewriters is
the man who knows the difference between the Remington
and others.
