He says: "It is natural that the people of Cali fornia do not want to see an increase of the Japanese invasion any more - than they want to see an Increase of their Chinese population. The American states have reason to distrust Japan. "Japan shows Its ambition today. It threatens the j Philippines and Hawaii. una tr j asfar as turning -to California.

This is the belligerent preface which Frank I Smith puts out when he dis cusses the new meat market which is soon to be installed by Harry Wood, presumably In behalf of the Union Meat company, next door to Smith' place of business at First and Alder streets. Prank L. Smith has for some time been causing much uneasiness In the ranks of the venders of meat in Port land because he - launched forth upon a campaign of "fighting tha trust." He has been advertising for some time that he Is selling more meat for less money at his place of business than any of the patrons of the Union Meat com pany now doing business. In Portland.
