CHINESE AS NEIGHBORS
UN WELCOME ON COAST
. A threatened oriental Invasion of the
' exclusive residence districts In a num-
.' ber of Pacific coast cities has stirred
, up a commotion ' of no small dlmen-
.' slons among the elect of Spokane, Loa
. Angelea and Honolulu.
; Portland's ! wealthy Aslatio dwellers
hav not so far manifested a disposi
tion to establish .homes among the
palatial mansion on King's Heights
- or tne oeauttiut mils around Vista
avenue, nor yet in the .scarcely less
rretentioua district of Nob Hill and
irvlngton. In fact the majority of
those orientals in Portland who have
. amassed fortunea seem content, as are
their less fortunate countrymen, to
live with their families In the dingy
via pricK Dunamgs in enmatown.
Spokane has a wealthy resident in
tho person of T. A.-Yok, a. former sub
ject of Tsl Ann, who has purchased a
t lot In an exclusive residence district
peopled by some of the wealthiest res
idents of the Falls City, and announces
. that he intends building a home on the
Bite which will rival for magnificence
-and sumptuousness of. thoee of his
prospective neighbors. .
Down near Loa Angelea la, another
alant-eyed Individual of many dollars
who haa recently shocked tho arlsto
cratlo residents of Pasadena by filing
with the building Inspector the plans
- for a $50,000 residence. The published
report says that this rich Chinaman
has a largo and .flourishing family
which ho proposes to Install In his now
home situated in th midst of a score
of the finest private resldencea In
southern California, nearly all of which
are owned by retired eastern men of
great wealth who spend their winters
in California.
The residents of tho Maklkl district,
the fashionable residential section of
nomiuiu, are up in arms against en
croachment of their section by the pros
perous Japanese of the Islands, who
nave recently acquiroa mucn property
on several of tho city's moat beautiful
residential streets and who nra ha-rin.
nlng to build cheat) Jaoaneae tenemantx
and boaraing-houses on their property.
u uimd i uiai ici wuibq vile l&pan-
ese usually adODt a chean ojid ttslv
style of architecture that is an affront
to the most ordinary homes of white
men. Meetings have been nallerf hv tha
Indignant residents to protest against
Issuing building permits for the erec
tion of , these buildings, although the
building in -.Dec tor declares that - ha (
powerless In the matter and that th
Jap will be allowed to go on with their
bullaln- enterprises.
It Is not probable that PnrrlarM -wilt
suffer much If any annoyance because
of encroachment of this character by
wubuiw r-uu-nt-, xor me reason
that nearly all over tha cltv nmvhuan
of lots are focbldden In the orleinal
transfers of title to sell to orientals. , .
