The first biennial report of Labor
Commissioner Hoff, of Oregon, shows
that there are about 2500 Japanese in
in the state, divided by counties, as

221, Yamhill G.
lie reports that he has investigated
all the living quariers of the Japanese
and find them cleanly and healthful
and peculiarly free from the obnoxious
Mongolian odor noticed in the homes of
Chinese.
The Japaneae are mostly employed
on railroad grades, although many of
them are domestics and janitors and all
are temperate and intelligent. The one
peculiar feature of the Japanese popu
latiou is that nearly all those in the
United States are under 30 years of age
Scarcely an oil man ia found among
them.
The averages wages of the Japanese
laborers on farms is from $2G to .$33 per
mon'h; on railway work, from $28 to
835; a od cooks aud domestics, from 820
to 835.
The Japanese mission in Portland is
attended by about 70 pupils, and there
are two night schools, where from 50 to
GO receive instruction. The proportion
of women and children among the
Japanese population in Oregon is only
4 per cent.
The average cost of living of the
Japanese laborer is 89 50 per month,
while the Chinese live on an average
cost of $7 40. The Japanese consume
89 per cent American manufactures,
while the Chinese consume but 40 per
cent American goods. The Japanese
purchases a'l his clothing in this
country.
There are nine Japanese in school in
Oregon to one Chinaman.
The Baker City Herald tells a
queur story of the modus operandi
of a horsethief of Baker City. He
keeps on hand s bunch of cheap
cayuees, and when he captures a
valuable animal he kills one of his
cheap horses, cuts out a piece of
his sk:n bearing the brand, also
removes a like piece from the
stolen horse, grafts the other
patch of skin in its place and so
effaces proof of ownership. This
may be a substitute for a fish
story.
The Latest defunct turkey to in
dicate the presence of a gold mine
in the vicinity by a gold nugget in
his crop turned up his toes the
other day on Birch creek, in Uma
tilla county, according to the
Pendleton Tribune. This ancient
yam is retold regularly about
once a month in various parts of
the country, and is a prime favor
ite in country newspaper offices,
where it never grows old or stale.
The oldest man in Hood River
valley is James H. Hubbard, born
in 1814, who came out last year
from Kentucky to spend the rest
of his days with his son. He is
well except for a cough, from
which he says he has sufiered
"ever eiuce Abe Lincoln freed the
niggers.''
A Nehalem old bachelor re
