MBIIII'il Hi JIMI How Islands Are Scoured for Steerage Passengers. PROMISED JOBS AND GOOD PAY 10,000 Already Booked for the Pacific Coast of America and Twice as Many More May Come. Tacoma, April 21..—According to an officer of the Kortbein Pncitic steam ship Goodwin, over 10,000 Japanese were booked for passage to this coast in Kobe and Yokohama, in the two weeks preceding the sailing’ of the Goodwin from Japan. Of this large army of coolies, over 3,400 arrived on the sound inside of three days; the Riojun Marti having 1,300 aboard, the German steamer Milos 1,014, and the Goodwin 1,117, while the Braemar is following with 1,016 of them, and several other ships clearing for Portland aud other jsjrts containing the remainder of this army of coolie laborers. According to this officer, immigra tion agents have been “working” the agricultural districts of Japan for re cruits, telling the Japs that all they have to do is raise $60 in gold to be transported to a country flowing with milk and honey, and where every man will be given an easy position at $1 a day gold. To prove they are telling the truth, these agents show letters from Japs in this country and photo graphs of them dressed equal to the white-merchants in the ports. With such bright prospects in view, the parents of a large family of boys are induced to borrow money on their farms, or to raise it by mortgaging the earnings of the boys and the farm for $60. The agent engages passage for them in the steerage of some of the trans-Pacific steamships for $30 each, the balance being his commission; but which he can only collect after the emigrants have arrived in this country, as the law requires each Japanese to have at least $30 on his arrival here. Not one of these men come to thia country expecting to clear the forests or to till the ground, but every one has been 16d to believe an easy position at good wages in white men's houses awaits him. This officer says if something is not done soon to check the influx of Japan ese before the year is out at least 20,- <100 more of them will be booked for ibis coast, as there are fully 100 agents in the various provinces oi Japan, work ing up the lower class of Japs to raise $60 each to reach a land where they can make mme money in one venr than they could in Japan in a lifetime. ARREST lively Day OF at STRIKERS. the Dam. Croton Valley Croton Landing,'X. Y., April 21.— This was by far the liveliest day in and around Croton valley since the strike began, 17 days ago. The civil and mili tary authorities played a very im|>ort- ant part in the day’s proceedings, and ihe result is that now 26 Italians are behind prison bars awaiting examina tion on charges ^f inciting riot and with carrying weapons to inflict liodily injury. Sheriff Molloy, of Westchester county, secured 32 warrants for the ar rest of leaders of the strikers, and also search warrants for the houses in the Italian colonies where the la Imre r a live, from Judge Smith, at Sing Sing, last night. This fact became known last night, and more than 100 Italians fled from their homes during the night to avoid arrest. It was said today that fully 150 of the men who had struck for higher wages had gone to New York and Syracuse, where they have secured other places. The sheriff, with a posse of 25 depu ties, escorted by company D, of the 1-eventh regiment, arrived at the Bow ery about 9 o’clock, where they imme diately began a thorough search of the houses for weapons and ammunition, and whenever they came across a per son for whom they had a warrant, they placed him under arrest. There was not the slightest resistance made except by one man. In the Bowery, nine prisoners were crtptured. The sheriff then went to the other side of the river and scoured the houses on top gf the bill and in little Italy. In this round-up. which lasted nearly four hours, 16 prisoners were captured. Many of the most peaceful of the striking Italians are leaving town to seek woik elsewhere. At 8 o’clock this morning work was resumed the same as yesterday, but there were no more laborers on hand. Repairing the Bouton. Washington, April 20.—The lioard of survey in the case of the United States cruiser Boston has report"d to the navy department that the ship can be re paired at a cost of $175,000, or one- half of the original estimate, and the work has been ordered done at the Mare island navy-yard.

The total num tier of sheep to be al lowed ou the Mount Ranier forest re serve during the coming season, under the recent order of Secretary Hitch cock, will be 250,090. Thia number is practically the Bame as in previous years. Last year 260,000 were allow ed on the reserve. Cattle and horses are, also, to las al lowed on the reserve, the number of cattle being limited to 5,500 aud of horses to 1.000. These figures are based upon the number of cattle and horses that have beeu estimated as go ing on the reserve heretofore. Each man desiring the privilege of the range must make an application which, when approved by the depart ment, will entitle him to a certain part of the reserve. Each permit to graze will contain a qualifying clause, which provides that those accepting the permit will pay such charges, per head, for their anim als as the secretary of the 'interior may hereinafter decide. According to pre vious suggestions and recommenda tions, the secretary is expected to favor a charge of 2 to 4 cents per head for sheep and 10 to 12H cents per head for cattle and horses. The permits which are to b’ issued will prohibit Oregon sheep or cattle grazing on the reserves in Washington. There has beeu much complaint regard ing the invasion of Oregon Bheep and cattle in Washington, and it is now the purpose of the department to pre vent such invasion in the future and to reserve the grazing lands of Wash ington for th« sheep aud cattle men of tfiat state. Superintendent Shelter recommended that approximately 250,000 sheep be allowed to graze on the reserve this year. His actual figures were a little less than the number allowed by the secretary of the interior. Fabulous Wealth. The famous Helena mine, Bohemia district, Lane county, Or., which for a long time was restrained from opera tion through litigation, is now in full operation. The mill was started April 1. The first 30 hours’ run produced $7,090. It was generally known that that the Helena mine was a valuable property, but this remarkable showing goeH beyond the anticipations of every body except its owners. Mr. Jennings states that from the present develop ments they have ore in sight for two years’ work, and its value iuns very high. __ Prairie City Dlstrlet. Several rich strikes are reported from Prairie City, the new mining town at the head of the John Day.. Lon Cleaver, er, who is heavily interested in mining property in that section, telephoned his brother, E. E. Cleaver, of Portland, that half a dozen rich strikes have been made three miles from Prairie City. Another rich strike was made on Dixie Butte* mountain, six miles from Prairie City, of free gold, which was said to be very rich. The bare particulars of the strikes only, were telephoned and no details were given. Northwest Note«. Heppner. Or., is building a two mile bicycle path.

At Lostine, Or., a mill man adver tises “common rough lumber at $8.50 per M.” D. B. Hinton (“Uncle Ben”) an Ore gon pioneer, died in Crook county the 4th Inst., at the age of 60. Spokane expects to take in $20,000 this month and next from saloons. The license is $500 per year. Waterville, Wash., has granted a telephone company the right to erect poles within the town limits.

DeCann, member of the execu tive committee of the State Shingle Association, of Washington, states that the committee has decided to try to or ganize a close-down for two weeks, l>e- ginning April 80. The market for “clears” is strong, but "stars” are weak, and unless the output is curtail ed a break in the market is feared. N. N. Garvick, a German carpenter, who had $25 in money and a$200 draft in his pockets, started with three tramps to "beat” the railroad from Pendleton to Spokane. They took refuge in a box car. and when not far from Walla Walla Garvick waa attack ed by his companions, who took his watch money and draft, exchanged his clothes and shoes for poor ones, and then pitched him from the car. He had a long difficult time reaching Spo kane, and says he haa had enough tramping. IRON ANO STEEL LOWER. I Metal Market« Disturb Seraalty at th« Trade Sltuatloa. Bradstreet’s says: More rather the» less irregularity in the trade and pric* situation is to be noted this week, part ly in the result of weather conditions, but partly in the case of the iron anti steel trade because of the continuanew of those efforts in the friction of lower prices which have been such a feature of the iron aud Bteel trade of late. That the basis conditions of trade re main on the whole more favorable is, however, evidenced by a numlier of features. Railroad earnings continue heavy, and the decrease noted in bank clearings is chargeable largely to relig ious and other holiday observances, and to restricted stock speculation. It has been a weather market for the 1 cereals and most agricultural products, these advancing early this week, but weakening toward the close. Wool is weak, but there is rather more inquiry, and now, as one year ago, relatively highest prices rule at points of production. Backward weather conditions have affected the lumber trade demand but in this as in a number of other lines, the advanced prices demanded are cred ited with checking business. The pressure of heavy supplies is re sponsible for the slight weakening shown in the price of raw sugar this week, while the refined market re mains unchanged. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregated 3,898,945 bush- eles, against 2,896,653 bushels last week. Business failures in the United States for the week number 161 against 152 last week. Failures in Canada for the week number 19, as copmared with 35 last week. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Beattie Market«.
