Look at the Jorchard districts now largely domi nated by Japanese, at blocks of 'thoumunds of acres now being colon lieed by them; note their increased ownership of land thru dummy cor | parations and native-born Japanese Junder guardians; see their increased lcontrol of the rice fields; consider the Imperial Valley; recall entire dis trictt In the fine residence portion of San Francisco and other cities from which the whites have been driven. Will we heed the lesson? In Oregon, a large tract of 11,000 acres has just been purchased by Japanese, on which thene people will concentrate for growth of garden truck, largely potatoes, A NATIONAL PROBLEM In Seattle, forty.seven per cent of aN hotels and lodging houses are owned by the Japanese, and a corre sponding number of restaurants garages, comminsion houses and small business enterprises. In the Hood River apple district of Oregon they have already secured |eontrol of a large percentage of the orchards. In Colorado they own practically the Rocky Ford melon business, with control of §5 per cent of the district and the crop. It whould be apparent to the tn telligent investigator that what has already happened tn Hawall is now taking place tm California: that un lene drastic remedies are at once ap- plied, existing conditions will in a comparatively short time produce here such results as are noted there that other favored sections of the Pacific coast states will suffer tn torn: and gradually, as the incoming yellow tide increases, first the mort favored districts of other states nrust succumb, and ultimately all desir able portions of all states, Everybody’s Going to the BARGAIN BASEMENT for i in the Bargain Basement. $3.50.

Plain Blacks and SHOP—LOWER “FINE AS SILK” Silk with its beautiful lustre, its rich colorings and its fine texture has for centuries been associated minds with luxury. And the phrase “Fine as silk” has become a by-word through that association. As a merchandising event, Silk Week at The Bon Marche is as fine as the fabric which it features. Its splen- did displays of Broad Silks and Silk Wearables demonstrate that Silk has lost none of its beauty, while Silk Week prices go far to prove that Silk is no longer a luxury.

These Koreans brought back with them four Chinese girls, who taught the art of silk weay- ing to the Japanese. And to their memory and skill was the temple at Setsu built, and it stands today as a guardian of the ever-increasing silk industry of the Orient. ee Bou Beauk Frat f= 5 —1 Carriage Robe at $1.95. 1 Carriage Robe at $3.50. —5 Pairs of Shoes, 75c pair. —5 Sweaters at $2.95. —8 Rompers at 95c. —8 Embroidered Pin Cush- —2 Dresses at § ions at 95e. —21 Bloomer —1 Vanta Gown at $1.25. .95. \\ ee \ —2 Silk and Wool Shirts, ompers at § at $2.25. oys’ Coats at 8 Ruben Shirts at $1.95. 2 Girls’ Coats at $12.50, WEDNESDAY SPECIALS FROM THE FOOD SHOPS Delicious White Rolls, 10c Dozen Outing Gowns at $1.50. 1 Girl’s Coat at $10.00, Wool Caps at 50c. 1 Girl’s Coat at $5.95.
