A commission which made a study of the situation for over a year, has reported in favour of Japanese la bour in California, but under condi tional circumstances. It is found that the country needs at times the help, | agriculturally, that it cannot have. | Labour of a kind is searce, and there | is po hope of an improvement in this | respect without alien assistance. i The commission finds the Japanese (apt, industrious, clever and useful. It {finds that they have an ambition io rise in the world, to become managers and employers of men, and' when this passion takes possession of them they cease to be ideal labourers. It is not a new discovery. In British ¢ Colum- bia the contrast is presented between the Chinese and Japanese. The Chi- nese have no desire to become a force in the land. They are only sojourn- ers. They dig and delve and serve with the one object in view, of se- curing a competegey and then going back to China.

Representatives From Kingston and Seven Other Places Discussed the Question at Belleville----The Sey- mour Cosapany of Campbellford Ready to Supply. There was a conferesice of represen tatives of wight municipalifes at Belleville on Tuesday sfternoon, re garding the question of water power supply for each. A good deal of in- formation was gained, but nothing de- finite was done, as the represeniatives wish to learn much more. The object of the meeting was to try and come 10 a decision as to the best source of power supply, and to form a union of municipalities. It is hkely t an other conference will be held shortly to further consider the matter. These municipalities were represent ed at the meeting : Kingston, Picton, Trenton, Belleville, Brighton, Col: borne, Wellington and Cobeurg. The Kingston representatives were : Alds. Elliott and Harty, and Manager Fol ger, of the light, heat and power plant. It was figured that the eight muni cipalities would require 5,000 horse power, of which amount Kingston would = take 4,000, At pr ent this city uses only 1,200 horse power, but with a much.cheaper rate go offer, the city plant could find alr here for at ledlst 2,000 more horse power, At present it costs somewhere between $15 and 850 to manofactuce a horse power in Kingston. It is estimated that the city could be supplied for $30 a horse power from water falls. Dr. Philp, of Picton; stated that Hon. Adam Beck had promised thet if the municipalities of this distriet got together, the Ontario government would send engineers and surveyors to each place, and give estimates as to the cost that power could be supplied to each by the hydro-electric Soma. sion, It was then suggested that a union of the municipalities be formed at once. Ald. Elliott, of Kingston, ob- jected to this, as he claimed that the representatives shoul have much more inf§rmation than was at hand. It was finally decided to refer the ques tion to a sub-committee, Representatives of the two power companies in this district were then heard, Mr. Caldwell, for the Seymour company, of Campbelliord;, and J. A. Culverwell, for the Northumberland- Durham, company, of Port Hope. The Seymour company is at present in a position to deliver power to the amount eof 10,000 to 15,000 horse power. The other company has noth- ing in the immediate future to offer, except on paper. The Seyniour = com- pany develops its power from the Trent river. It has proposed a rate of $27 for Napanee and $25 for Picton. For the cement company at Point Anne, near - Belleville, it proposes a rate of $18 for 4,000 horse 'power, but of course the distance is only two or three miles, For Kingston, a rate of $30 would likely be given. "The option "seems to be, however, that it will be a long time before Kingston will get water power. Even if. it did get . power from any of the above companies, it would always be negessary to refain an auxiliary plant for operation - is case of aver dent. 7 OF, Hinchinbrooke Council, Parham, May 28.
