Fronrv iDer%Ior P Gf%s THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY {The jollowing story tvas related to me by my grandfather who migrated to this country from Japan a few years before the Spanish-American War — about forty years ago.) America! California! Those words to me were synonymous with paradise or the best land there ever could be, said grandfather as he brooded over his first thoughts of this country. Japan is beautiful, but as it was getting overpopulated, I felt that I preferred to expatriate myself and my family and go to America, the land of opportunities. On second thought, I thotight that it would be wiser to go by myself and leave my family at home. At last I reached San Francisco, handicapped by my unfamiliaritv with the language and customs of this country. I was overjoyed to find an unexpected friend to g-eet me at the pier. He persuaded me to go to Salinas with him where he was the foreman of a ranch. It was winter, and the only job that one could get was as a wood-chopper. The days were cold, but how the sweat dropped from our brows. We were paid piece-wages; consequently we worked as hard as we could. At the end of the day, we estimated our earnings and found them to be about a dollar. On the following days we worked harder to make our earnings larger, but they were practically the same as those of the day before. We would be in despair, and big drops of tears would roll down our cheeks. At that time, a laborer who earned enough to buy his clothes for the coming summer was considered to be a very good worker. One day a man was very sick, and as we could not find the hospital, we inquired of a man, ' By and by sick man all right house.? ' He gave us a puzzled look, and then his face beamed. ' Come with me, ' he said grinning broadly. All of us laughed. How proud we felt to be able to talk English so that we could be understood. During the next few years, I went to Los Angeles and places along the coaft. When grandmother firsl came to California, it was several weeks before she could wear western clothes in a presentable manner. She had to put them carefully on the back of a chair just as she took them off. In the morning, she put them on from the top of the pile. One who has experienced starting life anew in a new country can never forget it. In spite of all the difficulties, in spite of all the unfavorable conditions, it is a grand and glorious feeling to survey my paft experiences and be wiser for every failure that I have made. My firft impressions of this vaft country have not changed nor have they dimmed through all the years. In fad:, in some respetfts California has surpassed my expedations. . • Haruko Oh. ma 2i
