Mr. Furuya raised a pool of $25,000 from the Japanese merchants of this city in subscription, and has contributed liberally towards making the fair a sucess. He is at the head of a corporation which has stores in all the principal Coast cities, and is rated as a millionaire. It is said of Mr. Furuya that he has done more to cement the friendship of the Japanese and Americans in the Northwest than all the legislators in Washington and Tokio."
