Economic News Gives US Stocks a Modest Bump
NEW YORK (AP) • Encouraging economic news pushed stocks higher Wednesday, although a slump in energy companies and utilities kept broader gains in check. Stocks climbed from the start of trading on news that U.S. exports rose in April and that hiring picked up in May. The buying followed a rise in overseas markets on hopes of a breakthrough in Greece’s talks with its creditors. By the end of the day, seven of 10 industry groups in the Standard and Poor’s 500 index rose. Utility stocks dropped 1.4 percent and energy companies fell 0.7 percent, along with the price of oil. The S&P 500 edged up 4.47 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,114.07. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 64.33 points, or 0.4 percent, to end at 18,076.27. The Nasdaq composite climbed 22.71 points, or 0.5 percent, to 5,099.23. The Federal Reserve said that a survey of business conditions showed that manufacturing held steady or increased in most parts of the country. A separate report from the Institute for Supply Management showed U.S. service firms grew in May at the slowest pace in a year. But any reading over 50 indicates that services firms are expanding. Investors are anxious for signs that U.S. growth is picking up, but not so much that the Fed will feel compelled to raise interest rates too fast and send stocks down sharply.

Mychel Matthews Hidden History
People “were pretty good to me,” he said, giving him food and asking no questions even though they suspected he was from a ship. He made his way to Seattle, where he took the first job offered to him — in a salmon cannery. Yamamoto worked numerous jobs over the next two years as he searched for a place to call home. He finally found that place on the Camas Prairie at Fairfield. Harry Geisler hired him to farm there in 1917. Meanwhile, Matsuyo Kanno was born in Idaho Falls. Her Issei parents, Yuki and Heiji Kanno, left Japan for Hawaii in the 1890s after their marriage. Yamamoto and Matsuyo, who took the name “Mary,” were married in 1931. Yamamoto purchased property in 1941 and began farming for himself. In December that year,

TIMES-NEWS FILE PHOTO
Jimmy Yamamoto, seen at age 83 in this 1981 photo, risked everything to enter the United States in 1915. the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. One of eight Kanno sisters, who lived on the West Coast, had to sell her fine furniture and move to an inland Japanese internment camp. The Yamamotos were spared that fate. Eventually, Congress passed legislation allowing people of Japanese birth to become U.S. citizens and Yamamoto became a citizen in 1953. He retired from farming in 1966 and the couple moved to Gooding. Yamamoto died in 1991.
Yamamoto was called “James” only in his obituary. His Japanese name is not known.

immy Yamamoto lied to his boss that night in 1915 when he said he was tired and needed to rest. Yamamoto, 18, had spent three years laboring on a Japanese ship while looking for a chance to slip undetected into the United States. Under immigration laws at the time, he could not legally enter the U.S. “I knew if I got caught, that was the end,” he told the Times-News 66 years later. “Immigration officials stood on the dock, making sure no Orientals left the ships.” When his ship docked at Tacoma, Wash., that night, he saw his chance to escape a life of poverty and start anew in America. Instead of going to his quarters to rest, Yamamoto, with no money and knowing little English, slid into the water and swam to a pier. Then, under the cover of darkness, he disappeared into the woods. Yamamoto had planned his daring escape well; he carried in his pockets several valuable silk handkerchiefs he could easily sell for American money.

WEATHER
Isolated and Scattered Showers and Storms
M
ore unsettled weather continues across Idaho the next several days. What makes a forecast like this so challenging is we know showers and a storm or two are possible each day we just don’t know when and where they form. Showers and storms will be scattered and isolated across our region. Most will take place in the afternoon and evening but a few days we could see showers and storms transition into the morning.
Brian Neudorff KMVT Meteorologist
What exactly do we mean when we say “isolated” or “scattered”? The analogy I like to use is this: imagine you have a handful of 5 to 8 marble, below you is a floor with a black and white checkered pattern on it. You drop those marbles on the floor and then try to predict on which squares below
each of those marbles will land. That is my definition of isolated. For scattered, imagine the same black and white checkered floor but this time instead of having a handful of marbles you have a bag of marbles and you dump the bag onto the floor. Again the challenge is trying to forecast exactly which square each marble lands on. It’s best to describe them as hit or miss because some will get rain and others will not. Some storms that form
could be strong but most won’t be. We could get heavy rain, some small hail and gusty winds. None of the days from Thursday into the weekend are rain outs, but scattered to isolated showers and storms are possible each and every day and most likely in the afternoon.
