The Geary Law.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Su-
preme Court to- day affirmed the con-
stitutioDality of the Geary Chinese
Exclusion act in the case of Len Moon
Sing, the California Chinaman who
left this country and was refused adj
mission. Justice Harlan in the opini.
on said the State entrusted to a col
lector the power of passing upon the
facts. Len Moon Sing commended he
had acquired domicile as citizen of
the United States before the passage
Of the exclusion act. The Justice
said il the courts were to review the
decision Of collectors in such cases it
would bring great number of cases
before the courts and defeat the inten-
ton of Congress to have the law en-
forced by the legislative officers. The
only remedy of the appellant was an
appeal to the supreme office of col.
lector, the Secretary Of the Treasury
The Court refrained from expressing
an opinion as to the merits of the case
and the judgment Of the court below
denying the application for a writ was
affirmed. Justice Brewer dissented.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Rye on AliSaii Lands.

The Tulare Times has the follow
ing:
w. H. Harris, one of the big ranch
crs of this county, called mt the Times
Office Monday morning and said he
had some good news for the people of
this county:
@Last fall / got a sack and Il half of
rye which intended TO SOW on my
place. but was told that if did so I
could not get rid of it. There is
Frenchman who lives four and half
miles southwest of Goshen, in Kings
county, who has somo of the worst al
kali ground in the State. He heard
had the rye and wanted to try it on
the alkali ground. l consented, with
the understanding that he was to give
me half the crop. Yesterday 1 went
down to look at it, and was astonished
to see that the rye was standing four
and half feet There is good
stand and it will yield ton and
half to the acre. He drilled the seed
on four acres of land.
"The same day he sowed the rye he
sowed wheat ON land adjoining and of
the same kind, and the wheat is all
dead, There are no weeds even. This
is important to hog menefor there is
no grain as valuable to turn hogs on
as rye. We have lots Of alkali land,
and if we will grow rye like the piece
the Frenchman sowed this year, it will
mean great deal to the people of this
county"
Three years ago the writer sowed
rye on alkai land and it grew without
irrigation seven feet high. 1t did not
come up on the following year, as the
winter was wet and killed it out. The
next time was on high good land, and
for three years there has been good
growth Of rye, yielding three cuttings,
during the summer and seeding down
for the next year. No seed has been
sowed for three years, and the big
gest stand we have had is this years.
1t is now ready to cut. 1t does not
grow so high ON the land free from al
kali, but it seeds down and makes a
perpetual crop. Cut before the grain
is IN the milk, it makes fine feed 1t
will also grow without irrigation, but
water makes the leaves broad and the
yield larger. Nevada land is just the
thing for big rye crops.-Carson APP

go through the world determined

II you speak to them. you will

above them; they are always

greatest injury you can ialict

How to Spell Mesaba.

Chicago Tribune: In a group
of Cleveland and Duluth people
! interested in iron mining at the
Grand Poetic yesterday the talk
was ABOUT the development of
the Mesaba range.
How is 'Mesaba' spelled
now?" was asked by a Cleveland
man. There was an all-around
laugh.
1.-The fashion this winter is
Mlssabe,'' ~ said the president
Of the Duluth railroad. "We
have adopted it on our line."
II don't know how our official
spelling is" replied another rail
roader. THE name of our sta.
tion is spelled 'Mesaba,' aud the
name Of our steamer is 'Masaba.
On the charts the name is Ma
sabi.' Then there are 'Messa-
ba, 'Messabi' and 'Mesabe,' all
in use on official documents
through that region. I guess it
is the only word in the English
language which can be spelled
in all possible ways to get the
sound and have every one right
1t is an Indian word, and I sup
pose in a few years one way OF
spelling it will come into general
use and be accepted as correct.
l presume our forefathers had
the same trouble with many In
dian names which now go uude1
one recognized spelling"
