FITZGERALD

The present year is the most prosperous
in the city's history, and by 1908, the above
showing will look cheap.
The climate is the most healthful and the
soil produces wonderful crops, and the
prices of farm lands, in the new county OF
Ben Hill, will double in value within two
years. Fitzgerald is just becoming we'll
established on basis that guarantees a
safe investment for every property owner.
The next decade will witness more re-
markable transformation. There is prob

of mining camps and oil fields, that prom

years ago, it was in the dark corner of the
backwoods of the vast old county of Irwin,
remote from any raiIroad---a forest of pines
from which the turpentine was being ex-
tracted. the land was not cultivated, but
great forest trees stood where our homes

4 BAR TO TIE JAPANESE.

California House Passes a Bill Pre-
venting Aliens Holding Land.
scramento, Feb. 2S.-The lower
house of the State Legislature to-day
passed measure known as the ssAnti-
Alien Property Holding bill =
The measure is aimed at the Japan
ese and Chinese property owners in
this state and is intended to prevent
them from acquiring and owning pro-
perty for longer period than five
years. In urging the passage Of the
bill Assemblyman Drew stated that
since last Jan. one third of the pro-
perty transfers in Fresno had been
to japanese.
The bill provides that an alien who
does not become a citizen Of the United
states shall not hold title TO lands in
this State for more than i've years. If
within that time the alien does not
become a citizen the District Attorney
shall compel the sale of his lands or
houses.
japanese and Chinese are not spe-
ciacally named, but as they cannot
become citizens, the bill precludes
them from oyning property for more
than five years.
The measure also provides that no
contract, agreement, or lease of real
estate for longer period than one
year shall be made to any alien.
The impression is given out that if
the bill reaches the Governor he will
sign it.

that the United States circuit court

AAlERIc.N WHEAT TO RUSSIA.
Shipments to Starving Peasants
Across the Ba,dc While Graih
Flows From Black Sea Ports.

In the engagemeatSat Hamberg last
week of 100000 tons Of grain for
shipment ito the Russian Port OF
Libau, though it is conceded to have
been largely German rye, the grain
trade III New York believes there is
a large tonnage of American durum,
or &'Macaroni wheat. = During the
past few months an unprecedented
.quantity Of this class Of wheat, which
goes normally to the Mediterranean
ports, has been consigned to Antwerp
and Hamburg, and its eventual desti-
nation is believed to be the famine
stricken provinces of Northern and
Western Russia.
Eussia's exports of wheat during
the season of 1sOs-O7 have mounted
up to 62,22s.0oo bushels, which,
while comparing poorly with the pre-
.vsous years 1os,24s,0oO bushels, is
still one-hfth Of the worlds exports
during the same peiod, between July
1906, and Feb. 9, 1907. Notwith-
standing this large surplus crop, as
indicated in the export movement,
those who are familiar with condi-
tons in Russia predict that the en-
gagement OF 100000 tons, or about
100000 bushels, is only the fore
runner OF a still larger movement
eastward when the ice goes out Of
the Baltic ports in the spring. The
strange spectacle of Russia supply
ing one-ffth Of the worlds surplus Of
wheat from one corner of the en-
pre while another corner is actually
starving is explained by internal con-
ditions of trasportation, which make
it more expeditions, as well as more
economical, to bring in german rye
and American wheat at the north-
western ports Of the country while
ample grain to feed the starving mil
lions goes abroad from the southern
provinces by way of the Black Sea
and the Austrian ports. In the best
of seasons railroad transportation
across Russia from southeast to
northwest is inadequate, and during
this past winter the unusually heavy
snowfall has made the transportation
of the breadstufs from the full to
the distant lean provinces practically
out Of the question
