Best Fruit Land in World.
Horticulturists say that the Co.
lumbia valley has a combination of
soil and climate that will always
make it the best fruit land in the
world. 1t is especially adapted for
apple growing, and as soon as trans
portation facilities are improved,
which will be when a railroad is
built down the river bank, every acre
of irrigable land will be put under
the ditch and an immense area OF
fine fruit growing land will be devel-
oped in the northwest. For this rea-
son every irrigation project in the
Columbia valley is of Importance.
Increased transportation facilities
in the way Of river steam boats are
being added every year: A large
steam boat is now plying the Column
bia from Trinidad to the mouth OF
Crab creek, where the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul is building it's
bridge. This boat has the contract
for hauling all of the big structural
work for the bridge.

TO ENFORCE TREATY

Washington, Jan. Sit is learned
from trustworthy, but unofficial,
sources that the department Of justice
will very soon file in the United States
courts of San Francisco a bill in equity
asking the court to enforce the pro-
visions of the existing treaty between
the United States and Japan, which.
In effect, it is asserted, guarantees to
Japanese children the same rights in
the public schools of the United States
as are accorded to children of Ameri-
can parents. 1t will be insisted that
the recent action of the San Franchises
school board in segregating Japanese
children is a violation of our treaty
with Japan, to which the school au
thorities are amenable.
