and it is therefore not known the
exact phase the case will assume
when taken before the courts. That
intense interest in the matter is taken
not only in California but through
out the entire Pacific coast is yery
evident here, and it is probable that
the administration realizes that ii

relation between the japanese and

II the president had read the

published last September, on the
Japanese in Hawaii, it is very pro-
bable that he would have hesitated
to suggest the naturalization of these
Asiatics. Hawaii has the Japanese
problem to dispose of, and appear
ances seem to show that it must be
disposed of soon. Here, as would
later be the case in California and
the Pacific coast states, the industrial
proposition is by NO means the sole
one or the most, important. The
political feature of Japanese i'm
migration is fast coming to the front
in Hawaii as 1t would wherever
Japanese are in large numbers, parti-
cularly should they be granted the
privilege of naturalization. In the
report referred to it is pointed out
that in Hawaii the native born Japan

rapidly than any other nationality,
and the power and influence of Hthe
Asiatic population is growing more
rapidly than its numbers. So that,

There has arisen wide demand that
the product of California quarries be
used in the construction of govern
ment buildings in California. That
We have building material of first
quality, and in abundance, is we'll
known, and that marble, granite,
sandstone or other material should
be brought from other states to erect
federal buildings is a matter for
Legitimate comment. But is pointed
out by the federal authorities that
such buildings are erected under
contract, and that the lowest bidders
get the work. Marble, granite, ETC.,
therefore, come under the bids, and
if the material comes from without
the state it is because the owners of
California quarlies have failed to
make their prices low enough. 1t
would therefore seem that the whole
matter rests with the California pro-
ducers.
The announcement that an expert
from the department of agriculture
would visit California this winter to
look into the chances for succsessfui
tobacco culture in that state has
aroused wide interest and different
locations are putting forth claims to
official notice. 1t is probable that
there are many widely separated areas
where fine tobacco can be grown, and
it Is to be hoped that this is true.
The expert will undoub btedly examine
all localities brought to his notice, if
not too many for careful study. At
all events, no region having reason
able prospects will be neglected.
A short time ago the irrigation COM
mittee of the klamath chamber OF
commerce wrote to Senator Perkins
regarding the chances of the Rearly
and economic completion of the
Klamath irrigation project. The
matter was placed before the secretary
of the interior, who states that the
din ector of the geological survey has
referred the matter to the supervis-
Ing engineer in charge of the pro-
ject, with directions to report.
AS this letter is being sent out it is
learned that Mr. John Railey Stewart.
department of agriculture expert in
tobacco raising, will start for Cali
fornia tonight on his mission in
connection with tobacco raising in
California. Mr. Stewart has for many
years given tobacco culture in the
Connecticut valley very close study,
and is thoroughly familiar with all
methods of cultivation, soils, curing,
etc. He is deeply interested in his
new work in California, and hopes to
be able to demonstrate the ability of
the state to produce tobacco of first
quality.
