ty-eight, was found dead on the door
steps of st. Josephs academy at

twelve hours before, after leaving St.

believed she was taken i'll while pass

was frozen and had turned black, in

California Assembly Rejects the
Drew Measure.
AROUSED STRONG OPPOSITION
Feared 1t Might Jeopardizs Rela.
tions With Japan.

Sacramento, CAL, Feb. 4.-After .
debate lasting several hours the as
sembly by vote of 4s to % rejected
the bill drawn by A. M. Drew. barring
aliens from ownership of land in Cali
foruia. The bill has been amended
at the request of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root SO that the clause
applying it to Japanese only was
eliminated, making the bill apply to
all aliens. but the measure aroused
such storm of opposition that long
before the debate was closed by Mr..
Drew it was apparent that the meals-
ure you'd be defeated.
In substance the objection to it was
that it would drive at least a billion
dollars of foreign capital out of the
state and might jeopardize the present
friendly commercial relations with
Japan.
The supporters of the bill contended
that the state was being overrun by
thrifty Japanese, who were gradually
gaining an impregnable position as
landowners and whose government
was trying to dictate to California re-
garding legislation.
The result of the days contest is
considered a fair test of the relative
strength of the two factions in the
assembly ed as foreshadoWing the
defeat of al! measures that would tend
to embarra =: national government
i'm its relations With Japan.
Sensational Speeches Made.
Two sensational speeches were
made, one for and one against the
measure. Assemblyman Grove John
son of Sacramento, ex-congressman
and author of four bills segregating
Japanese in schools and residential
districts and preventing aliens being
members of corporations, made an i'm
passionate appeal for the enactment
of the Drew bill At the climax OF
his speech he walked backward from
his seat to the lobby rail, and, selZlng
in his arms a golden haired girl of
three, held her aloft and declared that
he was Gin favor of this as opposed to
the Japanese menace to our institu-
tions."
Nathan G. Cole of San Francisco,
who was elected at the endorsement
of the Union Labor party, opposed the
Drew bill on the ground that 1t was
in conflict with the state constitution;
that it was ininical to union labor
and that it was not favored by the ma
tional administration, which he said
was dealing with delicate problem
and should be supported by the peo-
pie of California.
Drao, tically confronting Assembly
man Drew, he said:
"If President Roosevelt should
throw open the doors of this assembly
chamber and laying his hand on your
shoulder, should request for reasons
of state that you withdraw this bill,
you, Mr.. Drew, as patriotic citizen
of the United States, would assent
without a murmer."

IRRIGATION WILL

EVERY FARM A RICH
MINE SAY WISE ONES
Call of the West Heard as Never
Before and Thousands Pre-
pare to Join HomeSteaderS'
Rush,

What has come over the resident of
the middle west cities and rural dis
trirts alike manifesting such interest
in farm homes in the far west north
west and southwest?
THAT city dweller welded to urban
life and looking upon everything out
sido of il as terra i%ncognita and not
worth while fails to understand it,
saws the Chicago Tribune. He appre-
ciates the rush of the Aver to the gold
ficlds of California, and he under
stands the Black Hills adVenturer in
the carly '70s. But as to the present
,,,eb for farm homes in that vast gen
eral section of the United states which
his primary geography, thirty years
,oo dismissed as the Great American
desert7-he is all at sea.
He isn't awake to the fact that in
The last half dozen years the farmer
has been e%ncroaching upon that Great
American Desert in Il to
make the geographer of a generation
ago ashamed of himself. He has over
looked that today. in the making OF
Dreparatfons for farming in a dozen
western states and territories, his W
national government is spending q gold
min a month in salaries wages OF
the reclamation service. He is ignor-
ant of the fact that every year the to-
tal value of crops harvested from re-
clamation lands makes the product OF
the famous Comstock mine lnslgnlil-
cant by comparison.
But the nerve racked, brain tired
man of the cities and the farm renter,
paving interest upon farm investments
in lands valued at 500 TO $500 an acre
in the middle west. has been more
awake to the something doing out
west. That old "call of the west again
has become as potent as it was in the
days of the gold fevers, only tina It IS
50 much less spectacular since the
passing Of the prairie schooner and the
substitution of the vestibuled railroad
train at homeseekers rates.
$500, 900. 900 for Water.
Back to the simple life in these
last few years has proved something
more than the philosophizing of a
dreamer. Just as. years ago, after
the gold rush to California, it suddenly
was discovered that the states wheat
crop was worth hundreds of thous-
ands more than the product OF It's
