First Impressions

>'' I have been able only to make very
cursory examination of these bills, and
can only give you first Impressions It is
quite possible that. upon careful cOnSid-
Grafton other ideas might present them
selves. Senate bin Il. entitled an act to
prohibit alien ownership of lands IN the
state OF California This appears to apply
TO aliens generally. ana in that view IS
free from specific objection. except this.
The act provides tina. aliens shall have
rights as TO personal property as accorded
to citizens of the United States under the
laws OF the nation to which such alien be
longs OF by treaties with the United
States except as the same be affected by
the provisions of this act or the cunstitu-
ton of the state. This inyerts the ordsc
of authority IL IS settled beyond any pos
sibiiitv of doubt or question by repeated
decisions of the supreme court of the
United States that a treaty made in pllr-
suance of the constitution is controlling
as AGAINST inconsistent provisions OF either
the statutes OF the constitution of any
state That IS the expressed prs vision Of
the constitution of the United States un-
der which the state Of California was adj
mitted TO the union. The treaties between
the United States and considerable num-
Der of nations have reciprocal provisions
for reciprocal rights of alien citizens as
to holding real and personal property
at is perfectly well settled that the
making of such reciprocal provisions IS
within the treaty-naking power ana IL
stead OF aliens having in the state of Cal
ifornia such rights as are accorded 70
them by these treaties. except as they
/ may be affected by the provisions Of the
act or of the constitution of California
the precise reverse IS necessarily true
/ The proper statement would be that their

act. except as they are conferred and de-
ciared by the treaty. This general state

NEW TRIAL
JURY IN THIS CASE WE'RE OFT
YESTERDAY BUT ABOUT is
MINUTES-FIRST VOTE WAS
FOR CONVICTION.

The jury in the case of the State
VS.. Ludwig Myrberg was out but
about Is minutes yesterday after
noon, when the verdict of guilty was
agreed upon.
Under the instruction of the court
the jury could have brought in a ver-
dict of guilty of the crime as charged
or an attempt to commit the crime.
On the first vote there were nine for
conviction and three favoring a ver-
dict of an attempt to commit. On
the second vote the twelve men were
unanimous in the verdict, finding the
man guilty of the crime as charged.
Myrberg received the verdict with
an absolutely immovable counten-
ance. He apparently was as unmov-
able as were the men in the court
room. Through his attorneys, Grass
& Porter, he has moved for a new
trial. This motion will be argued in
the course of few days.

FORESTRY SERVICE
CONSERVATION

Portland, April 2S.-The forest
service is making a thorough study
of the utilization of the products of
the forest, and of the lumber and
wood-using industries and markets of
this district. In time a report will
be had from every considerable wood
manufacturing establishment in both
states. Each market is studied with
reference to the species found, the
use of the woods, the source of sup
ply, the distribution of the manufac-
tured wood products. prices and gen.
eral market conditions. These sta
tistics should be of decided value to
all wood users and should promote
the wisest and most economical util-
ization of forest products.

ELECT SENAT0RSBY
POPULAR VOTE
STATES DEMAND
THIS-IF FOUR MORE STATES
JOIN THE AMENDMENT MUST
BE SUBMITTED TO VOTERS.

Washington, d. c., April IS II
four more states, through their legis-
latures, demand the election of SEN
ators by direct vote of the people,
congress will be compelled to submit
a constitutional amendment to the
voters at the next general election.
The movement for popular elec-
tion of senators is sweeping the coun-
try. Twenty-seven states have fallen
into line with memorials, until now
only four more are needed to COM
plete the two-thirds. When these
take action congress must call con-
vention to draft the necessary amend
ment.
Among the states foremost in the
movement are Oregon, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Iowa, Illinois, Arkansas,
Wisconsin and Kansas.
The Iowa legislature recently pass
ed unanimously a resolution demand
ing the election of senators directly
by the people.
Sentiment in Iowa is particularly
strong because this state adopted the
direct primary, the nearest it can ge.
to the object aimed at withou,
change of the national constitution
and it has proved to be success.
Oregon got around the constitu-
ton and took extraordinary precau-
tions by adopting the famous State
ment No. /, pledging candidates for
the legislature to vote for the choice
of the people for senator, as express
ed in the direct primary.

ACRES To FRUIT
e. II. BIRD FORMERLY OF THIS
CITY BOUGHT LARGE TRACT
FROM MALAGA LAND COMPANY
AND WILL PLANT ORCHARD.

E. r. Bird, who formerly owned
the place on Castle Rock avenue, now
owned by L. G. Wise, has again in
vested in Wenatchee lands. He sold
out several years ago and has been
travelling for a Spokane wholesale
house. This morning he and asso-
ciates closed deal through the We
natchee Realty & Investment COM
pany for 90-acre tract of the NAL
aga Land company holdings. The
consideration was $4,000. This is
all raw land, but Mr. Bird expects
to have it broken up and as much of
it planted this spring as possible.
What is not planted this spring he
will have set to trees this coming
fall, and the plan of Mr.. Bird and
associates is to have model orchard.
The Wenatchee Realty & Invest
ment company report marvellous
sale of this Malaga tract There
were $40 acres in the original plat
and all but a very few tracts have
been sold, and strange as it may
seem, most of this land has gone to
local people. Outside of half dozen
of the small tracts local people have
taken in this land.
