Tie present land values must increase
enormously. The history of California
will be repeated on every hand. The
desert sands at Riverside, the moment
they became orange groves jumped to
thousand dollars an acre. The San
Jose orchards are held at an equally
high price.
The man who invests few dollars
and few years and a few efforts in
town venture, truck farm, cotton,
cane or tobacco plantation, or fruit
orchard, while the new sections are still
in their youth, will certainly be able to
view the future with complacency long

REc-ioN OF EMPEROR.

Tokyo, Japan, July 21.--Prince Ito,
the retiring resident-general of Korea.
made a triumphal entry into Toxic
yesterday forenoon, being received
with royal honors. The Ae9 Japanese
Korean agreement, which will be made
public today, briefly stipulates that
the Judiciary and prison departments
of Korea are to be turned over to
Japan, which will engage duly quail
fed Japanese and Koreans to fill the
offices in the two departments. With
some specified exceptions, the Korean
law will be applied to Koreans. Japan
will bear all the expenses of the judi
ciary and the prison establishment.
The, abolition of the Korean war of
fee is regarded as inevitable under
the circumstances.
Privy Council Meets Today.
Prince Ito, who has just returned
from Korea, will preside today for the
first time at a meeting of the priyy
council. of which he was recently APP
pointed president by the emperor.
There is reason to believe That the
pending questions between Japan and
China, which are causing increased
tension, will receive the first consider
alton of Prince Ito and the council.
The prince was received in Toxic
with unusual honors. given at the ex-
press command of tn emperor. The

Prince Ito said that the situation in
Korea was hopeful and that there was
no reason to expect any serious OPP
position to the change in the Judicial
system provided for in a convention
between Korea and Japan, which is
supposed to have been the purpose of
Ito's recent mission to Seoul. The
change I'm the judicial system in Ko-

sity. but would not change the policy
of Japan toward Korea The conven-

that the withdrawal of the proposal

China now proposes wholly mae-
eeptable terms and refuses to reply

BITE OF LAZY BUG
FATAL TO SOUTH
SURGEON GENERAL ToRNEY
RLAMEs WORM FOR TIRED
FEELING IN DIXIE.

Washington, July .21.--That the
prevalence of incidence in the south
ern states, not only among negroes
but among white persons, is directly
traceable to the bite of the lazy
bug more politely known as the
hook worm and bearing the scientific
name of uncinariasis, will be the de-
claration made in the forthcoming re-
port of the surgeon general of the
United States army.
Facts to be set forth in the report
are expected to lead to a widespread
campaign against the lazy bug" the
bite of which, it is claimed. has no
other effect on the victim than to
overpower him with lassitude.
Surgeon General Torney has been
investigating the "lazy bug" question
in connection with the physical exam
ination of army recruits. The para
site first appeared in Porto Rico and
until the present time there has been
no suggestion that it infested any por-
ton of the United States.
The investigation by General Tor
ney has been progressing quietly for
seven months. 1t was found that of
140 southern army recruits passing
through the army depot at Fort Slo-
cum, New York. 100 were infected
with the parasite. Vest Virginia, vir-
ginia, North Carr Ina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Ten
nessee all supplied recruits that were
infected.
After being treated all of the infect
ed soldiers gained in weight and i'm
proved in physical condition gener-
ally.
