GOV. G|[[ETT
ASKS FOR DELAY
TELLS CALIFORNIA LEGISLA-
TURE THAT PRESIDENT HOPES
FOR NO HASTY OR RADICAL
JAPANESE LEGISLATION.
(By Associated Press.)

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-Governor
Gillett sent the following SPECIAL mes
sage concerning Japanese legislation
to the senate and assembly today:
Gentlemen: Believing that there
should be further and more careful
consideration of assembly bill No. IA,
which provides that the boards of
school trustees shall have power to
establish separate schools for chill
dren of Japanese, that thereafter
they shall not be admitted to any
other public schools, and further be-
lieving that the enactment of provi-
sions of said bill will at this time
affect the interests of the entire ma
ton and perhaps seriously, I most
respectfully request you to reconsider
the vote by which said bill was pass
ed and take the matter up for fur
Their most careful consideration.
Within few hours after the passage
of said bill, the president of the
United States, alarmed at possible
such law, sent me telegram con-
tanning the following language:
This is the most offensive bill of all,
and in my judgment is clearly I'M
constitutional, and we shall at once
have to test it in the courts. Can
that not be stopped in the legislature
or by veto?' A telegram so forcible
as this, coming from the president, is
entitled to full consideration and de-
manis that no hasty or ill-considered
action be taken by this state, which
may involve the whole country"
The governor asks that the senti-
ment and personal opinion and con-
sideration be laid aside and that the
interests of the state and nation be
considered. The leading opponents
of the anti-Japanese legislation do
not believe they can secure the neces-
sary number of votes for a recon-
sideration.
The assembly unanimously voted
to postpone further action on the
japanese school segregation bill I'M
til next Wednesday, In the mean
timetime the bill bearing upon the
existing treaty between the United
States and JaDan will ha eyaminod
into.

SAYS THAT THERE WILL BE
LOTS OF PEACHES IN THE VAL
LEY THIS SEASON-SAVE SOME
WORK OF THINNING.

Alex Pitcher raised peaches in this
valley before great many of the
now prosperous fruit growers had
even heard of the Wenatchee valley
and he says that Wenatchee has
never had a failure in the fruit crop
There have been some years when it
looked dubious and certain sections
were injured, but there always has
been a fine crop Of peaches as well
as the other fruit. When asked this
morning about the reported injury to
peaches, Mr.. Pitcher stated that he
had examined a number of peach
trees in his yard as we'll as in other
sections of the valley and he states
that there are going to be peaches
here next fall. He says that the cold
killed some of the buds, but this
simply saves some Of the work OF
thinning next summer. There will
still be the work Of thinning to do,
but the freezing weather caught some
of the buds and the grower has been
saved some of the work He states
that it is still too early to determine
fully the extent of the damage TO
the fruit buds, but he is willing to
wager that the peach crop of the
valley will be an enormous item next
summer and predicts unusually high
prices for the coming season.
III. S. Simmons makes the state
ment that the peaches have been sad
lys injured and AR. Pitcher was told
of this statement. Mr.. Pitcher an
swers thu statement of Mr. Simmons
by elat:A~ little story told on that
gentleman several years ago. There
was an early spring and then a cold
spell after the buds had begun to
swell. Mr.. Simmons prophesied the
complete loss of the peach crop. He
said that there was not a live bud
on his trees. To certain fruit
grower friend of his who came to see
him he told of his loss. The friend
laughed at him and told him that
he was mistaken. Later on he re-
peated the story of his loss to the
same friend. During the early part
of the fall he met this friend while
coming to town with load of
peaches. The friend said to him,
Simmons, what are you loaded

reference to and only answered, "You

tentative feature.

a tentative feature.
The main object appears to be to
teach Thurston county and Olympia
a lesson. The threat to remove the
capitol from Olympia has always
been a club over the men who rep
resent Thurston county, but none
has ever reached the obnoxious pre-
eminence of Senator Ruth.
Ruth organized the senate, and Or
ganized against some of his friends.
He played Indian" and has contiuu-
ed these tactics trying to block at
every step local option, the race track
bill and all progressive measures. As
the presiding member, he has CALLED
the progressive members on the floor
beyond endurance, and they are
about to retaliate
If Olympia should ever be in dam
ger of losing the capitol by reason
of Ruth's activities, he would he re-
tired to private life so suddenly that
it would blister him. Olympia minus
the capitol would be a sorry specta-
Gle, and none know it better than the
residents Of Thurston county.
When the bill to appoint this COM
mission is sent in it will be notice
to Thurston county that Senator
Ruth has to be good Ruth will either
experience a change of heart or make
a fight for it, and if he fights, 1t will
be not only for his political life, but
the financial life of Olympia.

For the past two years J. j.
Browne, president of the Columbia
Valley bank of this city, has been
persistently advocating the advis-
ability of removing the state capitol
from Olympia and locating it some
place on the Sound, midway between
Seattle and Tacoma. He has had
several talks with Governor Mead re-
garding this change and has talked
his plan over with other influen tial
men of the state. The following
press dispatch from Olympia indi-
Gates that his agitation along this
line is bearing fruit:
Olympia, Feb. 5.-To take the
capitol from Olympia and set it down
on a spot on Puget Sound between
Seattle and Tacoma is the program
of a coterie OF senate and house
members. 1t is quite likely that
within a few days bill will be intro
duced in either house, in structing
the governor to appoint commission
for the purpose of studying the ques-
ton. selecting a site and reporting
at the next session of the legislature.
The new capital city, according to
the gentlemen behind this plan, will
be in a district by itself, similar to
the District of Columbia, and will
have that form of government. This
will take the capital out of politics.
Different persons in the past have
advanced many reasons for the re-
moval of the capitol from Olympia,
and the actions of President Ruth
of the senate, a member from Thurs
ton county, has crystalized this AMI
mostly towards Olympia to the point
OF definite action.
1t is also part. of the general
scheme IL this plan is adopted to
work to bring all the state institu-
lions to this new district, including
penitentiary, reform schools, insane
asylums. ETC. This. however. is only

question was a special number and
contained quite an extended write
up of the business interests of the
city. 1t is very interesting reading
from the fact that a number of the
citizens mentioned in the paper Of
sixteen years ago are still here and
some of them still in business.

from number of the write-ups to be
found in this interesting paper:
PIN an interview with John Duri-
euk. an expert vinyardist from the
famous Macon wine district in
France, now a resident of this city,
he states to a reporter of the Ad-
vance that after a careful observa-
ton of the country surrounding the
city he does not hesitate to prophesy
that in a few years wines will be pro-
duced in the Wenatchee valley equal
to the famous red wines that have
made the district of Macon, his birth
place, famous throughout the civil
ICED world. His reasons for believ-
ing that this observation will come
to pass is the similarity and soil, to-
