struction and for the best seed An
other man. one OF the largest wheat
farmers in Gillian county. is to put in

Paris = The navigation department
of the French government declares
that the present French laws regard
ing lifesaving appliances are so much
more rigorous than those of other ma
tions that some of the French shipping
companies have made complaint. The
government inspectors rigidly enforce
strict observation of the regulations
and the law of 1908 forces steamers to
carry lifeboats and RATS in proportion
to their tonnage and passengers. In
cases of steamers with watertight
compartments the law is less strict.

San Francisco = Criticism of DIR.
David Starr Jordan, president of STAN
ford university, is contained in the re-
port of the executive committee of the
Asiatic Exclusion league. The league
takes issue with DIR. Jordan on his at
titude toward Japanese immigration
as expressed in recently published
article. In part the report says:
at is stated that there is a great
demand for japanese labor among the
ranchers of California, white labor
not being adequate The
trouble with the ranchers of Califor-
MIA is that they seek labor that will
work for a season while the harvest
is on, for moderate salary, and when
the harvest is over these ranchers
have no concern as to how these peo-
pie shall be supported for the rest Of
the year."
Although the Japanese government
has refused passports to unskilled la.
borers since 1899, the report says that
Japanese Gin large numbers are sur.
reptitiously coming in through Mexico
and Canada and their population or
the Pacific Coast is being constantly

Fourth Chinaman Wounded in Battle
at Salinas, Cal.

Salinas, Cal. = Five highbinders
broke into a room here where four
Chinese were playing cards, shot three
of them dead, wounded the fourth SER
iously and escaped. Murdered and
murderers are alike unidentified. The
wounded man will make no statement.
From the fact that none of the COM
batants is known here, it is supposed
that all of them were tong warriors
planning a raid on marked men, but
that the second party, having learned
the errand of the first, tracked them
to the room where they were hiding,
and shot them down.
The police believe both parties come
either from San Francisco or Watson
