1. w. w. STRIKE FIZZLE.
Coos County Sees No Business Tieup
and AgitatOrs Quit Country.

Marshfield, Ore, May 19.-From
every indication the |. w. W. strike
in Coos county is sizzling out with
out having been marked by any trou-
BILE or business tie-up that would in
dicate strike was in progress here.
All logging camps are in operation,
some with slightly reduced forces.
A few scattering punches of l. w. W..
have been circulating among the
camps in futile effort to get others
to go out. Three or four leaders
were brought in from Spokane and
threatened to attempt to revive street
trouble here, but it is said that they
were informed that instead of being
arrested and sent to jail they would
be given ducking in the bay. They
did not appear on the street for any
speech-making.
Many of the |. w. WIS are report
ed to be leaving and it is thought
that the next few weeks will see the
disappearance Of the last of them
from this community.

THE JAP DISPUTE MAY GO TO COURTS
PROBABILITIES THAT JAPANESE DISPUTE WILL Be SENT TO COURT
FOR DECISION ON ANTLALIEN LAND LAW

of Japan, who is here with three dis
tinguished conferees to observe the
California situation and advise To-
kio on the anti-alien sentiment
which has crystallized into deter
mination throughout the state that
aliens ineligible to citizenship must
not be allowed to occupy agricul-
tural lands. The three men accom-
panying Mr.. Hattori are E. Ebara.
of the Japanese house of peers; DR..
K. lbuka, of the Japanese Presby-
terian college of Toxic, and X. Yam
ammato, secretary of the Toxic Ys
NJ c. A.
Japan must have an outlet" said
Hattori in discussing Japanese immi-
grafton to California. "The popula-
ton of Japan as increased by many
hundreds of thousands within a few
years and the time has come when
japan must settle the questions pre-
sented by your alien land law. The
question of Japanese eligibility to
citizenship in America and every
other country must also be settled
1t should have been settled long
ago"
The Japanese envoy derided all
talk of war II do not believe it is
a remote possibility" he said. Such
talk is foolish"
Hattori declared that race preju-
dice was at the bottom of the Cali
fornia exclusion movement 81 be-
lieve," he said, that in time Cali
fornia will be able to throw off
this race prejudice as Japan has
done. This alien land law was pro-
NOTED by people of the descendants
of people who came to this country
just as the Japanese are doing. |
am convinced that the only solution
of the problem is new treaty cover
ing all the points in dispute.
Il am not prepared to say whether
Japan will insist upon ownership OF
agricultural land, but no country
can, of course, view discrimination
with philosophy"
| At the conclusion of their visit t
California the party of Japanese en-
voys- will go to Lake Mohonk, ~ Y.

IT is ASHLAND CREEK.
Name of the Stream is Officially Set
tied.

The stream running through the
city of Ashland and adding much to
its beauty is Ashland creek by Of
ficial order of the city dads, despite
the belief of Recorder Gillette that
it should be designated by the name
of Mill creek. In the minutes of the
city council of a recent session the
recorder referred to it as Mill creek,
and when Councilman Beaver on
Tuesday night asked by what au-
thority it was so called Recorder Gil
lette ceuntered by asking by what
authority it had been changed from
Mill creek, its ancient name, to Ash
land creek. AS it had been Ashland
creek during the entire knowledge
of the members of the council, none
of whom have been residents of the
county as long as has the recorder,
there was no answer forthcoming,
but nevertheless Councilman Cum
ningham moved that the minutes be
corrected to read Ashland creek and
the motion was carried, all voting
aye.
AS side light it might be inter-
esting to know that deeds made and
recorded as long ago as 1889, or
about the time the city was incorpo-
rated, refer to it as Ashland creek.

other property owners on Vista
street, asking. that the street be
graded, was referred to the street
committee with instructions to re-
port with estimate of the cost.
A petition to erect a barn from
Mr.. Hadfield was referred to the san
itary committee.
A petition from the pastor and Of
ficials of the Congregational church
and others, asking that the water
which stands at the head of Fourth
street be drained off, caused some
broad smiles when the street COM
missioner stated that he had investi-
gated and that the water came from
the basement of the Congregational
parsonage. The matter was referred
to the street committee.
E. E. Phipps presented petition
to be allowed to place hitching racks
on the lots just north of the Shook

WILL AID THE LADIES
Council Votes City Funds to Assist
i'm Caring for Chautauqua
Park During Summer.

There was a petition from the La
dies, Chautauqua Park Club present
ed to the city council Tuesday even
ing which asked that body to appro-
pirate $50 per month for five months
for care of the Chautauqua Park.
Mrs. F. G. McWilliams addressed
the council, stating that the park was
owned by the Southern Oregon
Chautauqua Association and that the
association only used the park dur
ing ten days each year, and that it
was kept up the rest of the year for
the benefit of the general public.
They would, she said, appreciate the
assistance of the council in the ex-
pense of keeping it up.
Councilman Ashcraft moved that
the request be granted. Councilmen
Gowdy, Cunningham and Beaver
spoke in favor of the request.
Mr.. Enders, park commissioner
suggested that the park be turned
over to the park board to be cared
for. F. G. Billings and G. H. Gill
lette spoke in behalf of the ladies'
Mr.. Enders then suggested that the
hat should be passed rather thar
take city funds.
The motion to appropriate $3.50
for the Chautauqua Park Club was
then carried, all voting aye.

Washington, May 20.-Predictions
that the Acknowledgements land
dispute will be settled or that steps
will be taken in the courts to COM
pose the trouble before the Webb bill
becomes effective in August, were
freely made today by administration
leaders.
The cabinet today discussed the
situation brought to a crisis by Gov
ernor johnson signing the bill. Sec
retary Bryan reported the details of
his conference with Ambassador
Chinda, who this morning forwarded
the Administrations reply to Toxic.
Secretary Bryan also reported Chin
da's own personal views. 1t is be-
lieved that Ambassador Chinda has
presented a report favorably dis
posed toward the national govern
ment's action in the controversy.
Secretary Bryan believes that week
or more is likely to pass before To-
kio responds to Chinda's report
President Wilson and his advisors
are confident that the dispute will
never go to arbitration. His ad-
visors say that an arbitration COM
mission could only decide whether
the California bill violates the treaty
with Japan and that they could die
tate no settlement.
A test of the bill in the courts, or
a decision by the United States SUI
preme court as to whether Japanese
are eligible to citizenship, is believed
to be the likeliest solution of the diff
ficulty.
The cabinet today also considered
the question of race equality, which
may prove the principal hitch in a
settlement should Japan raise the
issue.

GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL
California Executive Declines TO
Wait Longer Before Action on
Alien Land Bill.

Sacramento, Cal, May 19.-Gov-
ernor Johnson signed the Webb
Birdsall anti-alien land bill shortly
before noon today. The law pre-
vents the ownership of agricultural
lands in California by Japanese or
other aliens ineligible to citizenship,
although it permits three-year lease
holds, which may be renewed by ro-
tation.
With the signing by the governor
of the anti-alien bill today Califor-
mia, despite threats of a diplomatic
breach with Japan and the most ur-
gent protests from the national ad-
ministration, has taken the final step
in enacting law to prevent the ac-
quisition of her agricultural lands
by Asiatics. The seal of the state
has been set to the policy of exclud-
ing from her lands aliens who are
non-assimilable.
In connection with his approval Of
the measure Governor Johnson had
little to say. He appeared to be far
more concerned about the threatened
calling of a referendum to suspend
the act, leaving the state without a
ba" against further acquisition of
lands by Japanese until November,
1914, than about the effect his action
might have in Washington or Toxic.
The governor declared that he
would send no official notification of
his action to Washington.
Il repeat what have said before, "
was Johnson's comment. "Califor-
mia for the first time has an anti
alien land act. Any one who wishes
another kind of law may consist
emily invoke the initiative.
mo man who really wishes an
anti-alien law will sign referendum
as to this law. If another law is
sought it may be presented by ini-
tiative petition, and in the meantime
the present act will be in operation.
ITO tie up the present law by ref
erendum means no low until Novem-
ber, 1914.
"Those who are sincere in theii
opposition to anti-alien law or who
believe the present act is not drastic
enough are consistent If they take
steps to invoke the initiative. But
the referendum would tie up the law
we now have, without putting any
thing in its place until 1914. leaving
the state open in the meantime to
colonization by the aliens against
whom this legislation is aimed"
Governor Johnson would not haz'
ard an opinion on what he expected
to be the result on the international
situation of his approval of the Webb
measure.

THE ROYAL OAKS"
Oakland Civic Organization May
Visit Our Locality.

The Royal Oaks" a civic organ
ization of boosters from Oakland,
Cal, are scheduled to pass through
here early in June, on their way to
attend the annual festivities of the
Portland Rose Festival. OF course
they come. on a special train, the
schedule of which is generally at the
disposal of eXcursionists. This being
the case, an invitation has been ex-
tended, in behalf of the local COM
mercial organization, to tarry here
a while and he shown about the sur
roundings of Ashland. Inasmuch as
this is division point, and further
more as Ashland is in reality the
gateway to rail transportation be-
tween Oregon and California, it is
especially appropriate that our neigh
bors to the south be extended what
ever courtesies we have to offer. The
visitors will arrive here all the way
from 300 to 500 strong, and it is
desired to greet them with enthusi-
asm commensurate with their numer-
ical strength and the prestige which
they enjoy as representing the pro-
gressive spirit of the Golden State.
Correspondence is now being ex-
changed with representatives of the
Royal Oaks" direct from their
headquarters at Oakland, and within
few days it is expected that more
particulars regarding this threat
ened Invasion" will be available.
