Big Timber
Deal
Immense Area of Hardwood
Stumpaee in Scott and
Wise Counties. Sold

Charles f. Hagan, of this
city, as trustee of the huge es
tate Of his father, Patrich Hag-
an, has just sold an immense
boundary of hardwood timber
lying in Scott aud Wise Coun-
ties, 10 the Clinchland Timber
Cooperation. The tract CON
tains 23,l52 acres and is in
Powellis Mountain.
The consideration for n e
large area was $3.50, 900. The
Ciinchland Timber Corporation
was representedby the purchase
by Attorney II. late Irvine, of
Big Stone Gap.
The Dungannon Lumber
Company viii develop section
of the tract and has already in
stalled mills for this purpose.
The other may be developed by
the Clinchland Company or sold
to lumber operators.
The deed carries only the title
to the timber on the land which
is rich in coal. 1t is one of the
huge boundaries of timber in
that section purchased many
years ago by Patrick Hagan
and is said to be the largest
solid boundary of virgin hard
wood timber east of Mississippi
1t extends for thirteen miles
along the railroad and is easily
accessible for logging. TIL e
elder MIR. Hagan owned a large
part of Southwest Virginia am
still has extensive holdings in
coal and timber lands. Some
time ago he decided to retire
from business and appointed
his son Charles f. Hagan as
trustee, to have full control of
his large estate.
Rich Coal Deposits.
Reports by chemists on the
coal on the above mentioned
tract show that it is of a very
high quality, both for domestic
and steam purposes, as well as
for coke manufactures. 1t ia
probable that steps looking to
the mining of the coal on the
property will b taken at an
early date. An analysis OF the
coal, Just made by the Institute
of Industrial Research, lat Wash.
ington, ID. c., shows that il is
superior to the famous Connelis-
vile coal. IL is situated on the
Caroline, ClinchIield and Ohio
railroad.
The deeds incident to the
transfer of the timber of the
huge tract have just been re-
corded. The financial matters
in connection with the deal
were handled through the Bank
of Bristol, an institution in
which Patrick Hagan and his
son Charles Il, Hagan have
been heavily interested since
its organization. Bristol Her

amount to? The japanese have been ad-

and there is no law or statute that pro-
hibits the japanese from becoming citi-

"An this controversy proceeds from
ignorance or misunderstanding Of the
law because a judge of the District Court
of the United States in Massachusetts
read into the Chinese exclusion act OF
1892 that a Chinaman is a Mongolian and
that a Japanese is a MongOian and there
fore should be excluded from citizenship
This was his decision in the Sito case OF
1895
Ten years aftcrward Judge MaXey OF
the United States District Court Of Texas
rebuked Judge Sawyer for that decision.
Judge MaXey had TO decide whether or
not under the naturalization laws MeXi-
cans could. be admitted into citizenship.
The law, he said, admitted whites ana
Africans. and the only race excluded by
special statute was the Chinese. Since
the Mexicans. like the japanese, are not
Chinese. he ruled that they must be adj
mitted TO citizenship. provided they ful-
filed in other ways the necessary quail

hedged citizenship in federal or state
courts in Indiana Florida, Arizona. Cali

JAPANESE citizen OF the United
n States, Few Americans realize that
"A such an Individual is a reality. yet
there are more than a score of them in
this country a dozen OF whom live quietly
in New York City. One Of them is the
distinguished international lawyer. author
and editor Masuji Miyakawa. who holds
the degrees Of Ill. ID. from Indiana State
University and u. c. L. from the Uni
yerslty Of Paris. DR. Miyakawa was chief
counsel for the japanese in the famous
school controversy i'm California and coun-
sci for Japan in the Boring Sea seal con
troversy. He does not see much Of a
problem in the contemplated anti-allen
land owning law I'm California, in so FAR
as the japanese are concerned.
What If they do pass the bill" said
Or Miyskawa. Governor Johnson. in
recent statement, says:
Admittedly, California has right to
PASS an alien land bill. No one suggests
that such a bill should i'm terms describe
The japanese. IL has been suggested that
such law in California shall follow the
distinctions which are already an unpro-
tested part Of the law and policy of the
United States.
"'The constitution Of California since
1872 has said that the presence Of for
eigners ineligible to become citizens is
declared TO be dangerous to the wellbeing
Of the state. and the Legislature shall
discourage their immigration by all
means in its power The alien land law
Of the State OF Washington provides that
any alien except such as by the laws of
the United States are incapable of be
coming citizens Of the United States may
acquire and hold land" etc. The State of
Arizona in 1912 enacted that mo person
not eligible to become a citizen of the
United States shall acquire title to any
land or real property" etc.
No protest was made against this
policy Of the laws of the United states
nor against it's adoption into the laws Of

the Fart Of the federal government over
this phase of the situation may be judged
by the fact that the Bureau of NATURAL
zation in Washington sent out circulars
in 1911 to all the district courts of tho
United States and to the state courts IN
which naturalization papers may be
granted instructing them not To issue
citizenship papers TO japanese without
communicating with that bureau. Last

Under the reading OF the present nat
uralization law this country cannot ex-
clude the japanese on the suppositlon
that they are neither white nor African,
for at present the highest authorities In
ethnology in Europe and America list
the japanese as 'Allophyllian,' branch
Of the great white race which consisted
OF Allophyllian. Finnic. Semitic and
Hamitic.
THE japanese trace their ancient origin
10 the people OF the plains OF the Nile, OF
the Tigris, the Euphrates and OF the In
dus. These plains. if not the cradle OF
the human race. were at least the cradle
OF human civilization They believe that
the Reconsideration of these ancient CIV
nzations is amply proved by chronological
and archaeological facts.

So is the fact unmistakable that the
Enthusiastically progressive current or
the Semitic and Hamitic civilizations and
races reached the shores OF Japan before
the Christian era. That the fittest sur
vived there can be no doubt.
Now, all this problem about the Jap
anese IN California is no problem at all.
or course, the Japanese are partly TO
blame for making it seem to be a prob
lem. Instead of afiliaung with the
Americans they have kept by themselves.
They are naturally exclusive. They have
their own institutions, their newspapers
and their interests and they have not
assmilated as much OF the American
spirit as they might have.

the japanese papers published In CALI

San Francisco. one In Fresno, two In Los
Angeles and one in Sacramento One
page OF these papers is usually devoted to
foreign dispatches and the rest to Japan
news. But, even so. why all this discus
sion about them?
There are only 5000 japanese In the
whole State OF California, which numbers
2.377.5l9 people. Since the school question
came up and gave vent TO so much race
prejudice. the emigration of japanese
from California has been notable. In 1873
