routine tariff debate. members paid close
attention to Sisson's argument and his
speech was frequently interrupted with

Mr. Sisson discussed at length points OF
international law involved in the dispute
and declared that California was endeav-
oring to do only what Japan had already
done. III Japan now threatens us with
war, what would she do when millions
of her citizens have acquired land in our
country" he said. II lay down the
proposition that an alien population hold
ing land within our borders would be a
fixed and constant menace.
I'VE must preserve to the American
farmer the right to own the soil of our

which is unknown, broke out in Solomon
Bros clothing and dry goods store on
the southerly side of Sweden street, at
o'clock Sunday morning. The building
and stock will be total loss. The dam
age is estimated at $4,000. Solomon
Bros had s22,00 insurance.
The fire caught in small building In
rear of the store, which was used as a
storeroom. The firemen responded
promptly to the alarm, but the fire had
gained great Roadway, and it was impos-
sible for them to check the flames until
the buildings had been entirely consumed
The old Methodist church, now owned
by Farrell & Bearce, is some 10 feet away
from the Solomon Bros. store on the east
The outside of the church building
caught several times, but on each occa'
sion the flames were extinguished by
quick work on the part of the >firemen
The damage to the church is estimated
at $500. There was fortunately no wint
blowing or the fire would probably hav,
been a much more disastrous one.
