ARIzONApAss ALIENLAND LAW
Governor Signs Bill Which Prohibits
Alien From Owning Land Ii He
Is Not a Citizen.

Phoenix, Ariz., May 16.-GoVernor
Hunt signed today Arizona's new
alien bill. 1t prohibits any a1en'
whether of Caucasian or Monaghan
descent from owning land in Arizona
if he has not declared his intention ol
becoming citizen.
The law bars not only As1atlcs'
who cannot become citizens, but also
many wealthy Mexicans WIN live on
the American side of the line' Dut
who have maintained their allegiance
to Mexico.
A vigorous fight was made to have
the bill apply only to aliens lnellglOle
to citizenship that Mexican holders OF
property in Arizona would not be al
fected. There are few japanese hold
ing property in the State, but many
Chinese hold titles and these, like the
non-citizens among the Mexicans Will
be required TO ulSpoSo VI 'H0
tate within five years.
The law exempts only mining CLAIMS
held by aliens or real property neces-
sary to the proper working OF mines
Representative japanese conferred
with the governor in an effort to in
duce him to veto the bill, but he de-
clined on the ground that such a law
was necessary in the interests OF the
white race. The governor added that
the law was made to apply to all aliens
in compliance with the wishes OF the
National administration as expressed
to the California legislature.

Surveyors Are At Work.

Spjartanburg Herald.
A surveying corps, thought to be
working under orders of the CHIEF
engineer of the Greenville, Spartan
burg and Anderson railway, have
been running lines from Saxon mills
in a south and southeasGerly direction.
The appearance of these surveyors has
occasioned considerable conjecture.
It has been advanced that line is
being mapped ont from Saxon Mills
to Roebuck for connection with the
Glenn Springs right of way to Glenn
Springs, and thence to a connection
with the seaboard Air Line at Pr+des.
"This appears to be reasonable,
said a business man this morning
"and it is probable" he continued
"that the Interurban has seen good
opening for further activities and are
availing themselves of it."
To those who are interested in the
grading of a line from Spartanburg
to Glenn Springs, thence to Cross
Anchor, this is encouraging news, Dut
ON the other hand there are many
who desire to see the line connect
with Glenn springS via Cedar
Springs and Walnut Grove. 1t is pos
sible that the line from Saxon TO
poobnck is one of several surveys
which will be made tending to the
building of this line.
