WHITE RACE IS
SCORED BY JAPS

Toxic, Japan, May IA mass
meeting was held here today by as
sociations representing the business
and educational interests. Most of
the speakers condemned the irrespon-
sible war talk in connection with the
California situation and expressed
confidence that America would side
with the japanese if the Japanese
would steadfastly point out the un-
fairness of the discrimination. The
white race was scored for its treat
ment of other races, notably the ne
groes.
Representatives Teutako Hinata
and Keno Hayashi protested against
the discrimination shown by the
alien land ownership bill and con-
demned the lack of land and agricul-
tural clauses in the existing treaty.
They scored reckless agitators, charg-
ing that they merely were playing
the game of those seeking orders for
guns and warships.
Resolutions were then adopted de-
claring that the japanese in America
must have equal rights with the
whites and that this fundamental
solution of the existing difficulty
would uphold the japanese.

in De Baque.
The we'll is located west of the
Frank Nicolai ranch on leased
ground. and is within three miles of
the town of De Beque.
The news has created much excite
ment in De Beque, and is believed to
be the forerunner of real oil
boom.
Upon the best authority this
morning this statement was made:
We'll No. is now producer and a
paying well. 1t is cased all the way
down and the oil coming from it is OF
the best quality that has yet been
found in this district. The exact
amount of the flow has not yet been
measured 1t is, however, very graf
flying to the company"
Later this afternoon 1t was learned
that the Colorado Springs capitalists
who recently formed the Grand Val
ley Oil company have determined 10

They have been awaiting develop
ments at the Grand River wells and
since the strike at Well No is a
certainty il is said that they will rush
their rigging to their leased ground
at once.
The daily sentinel., 1913-05-17

The news leaked out today when
IL became known that a dozen of
the heavy stockholde RS in the com
pany reached De Beque last night at
midnight, and hurried meeting was
called on the ground where the big
well is flowing. Notices have been
posted warning visitors to keep off
the premises. and Manager Lowe of
the company has refused to make any
statement. Ordinarily Mr.. Lowe is
not reticent about information con-
cerning the wells, but today he mere
ly stated to Sentinel representative
that there would be no announce
ments to make for several days.
1t was learned, however. that tel
egraphic orders have been issued for
a number of large containers to con-
serve the flow. The well is now
flowing wafer, and therefore the
troubles which beset the company
in boring the first well are avoided.
The petroleum is said to be of un-
usually high quality. containing less
paraffine and more gasoline than
any yet found in the De Beque sec
tion. This means that it is of an
unusually high grade since the ex-
pertinent of burning crude petroleum

The most beautiful and spectacular

good. Three of the events stood out
from the program as the most beau

the grand May pole dance, Geneva

ly the best of all, and were greeted
by prolonged applause of the genu-

LOW PRICES"
REAL ESTATE
MEMS SLOGAN
Agents Agree to
Force Rates on
Land Down.

At n meeting of a dozen or more
representative real estate men at the
office of the Iona Land Sales Com
pany last night. the first step in a
movement to force down the prices
of land in the Grand valley was
commenced.
Realizing that readiustment pc
riod must come when the inflated
values of three years ago must give
way to values based on the produc-
tive possibilities of the soil, the deal
ers agreed TO stand together to
force all listed lands down to point
where they could recommend them
to investors.
The advertising the valley has re-
ceived as result of some of the sales
made in the boom period has been
confessedly bad; and it was only in
hope of making back some of the
money that was lost when the excite
ment died away that realty owners
have continued to bolster up their
prices. The realty men agreed that
the only way to colonize the valley
successfully was to admit that the
fcrnler valuations were toe high. and
that, the land is worth less than 1t
was ialleged to be several years ago.
A meeting will be held Friday
| night. at which other members of
the business will be present. and at
that time it is expected that a sim
pie agreement will be drafted and
signed in which all the dealers will
agree to list no lands for a higher
price than they can honestly recon-
mend to the buyer as a property up
on which he can make successful
living.
The attitude of the realty men will
receive the encouragement of the en-
, tire business interests of the valley.
