CONGRESSMAN NELLY,

: L.
Congressman fansiiellltM Nicely
was renominateds today as. the Demo.
cratic candidate for congress i'm the
First district without opposition
which oceasioned no Surprise from
anySauarter sincethis action las been
conceded for sometime.
There are two well founded rea-
sons for this and perhaps the best
one IS that the prospects for clecting
a Democrat in this district are not 50
flattering as they were before, and
few Democrats would care to under
take the canvas with its attendant
expense for the sake Of the empty
honor Of being the party's standard
bearer, and another reason@for the
lack Of opposition to the militant
Major Is the fact that there areGnot
many DemocratslinNtlle district who
would enjoy theso Opposition that MIR!
Nicely would give them in a contest
for the place on tllesticket. 3 r.

Unfriendly Legislation
Threatens Apple Growing

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-H II. r. 1866 10 enacted by the
national congress, it will be an offense
punishable By fine and imprisonment
to keep apples in cold storage FOR
more than 80 days and then ship them
out OF the state. II H. r, $3.50 IL en-
acted, it will be illegal to take from
storage and then return them again to
storage, either before or after inter-
state shipment. Both bills enumerate
certain food products and then add,
"also any other articles used for hui
man food. 4 Remedial amendments
have been promised, but so far eggs
only have been given more favorable
terms.
High authorities in the apple bust
ness assert that the first Of the pro-
posed laws would ruin the industry
and bankrupt producers from one side
of the continent to the other. It
would cause glutted market in some
seasons Of the year and an apple fam
inc for the remainder.
If re-st0rage is prevented it will
greatly damage the apple business in
many sections of the country. 1t
would be illegal, for instance, to take
apples from a cooler at Hood River
and ship them to the great Eastern
markets. All apples and pears, once
put into cold storage with tempera-
ture below forty degrees for a longer
period than ten days, are branded as
adulterated if shipped out of the state.
Northwest growers should write to
their congressman asking them to use
their influence to have fruits exempt
ed, "'said Professor C. I. Lewis, hor-
Of the college. "Since
both bills threatensthe fruit interests
fruitmen should refer to both bills,
preferably by number, in all CORES
pondence regarding the proposed legis-
lation. And they should do it at
once"

SEATTLE NOMINATES MAYOR
RECALLED FOR MISCONDUCT
Seattle, Wash. - One hundred and
ninety-nine precints complete give for
mayor, Gill, 1923; Trenholme, 8411;
Winsor, 694; Grifiths, 1924.

Hiram C. Gill, who was elected
mayor of Seattle in 1910, recalled for
alleged misconduct in office the next
year and defeated by Mayor Cotterill
in 1912, was nominated for mayor in
preferential primary, receiving nearly
as many votes as his three nearest
competitors combined.
For second place, James D. Tren-
holme, so-called business mems can
didate," is about 900 votes ahead of
Richard Windsor, with returns from
one third Of the city counted. Al
though Winsor, under the law, filed as
a non-partisan candidate, his nominal
ton was made and his campaign man
aged by the Socialist party.
Austin E. Grifiths, indorsed by the
Ministerial Federation, is fourth in
the votes thus far counted.
The highest two candidates will con-
test for the mayoralty in the regular
election of March 8.
A majority of all votes cast in the
primary does not elect under the law
Of Seattle, which is different from the
preferential primaries in most cities
Of the Coast.
A remarkable feature of ellis tri-
umph is that his campaign was di-
rected chiefly by men who brought
about his recall in 1911.

Congress May Enact
Laws Barring Hindus

Washington, D. C.-Representative
Burnett, of Alabama, chairman of the
house committee on immigration, pre-
dicted that as compromise on the Pa
cifc Coast fight to exclude Japanese
and all other Asiatics congress at this
session would enact legislation to bar
out the Hindus.
whether the immigration commit
tee will go further than that do not
know" Mr.. Burnett said, "but there
is no gentleman's agreement or IA
vored nation arrangement with Great
Britain so far as the Hindus are con-
cerned. There ought to be prompt
legislation to nip in the bud any
steamship arrangements to bring on
an extraordinary number of the Hin
dus, project which the immigration
bureau once discovered and foiled."

Japanese War Talk Is
All lingo, Says Professor

Boston Talk Of war between the
United States and Japan has emanated
from the Eastern part of America, not
from Japan" Professor Sidney l..
Gulick, of Dishisha University at To-
kio, said before the Twentieth Cen
fury club in this city.
81 don't believe there will be any
war;" he added. There are a few
Japanese who say America will finally
insist on war, and there is yellow
press in Japan, just as there is in
this country. But the Japanese earn
estly desire the friendship of the
United States, for they know they
have foes at their back door, and, be-
sides, Japan sells more goods to this
country than to any other"

Paris-The brain OF Alphonse Ber-

worldwide fame, weighed 1926 gram
mes. The weight of the brain OF the
average man is 1860 grammes.
DR.. Leonce Monouvrier, of the Col
lege Of France, who has studied the
brains Of celebrated men, has just
completed an examination of Bertil-
Ions brain. He considers the weight
all the more remarkable because the
organ was shrunken and anaemic from
long and exhausting illness.

CHINESE EVADE
EXCLUSION LAW
Commissioner Declares Illegal
Practice Is General.
japanese photo Brides Menace
Lab0ring Classes Certain to
Make Trouble Later.

Washington, d. Commissioners
General Caminetti, of the bureau of
immigration, in his first annual report,
to Secretary Wilson, recommended
certain notifications Of the Chinese
exclusion act, and expressed the opin-
ion that great care should be taken
with the seaman's bill, pending in
congress; declaring that 'tthe sea-
mans bill, on the one hand, and the
immigration and Chinese exclusion
laws on the other, cannot be properly
enforced unless their terms are
brought into substantial and practical
accord"
Commissioner Caminetti, speaking
of the general question of Asiatic i'm
migration, comments on staliens en-
ployed on vessels" and what he says
is the danger of Chinese and other
Asiatics reaching the country unlaw-
fully by serving as seamen and desert
ing.
AS to Japanese immigration, he ex-
presses doubt whether the 'sphoto-
graph" brides, after having gone
through a marriage ceremony by
proxy, recognized as legal in Japan,
are really. entitled to admission. He
says he does not believe "any such
marriage is binding on the United
States in the administration of immi-
grafton laws; and also that there is no
treaty with Japan, or other arrange
ment whatsoever, that provides for
the recognition by the United States
of the so-called marriage of woman
in Japan with a man who may be in the
United States at the alleged date of
the same"
He says there seems to be need of
repetition and emphasis of the state
ment in the ex-commissioner generals
report, which declared that the prac-
tice of admitting such women "opens
the way for the introduction into con-
tinental United States Of large bodies
of common laborers- females, it is
true, but none the less competitors of
the laborers of this country-and this
practice must necessarily result in
constituting large native-born Jap
anese population persons who, be-
cause of their birth on American soil,
will be regarded as American citizens,
although their parents cannot be nat
uralized."
Despite the fact that everything
possible under existing law is heing
done, said Mr.. Caminetti, to prevent
the entry Of Chinese not entitled to
be here, Chinese laborers are con-
stantly gaining admission, in the guise
of minor sons of merchants, students,
natives or sons of natives"

Travel BY Coaster Idea.

San Francisco-A roller coaster with
plenty of seats is being considered as
means of transporting millions Of
visitors from the Ferry building,
where North Coast and overland traffic
end, to the Panama Pacific exposition,
it is announced officially here. The
distance is perhaps mile and half.
The project contemplates an endless
platform, bearing gondolas or cars,
starting IL or more feet above ground
and sliding down, with machinery to
raise the belt from the foot of the in
cline to q new altitude.
