AID TERRITORY,
SAYS CAMINETTI

Complete cooperation will be given
the territory by the federal immigra
ton commissioners in regulating the
issuance and use of certificates oil
birth by Asiatics born in this coun
try.
w. w. Thayer secretary of terri
tory, received a letter from A. Cant,
netti, commissioner.gener today in
which he states he will cooperate
with him in every way possible. He
says In part: -.
You may be sure that the bureau
will gladly cooperate with you, both
actively and by way of offering sug'
gestions, i'm your determination and
efforts to enforce the territorial stat
ute with respect to the Issuance of GER
tfficates of birth IN such way as to
avoid to the maximum the perpetra-
ton of fraud as an incident to the
system; its cooperation, however, OF
course. must be carefully confined to
the limits which practical experience
with the enforcement of the immigra-
ton law has demonstrated are neces-
sary in connection with the accept
ance, even as pTtma facie proof, of
certificates of birth or like evidence,
when offered on behalf OF persons APP
parently aliens, but claiming citizen
ship, especially when such persons are
of Asiatic origin.
1T seems to the bureau that it may
be possible to work out some plan
under which Hawaiian birth certifi-
Gates may be issued and used with a
much greater degree of satisfaction
than in the past. The only sugges-
ton the bureau can offer at this time
consists of calling attention to its
circular No. %. dated January. IA,
1908, a copy of which is enclosed,
covering the issuance of certificates
of identity to persons of Chinese de-
scent. Could you not adopt some
what similar regulation with a view
to. keep children of Asiatic descent
born in the Hawaiian islands con-
stantly provided with certificate, the

fication?" 49,. .sss.. $50, s.. -. H.

were not on duty the members were

" Mr.. Fish, after an examination OF
the correspondence leading up to tho

SURPRISING THE LOTTERIES

The first of the United States to
thoroughly suppress the lottery
business was Massachusetts,, under
a law passed eighty five years ago
June 8, 1929. Sporadic attempts to
abolish this insidious form of gamb-
ling had previously been made by
other American states and colonies
but they were not very successful
owing to the popularity of the
schemes.
The example of Massachusetts
was speedily followed ina other
states but it was not until twenty
years ago that the last lottery in
the United States was suppressed.
The Louisiana State Lottery was
the last important institution of
this kind 70 cater to the gambling
instincts Of Americans. It's charter
expired in 1894 and a bitter fight
waged against its renewal. The
lottery company offered the state
81, 900, 900 a year, double its for
mer offer, for the privilege Of con-
tinuing in business but public SEN
timent was too strong, and the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
continue the lottery was rejected
by the voters at a state election.
In most Latin American coun-
tries, and in several of the CONT
mental nations Of Europe, lotteries
are still 10 vogue but they were
abolished in England in 1926.
Lotteries originated in Florence
in 1880 and for three centuries
they were permitted to operate in
nearly all countries with little or
no governmental restraint Ex-

BIG GOLD STRIKE

j. H. Mccoy in the new mining
strike in the Wild range, Lander
county, is in town today. Mr..
Pearce has just returned from the
scene Of the new strike, where he
spent several days. He says it is a
big thing and one that will doubt
less attract great attention in the
mining world. He brought q
quantity of the ore to Winnemucca
and is having assays made by n. G..
OastIer, the assoyer. A sample of
the ore was also left at this office.
Mr., Pearce says the deposit has
been opened up by surface trenches
and has been proved to DE fully
40 feet wide. All the ore pans
and one average sampling gave re-
turns of S11.40 in gold.
Persons who have seen it say il
