unlikely that Germany would trifle

cd likely that the president will sug-
gest to Ambassador Gerard that time

JAPANESE BOY

San Francisco. May l.--Holding
that there Is no special law govern
Ing the immigration of Japanese such
as regulates the entrance OF Chinese
into the United States, Federal
Judge Maurice T. Dooling today dis
missed the deportation proceedings
started against Maysutara Nakao. II
years old, by the port authorities.
This decision excited considerable In
terest. coming as It does at this time
when the "gentlemens agreement"
between the United States and Japan
governing the entrance Of Japanese
is at issue.
Nakao entered this country under
the law that permits entrance OF re-
latives OF well-to-do Japanese. He
desired, he said, to become a student.
The immigration officers declared
that he was very likely to become a
public charge. as his father here can
not support him.
After questioning the lad. Judge
Dooling asserted that Nakao, in the
event that he did not succeed in his
ambition to become a student, was
fitted to earn his own living better
than many American-born Japanese.
The immigration authorities may ap-
peal to Secretary Of Labor Wilson.
In making his ruling, Judge Dool-
Ing said:
"The immigration authorities have
the right to Investigate any indl-
vidual case. regardless Of passports
issued by Japan"
Judge Dooling declared Japanese
rmers and other aliens are better
equipped to make living In this
country than many native borns.
They come into the country, and
In many cases own farm OF their
own" he said "Our native born,
m.ny OF them, come from the coun-
try into the cities, where they are
pitifully handicapped In the fight for

COUNTY AGENTS.
NOTES

The festive cut worm is making
his appearance. This Is one Of tn,
most troublesome pests with which
the gardener has to contend. It viii
feed upon almost anything green and
win live under such variety OF con
ditions that It becomes a very din
cult problem to control 1t.
The following is q very efficient
poison for cut worms. grasshoppers
and garden slugs:
Coarse bran .......,..........,,...........16 fb
Paris green or white srsenic......A 10
Lemon extract ...,...-...2 teaspoonsful
Warm water to make coarse.
|crumbly mash. Do not get the ma
terial sloppy. The dry ingredients
should be thoroughly mixed and then
the water and lemon extract added.
Small heaps OF the mash should be
placed near the plants.
Where only few plants are set
they may be protected by paper or
tin collar.
The Winona club, up Jump on Joe,
began a vigorous campaign to fight
the digger squirrel last week. Ma
terial was provided to make 80 quarts
of poison and every one was to turn
out and assist In spreading the poi
son over the entire section OF the
country. This was mixed according
to the government formula.
The same thing is being done in
Deer Creek valley. We were out on
Friday and assisted In making up
the first batch and another will be
made up this week.
The people Of Fruitdale are going
to make up 80 quarts this week, and
will follow 1t up with more.
I feel that this is very important
work. The digger squirrel Is causing
thousands OF dollars in loss every
year in this county. The present
method Of each farmer scattering a
little poison around his own premises
is all right as far as 1t goes. but 1t
will never do anything more than
hold the squirrel in check. 10 we
may get a general fight waged every
where. not only on the farm but on
the surrounding hills, we can exter-
inmate him.

SECRETARY HOUSTON AND THE
CAVES ROAD.

SECRETARY HOUSTON AND THE
CAVES ROAD.
Secretary Houston, of the depart
ment Of agriculture. in letter tG
the chairman of the house committee
on agriculture, acknowledges the
benefits to be derived from the con.
struction Of road to the. Marble
caves through the Siskiyou forest,
but he does not fully appreciate that
there is difference between this
road and roads that may be projected
only for the use Of the forest, or with
out demand for other than such pur-
poses as may arise in any national
forest. The road to the caves is in
class by itself. serving a double
purpose. and as such is entitled to
consideration apart from the usual
highway constructed into the forests.
Its chief need is to make the caves
available to the great army Of tour
lists that seeks to visit this principal
natural wonder Of the district. That
the road also serves q part of the ma
tional forest that needs 1t is an incl
dent rather than a prime factor. The
caves highway is therefore entitled
to recognition as Congressman Haw-
ley has asked, and should not be
obliged to take its chances with a
general measure. Secretary Hous-
tons letter to the house committee
in referring to the Hawley bill makes
the following comment:
''The Oregon Caves National
Monument was established July 10.
1909, under the act Of June 8, 1905.
This natural wonder is OF exceptional
interest and consists Of a series Of
galleries and caves extending more
than two miles and in some places to
a depth Of more than 600 feet. Be-
cause the caves are not easily acces-
sible, they have not been fully ex-
plored. It is believed that with ade-
quate transportation facilities a great
many people would visit the Oregon
Caves and that the construction. Of
the road proposed would lead to the
development Of other resources in
that region. There is considerable
timber within this part of the siski-
you Forest which Is now mature, but
which is not being logged because
other timber is more easily accessible.
The construction OF this road would
make the timber more accessible and
probably result in sales.
I THE department has already in
dicated its view that the Federal
Government should aid in the con-
struction OF roads within the Nation
al Forests in order to open them up
to greater use and to aid in general
community development. While no
doubt the $4,000 proposed to be
spent in this bill would go a long
way toward the local development,
1t is believed that general legislation
such as is proposed in the bill Fl. r.
10400 would be more feasible than
specific legislation for each road pro.
ject. Under the general plan It
would be possible for the department
to prepare definite and we'll con-
sidered program and in the long run
probably accomplish more with a
given amount OF money than If the
money were appropriated by specific
projects. For this reason the depart
ment would prefer to have general
legislation such as is proposed in
H. R. 104oo rather than measures for
specific projects."

There's variety enough to please the

number on the bill is a top-notcher. Nor
man Brothers, billed as The Athletic
simpsons, do some clever stunts, ex-
hibiting at times almost super human
strength. Ed Morton, an old favorite
with Majestic Theater goers, is back on
the boards with Songs AS You Like to
Hear Them Sung His parodies and
eeharacterizations please his audience
immensely. Who Is She?' presented
by Joseph E. Bernard and company,
proves amusing and well-rendered, Gen
erous applause greets their efforts
Venita Gould, a clever comedienne,
keeps the house in the very best of
humor with her impersonations of pres
entdav stage celebrities. The hand given
Miss Gould is second only to that of
the headline attraction, Eva LaRue and
her Broadway Revue" an act compris-
ing eight girls and man. Costumes
are gorgeous and are worn by an eN
ceptionally handsome chorus. Miss
LaRue, good-natured and jolly, has the
audience with her from the start The
act is positively clean. wholesome and
thoroughly enjjoyable-or would be, if
the one young lady would not try to
use her voice for singing.
