YOSHIOKA Is UNPER-
 TURBED IN DEATH CELL

Roy Yoshioka, the condemned Dawson Japanese, who is to be banged November 23 for the murder of his wife, is behaving in jail as though he were in for any Ordin- ary crime rather than one of the foulest. He eats and sleeps regular ly, and reads considerably. He is constantly under the eyes of the guards. No one is allowed to visit him but Father Lewis, the priest of St. Mary's Catholic church, in which faith the condemned man is a believer.
 One of the admonitions of MT. Justice Macaulay in passing sen- tence of death upon the man was, since he was a Christian, to prepare to meet his God.

 COAST EXPOSED

4 letter in hand from United States Attorney James A. Smiser calls attention to a fraud attempt along the Pacific coast, especially in Oregon, by certain people who claim to have reliable information regarding the opening of certain lands for entry, and who claim to have power to reserve sections of the territory.

 There is no possible way by which preference right of entry can be obtained at this time to the Ore Eon and California railroad lands"
 A clipping from a letter of the Department of the Interior at Wash ington, D. C., says:
 ''The attention of the Depart ment has been called to the fact that there are already at work in the field locators who are claim ing that through their services pre- ference rights can be secured by the payment of a small fee The Department desires at this time again to warn the public that no such preference right can be obtain ed at this time, and that any mon ey paid to such locators will un- doubtedly be money thrown away"

way visits have been made to some
what over 500 men in the past four
