Owing to the limitations Of his

Cant do It? Won't do 1t, you

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huang Shan Created a Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
10 Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming
dynasty a Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea Of making 1t sacred
mountain. A journey to Peking aud
m audience with the royal household
resulted in the appropriation Of large
sums Of money for developing this
fairyland Of the gods. A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. It
vas decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
goda. The temple, whose halls 1t
decked, was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called the Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds of priests came to
the mountains, and there was n period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops Of all the important
peaks. and at least one temple was
erected far above the line Of perennial
springs.

A certain Englishman, famous for
his erudition, played such a wretched

one day to his caddie: "How is It
that I. a man acquainted with all the

confounded game Of golf?"
"Weel." said the caddie, 'it's like

CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR WRITES
LETTER TO sEcRETARv OF
STATE ON JAP QUESTION.
JAPS DOUBLE TO 87,279
STATE Is DETERMINED At ALL
COST TO PREVENT FURTHER
SPREAD OF JAps.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Sacramento, Calf, June 22-The
influx of Japanese into California has
brought about alarming" conditions,
and 1t has become necessary to pro-
tect the sovereignty of the state
against this growing menace" through
diplomatic negotiations or strict ex-
clusion act, Gov. William d. Stephens
said In a letter addressed to Secretary
Of State Colby.
Governor Stephens expressed the
hope in the letter that the initiative
measure now being projected in the
state to deny Asiatics the right to all
land purchases or leasehOlds would be
accepted by the electorate by an over
whelmlng majority.
While California harbors no ami
mostly against the japanese people, he
said, the state does not wish them to
settle within her borders and to de-
velop Japanese population in her
midst. He asks that immediate negO-
tiations be entered into with the en-
pire Of Japan to make impossible any
further 'evasions" of existing immi-
grafton agreements and to make such
agreements as rigorous as possible.
Twenty years ago our Japanese
population was NOMINAL" the letter
said. "Ten years ago the census re-
ports of the United States govern
ment showed a Japanese population in
California of 41,356.
"A computation and survey recent
ly made by the board of control of the
state of California indicates that this
Japanese population has been more
than doubled-amounting now to S7,-
279. The best figures available indi-
cate that our japanese population COM
prises between 80 and 50 per cent of
the total Japanese population Of con-
tinental United States"
Governor Stephens said he feared
that the initiative measure, If passed,
might fall short of its purposes
through the Japanese retaining pos
session of agricultural lands through
personal employment contracts.
Although respecting Japanese cul-
ture and advancement and the right
of Japan to trade development, Gov
ernor Stephens held that "the people
Of California are determined to re-
press developing japanese commu-
nifty in our midst. They are deter
mined to exhaust every power in their
keeping to maintain this state for its
own people"
California also foresees in the not
distant future the gravest menace of
serious conflict II this development 10
not Immediately and effectively
checked"
