suit of the recent statement made by
Congressman Johnson of Tacoma,
Washington, the anti-American feel
ing created by the arri"a1 Of the
United States note in regard to the
Japanese occupation of Sagahlin has
been steadily increasing.
In statement issued to the papers
recently Johnson said that thousands
of Japanese were being smuggled into

ground system extending from the Or

there to Mexico and from Mexico
across the border into the Western
states. In a note replying to the
charge, the Japanese government
stated that although this might be a
fact they had no control over Japan

Many Japanese newspapers are

NAPLES PLANS DRYDOCK
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON Aug. 6-The larg-
est dry dock on the Mediterranean is
planned at Naples.
Recent degrees of the italian gov
ernment authorizing the construction
of this dock and a smaller one at the
industrial port of Baia-Averno pro-
vide that work must begin within six
months of the official date of the
declaration of peace.
q. Besides the dry docks, it is planned
to transform Lake Averno for the use
of shipyards, and to build canal
connecting the lake with the port of
Naples proper.
The Italian government will within
a period of so years pay about half
of the cost of the work and at the
end of 60 years the entire property
automatically becomes government
property.

Plans and specifications are now
complete for the Calipatria sewerage

ties arising in the way of the project
Heald announces that all legal pre-
paratiOns are complete and the deal
for the sale of the outfall sewerage
bonds has been successfully COM
.pleted. Final arrangements have
been made with Strassburger & Co.,
of San Francisco, the company that
purchased the bonds, the final accept
ance of which will be made in July.
Pipin is now arriving in large guam
titles to meet the demand and fill the
orders on hand. Some difficulty was
had because the land owners along the
Alamo river below the point of dis
charge threatened to bring an injunc-
ton suit, but that has now been
settled since the assurance that sew
age would be treated before it reaches
the river.
Work is now bhg done connecting

it is thought that in short tiue Cal

EXPECT RUSH
Of COTTON
GROWERS
HERE
Real Estate Dealers and
Growers Say Introduction
of Long Pima Will Bring
An Unprecedented Land
Movement.

The greatest land movement in the
history of Imperial Valley is antici,
pated by local real estate dealers as
a result of the now seemingly as
sured success of long staple pima
cotton. Land in the Arizoa cotton
districts, which raise mostly the
long staple pima, is at the present
time held at price just about double
land in the valley. With the proven
success of the long staple pima here,
and with the added ability of valley
land to grow almost bumper crops of
practically every variety the valley
will become even more the center Of
attraction for agriculturists settling
in California, say land dealers.
The long staple pima is a cotton
bearing a much longer and stronger
staple, and bringing just about double
what the hitherto common valley
short staple cotton brings in price. AS
an instance of this growers today
sal dthat while they received so cents
a pound for the short staple cotton,
the long pima brought them 81 a
pound. The long pima runs from
half a bale to bale an acre, which
means, at present market prices, a
gross return of from $3.50 to $500 an
acre from the pima cotton crops. The
long staple cotton is trifle slower
in picking, but all other expenses are
about the same as the short staple va
riety.
Speaking of the general cotton sit
uation in the district today Deputy
Hortculturist Earnest Oliver said:
while the growers of the short
staple variety are not expecting a
normal crop for this season the grow
ers of pima cotton are practically as-
sured of splendid return. Many
growers have told me that their
acreage would return as high as Il
bale to an acre.
Personally | am incline dto feel
that the opinion expressed in regard
to general land movement to the
valley of an unheard of extent as 4
result of the introduction of the pima
cotton is quite to be expected" The
valley is much nearer the present
market for Arizona cotton, Los An
geies, and is in every way splendidly
situated to take the lead in the pro-
ducton of pima cotton.
Growers and real estate dealers
say that contrary to the common
report regarding the injury done to
the cotton, especially to the long
starle variety.
Speaking of the water situation
they stated that unless the Colorado
took drop much more pronounced
than the present tendency the sue
cess of the crop this year was as
sured. The remainder of August,
the ysaid, was the critical month for
the crop, and from all present APP
pearances the weather will work no
pronounced hardship.
