that the income tax forms which he
expected will not reach him from
Washington until "about Jan. 49,"

this office and the taxpayers to do In
thirty days what they should have
three months to accomplish, and 1t
is very unfortunate, but I want to

SEATTLE FIRE REVEALS TRICK
 TO EYADE LAW

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-Investigating a fire on the farm of G. Watori on Burns road, Battalion Chief Henry G. Hale, of the fire department, dis covered what he believes to be a Japanese evasion of statutes, prohib- iting them from owning land in the state. Watori had bought the farm in the name of his eldest daughter, who was born here, Chief Hale said
 Disgruntled after being discharged by the Japanese proprietor, white farm hand is accused of setting the fire.
 Watori's barn and shack, where he lived with his wife and three chil- dren were destroyed.
 Interrogation by chief Hale devel- oped that Watori purchased the pleace for $8OOO from it's former own ed. Knowing that he could not own land, Watori said that he bought it in the name of his 8-year-old daugh- ter

MEXICANS ARE
 GOING "H0ME' FROM OREGON

MARSHFIELD, Ore, Aug 25.- Many Mexicans, mostly with families who came to the United States to es- cape the turmoil of the past six years in their native land, are now looking homeward since the situation in Mex ico seems likely to settle down to a condition where they may be at peace.
 In this neighborhood there are a number of the dark-skinned race who have been employed mostly on the railroad as section men.
 They are planning now to return to Mexico when the stability of the gov ernment is no longer in doubt. They all say they did not come to the United States with the intention of staying, although they can make more money here, but the country is different and they prefer their own customs and amusements to those here.
 The majority of those who expect to return southward are going in the hope that they can obtain land.

SMALLEST U. s.
 POSSESSION IS
 PROSPEROUS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The in- creasing commercial importance of Guam is illustrated in recent visit of the postmaster of Guam, princi pal city of our smallest possession, to the United States in behalf of bet ter postal service.
 Curious customs and natural re- sources of Guam are described in a National Geographic society bulletin as follows:
 "The fruit of a common tree Gar ringtonia speciosa) the natives use to stupefy fish. The fruit is pounded into paste, inclosed in bag and kept overnight. The time of an es' pecially low tide is selected, and bags of the pounded fruit are taken out on the reef next morning and sunk in certain deep holes in the reef. The fish soon appear on the surface, some of them lifeless, others at tempting to swim, or faintly strug- gling with their ventral side upper most. The natives scoop them in their hands, sometimes even diving for them.
 'In the mangrove swamps, when the tide is low, hundreds of little fishes with protruding eyes may be seen hopping about in the mud and climbing among the roots of the Rhizophora and Bruguiera. These be- long to a group of fishes interesting from the fact that their air bladder has assumed in a measure the func- tion of the lungs, enabling the animal to breath atmospheric air.
 Men. women and children of Guam are expert swimmers, and are as much at ease in the water as on land. AS they throw themselves into the sea and come bounding from wave to wave they remind on of dolphins.
 According to the testimony of early writers, their houses were high and neatly made and better con- structed than those of the aboriginal race hitherto discovered in the Indies.
 "They were a happy, careless peo- pie, fond of festivities, dancing singing, story telling and contests of strength and skill, yet sufficiently in- dustrious to cultivate their fields and garden patches, build excellent houses for their families, braid mats of fine texture and construct canoes which were the admiration of all the early navigators. They were much given to buffoonery, mockery, playing tricks, pesting mimicry and ridicule, offering in this respect striking contrast to the undemonstrative Ma layans.
 "The natives of Guam are, as a rule, Of good physique and pleasing ap- pearance. Owing to their mixed blood, their complexion varies from the white of Q Caucasian to the brown of a Malay. Most of them have glossy black hair, which is either straight or slightly curly. It is worn short by the men and long by the women, either braided, coiled or dressed after the styles prevailing in Manila.
 'The people are essentially agri- cultural. There are few masters and fow carvantc or tho ic1ond Ac q l rule the farms are not too extensive | 10 be cultivated by the family, all the members, even the smaller chil- l dren, lending a hand.''

MAY FILE REQUESTS
 FOR SALARY BOOSTS
City Employes Who Hope to Have Wages "Jacked" Must Make Ap-
 plication Within Next Two Weeks.

Offering a direct contrast to condi- tions of last year. scarcely a word is being heard in City Hall offices rela- two to salary increases this year. Re- quests for increases must be handed in by department heads before the De- cember meeting of tho common coun- ell which will be helc two weeks from today. The petitions will be referred to the salary committee for recom- mendations at a later meeting. Coun- cilman A F. Tichstaedt is chairman of that committee, which is composed of the following councif members: E. W. Peterson, M. T. Kerwin, M. F. King, Alexander Drozowy. Emil F. Malm- gren, James Dunn, c. J. Dehm. A. c. Crusberg. r. o. Carlson and F. Ray mond Gilpatric.
 Practically every person in the city employ asked and wss granted an in- cease in salay last year. Because of conditions existing this year it is quite probable that few will seek to have their salaries "jacked."
