Oneida Indians Planning
 Homecoming Celebration

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. L. Oneida Indians plan a centennial homecoming celebration here in August to mark the hundreth an niversary of the coming of the Oneida Indians to Wisconsin after they had been crowded out of their hunting and fishing grounds in New York state.
 When they settled here in the fall of 1921 this part of the country was a vast wilderness with few white settlers.
 Several thousand Indians are ex- pected for the celebration which takes place August l to 5. The Menominees. Chippewas. Stock bridges, Munsees. Brothertowns. and Canadian Oneidas are looked for in great number.
 Old Indian customs will be ob- serted. Indian games will be played and an Indian council will be held.
 This centennial celebration may be the Oneidas' first and last to be held. as the Indians are rapidly for getting their old ways and are en- tsring commercial and business life of every community.
 Personal invitations will be ex- tended by the Indians to President Harding. Commissioned of Indian Affairs Burke and Governor Blaine of Wisconsin.

MEXICAN CLAIMS TO CALIFORNIA
 C0ASTISLANDS ARE NOW PUT FORTH

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, August 1.-2 Contentious, upon which. Mexico may base her claims to a number of islands just off the coast of Cali fornia in the Pacific Ocean, which are now occupied by Americfns and are under the control of tho United States, are summed up in report made to President Obregon by Gen eral > Amado Aguirre, sub-Secretary of Agriculture and chief of the commission making a study of the islands, according to an account in Excelsior, published in Mexico City The report declares that the claim of Mexico to the islands is indis. putable. but that the Mexican gov ernment is willing for the islands to remain under the American flag in return for foreign credit, the amount of which. was not stipulated.
 Included in the group of islands Is Santa Catalina, of which William Wrigley, Jr., of Chicago is the sole owner. Others are the FarailOnes. San Miguel, Santa Rosa. Santa Vera cruz,' Anacapa, Santa Barbara, San Nicolas and San Clemente.
 The arguments of General Aguirre in favor of Mexico's claims to the islands, as published in Excelsior, are: tsy
 "The United States is not eccu- pying. them by right of discovery. because they were discovered in the 18th century by the Spaniard nayi- gatos Cabrillo. who gave them the names which they now bear.
 They are nor occupied by right of purchase. as Mexico has never sold them to any person or nation. They are not occupied by right of conquest. for they were never |conquered.

 and keeps us fit. e.g

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ash es, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indiges- tible material, which If not com pletely eliminated from the system each day, becomes food for the mill lions of bacteria which infest the bowels.

FARMERS TOLD
 BY EXPERT HOW TO USE USE WATER
Irrigation Water in Relation to Plants and Soil Is
 Explained. v


 VERNON, B. C., Aug. 1-Farmers must govern more carefully the amount of water they use in irriga tion, Dr John A. Widtsoe, Salt Lake City, former president of the Uni yersity of Utah and authority on ir- rigation questions. declared in an address on Excessive Irrigation here before the Western Irrigation Association.
 Few farmers really understand the vital and fundamental principles which are in operation when water is used Aby plants or when water passes through the soil," MT. Widt- zoe declared. There must be better knowledge among farmers of the general relationships existing be tween plants and soils and water. If the farmer can be made to under stand that the quantity of water used does not determine the quantity of crop produced, much of the battle against excessive irrigation will have been won.
 Greater care must be given can als and ditches. When there is ex- cessive leakage, attempts should be made to make the canal bottom and sides, more impervious. Ordinarily this can be done by the sitting of the canal and dragging the silt from year to year. Ultimately as irriga- tion grows in importance, the time will come when the water will be so valuable that ditches will be lined by some impervious material like ce, ment. IA
 There can be no doubt in the minds of those who study the sub ject that many of the social prob lems of the day will be solved by better use of the areas on the sur face of the earth with limited rain fall. Irrigation will be the main fac tor in reclaiming these areas
 "A healthful wholesome civillza- tiOn always grows up under the ir rigation ditch. It is world need that this system of civilization shall be made permanent, that nothing shall be done now that will make 1t temporary in its character, with all the disastrous results that follow lack of permanency.
 l Excessive irrigation is the great est menace to the growth of irriga tion. As every other organism has, irrigation has within itself the pow er by the excessive use of water to destroy itself. You in this new coun- try who are building from the foun dation, and under modern conditions, 3 system of irrigation agriculture, should make 1t a first consideration that the use of, water must be in accordance with the most approved methods of recent science and that irrigation shall never be known"

ICE CONDITIONS AL ONC COAST
 OF SIBERIA WORST IN YFARS;"
 KILL POLAR BEAR IN AUGUST

Ice conditions along the Northern Siberian coast last year were the worst in 20 years and created a sit uation of the utmost severity with re spect to the natives, navigation and trading, according to Charles C. Car. pendale, the widely known East Cape trader. In letter to the Nome Nugget, recently delivered through the kindness of Capt. ROald Amund sen, MT. Carpendale says the ice was the heaviest seen along that coast during the 19 years residence and was in evidence most of the The summer season was also one of the coldest ever known and new ice was formed every night during the month of August Mr. Carpendale states that it seemed as if the Arctic Ocean was doing it's best to block trading. Polar bear were killed at East Cape in August, something hitherto unknown and the whole of that section of Siberia was left with out trading materials, with the result that famine was widespread among the natives. In some instances whole native families were wiped out by starvation.
 "In an experience of 19 years on the Chukotsk Peninsula l have yet to see a summer season with ice con ditons like those ofsl920," MT. Car pendale says Tt seems as if the Arctic Ocean was doing it's best to block trading and expedition vessels from operating. It certainly succeed ed, for to try to buck such tremend

territorial jurisdiction of nation cannot extend farther than league from shore, and the islands in -ques- tion are at greater distance from the shore of the United States. ] "The international code of the United States rejects the right Of conquest by stating that not all ter ritory conquered belongs to the con- querer, but only that part assigned by definite stipulatiOfis of duly auth orized treaties
 Further proof of the claim of Mexico to the islands is cited in the decree of the queen of Spain in 1896, declaring that in the future all possessions of the Kingdom of New Spain belonged to the Republic of Mexico, a sovereign nation. For many years, Mexico actually exer- cised control over the islands, it Is asserted.
 In substantiation of the assertion that Mexico exercised dominion over the islands. it is pointed out that a decree was issued June 20, 1888. authorizing the Governor of Cali f0rnia to make grants of any part of the islands to Mexicans, accord ing to the stipulations of the law Of August IS, 1924, and that the titles to parts of the island granted to Castillero and Carriol in 1899 and 1S41 were nullified by later decrees of President Santa Anna in Novem. Der. 1853, by President Alvarez in July. 1854. and by President Com fort. March 10. 1857.
