LAND OWNING |S.
 DENIED TO ALIENS
Controversy On Pacific Coast Settled By Supreme Court.
 Treaties May Alter

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Aliens can be prohibited by states from owning land, providing there is no treaty stipulation to the contrary, the supreme court announced today in an opinion ending a legal contro- versy, which for years had been an issue on the Pacific coast. The question has shared in importance with the controversy waged over the right of Japanese to citizenship. until the court removed the latter from the field of discussion by decision last term.
 Tho issue reached the supreme court in two cases, one from Wash and his wife and N. Nakatsuks, and the other from California brought py W. I. Porterfield and Y. Mlzuno. While the cases presented only the question of the proposed leasing of land to ineligible aliens, the court squarely met the issue and passed upon the broad question of the con stitutionality of the law. It held that states could, as Washington had, prohibit frem owning land aliens eligible to citizenship, but who had not declared their intentions, as well as aliens ineligible to citizenship, or, as California had, restrict the pro-
 
 good faith declared intention to be- come citizens.
 Relied On TechnicaIity.
 The states of California and Wash irgton sought to have the challenge disposed of upon the technicality that in neither cases had there been an actual violation of the law, there having been no leases made nor any confiscation of land as provided by the two states as penalty for the violation for the law. They had been successful in having the attack decided in the lower courts without going into the merits of the consti- nationality of the laws.
 The supreme court found, how ever, that there was presented cer- tain equitable rights which entitled both the land owner and the pro posed Japanese lesser to a decision on the validity of the laws before they had incurred liability to pun ishment. It therefore assumed full jurisdiction to review the cases from every point of view. The main de- cision was handed down in the Washington case, the court explain ing that the grounds upon which the Washington alien land law was at tackled Included those on which the California act was assailed.

Cuts Result Because Of Sea- sonaI DuIIness Which Finds Several Refineries With Storage Facilities Taxed

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-The gaso- line price cutting war, which started in the middle west with reduction of 2 cents 8 gallon by the Standard Oil company of Indiana, was ex- tended to the eastern seaboard to- day when most of the principal re- fineries followed the lead of the Gulf Oil company in reducing prices l cent a gallon. Further cuts are expected by the oil trade here in the next few weeks. Tank wagon prices of gaso- line are now 1415 cents in Massachu- setts and 151s cents in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
 The recent cuts were made possible by the steady reduction in crude oil prices, but they also were influenced by the seasonal decrease in gasoline consumption and the fact that sew eral of the large companies are fac- ing the winter with their storage fa- cilities taxed to capacity. Some of the smaller companies have been forced to sell gasoline at or below cost in Crder to satisfy an urgent need for immediate funds.
 Big Gasoline Stocks.
 Gasoline stocks in storage at pres ent Are reported to tCta1 more than ,000, ,000, GOO gallons, with production exceeding consumption.
 Heavy overproduction In the Cali fornia fields, which now shows signs of abating, was followed by a huge increase in the output of the new fields recently opened in central Texas. Oil stocks have continued to despite the record breaking production and sale of automobiles this year and the increasing use of crude oil for heating purposes. oil Shares Unsettied.
 The flood of oil has had an un- settling effect on the shares of nu- oil companies, many of which have either reduced or omitted their dividends in- order to conserve their cash resources. The latest companies tC take such action are the Ohio oil. which has just announced a quarterly dividend of 25 cents a cents in the preceding quarter, and the Crescent Pipe Line company, which has omitted the regular semi annual dividend of 8 per cent due at this time.
 This is the first Standard oil Pipe since the dissolution of tho old Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey In 1920.
 DAKOTA IN BUSINESS AGAIN
 SIOUX FALLS, N. D.. Nov. 12.- Gov. w H. McMaster and the state of South Dakota will enter the gaso- line business for the second time to- morrow, and gasoline will be on sale at the state supply depot at Mitchell at 16 cents per gallon.
 This action was determined today by the governor as result of the recently announced raise in this state by the Standard Oil company tG I'M cents per gallon, to equalixe prices with those in the rest of the country.

Since Lincoln's time, We have never feit'
Such pain, such sudden woe,
We, the people of these Virgin Isles

Though our cherished hopes were almost

Whose daily thoughts and prayer,
Were for ali the people OF the Land,
Entrusted to his care.
Over taxed with worries, duties, cares,
In reconstruction days,
DAYS and nights were spent IN ANXIOUS

Planning the nation ways.
The burden was more than he could bear,
Yet he held to his tlust,
He stuck to his post. 10 silent prayer,

A nation pure in birth.
Wen always remember his doings,
His monumental past,
Wen pray God to reward his workings,
To reward to the last.
While the body lies in gorgeous state,
While trumpets blow aloud.
While the people call him all that's great,
While bells are tOlling loud.
Down here in these Isles, we mourn your

Our hearts are sad and deep,
We bow our heads, we take up the cross,
We gaze, we pray, we weep.

NORTHERN PACIFIC ENTERED CITY
FIFTY YEARS AGO LAST JUNE:
HISTORY OF SYSTEM RELATED
By DIN d. Wheeler

The most noted and best known
of the contingent of French ex.
plorers, perhaps, particularly OF
the region about and beyond the
sources of the Mississippi river, IN
the Dakotas, were the Verendryes
father, three sons and nephew;
Sieur Verendrye, the father, and
his attendants were at Lake Ne
pegon in 1927, and later at Rainy
lake and the Lake of the Woods,
Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba and
The Saskatchewan. Still later he
made the Mandan Indians ana
their country around Bismarck,
Mandan his stamping ground
and from there his son, known as
the Chevalier, and a brother MADE
a long exploration southwest
wardly hoping to discover the
Western Sea the Pacific Ocean.
In this quest, in company with
large retinue of Indians, the Yer
endryes, on January l, 1743, hrst
sighted the Rocky, or SHINING

trated the now well-known Bad

distinguished Frenchman, the Mar.

Verendrye also touched the
southeastern corner of Montana
and reached the vicinity, as IS
generally believed, of the snow
sparkling Big Horn Mountains in
Wyoming. Many think they only
went as far as the Black Hills in
South Dakota.
On the return across South Da-
kota, on the right bank Of the Mis-
souri, River, Chevalier Verendrye

called fort of the Arikara Indians.

There is a statue of Mr.. Wibaux,

west of Wibaux, that may be seen
from the windows of the train.
At Billings, Montana, we are al
most within cannon shot of the
battlefield where General Custer
and five troops of his command
died in Indian conflict in June, 1876
and where the Absaroka, or Grow,

at what we know as Fort Pierre,
South Dakota. There has always
been more or less unbelief as to
this Verendrye plate.
On Sunday, February 16, 1913,
however, ITO years later, party |
of school girls and boys accidental

one-half inches long by six and

who knew of the Verendrye plate
prevented it from being thrown

or even wholly destroyed.
Verendrye was thus proved to

Northern Pacific is, therefore, most
closely allied with the history OF
the Northwest and since its con-

fact, been a very important part
of it. The line, now largely double

the choicest part of the Northwest,

was pushed through to Bismarck,
which was a terminal point until
