ELECTION BELIEVED
NEEDED IN N. DAKOTA
Senators Here Doubt Sorlie's
Power to Appoint Ladd
Successor
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Discussion has arisen among Sena-
tors now in Washington as to what
the attitude of the Republican ma
jority in the Senate will be If Gov.
Sorlie of North Dakota fills the va,
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Ladd by appointment instead of
through special election.
Some of the majority leaders who
have inquired into the matter take
the view that the State lazy requires
that the vacancy be filled by cleo
tion and they point to the case OF
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania as a
precedent under which the Senate
could refuse to seat the governors
appointee.
Senator Quay failed of reelection in
1899 owing to a fight in the Leglsla-
ture and the governor promptly re-
appointed him. Despite the support
he received from Senators Moore,
Chandler and Penrose, the Senate de-
cided that he was not entitled to a
seat by appointment and the place
remained vacant until the Legisla-
ture finally filled it.

Scientist Says Disaster in Japan
Resulted From Deep
Fissure.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

TOXIC, June ia scientific opin-
ion on the recent earthquake in the
Tajima region of Japan, which took
a toll of several hundred lives. has
been submitted to Gov. Hiratsuka
of Hyogo-ken by DIR. Nakamura
of the Toxic Imperial University, the
leading seismologist of the empire. In
his report DR.. Nakamura stated:
The existence of an earthquake
belt running from Aomori. in the
northeast, to the neighborhood of
Sabaetown, in Fukui prefecture on
the Japan seacoast, has been we'll
known, but in this zone no strong
shock has ever been recorded. On
the southwestern Japan seacoast, in
Guiding Inaba, Hoki, Idumo, Iwami
and Okf Provinces, also no disturbance
of Importance has taken place since
the establishment of Toxic University.
Il am inclined to attribute the
origin of the recent destructive quake
to a deep fault below the mouth of
the Maruyama River, as mentioned
by others who have inspected the Ia
jima rexion. There might have been
a local dislocation of strata near
Kumihama, in western Tango Prov
ince, and any immediate destructive
shock is hardly conceivable in the
vicinity of the river mouth mentioned.
Anyhow. a sounding of the sea bot
tom near the river mouth might fur

SOLAR PLExUS FOR SPILLSBURY
Phoenix Messenger Says He's "Crazy
With the Heat"

On Thursday, July %, P. G. Spills
bury, who calls himself president Of
the Arizona Industrial Congress, what
ever that is, made luncheon speech
at Prescott where the atmosphere is
pleasant, yet he showed signs of be-
ing crazy with the heat, having just
returned from Los Angeles. Spills
bury seems to be realty boomer, at
least he talks that way. He talks
about colonizing $4,000 families on
the various irrigation projects under
way which will open up 100000 acres
for colonization.
The Messenger is not a knocker
and we are anxious to see projects
developed, but it is silly to talk about
seven million acres Of arabic land
being ready or available. There is
now, all told less than a million acres
of land in cultivation in Arizona.
Should this amount be doubled in
twenty years, the boomers have done
we'll.
Just go down the streets of Phoe-
nix and see the acres of second hand
goods piled on vacant lots or go out
near the fair grounds and see acres
This valley had it's canaigre boom
nearly thirty years ago with J. w.
Benham in charge. Some years later
there was a sugar beet craze and
million dollar factory was built at
Glendale where it now stands as a
monument Of folly.
Next came the dairy craze and the
two big creameries and many smaller
ones were built, later to be closed by
the cotton craze of four and five years
ago. Then lands sold out of sight
and thousands busted, sold out or
walked away.
OF course Heard has always been
cOlonizing with Russians, Hindus, Japs
and other riff-raff.
This valley is now in good condi.
tiOn and many farms might be subdi-
vided, making homes for more gar
deners or fruit farmers, but there is
no demand for $4,000 families, by
any means.
Let US keep our feet on the ground
this time, tell the truth and let the
country grow naturally.
Statements similar to those made
by Spilsbury damage any country as
only contented settlers are desired.
To bring suckers here to be f1eeced
by land boomers will not help Ari-

room for settlers. They will come
