DOUGLAS LIVING

VISITORS CLAIM

Strangers visiting any city often
bring information to the residents
concerning their own town which
they had not thought about and that
appears to be the case with Douglas
on the cost of living. From state
ments made by number OF people
who recently have visited Douglas,
it seems that living costs here are
such as to create a favorable i'm
preston on those from other points.
One individual who related his ex-
periences in travelling through a num-
ber of states said that the Douglas
cafe prices had impressed him so
favorably that he determined to visit
the markets to inquire Of the prices

RULING
MAY Be TESTED
IN U. S. COURT

BUFFALO, N Y, Nov. 80 lP)-An
attempt to restrain the federal govern
nent from enforcing new border
ruling restricting entrance of Canad-
ian nationals into this country failed
in district court today.
Ruling on an application for re-
straining order made by James Kemp
Of Niagara Falls, Ont, who owns a
business in Niagara Falls, N. Y.
Judge Hazel advised the applicant to
submit to arrest tomorrow, when, the
ruling becomes effective and to ask for
l1abeas corpus. thus bringing the case
into the jurisdiction of the district
court. The judge ruled that his court
has no jurisdiction until the new reg
ulation takes effect.
Under the new ruling immigrants of
either quota or non-quota class must
comply with visa requirement be-
fore they are permitted to enter this
country but the order does not apply
to native born Canadians, who, with
proper credentials, may continue across
the international border to work here

single instance proved a favorable
, showing for Douglas. He stated that
| it was true there were some item
higher here than he had found in
his home city on the coast, but that
this was a very reasonable view as
the article was produced near to his
home town, while here they had to
be brought q long distance and the
variance of price in the upward di-
rection appeared strictly proper and
fair to the dealer.
This same party compared cafe
prices with cafes of similar rating
in the cities with which he claimed
to be familiar and he said that those
who patronize the cafes here have
no ground for complaint The por.
ton prices are, on the average, lower
and the portion served here is quite
as generous as anywhere else.
Another factor in the cost of living
which pleased this visitor was that
of rents. He said that making due
allowance for the difference in the
offering, that he considered the rent
rates here quite favorable to the new
conner. He called attention to the
fact that it probably is true there
are but few apartments comparable
to the real modern type built in the
lager cities, but basing the rate
comparison strictly on, the offering
involved, it was his Judgment that
the rent problem for those who live
in rented quarters is not unfavorable
but on the contrary reasonable to
cheap.

Possibility that numerous ranch

advisor. The letter was received a
few DAYS ago from G. Daley, gen

Gated at Santa Ana, Calf.
In the letter the official seeks
knowledge relative to the possibility
of the valley as a production center
for sugar beets. He asks that any
information relative to former eX-
peri1nents be forwarded to him ana
and expresses the opinion that crops
planted in September and October
and maturing in March and April
would prove successful. tie said IN
the letter that several valley ranch
ers have sought information on the
subject and that they appeared will,
ing to experiment.
In, answering the letter the farm
advisor said that experiments had
been conducted here by several per
sons. He cited the experiments
made by J. f. Packard of the Cali
fornia Agricultural College at Melo-
land. Sugar beets were raised by
Packard which had a sugar content
averaging l3 and Ii per cent and as
high AS 90 per cent in some cases.
His efforts were highly successful.
On the other hand L. G. Gore,
who is at present in charge of the
Meloland station, was not SO sue
cessful, "a sugar content of about II
per cent marking his efforts. Gore,
however, said that his crop had
been raised through the summer
months and that a more successful
Weld might mark winter erops. He
declared that he would gladly co
operate with the ranchers in ex-
perimenting with beets.
