TRANSPORTATION TO BE REVOLUTIONIZED Under the federal water power law, recently signed by President Wilson, there is a possibility of transportation being revolutionized in this country. Some of the best minds in the country worked out the details of the new law, safeguarding the interests of the public, but at the same time making the act sufficiently attractive to capital to insure water power development. The country will hope that interests that seek to take advantage of the law for ulterior purposes will be thwarted. Administration of the act will be under a water power commission composed of the secretaries of war, agriculture and the interior. Leases for development will run for fifty years, at the end of which time the government may take over the plants and operate them, paying for such development not more than the original cost. That, however, is a detail for the future to consider. Immediate beneficial results would be the saving of fuel. With a proper development of America's water power electric transmission lines will form a network covering the continent. This may mean the eventual electrification of the present steam roads, the motive power being drawn from a far-off power house that, in turn, would get its initial energy from water. At present a large portion of the freight hauled by steam roads is coal to feed their own locomotives. With electric engines, drawing their power from a transmission line, the cars now devoted to local hauling could be diverted to the use of other freight and the coal now used by the railroads could be consigned to the public. Asiatic Association by William J. Traeger of Los Angeles; North Bay Counties Asiatic Exclusion League, by C. A. Bodwell of Petaluma; State Controller John S. Chambers and V. S. McClatchy, publisher of the Sacramento Bee. A camaign to insure the success at the November election of the proposed initiative amendment to the anti-alien land law, and also a movement to bring about national legislation aimed against so-called nonassimillable aliens, were started by the league. Speaking tours by campaigners for the amendment, addresses at moving picture theaters, advertising, use of the channels of fraternal societies, and other campaign methods, were proposed and referred to an executive committee headed by State Controller John S. Chambers. Other members of the executive committee are Mr. Traeger, Joseph A. Garry of San Francisco and Senator Inman. Four other members will be appointed before the next committee meeting, which will be held in San Francisco, September 8. NEW HUNT FOR CABRILLO TOMB Santa Barbara Chamber Will Organize For Search. Search for the grave of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, Portuguese explorer, who discovered the California coast, is to be systematically undertaken by the Santa Barbara County Chamber of Commerce and allied organizations. Senator James D. Phelan has notified Secretary Charles W. Kirk of the chamber that after an exhaustive research of early California and ancient archives he has established beyond a STRENUOUS PROTEST AGAINST JAP NATURALIZATION Oriental Exclusion League Sends Resolution to Colby. Resolutions protesting against the reported acceptance by the State Department of a plan to naturalize the Japanese living in this country were adopted by the Japanese Exclusion League of California, an organization formed to work for the initiative amendment to the California anti-alien land law. The resolutions were telegraphed to Secretary of State Colby. Reports from Japanese newspaper sources Tuesday said Secretary Colby and the Japanese Ambassador had agreed on naturalization coupled with the termination of further Japanese immigration into the United States were characterized by the State Department as premature. The new organization which was formed at a meeting of organizations interested in the proposed amendment had for its announced object not only prevention of land leases and sales to allens ineligible to citizenship, but also further restrictive measures against them. J. M. Inman of Sacramento was elected president and the following vice-presidents named: Daniel C. Murphy, F. T. Beborgall, Walter McGovern and Mrs. Aaron Sloss of San Francisco; Walter J. Traeger of Los Angeles. A sixth vice-president, was to be named from some California farmers' organization. The league adopted a declaration of policy which included the following search for the grave of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, Portuguese explorer, who discovered the California coast, is to be systematically undertaken by the Santa Barbara County Chamber of Commerce and allied organizations. Senator James D. Phelan has notified Secretary Charles W. Kirk of the chamber that after an exhaustive research of early California and ancient archives he has established beyond a doubt that the body of the explorer was buried on San Miguel Island, off the Santa Barbara coast. Failure of the other searching parties to find the grave probably was due, he believes, to the manner of conducting the search and the fact that possibly the high winds of the centuries have buried the grave deep in the shifting sands. Senator Phelan urges the search as the duty of all the people of California and particularly the residents of Santa Barbara. "A monument should be erected on the mainland shore to the memory of Cabrillo," the Senator says. "His ashes should rest in a casket of gold strewn with poppies, and some monumental shaft bespeak the gratitude of all the people of California." In the search Santa Barbara will ask the co-operation of Los Angeles. Students of early California history will be called upon to contribute all the information they may have on the subject of Cabrillo's death and burial. Interest is heightened because of the finding on the beach twelve miles north of Santa Barbara of the mighty beams of what is believed to have been a gallon of early days, which had been wrecked at some remote period and buried deep in the sands. It was brought ashore after the ocean had scoured out its sandy grave. LARGER Y. M. C. A. PROGRAM OF INTEREST TO ANAHEIM At a meeting held last week in the office of Chas. Eygabroad, the County Y.M.C.A. Secretary, George S. Chessum discussed with the local men the larger plans for the Association work in the County this year. With three men giving their entire time to the Y.M.C.A. work for the boys and young men throughout the county, every community can be served in a much more definite way. It is planned that one secretary shall reside in the Northern power being drawn from a far-off power house that, in turn, would get its initial energy from water. At present a large portion of the freight hauled by steam roads is coal to feed their own locomotives. With electric engines, drawing their power from a transmission line, the cars now devoted to local hauling could be diverted to the use of other freight and the coal now used by the railroads could be consigned to the public. Congress did not take final action on the water power measure until after consideration extending over a long period. It is to be hoped that the law itself will not be equally slow in becoming a public benefit. A return to the Sunset Limited, life's crack train or San Francisco and announced by the October 1.

Traeger of Los Angeles. A sixth vice-president, was to be named from some California farmers' organization. The league adopted a declaration of policy which included the following three features: "First, to the admission of immigrants of any people incapable for any reason of assimilating with the white race and of furnishing desirable material for American citizenship." "Second, the granting of citizenship either by birth or by naturalization to any such people." "Third the owning, leasing or control by them of agricultural lands." The league pledged itself to institute a national campaign against the admission to the United States of peoples that cannot be assimilated. Organizations from all parts of the State interested in the proposed initiative amendment of the California anti-allen land law were represented at the meeting. State Senator J. M. Inman of Sacramento, president of the California Oriental Exclusion League, presided, and Samuel M. Shortridge and Senator James D. Phelan, candidates for United States Senator, were on the platform. Among organizations represented were the State Federation of Labor, Loyal Order of Moose, San Francisco Labor Council, Spanish-American War Veterans, Berkeley Defense Corps, Native Sons of the Golden West, American Legion of California, California Oriental Exclusion League, by Mrs. D.Woodbridge of Roseville, San Diego County Anti-Asiatic League, by A.A.F.

Chessum discussed with the local men the larger plans for the Association work in the County this year. With three men giving their entire time to the Y.M.C.A. work for the boys and young men throughout the county, every community can be served in a much more definite way. It is planned that one secretary shall reside in the Northern section of the county and organize and promote the work here living in Anaheim or Fullerton. The local committee consisting of Chas. Eygabroad chairman; Harry S. Jayne, Sec-Treas.; M. E. Beebe, G. H. Goodale, and F. N. Gibbs, are enthusiastic over the prospects of enlarging work for the boys of Anaheim and the north. Last year Anaheim had three of the best Boys Groups in the County and the Hi-Y Club was ranked with the best in the state. A County Budget of about $12,000 will make possible the promotion of the local work here in Anaheim. The dates of Sept. 10th to 15th have been selected as the County wide dates, with the Anaheim dates set for 14th and 15th. Every effort is being made to advance the work so that the enlarged program may begin immediately. Governor Cox asked a Columbus audience what the soldiers would say about the Wilson league of nations. Well, the soldiers of the Grand Army in national encampment assembled at Columbus last year, denounced it as a scheme for the surrender of American independence. A poll of the soldiers of the world war would show that a vast majority resent the effort of Democratic politicians to make it appear that what they fought for was the Democratic party and the Wilson league instead of the flag of their country.

SUNSET LIMITED ON AGAIN A return to the pre-war service of the Sunset Limited, the Southern Pacific's crack train operating between San Francisco and New Orleans, is announced by the management for October 1. The new schedule will cut the running time between the two cities of the fruit industry having a personal knowledge of the Mediterranean countries. The statement follows in part: "The danger that lies in the Mediterranean sea to the grape industry of California is that during the last five years the collection of currants, raisins and sultanas from the Canary islands to the Grecian archipelago has been rendered impossible due to the lack of small steamers to serve for that purpose, and the result has been an accumulation of these products for which there was no available market." "The fact that the price of raisins and kindred fruits in this country has reached such an interesting value, as compared with pre-prohibition and war times, has opened a field for the invasion of these products, which can SUNSET LIMITED ON AGAIN A return to the pre-war service of the Sunset Limited, the Southern Pacific's crack train operating between San Francisco and New Orleans, is announced by the management for October 1. The new schedule will cut the running time between the two cities by eleven hours on the east-bound trip, and by two hours coming west. The train will have an all-Pullman complement. The Sunset Limited, since its inauguration many years ago, has always been popular with the traveler for it is not alone the line of lowest altitude between the Crescent City and the Golden Gate, but it has the distinction of connecting two cities famous the world over for cuisine excellence. The New York World assigns "Lafayette, we have quit!" as a campaign slogan to Senator Harding, and "Carry on!" to Governor Cox. Very good slogans at that. For history records that when Cornwallis had surrendered at Yorktown, Lafayette quit and went back to France, exercising eminently good judgment in permitting American statesmen to make their own peace with Britain and to work out the salvation of their own country in their own way. And, judging from the newspaper accounts of Governor Cox's barnstorming expeditions, the Democratic candidate is carrying on something awful. Fred Warner, a young man of nice appearance, paid $10 for an experience and claimed to be satisfied. He was picked off a Santa Fe train by Joe Murillo, charged with trespass and when taken to the city hall he was found to have $40 in his pocket, besides a collection of valuable trinkets. He claimed that he had a friend in San Diego whom he wished to visit and thought he would beat his way on the train, "just to see if it could be done." He is satisfied that it can't be lone and after paying the $10 he purchased a ticket to Los Angeles where he said he was going to work. ANAHEIM EVIDENCE FOR ANAHEIM PEOPLE The new invention is a beet harvester, which automatically plows, pulls and tops the beets and makes them ready for transportation to the sugar factory. The inventor of the new machine is S. B. Beale, of Los Angeles, who demonstrated the new device last week before representatives of the Orange county sugar factories. The demonstration was witnessed by C. C. Collins and W. C. Collins, of Santa Ana, who are financially interested in the invention and who have hopes of "cashing in" on their new venture. The new machine is said to represent five years' work on the part of the inventor, and while many trials have been given the machine in private and many imperfections remedied as the result, the only real public test was the demonstration at the Los Alamitos Sugar factory last week which was witnessed by President and General Manager Peck of the Anaheim factory. C. A. Johnson, manager of the three factories in this county controlled by the Holly Sugar Company; J. Ross Clark and General Manager Hamilton of the Los Alamitos factory and Joseph Sailler engineer of the American Sugar Company. Those who witnessed the demonstration were enthusiastic over the success of the machine and several are said to have expressed themselves as convinced of the practical merits of the new invention, but the idea so far worked out prover that a machine can do the work now handled by thousands of Mexicans, and it is said that as a result of the public demonstration assurance of ample financial backing has been given by the sugar interests to enable the inventor to perfect the machine. Last week's trial of the machine was considered exceptionally severe because of the condition of the land and the quality of the crop. Beet growers will hall such an invention with open arms. Such a machine would not only add speed to the harvesting of the crop, thus saving thousands of dollars annually to growers whose beets now lay in the fields sometimes for days waiting on the arrival of the toppers and in the mean-time losing much of their sugar con- ANAHEIM EVIDENCE FOR ANAHEIM PEOPLE The Statements of Anaheim Residents Are Surely More Reliable Than Those of Utter Strangers. Home testimony is real proof. Public statements of Anaheim people carry real weight. What a friend or a neighbor says compels respect. The word of one whose home is far away invites your doubts. Here's an Anaheim statement. And it's for Anaheim people's benefit. Such evidence is convincing. That the kind of proof that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Ask your neighbor. W. H. Bandy, 119 N. Olive St., says "I found Doan's Kidney Pills to be a good remedy for disordered kidneys. I had a lameness and dull aching across my back that made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting. My kidneys didn't act right either. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and used them as directed. They were what I needed and soon fixed me up in good shape and the aching left my back." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Bandy had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Warnings of a newly discerned "Mediterranean peril," calculated to strike its first blow at the muchbuffeted grape industry of California and threatening to extend to various other industries of this section were issued today. The importation last month of 14,000,000 pounds of raisins "laid down in New York at from 10 to 12 cents a pound" in the face of unprecedented high prices for the American product is cited as an instance of the magnitude of the impending blow to the grape industry. Fruit and vegetable products accumulated for five years in that fertile stretch of land skirting the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean from the island of Crete to western Morocco, together with a well defined plan to dump them in America form this peril. The statement and the foregoing figures taken from port records was issued by a prominent representative competition with American products upon a basis of at least 150 per cent less. "We have seen the disaster in the lemon industry. We can see no reason why the foregoing system should not be applied to Spanish and Portuguese products in competition with ours. The problem is—how can we protect our industries against the Mediterranean peril?" Dr. Otto Bell, San Diego dentist, began serving a ten-day sentence in the Orange county jail Friday for speeding. At the time of his trial several days ago Dr. Bell pleaded guilty and in order to gain a few days' time to attend to pressing business affairs filed notice of appeal and was released on $100 ball. He did not intend to perfect the appeal, and returned Friday to begin serving the ten-day term imposed upon him by Justice J. B. Cox. Just about the time Bell entered the jail door, Dist. Atty. L. A. West received the following telegram from C. C. Young, acting Governor of the State of Sacramento: "It has been reported to me that Justice Cox has imposed an unduly severe sentence on one Dr. Bell for speeding. Has the case been called to the attention of the local board." In reply, the District Attorney's office wired Young that Bell had started serving his term, but his case would be taken up with the parole board next week. And commenting upon the telegram, Justice Cox said if more "unduly severe" sentences were imposed on speed law violators the death and accident rate for automobiles would be greatly reduced. More than 200,000 pounds of paper will be required in the printing of the 1,400,000 copies of a pamphlet containing the twenty referendum and initiative measures to be voted on at the general election in November, according to State Printer Robert Telfer. Under provisions of the state law, copies of these pamphlets shall be forwarded to clerks of the counties in the state. Alpine county will receive the smallest number of pamphlets according to Telfer, who said that county was assigned only ninety-two. Los Angeles was given the largest assignment, over 350,000.
