The results of | the British Imperial institute exper! ment are declared to show that the Dougtas fir stands unrivaled for practically all buikiing, finishing and woodworking purposes. The Dougias fir ta these tests was lim competition with Russian and }Seandinavian fir and the English oak, Findings of the British Imperial institute are taken as standard thru out the world, according to W. R Alien, manager of the West Coast} Lumbermen’s assoctation “It bs difficult to over-empha- shze the value of the British Ime perinl institute's findings in re gard to the Douglas fir,” Allen sald Friday. “It undoubtedly will stimulate the expert of Douglas fir to all parts of the world. “This announcement, together with the return of the pound sterling to par, which we look for this winter, should produce » very marked increase in our for- eign Douglas fir business. “Twenty years ago the British put tn Douglas fir on some of their rail roads, and 17 years, later found they had lasted better than all of the other woods they had tried.” Allen stated that the Douglas fir business in other parts of the United States was showing an increase also. In Philadeiphia recently it was de termined to use Douglas fir to the | exclusion of other woods for a great many purposes. One reason for this, Allen said, ts that the carpenters| find the Douglas fir easier to work| = ) than other varieties, | “Another thing that helps, “Al-| }len said, “is that the Pacific coast }lumbermen are producing Douglas} } fir on an eight-hour basis.

The 2,000 Orientals who crowded |into the rich Yakima reservation lands when the white men were at war and in recent months while lands under state of Washing- lton control were becoming harder and \harder to obtain are beginning to move out. They practically all will have to go dur- jing the coming months. Other communities are warned by the American Legion men here to watch for a possible influx and to take steps to prevent one should it come. The Legion's victory is the greatest single step which has been made yet to KEEP THE PACIFIC COAST A WHITE MAN’S COUNTRY. YAKIMA RESERVATION AS BIG AS KING COUNTY “Tts magnitude will be realized when {t Is understood that the Yakima reservation nearly as large as all King county and contains some of the richest agricultural lands in the state. Eighty thousand acres is already under culti- vation, 180,000 is being placed under irrigation and the annual crop already amounts to eight or ten million dollars. And, of course, the records of the present and past are as nothing to the prospects for the future when development |takes place. The Japs first began appearing in this rich region nearly ten years ago, but not until the war was under way, and | America’s white-man power was either in military service lor engaged in essential civilian pursuits, did the influx be- come serious. Then they came by the dozens, by the hundreds. Part of the land had been patented by emancipated Indians, and such tracts were often acquired. In a far jgreater number of cases five-year leases were made with} the government, the Japs first procuring the Indians’ rec- ommendation in their favor. They then went to work in typical Jap fashion to consolidate their hold, operating thru lassociations to conduct all their business enterprises, |schools, churches, etc. SOLDIERS CAME BACK TO |FIND JAPS WINNING The service men came back from France to find the yellow men deeply entrenched, to face the likelihood that the great Yakima reservation would eventually become as Japanese as Tokyo itself. Then the legislature enacted the anti-alien land law which makes it far more difficult than before for the Japs to obtain land under State of Washington jurisdiction. This, of course, led the Japs to redouble their efforts to gobble up the reservation. The situation was all the more maddening in light of the fact that the government itself, thru the Indian bureau, is spending $350,000 a year on irrigation projects in the reser- vation and, thru the reclamation service, vast other sums which help in reclaiming these desert acres for great future agricultural production. Secretary Fall, of the interior department, came thru here a year ago, listened to the service men’s plea and, 80 days later, from Washington, issued an order that no more of these lands should be leased to persons not eligible for Amer- ican citizenship. The Legion members hailed this as a great victory. But they had not calculated the full limit to which the tricky Japs would go in their effort to stay where they were not wanted. After some months it was observed that the same Japs were working and living on the same tracts, in spite of leases expiring. Investigation disclosed the “hiring contracts,” a subterfuge which also is being widely employed in the Puget Sound country. |HIRING CONTRACT HAS AT LAST BEEN BEATEN A “hiring contract” is nothing on earth but a lease to Japs. |Tt is made out naming some renegade white man as the lessee land headed “HIRING CONTRACT” instead of “L’ EASE”; Under its provisions the Japs go on as before, When this p: ice was established the Legion men re- newed their fight and again carried the matter to Secretary Fall. He has now issued a second order which strikes at the ‘heart of the “hiring contract” system. It provides that leases | shall only be made to persons eligible for American citizen- | ship who will employ on the land WHITE labor. The old leases are expiring by the score. The bulk of them | were made in the war years of 1917 and 1918 for five-year periods Ev less. y time one runs out a group of Japs finds itself land- They must move, But where? ‘That is what is worry- In another article The Star will tell you what the American Legion of this region has up its sleeve qn that subject.
