It refers casually to the having been on the Yakima reservation “for 20 where they “made the Yakima cantaloupe famous.” Now there may have been one Jap or perhaps a half n of them in that district 20 years ago (The Star has reliable information on the subject), but it is a fact tt virtually all of the unwelcome influx came, not 20 ago, as the Jap writer asserts, but five and four ago. Five and four years ago; note that. And what was happening five and four years ago? War. The young ite men of the Yakima country and of all the rest of he Pacific Northwest were thronging to Camp Lewis and to other mobilization points and being hurried to France. ‘That is when the Japs went into the reservation, that when they bribed the Indians with high rentals for the of their rich acres—in 1917 and 1918, when the white h were engaged in more serious business. Whether the Japs made the Yakima cantaloupe famous iS another question. At any rate, they would not have ade them famous or have grown any crop successfully it had not been for the hundreds of thousands of dol- ps which Uncle Sam has poured into reclamation projects. Secretary Fall is dead right in his rulings which make impossible for those lands to remain in the future in hands of aliens ineligible for American citizenship. is right in insisting that leases go to Americans or ons who eventually can become Americans, And every American will back him in that determination. skeleton of the largest animal ever found ts dug up prehistoric South America.
