DEMANDS THAT RAILROAD
INSTALL BLOCK SYSTEM

Olympia, Dec THE state rail-
road commission has made complaint
against the Northern Pacific and Or
dered hearing before itself on JAN
uary 20 on an order to compel the
railroad to establish a block system
or other device for the protection of
the tracks between Pullman Junction
and Pullman. The commission in it's
complaint charges that from Pullman
Junction the road runs through a
rock cut and a very crooked course
down grade to the city, SO that train
men on incoming trains cannot see
whether the main line is occupied at
the station. There have been a num-
Der of collisions there, two of them
reported to the commission within the
last five weeks. The commission con-
dennis the conditions and cites the
road to show why proper safety de-
vices should not be installed.

Recommendation in Behalf Of Exposi.

Friend.
Toxic, Dec. 9.-Viscount Kaneko has
cabled President Roosevelt as follows:
"The whole empire is rejoicing at
your strong recommendation that
America should participate in our ex-
position and thank you on behalf OF
and with the authority of the people
of Japan. (Signed) KANEKO."
This dispatch is significant as Wis
count Kaneko is member of the
privy council.
In an interview with the represent
alive of the Associated Press, Wis
count Kaneko said:
President Roosevelt is always the
firm friend of Japan and he brings
out before the world what Japan is
whenever the opportunity offers. His
message of 1906 eulogized japan in
words which have become classic
with the Japanese people. This year
again he has clearly stated the post
ton of Japan, and his message in re-
lation thereto is commented upon
everywhere with appreciation and joy.
President Roosevelt's message is re-
garded as indicative of the true spirit
of the American people, depicting the
character of the true American, who
says what he thinks and does what he
says"

building in Alaska on a larger scale
than ever will be undertaken next year,
If the war department is able to in
duce congress to make a special APP
preparation of 100000 for the pur-
pose.
An estimate for that amount was
submitted to congress yesterday by the
acting secretary of war. The letter
containing the estimates is very brief,
merely saying that this sum is desired
for the construction of wagon roads
and trails in Alaska, and that, the
greater part of the amount will be
expended on the road from Valdez into
the interior and for road out from
Haines Mission.
Maj. Richardson, president of the
Alaska road commission, is now in
ence with officials of the war depart
ment in regard to the proposed appro-
priation. The only funds available or
iginally for the construction of roads
and trails in Alaska were those COM
prised in what is known as the Alas
ka fund in the federal treasury, de-
rived from licenses outside Of incor-
pOrated towns in the territory.
Two years ago this fund was supple
mented by special appropriation Of

all been expended or obligated, and
some valuable work, in road building,
has been done under the direction Of
the road commission.
The collections of license money
available for road building in Alaska
amounted to approximately 100000
in the last fiscal year.
