HONOLULU, Nov. T.
Should the emergency arise.
we offer ourselves courag-
eously to the state, thus to
guard and maintain the
prosperity of our imperial
throne"
This was the message delivered
to the Emperor of Japan in Tokyo
on Sunday by a special messenger
sent by the Japanese residents of
Hawaii. Accompanying the mes
sage, which pledged in such un-
equivocal terms support to the
home government in the event of
war, was an address conveying in
extravagant phrase the loyalty of
the emperor's subjects in these
islands and acquainting his maies-
ty with the progress they had
made in learning, in assimilating
the benefits of the white mans
civilization and in material pros
perity.
Perhaps it did not require this plain
declaration to acauaint Americans with
the fact that in the event OF conflict
between this nation and the arrogant
little conqueror Of the Slav every Japa-
nese resident OF America-colony and
mainIand-could be counted upon as
foe. ready to do his utmost. openly or

Unborn patriotism OF the brown man is

was prepared and forwarded well Illus

PAVING TALK ON.
CRE0S0TE :
BLOCK
Extracts From Prominent
Journals Where Material
Has Been Used.

Sioux City people will be gratified
to know that the new creosote block
paving put on Fourth street has the
approval of the United States govern
ment. In a bulletin issued by the for
est service OF the department of
agriculture the following appears:
Recent use of rectangular wooden
blocks for street pavements has given
excellent results. Many engineers be-
l1eve that these blocks, when proper
ly creosoted and laid on concrete
foundation. make pavement which
possesses high excellence in a greater
number of essentials than any other
now in use. Among these qualities
are great smoOthness, low traction re-
ststance, minimum noise, and, con-
Sldering its smOOthneSs, comparatively
little slipperiness.
Wood pavement is also easy to
clean and to maintain, and when we'll
laid, gives promise OF proving more
durable than any other, except one
constructed of the hardest granite"
The total amount of this pavement
in use in the United States at the
end OF 1905, was about ], 100000 square
yards, equivalent to nearly eighty
miles of pavement on a street thirty
feet wide.
Sioux City Tribune, Oct. "a, 1906.
"A point in its (creosote wood
block favor is that although it is a
smooth pavement, it furnishes good
foothold for horses on account of the
Welding of the fibres of the wood. The
fact that it is smooth like asphalt,
makes it very much less noisy than
the stone block pavements and the
blow OF horses hoofs are muffled and
deadened so that the usual clatter of
the stone pavement is almost entirely
done away with. In many cities this
feature of the pavement has brought
1t into much appreciated use for resi-
dence streets where quietness is de-
sirable and also around hospitals, Of
flee buildings and schools for the
same reason.
Such pavements have been in use
in Europe for upwards of a genera
ton, and it is strange that with the
cheapness and wide use of wood for
other purposes in this country that
American cities have been so slow
to make use of it for paving. Its
durability makes its use economical
under either heavy traffic on business
streets or the light traffic or residence
streets. and its silence makes its
adoption popular everywhere"
