SAKHALIN A COSTLY PRIZE.
Little Revenue Derived by Japan From ne
New Possession.

A statement recently made before the
budget committee Of the Japanese Diet
brought to public attention for the first time
since the close OF the war details OF what
Japan lie doing with the southern half Of the
island Of Sakhalin, awarded to her as one Of
the prizes OF victory by the Peace Of Ports
mouth. From what Mr.. Kumagae, chief
Of the civil government stan In the new
province, had 10 say 1t appears that the
empire has not begun to realize much from
It, nov possession.
The head Of the civil government which
the Japanese have established at Korsakof
"a a capital told the committee that much
money would have 70 be expended in devel-
oping the bleak island before any great
amount Of revenue could be secured.
Since Sakhalln fell into the grip Of Japanese
armies, one million yen has been given By
the Japanese treasury annually for the sup
port Of the machinery Of civil government
established there.
From thirty Japanese residents during
the Russian occupation the number OF the
EmperoT's subjects living on the northern
island has increased to 10000, according TO
Mr.. Kpmagae's figures, despite the arctic
cold Of the winters.
The Japanese officials have systemat-
ically divided their general inquiry as 10
the productivity Of sakhAlin into several
channels. Az the pI esent time they have
partial reports upon Tire future Of marine
products. mines. agriculture aud cattle
