Japs Resent Shaw's Remarks

y Victoria, British Columbia.
= Japanese papers brought by the
Empress of India from Yoko-
hama, contain spirited COM
ment on the alleged utterances
of former Secretary of the
Treasurer Leslie M. Shaw, that
> Japan aims at mastery of the
+Pacific and will not shrink from
= war to attain her object. The
Jill Shimpo, of Tokyo, says that
to charge Japan with seeking
the mastery of the Pacific is to
charge insanity. Japan could
not control that ocean, and is
minding her own business, part
= of which is to cultivate the
y United States friendship and
join hands with America in
opening the marts of China.

arrived in Tanana Tuesday evening
and departed down the Yukon yester-

Superintendent George j. Miller, who
is to go as far as St. Michael.
1t is known that the N. c. Co. has
received late adyices that cause the
Iditarod to be looked on in more
favorable light by its Representatives.
In fact the company men have been
informed that 81 miles of pay has been
found on Flat creek, and there will be
no further exodus from the region. 1t
is Mr.. Duncan's business to size up the
situation and determine whether post
will be established or not, and If SO.
where. If the post is established he
will probably conduct it.
While in Tanana Mr.. Duncan was
told rumor had been circulated tha,
the company had it in mind to abandon
it's Rampant post. He said the N. c.
would be in business at Rampant for
many years yet, and intimated that he
does not think the old camp has nearly
run its course.
