JAPAN EXPLAINS CONE EL|CT IN
 DEMANDS

TOXIC, March 9-The Japanese government has received a friendly note of inquiry from the United States concerning the differences be- tween the Chinese and Japanese yer sions of the demands made on China by the Japanese government. A re- ply has been forwarded to Washing ton, stating that the difference lies in the fact that in Japan's note to the powers relating to these demands. only those which had not been pre- viously made were mentioned. Ger tain old requests, although included in the demands, were not mentioned. as they were already a matter of record. So far as can be learned neither the United States nor any of the European powers object to the Japanese demands, and the impress sion is prevalent here that Japan is determined to enforce the acceptance of most, if not all, or her demands.

ALASKANS WANT WORK ON NEW
 TRUNK LINE

In order that the many experinced railroad men in Cordova and vicinity, who would willingly work on the con- struction of the government railway or on the preliminary operations. be given the first chance to secure jobs the local Chamber of Commerce. at its meeting last night, decided to take up the matter of employment with Secre- tary Lane. There are many good reasons why this labor should be sup piled in Alaska. These men know the country are familiar with conditions and hundreds of them have redered valuable service in the building of the C. R. & N. w. road, as well as on some of the greatest systems in the states. and are thus naturally best qualified to render efficient service to the gov ernment in it's new undertaking. Tn the interests of economy alone these empire builders should have first call on the pay roll, to say nothing of the justice of employing these men who are the best adapted and most en- titled 10 consideration.
 . The plan adopted by the Chamber is to open a register, where all who so de sire can enroll for employment, also naming the kind of work theyare best fitted to perform and in this ,way a valuable list can be made showing how many men and the kind of labor that Cordoya can furnish. This data will be embodied in a resolution to be sent Secretary Lane, praying for first con sideraton of Alaskans when the crews are hired, and 1t is believed that beneficial results will follow. These lists will be circulated by Sec reary Medley and w. F. Marshall.

REGULAR SERVICE CORDOvA TO
 PORT WELLS

At last nights meeting of the Cham Der of Commerce communication, received by H. I. O'Neill from w. R.

Among them are the Ester Island Mining Co.,. Home Rule Mining Co.,, Golden Eagle Mining Co.,, Cordoya Mining & Developing Co.,, Shamrock Mining Co.,, and the Nugget Mining Co. There are also a goodly number of prospectors In the camp who hail from the Copper river sec ton.
 MT. Harris has submitted a proposi- tion to the Chamber to make regular trips with his boat between Cordova and Port Wells, carrying passengers for BIO and charging $1O per ton for freight, the same rate as prevails on the boats running out of Valdez. The matter was very favorably discussed and finally referred to the Transporta. ton committee to get further details and submit It's report to the Executive committee, which has full power to act.
