u s WON'T PROTEST FLAG INCIDENT But OPPOSES CONTNJAN
CHINA AND JAPAN TO
SETTLE CONTROVERSY
PEAcEABLY, IS REPORT

Especial Cable to the Nippu Jill
TOXIC. Japan, Feb. 9.--An amicable
settlement OF the difficulties which
have arisen between Japan and China
during the past week will be effected
within a few days to the satisfaction
OF both governments. according to a
message received here from E. Hioka,
Japanese minister al Pekin.
Minister Hioki was in conference
yesterday with President Yuan Shih-
Kai and reports that negotiations are
proceeding favorably.
The difficulties between japan and
China arose through the sending OF a
note to the Japanese government by
Yuan Shih-Kai asking that Japan re-
move its troops from the Shantung
on which is located Using
tau, the former German naval base
and taken by the Japanese
at the beginning OF the war.
In reply to the note, Japan made de-
mands upon China for the privilege
OF building railroads and operating
certain mines in the new republic.
These difficulties aroused considerable
in the local Japanese COM
munity, the Nipponese press even go
ing so far as to hint at war as pos
sible outcome of the breach between
the nations.

FENCE Day Is
50 SUCCESSFUL
IT'S EXTENDED
Workers Find Much TO Do and
Suggest 'scIean- Up Cam
paign From 9th to 18th

Down came the ugly old fences
miles OF them, some estimate, and
hundreds Of householders joined hear
tily today in Honolulu's first Fence
Day" proposed BY the Ad Club and
carried out with the effective coopera-
ton of the women OF the Outdoor Cir
Gle. What happened and what is still
happening is told below In an article
written for the Star-B Bulletin by one
OF the women who took an active part.
There are days and days Flag day,
Arbor day, Lincoln and Washington
day-but today Is Fence Day The
hours have been too few and the cam
paign has had to be extended from
the 9Th to the 18th. The workers
find that there is so much gained by
personal encouragement and help.
Great mirth brought out q whole neigh
borhood on Wilder avenue when an en-
thusiastic lady pushed over about 20
feet OF board fence.
In one place a property owner
agreed that he would rather have a
hedge than fence. So the commit
tee drove down to the next corner and
gathered up about 100 slips from a
place where trimming was going on.
The result was that the fence came
down and this afternoon real live
hedge is growing in its place.

horses or chickens let it be a repair

look nice. The gentlemen of the Ad

MANOA owners
OBECTIIG TO
PAVING ADOPTED
Residents Protest Against the
Boards Decision Last Night
to Use Asphalt Macadam
FINAL ACTION WILL
PR0BABL Y BE HELD OFF
Declarations Made in Favor of
Warrenite, at Least for the
Main-TrayeIed Roads

I Over the issue of the type of paw
ing to be laid in the proposed Manoa
improvement district a lively contro-
yersy is rapidly developing.
As a result of action by the super
visors last night in virtually reaching
a decision that asphalt nacadam
should be the type adopted, vigorous
protest was voiced today by q num-
ber of Manoa residents Their declar-
alton is that Honomluss experience
with asphalt macadaIh gives no conf.
dence that IL will Be d epermanent'
type. and they do ndf propose to be
heavily for paving that may
go to pieces long before the life Of
the bonds expires.
The opposition of these owners is
expected to delay final action by the
supervisors. A meeting Of the city
fathers Is called for o'clock today
and last night it appeared that they
would certainly adopt asphalt macad-
am as the type to be laid, but at least
one supervisor is known to be against
asphalt and In favor of warrenite upon
the main arteries OF Manoa traffic.
Last nights meeting was slimly at
tended by Manoaites. The statement
was made today that only three bona
fide representatives OF the Manoa pro-
performers were present. Those who
the meeting spoke strongly
in favor Of cheaper type of paving
than warrenite or bitulithic. and as.

 Talking about the length of time Seward people have been in Alaska it may be said that Bob MichaelsOn who registered for the city election yesterday has been in the territory for 4l years He was a member of the jury in the territory's first murder trial. But the little news note about such facts yesterday brought out the information that Adam Block, post master at Seldovia, was a member of the group of American sOdiers that raised the Stars and Stripes at Sitka in 1867.

To the Property Owners of Seward:

There is a steady and increasing demand for property in Seward, and for improved property in particular. Customers are making inquiries of us daily ,and the supply of cabins avail able for rent is at present extremely limited. Any kind of cabin or build ing in Seward is now rentable. Eevery steamer is bringing new arrivals to Seward and it is necessary for them all to have a place to live when they arrive here.
 We want to ask every property holder in Seward to assist us in look ing after the wants of the new corners and to that end, ask that they furnish us with list of their property, that they wish to rent and we will do all that we can to lease or rent it for you.
 It does not make any difference whether it is a residence or business property, we have numerous demands for bith, and will be able to place either for you in a short time.
 It is up to the citizens of Seward to look after the comfort of the new corners and as an act of hospitality alone it is up to you to list your prop erty if you care to rent it.
 We now have few choice bargains in real estate, and if you are in the market for anything in that line, we would be pleased to go over the list with you, and possibly we may find just what you want
 Strangers are cordially invited to call at our office and make their wants known.

Valdez people have taken as quite a consolation the news published to the effect that a survey of the route between that city and Fairbanks will be surveyed this summer by the gov ernment railroad commission. One arrival on the Alameda this morning says that realestate in Valdez went up fifty per cent because of Boland's interview. How is it that man Roland gave out to newspaper an interview that the negotiations for the purchase of the road were at an end before any one else knew anything about? Five million dollars for the correct answer, four bits in cash. If Mir. Roland isn't careful he'll scare that man Lane.
 Another question: How did Roland know the government was going to survey the Valdez-Fairbanks route? How did Secrteary Lane come to tell Mir Roland of his plans after Mir. BO- land had thrown down the govern ment's offer for the Alaska Northern? Is the answer the same old fact men toned in this paper so often? Did Mir Lane say; "Cuss you I can build a railroad anywhere in spite of you and your old Alaska Northern?".
 One can see Mir. Roland standing later on the steps of the capital and shaking his fist at the window of the Interior Department like the villain in movies while the following brave words are thrown on the screen:
 "D-n, you, Lane you have spurn- ed my my offer and now take the con- sequences. To New York will I hie myself and in one of the metropolitan papers l will declare my independence of you and yours to the last genera tion even if I have to pay four bits a line to do it.
