There is a marked background of
American influence in the rise of japan
one Of the most rapid and striking
national developments recorded in his
tory.
In half a century Japan's popula-
ton has more than doubled, her wealth
has increased twenty-fold, and she has
been transformed from an almost for
gotten hermit nation into a world pow
er, a leader in industry and com
merce, with an ambition to be second
to none in capturing the markets Of
the world.
For Japan's development there are
reasons both internal and external.
First and greatest Of all was the new
mind created long ago by the Oyomei
philosophy, which threw the reaction
airy Confucian cult into comparative
shadow.
In this mental discipline it should
be noted that every one, without ex-
ception, of "the fifty-fve creators" of
the New Japan was trained, and some
proved to be past masters. Without
this element, the Japan we now know
would not, could not, have been. In
troduced from China, in the Seven
teenth century, the philosophy of
Wang Yang-ming (Oyomei in Jap
anese) was developed and taught by
books and expounders in fifty differ
ent centers.
Two hundred and fifty years of
peace sufficed for the accumulation of
the nations potencies in preparation
for emergence, when the opportunity
should come.
During all this period there was I'M
broken contact with Europe through
the Dutch at Nagasaki. Even the
Portuguese and Spanish contacts of
seventy years, with merchants, mill
tary men, and engineers, had left their
mark on the Japanese language, archi-
lecture, music, military science, and
dietetics. Then, from the Dutch, with
their mechanics physicians, language,
books, apparatus, and hospitals such
wonderful results were wrought in art,
science, invention and trade, in ideas
and commodities, that Swift, through
his knowledge of Holland, was able to
pen his extravaganza, "Gulliver's
Travels" Dutch culture had been like
seed sown everywhere.
A thousand spots Of light foretold
the coming dawn of long bright day.
Hundreds of native physicians read the
noble Dutch language and in a meas
ure practiced European medicine. At
Nagasaki, DR.. Pompe van Merdervoort
had established hospital and trained
physicians, while Dutch mechanics,
with the aid of Japanese workmen,
had built a steam yacht.

REPRESENTATIVE FUR FARMER MAGAZINE IN
 TOWN ON WAY SOUTH

A. A. Bass, representing the Fur Farmer Magazine of Seattle, who has been touring Alaska the past few months in the interest of his publica- ton, returned to Seward yesterday on the Admiral Watson. MT. Bass has visited all the fur farms in the vicin- ity of Wasilla, Kodiak, Seldovia and Cook Inlet, and leaves on the Alaska for Latouche, from which point he will visit the fur farmers of the Prince William Sound district. He states that after a careful investigation of the sections visited that it is his be- lief that no finer fur can be grown anywhere thin in this section, and de- clares that it is necessary only for the fur farmer to push his breeding stock and show his fur to get the business. The average fur is as good or better here than seen anywhere.
 MT. Bass states that the largest mink ranch he has seen west of Wis consin is located at Wasilla, owned by James St. Clair. These animals are doing fine and promise good returns to the owner. At Port Graham, John son & Thompson have a large num- Der of animals, also in fine condition. Two marten farms were visited by MT. Bass but the output is dubious as the animals so far have not bred in captivity.
 While in Kodiak he visited with MT. White, of the Southwestern Alas ka Blue Fox Farmers Association and also saw Karl Armstrong Wm. Frs kline and others. He spent a month in the Cook Inlet district, visiting 39 out of 42 farms and saw all the fur farmers but one. He also visited the Kachemak Bay district, Bradley river, Port Graham, Pt. Chatham, Seldovia, and other points. He believes that Cook Inlet is an ideal place for fur farming. Mir. Bass declares without boast that no man in the United ] States has judged or seen as many fur animals in the past six months as he has, and that he returns to Se- attle with the impression that fur farming will soon be the leading in- dustry in Alaska.
 MT. Bass left at noon to visit the silver black fox farm of MT. DeLong across the bay and will return this evening.
