Selection of New Envoy to Japan
Is of Importance to Orient

gerous tangle of misunderstanding and
suspicion
"A demand for a man well versed
in the affairs of the Far East Is
voiced by the Springfield, Mass, Re
publican, which cites the fact thai
such a choice was made in the recent
appointment as Minister to China Of
Mr.. MacMurray, the State Depart
ment's leading specialist in that field"
and continues: While Chinese af-
fairs nowadays peculiarly call for eT
pert knowledge of an intricate subject.
the position of Anlba assador to Japan
is not less important and needs a thor
ough acquaintance with the whole
question of the Far East"
* y
"One of the most difficult and i'm
portant posts in the diplomatic service
of the United States" is the declara-
tion of the Jersey City Journal, which
emphasizes the demand for "a sym
pathetic understanding of japanese
sensitiveness. The new envoy" in
the opinion. also. OF the Columbus Dis
patch, must be able TO take up this
task where Mr.. Bancroft laid it down
and achieve his measure of success in
carrying it on" The post at Toxic.
says the Philadelphia Bulletin, offers
a notable opportunity for service 10
the country and to world peace"
The need of diplomatic experience
appeals to the Knoxville Sentinel
which contends that 'if we are ever
to get the diplomatic and consular
service on a merit basis, now is the
time to start and appoint to the Jan
anese post a man who has worked up
through the diplomatic service" \
similar view is expressed by the Ohio
State Journal: The need for a trained
diplomatic service, where men might
feel assured of continuous stay, once
they are developed and ready, is illus
trated by the present situation The
large posts should be filed by promo
ton"
1T is hoped" the Providence Bulle-
tin remarks, that the President will
continue, in the choice of a new man
at Toxic, the excellent practice of nam
Ing for important ambassadorial and
consular posts officials who are par
ticularly fitted for them by their ex
perience in the foreign service and
their knowledge of conditions in the
countries to which they are sent.

fighting purposes will soon be avail
able in all the thickly settled areas
of Clarendon" Cisterns of large size
are to be built giving gravity pres
sure over considerable area, and
lake is to be made by building
dam on d creek. A few years ago
there was boom in Washington sub
urbs in Maryland and Virginia in
forming volunteer fire companies and
buying engines and hose. These fire
companies have prospered, the small
towns take pride in them and it is
believed that they are efficient. I'm
petus to the formation of these fire
companies was given by a number of
small'town fires near Washington
which caused large loss. In some of
the villages there was no fire com.
pany and fire-extinguishing apparatus.
The townsmen did their best with
bucket brigades, drawing water from
wells. In recent fires the volunteer
companies have worked creditably,
but in some cases the water supply
was too small. Activity in Clarendon
and villages in its vicinity in backing
mp the fire companies with a sufficient
water reserve shows that the people
have foresight and the spirit to give
due protection to their homes.

There is marked shifting in the
use of hardwoods. Time was when
black walnut was not appreciated, so
that 1t was used for common fence
posts or in buildings. Now it has
about the same value as. mahogany.
Its beauty in furniture when dis
covered so years ago resulted in a
craze for walnut furniture, which was
superseded a few years later in
fashion for using oak. Now oak is
out of style, and dealers are CRYING
for a market for oak. Walnut is too
scarce to come back.

Kept on getting up steam.

N0RTHLAND HUNTERS
 GREAT PARADISE
Alaska Offers More to Big Game Hunters and Fishermen Than Any of All Lands.

Sportmen of every caliber and every nationality have ransacked the wild places of the earth for game.
 The wilds of Central Africa have their beaten tracks and men have chased elephant and lion with gun and camera in a tin Lizzie, says the Cordova Times.
 The remote jungles of India have heard the crack of the high-power' ed rifle, and trembled to the death snarl of the Bengal tiger leaping through flame and smoke to his end.
 The fastnesses of Western Siberia and the deserts of the Gobi have seen the 90-horse power dragons cough fire as the white demons ran down their prey.
 But right at their doors is The Last Paradise of Sportsmen, Alas ka.
 If you want meat and hides, here are caribou moving in herds some times running into the millions. Grizzly bear, the ambition of ev- cry true sportsman, who will give his life, if needs be in the capture of thrill that has taught him how to live dangerously.
 Brown bear and white tailed deer, reindeer and mountain sheep; until you have supped on venison steak cooked on the sizzling camp fire after a long day in the hills, you do not know the full meaning
 The followers of the gentle Isaac Walton armed with rod, pipe and basket will find salmon, mountain trout and greyling to their hearts content
 Here within a few days trip to the States lies the last paradise of sportsmen, rich in meat, belts, hides, fish, game birds, amid sur roundings that cannot be equalled for health-giving ozone and a gran deur of beauty that can only be appreciated by those who have shot its vast forests and teeming rivers.
