Tho Americaa citizen must bo -it
« loss sometimes lc- know what to
believo. Ho is told one minute that
Japan is shrewdly plotting to war
ui-ou tho United States on<} grab
out island possessions. He is in
form* d the next minute that Japan's
attitude toward America, is most
cordial and peaceful.
Whith is the correct view? Frank
ly. we do not know. But it Is en
tiruly reasonable to suppose that
Japanese statesmen arc not so
t""o! as deliberately to plan a
war upon Uncle Sanu Rather, they
are as averse to such a couflict as
c ur own statesmen.
The coutinuance of friendly re
lations depends, reality, upo«
the maintenance of a just policy by
the t-vo countries toward each other
and upon tho buillinjj uo of a pub
lic opinion iu America and Japau
which will not distrust the other
u>untt;."s motives. The Japan Ad
vertiser. published in Tokyo by Am
ericans. and the leading foreign
daily o' that city, offers a very
good vehicle for the exchange of
amicable views by the leaders of
politico and thought of Jajjan and
America in a special Panama-Pacif
ic exposition editloa lately issued.
It contains excel lea; mess-iges from
President Wilsoa ai'd Couut Okuma
an" other celebrities on both sides
of the water, and, priutea in both
languages and spree.'! broadcast i»
the two lands as it has been, it un
doubtedly will do much to foster
ha".': r rolaitons between the lead
ing race of the Orient and the
vounc nation of the Occident.
The work of the jingo press iu
America and Japaa iu stirring up
strife is not very laudable, but it is
nicely offset by such publications as
th. Japan Advertiser, which is
doing all it can to stamp out the
distrust which may exist between
Tokyo and \Vashiugtou.—St. Paul

INTERIOR ALASKA
PRODUCTION WILL
EXCEED LAST YEAR
From all parts of interior Alaska,
the reports received in Fairbanks
iudicatc that the output is much
la.'ger than in several seasons.
From Ruby, Iditarori, Circle, the
Koyukuk and Hot Springs, the re
ports are to the effec* that busi
«f^s conditions iu general have
improved during the last six months
and a general air t! optimism pre
vails.
Fa4rbanks heeds the interior
camps by boosting its output fully
half a million dollars; Ruby's pro
dution will be a quarter of <1
million larger, according to the Ru
by Record-Citizen; while Circle's
output is more than a hundred
thousand more than in 1914. Just
how the Koyukuk production will
compare with last year is not
known, but letters received from
there during the last month, iudicat

big Alanley plant do.'ng well at
Iditarod, and the dredjri-a running

slightly in excesB of 1914.
Recent arrivals from the Circle
country say that the Berry dredge
pa-id for itself during the first
few mouths of operation, and the
outfit U expected to clear up fully
a hundred thousand dollars to the
jrood. No one knows jUBt what tho
dred?? did, as the mangaement
kept a secret the exact amount
of the output.
The output of the Hot Springs
country is not known yet, but A.
Bock, the owner of much ground
in the camp, stated when in Fair
banks tLat he was satisfied that tlie
! production would bo fully as large
as in 1914.
With all these encouraging re
ports, the business people and resi
dents of the interior are resting
e;isier than they have for several
years.—Fairbanks Times.

Anoionts and tha Aurora Borealia.
Many people bellere that the aurora |
borcslls la a phenomenon peculiar to !
modern times. But this is not true.
The onclen Ls used to call It chnsmata, j
bolldee ni'd trabes, names which ex
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
on by the superstitions barbarians as
an omen of direful slaughter, so It Is
not unusual for descriptions of bloody
battles to contain allusions to northern
lights. In the annuls of Cloon-mac
noise It is recorded that In 088 A. D.,
accompanying a terrible battle be
tween Lelnster and Muuster, Ireland,
a purple aurora lit tho northern skies,
foretelling tho slaughter.
