NOTHING IN IT. liaron Yasua Ucliida, Ambassador in Washington from the Japanese Em. pcror, formally and officially denied any hostile intention on the part of liis nation towards the United States, cither in Hawaii or elsewhere. Japan is for peace with the United States, according to his report. lie said: "It is nonsense, and unjust to the Japanese government, to attribute such acts as are intimated in these dis Datchcs. If you investigate the his tory of Japanese immigration to the Hawaiian islands you will linil that it began about twenty-live years ago. The old royal government needed Jap anese labor to work the sugar planta tions and asked Japan to furnish it. There was some hesitancy at first, but finally the request was complied with and immigration continued to the islands from my country for a number of years. "It lias practically stopped now, as it has to all American possessions, and. iii fact, to every foreign power. Our government -wants our people at home we have our own international problems to solve; we have Korea and Manchuria to attend to. "The deep-thinking Americans cer tainly attribute no ulterior motive to the presence of Japanese in the Ha waiian islands, the Philippines or any other land under the American nag The recent treaty has brought the two countries even closer together than before. I and other Japanese in this country i arc deeply chagrined and grieved to sec this war agitation.- "With respect to Mexico, I can only add what I have said bclore. mere is no league between that country and laDan in existence or in contempla tion that could possibly be interpreted as antagonistic to America. In tact there is no compact between the two countries that the world does not know of. I have denied such intima tions and insinuations so often re cently, and so, I understand, has the afcxican Ambassador, that it is time our words should have the effect of killing such rumors. I repeat again that the present troubles in Mexico have absolutely no connection, direct ly or indirectly, with Japan. "There can be no serious misunder standing between my country and the United States. Aside from trade re lations ,the traditional friendship be tween the two countries is too great and too-strong for the severing of present relations. Nearly 35 per cent of Japan's export trade is with the United Stales. It would be manifest ly absurd to destroy this or even hamper it. Japan and America are friends of many years' standing and it is necessary that this friendship con tinue. The two governments, I think, completely understand each other. "'Hie whole agitation is preposter ous. It is nonsensical. The thinking people of America, I am sure, charac terize it as such."

S. are watch ing very closely the doings down around the border of Mexico. Uncle Sam has some soldiers there watching the war between the people of Mexico, a civil affair, of the bushwhacking character. Just why the U. S. has sent a small army there is an enigma to the people of the country. The presi dent seems to think it is none of their business. Some people think it is more politics than anything. Wonder what it is? Albany's revival has been attracting considerable local attention. It may be true that we arc told of our sins right along in the ordinary services; but the average person becomes hard ened to that, and it falls off like water from a duck. A revivalist, though, makes a whole community take notice, particularly when he touches on every day subjects like dancing, card playing anu incaicrs. inisis cvaiigciisuc uusi ness. A man must be convinced of his sins before true conversion ;an follow. Many people are wedded to the pleasures of the world, and there in lies the stumbling block in evangel istic work, hence the special work along this line. These meetings are making a strong impression, with prospects of iwinancnt good. There are signs of a war between Russia and China. Russia is again attempting some of its despotic meth ods on China, supposed to be the weakest big nation in the world. Chi na, though, has been practicing mili tary anil naval methods and some things indicate will make Russia earn her money if it comes to blows.

Ship Ahoy, under the direction of Fred Carlyle, of Berkeley, was pre sented last night by the high school students to a large audience, greatly pleased with the entertaining offer ing. It is an extravaganza full of catchy numbers. The music is snappy and bright. The parts were selected with good judgment. Miss Lora Tay lor did well bs Mdlle de Kekiyek a a prima donna, and Miss Beatrice Ire land's singing as Mdlle de Cogniac excelled. Margaret Monteith was yery sweet and bright as the soubrette. Alice Ireland as Mrs. Jones made the hit of the evening, without saying any thing. Nothing professional has ever excelled her presentation of" the part. Too often amateurs overdo such a part. Miss Ireland was just right. Morris Bigbee as Capt. Juggins did some star work, suiprising all with his splendid interoretation of an English captain. Glen Taylor had a good makeup and did well asBill Barnacles. Fred Carlyle him self presented the part of Col. Blundell in a manner hard to beat. Blanche Hnmmell and Zona Raight were good as the lieutenants. The solos of George Strine showed a fine voice and many compliments were given him. The specialties and choruses were excellent, well costumed and drilled. Miss Maud Blount received generous applause for her solo work in a Japan ese stunt, Lotus San, a good one.

S. and Japan are on splendid terms, regular chums. If you would know the correct thing to wear, come to Albany. The Oregon system is sprucing up for the coming of Col. Roosevelt.

Then look out. Isn't it about time Mr. Carnegie was heard from in reference to that library. Now we will have a park. It should be made a good one, right at our doors. Taft is evidently preparing for a grandstand play on the Mexican border. One of the most unsavory reputations a man can have is that of being a dead beat City councils often keep renewing street car franchises that ought to be annulled. Dramatic art itself is a great gift, though it is made an instrument for evil by some. During the first two months of 1911 Portland beat Seattle over two ;to one on building permits. The Bryant Park is a go, a fine thin for Albany, insuring also the perma nence of the Chautauqua. Wanted at Portland, a square mayor. Then let the voters hunt for him, no t the candidate for the voters. When all the nations of the world will agree to put uo their guns peace con ferences will amount to something. Joe Cannon says the devil is dead, but there is no better evidence that the devil is very much alive than Joe him self. Portland is being combed for a suita ble candidate for mayor, and it will end up with just some common scrub politician being selected. The owners of an old slough down at Salem want $'20 a front foot, from the Oregon Electric, which offers $5. No one else would give anywhere near that much. A Portland woman is said to boast of over $2,000 worth of cut glass and other things won at cards, the society passion of the day. A good example for her children. The move for cheaper pavement is the proper one. Between $11 and S12 for a running foot for the residence district is too much, even for a splendid pavement. The person having two lots on a corner has to pat up nearly $1500, between $5 and $6 a running foot for half the street. According to the Oregonian P. A Cochrane, now of Portland, formerly of Woodtutn, previously of Lirn coinJ is bein urged by his friends to be a candidate for (J. S senator four years from now. Perue's friends true urged him to run for congress, 'and he was immensely left. Mr. Cochrane seems not to have learned the difference be tween genuine and spurious advice.
