POSTMASTER AT
HYDER THROWS
UP THE SPONGE
HYDER, Alaska, July 8.—Because
of dilatoriness on the part of the pos
tal authorities at Washington in for
warding his commission, and refusal
on the part of the authorities to as
sist in any way toward providing’
quarters for the postoffice, E. L. Mey
er has resigned his appointment as
postmaster.
The C. P. R. steamer Otter is to
be placed on the Seattle-Hyder run.
The Otter has accomodations for 50
passengers and carries 265 tons of
freight.
Work has commenced on the new
Canadian government wharf between
Hyder and Stewart, the tug Clay
burn having arrived early in the
week with a piledriver and a scow
load of creosoted piling.
Joseph H. Green has been appoint
ed United States deputy marshal to
suceed Senator John Ronan, first
marshal for the Hyder district, who
resigned after having served six
months. Marshall Green is an old
time Alaskan and his appointment is
a popular one here.
Macfarlane and Mahood have bond
ed the Monitor group in the Salmon
basin to Vancouver parties who, it is
understood, will start development
work shortly. The Monitor is a well
known property, having been staked
early in the history of the camp. Con-,
siderable excitement was caused in
1910 by the discovery of free gold
on one of the claims. The owners are
Dan Lindeborg, Chas. Larson and WTm.!
Hamilton.
The mineral belt* of the Salmon
river which some outside knockers
would have people believe is oil on
the Canadian side of the line, was
traced this week practically into the
town of Hyder by the discovery of the
good ore across, the river from the
townsite. The discovery was made
by W. M. McElhenne/ and D. J. Mc
Phee, who staked four claims and
intend doing some development work.
The ore shows native silver and silver
sulphides. They call the property
the Mountain Top group.

WOULD ADMIT CHINA AS MEMBER
ANGLO JAPANESE ALLIANCE WITH *
TRIPLE ALLIANCE IN FAR EAST
PEKIN, July 13 (by Associated
Press).—China should be admitted
as a member of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, thus making it a triple al
liance for the Far East, according to
the conclusions reached by the Peking
and Tien-Tsin Times in a lengthy
series of articles dealing with the ap
proaching renewal of the Anglo
Japanese pact. The paper says:
“The treaty should be modified in
sofar as necessary to make China a
party. It is a serious departure from
the usual practice in international re
lations for two powers to enter into
on greement respecting the interests
of a third power without the latter’s
assent and one which in our view
ought not, in this instance, be perpet
uated. The inclusion of China in
what would then become a triple al
liance for the preservation of peace
in the Far East and the maintenance
of her integrity and independence and
of the principle of equal opportunities
for the commerce and industry of all
nations^ would constitute the most ef
fective guarantee that nothing affect
ing her welfare would be done by
either of the other parties without
full and frank consultation with her.”
Besides the admission of China to
the pact the Times proposes a series
of conditions in the renewal of the
alliance, by which China shall be
safeguarded. One of these would
bring about the restoration of China’s
sovereignty over the Iiao Tung penin
sula, including Port Arthur, and the
reversion of the South Manchuria
railroad to Chinese control, at the ex
piration of a definite period. Other
conditions proposed are summarized
as follows:
“The independence of China today
is violated by the presence upon her
soil of foreign garrisons other than
the troops provided for under the 1901
protocol and the limited number of
railway guards permitted for the
guarding of the South Manchuria and
Chinese Eastern railways. Great
Britain should .insist, therefore as
condition precedent to the renewal
of the alliance upon the withdrawal
' of all Japanese troops on Chinese
soil whose presence is not provided
for in treaties or agreements in oper
ation on July 13, 1911.
“Although Tsingtao was forcibly
occupied by Germany in 1898, her ad
ministration of the port and leased
territory aroused on serious opposi
tion until 1914, when Tsingtao be
came a base for warlike operations
against allied shipping. The Ger
man methods of administration were
liberal compared with those of the m
Japanese,, who are aiming to make it
a closed port. The restoration to
China of Tsingtau, under conditions
which guarantee equality of treat
ment to all the powers should there
fore be insisted upon by Great Bri
tain. , .. •_
“The Shantung railway, which is at
present being used to exploit Japan
ese interests and as a pretext for the
presence of Japanese garrisons in
Shantung, should become a Chinese
government state railway, ^operated
by a Chino-Japanese administration,
on terms similar to the state rail
ways operated under British super
vision. . • -
“The practice of treating the nation
ality of the members of the customs
service employed in the higher VJ
branches of the service at Tsingtao
and Dairen as a test of fitness, which
in effect places the heads of the cus
toms in these ports under the puris
diction of amlnterested power, should
be discontinued.
“Britain and Japan should mutually
agree to withdraw their postoffices
from China as soon as France, Italy
and the United States are prepared
to do likewise.”
