H. C. L. IN JAPAN.
Protests against the high cost of
living and demands for increased
■wages are as emphatic in Japan as
in other nations, says an Associated
Press correspondent, writing from
Tokio. The newspapers attack the
government, charging it with main
taining a policy of procrastination
in dealing with these economic prob
lems. From all parts of the coun
try, from offices factories and
schools come urgent appeals for ad
vances in wages to meet the mount
ing cost of everything.
Japanese laborers have started a
popular movement to secure a re- j
construction of the cabinet, believ
ing that a ministerial change :s!
necessary to secure economic re
forms. The newspapers deal lengthi-,
ly with a visit that seven laborers
made to Marquis Okuma, the ven- ■
erable former premier. The dele
gates included two coolies, three
printers, a factory hand, and an
ironsmith, all attired in homespun ;
dress. Some members of the dele- j
gation attributed their economic dis-:
tress to the lack of government ac-'
tion and denounced the cabinet for
alleged failure to halt the mounting
costs.
Marquis Okuma also assert? that
the difficulties under which the na- 1
tion is suffering are largely due to
the fact that the cabinet has taken
no effective remedial steps. He says
he fears that unless some important
reforms are undertaken there is dan
ger of a popular uprsing. To this
he adds a vehement denunciation of
the luxuries of the rich.
The house of peers has suggested
that steps should be taken to con
trol the prices of the necessaries of
life.
At an official conference called
by Premier Hara it was decided that
a public market should be establish
ed in each city with a population of
50,000 and that money should be
advanced to the people at a low rate
of interest for the building of
houses, the materia! to be obtained
from crown forests. Another idea
is to remove the customs tariff on
imported food.
The economic situation of the
country is causing grave concern to
indstrial leaders and bankers. The
extraordinary interest in Japan in
the labor congress at Washington is
due to the fear that an eight-hour
day for Japan would so reduce
Japan’s output and so increase the
cost of production that Japan would
find greater difficulty in competing
with other nations in world com
merce.
HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY.
The Hudson’s Bay company has
altered its policies with the rapid
advance of civilization that has cur
tailed the production of furs in its
territory and has become one of the
great merchandising corporations of
Canada. With two centuries and a
half of history behind it, the com
pany just now is closing out to farm
settlers the land that represents the
last vestige of its former empire.
A chain of department stores ex
tending across Western Canada has
1
;
been established. The company now
has stores in Winnipeg. Calgary.
Vancouver, Edmonton, Lethbridge.
Macleod, Kamloops, Kelson, Vernon,
Victoria. Qu'Appelle. and Yorkton.
Those in Calgary and Vancouver
are comparable to the great depart
ment stores of the United States.
The company is now planning to
build in Winnipeg the largest de
partment store in the Dominion.
The company is still one of the
world’s greatest fur traders. It has
142 fur posts and still sends to
England annually millions of dol
lars' worth of raw furs. But with
the wonderful growth of its busi
ness as a general merchant, it no
longer has need of land.
Under its charter granted by King
Charles II in 1670, the Hudson’s
BBay company became virtually sole
owner and ruler of three-fourths of
Korth America. Its territories ex
tended from the Great Lakes to
the Pacific and from the Arctic
ocean far south across the present
American boundary line to the Span
ish settlements in California.
When it surrendered its authority
over this vast region to Canada it
received a; an indemnity $1,500,
000 and retained one-twentieth of
all the land in the fertile belt be
tween Lake Winnipeg, Lake of the
Woods, the waters connecting them
and the Rocky mountains, ar.d be
tween the Korth Saskatchewan river
and the international boundary.
The land amounted to 3,200,000
acres at the end of October and has
been untouched by the plow in the
midst of the richest sections of
Western Canada. Farmers of dis
tricts that hem it in have long cast
covetous eyes upon it. In a few
years, it is expected, it will be dot
ted with the farms of settlers, and
grain fields will wave over the last
remnants of the Hudson’s Bay com
pany’s ancient empire.
Charles Goodrun and wife will be
outgoing passengers on tomorrow's
mail stage from Fairbanks, headed
for Fort Liscum, where Goodrun will
receive his discharge from the sig
nal corps. Later they will go to
Columbus, Ohio.
Deputy Marsha! James Hagan re
turned to Kenana today from an
official trip to Fairbanks.
ELSEWHERE IN ALASKA
Out of 25 pupils admitted to the
University of Washington this year
from Alaska, seven are from Skag
way, a fine showing for the gateway
to the Yukon.
The Wrangell school board pur
poses to erect a new wing to the
|school building there next year. The
sc-hoolhouse is becoming too small
for the growing town.
The natives of Bayview are now
canning their own salmon for winter
use. A home canning outfit is used,
which costs only forty or fifty dol
lars. The finished product is said
to be as good as that put up by the
large canneries.
