Tokio, Aprii 18—At a mass'
meeting in this city last night,
prominent speakers were j
cheered when they said that1
Japan would resort to arms if
California passed the alien land
law now under consideration
in the California state legisla
ture. The local papers and sen
tunent generally apparently are

the situation is very acute. The
government has made none ol
it? plans public since the note
of protest it sent to the United
States several days ago.

BETTER CLEAN UP
THE STREETS A LITTLE
As one walks along Front
street from Thompson’s store
to Heckman’s wharf, the fact is
frequently brought to mind
that the street, the main thor
oughfare of our city, and the
one first seen by anyone land
ing from the boats, is in sad
need of cleaning up. Here we
see a siring a oil drums, or a
pile of old lumber, there empty
barrels or shipping cases. The
other day we watched some
people off one of the boats
climb over and through a pile
of rubbish to see what we had
in our mineral cabinet, and
couldn’t but wonder at their
perseverance.
