SILVER CLP OFFERED FOR
BEST FLOWER GARDEN
Early last spring iMrs. Thomas
Riggs, of Nenana, made an offer of a
handsome silver cup to the producer
of the best flower garden in Nenana
this summer. At first it was planned
to award the prize the first week in
August, but on account of the ex
tremely rainy weather, it was decid
ed to postpone the award to the latter
part of the month. Recently a tele
gram was sent to Mrs. Riggs that a
frost might be expected any day now,
and she came in from Mile 35 out on
the line to inspect the gardens and
make the award.

FRENI) or DEMOCRACY
IN LAND OF JAPANESE|
OSAKA, Japan, Aug. 1", (Corres
respondence of The Associated Press)
—The trend of democracy in Japan
is discussed in a leading article by
the Osaga Mainichi, which questions
the policy of the Terauchi Cabinet be-j

“For our part.” the paper says, “we
believe in a possibility of the harmo

throne has made it clear to the people'
that democratic principles should he

these circumstances there is no need
for the surprise which seems to be
evinced by Count Terauchi and other
bureaucrats at the news of the Rus
sian revolution.
“(ireat Britain, Japan's ally, the
t inted States, Russia, as well as Chi-1
na, are all countries of democratic |
sympathies, and so there is no justi-i
liable cause for fear if democratic J
ideas have caught hold ot the Japan

itable stronghold of militarists and j
bureaucrats—democracy appears to be
making steady progress.”
The newspaper concludes: ‘‘Not
withstanding the general tendency ini
the world in favor of democracy, the'
Terauchi Cabinet, which is eager for
the preservation of clan and bureau

checking the growth of democratic j
ideas, contrary to the general current
of thought throughout the world. Even
