SO A fascinating picture of old and new Japan was given by Hon. Iyemasa Tokugawa, Japanese Minister to Canada, in an address recently delivered In this city. The two countries are destined always to promote arid maintain good understanding, he declared. "Although by mere co-Incidences," Mr. Tokugawa said. "Canada emerged from her former system of government and established the present form of government in 1897, it was the same year that Japan decided to abolish the political arrangement which then exmea and to start a new era.i Thursday, Feb. 20, IBM all affairs of state to be decided by Imperial deliberation.

(4) All absurd usages shall be abandoned and Justice and righteousness shall regulate all our actions. 5 Knowledge and learning shall be sought all over the world and the foundation of the empire be firmly established." Then Mr. Tokugawa enumerated various reforms which were carried out in quick succession, and explained the circumstances in which the constitution of Japan was proclaimed by the Emperor, and the treaties with foreign pow ers were revised so as to abolisn extraterritoriality and to recover tariff autonomy.

However, in the 8th century the Japanese civilisation gradually be an to assume an Independent na- mal character. A great evolution in this direction Is noticeable, for instance, in architecture, in cos-, tume and in the mode of writing of this period. Temples and shrines ' and various works of art and literature, representative of this and subsequent periods still remain, and from them it can be seen that the Japanese civilization had cl- ! ready reached quite an advunacf stage. Christianity Spreads I "At first, Japan's intercourse with foreign countries did not go beyond Corea and China, though there were some exceptional instances of interchange of visits between Japan and Europe. It was in the beginning of ths 16th cen-' tury that the Portuguese. Spanish. Dutch and British traders began to freauent our shores. They wero followed by Jesuite Fathers, and Christianity began to spread i steadily in Japan. Toward the end' of that century, however, the activities of Spanish missionaries aroused suspicion of political mo-' tives. In the beginning of the 17th century, the spreading of Christianity was prohibited, and in the end trade with European countries' was forbidden with the exception of the Dutch, who were allowed to I 1 live in Nagasaki.

This pro duced various famous Japanese scholars of different branches of science and the Dutch language, and these scholars were really the forerunners of the progressive reformers who made the establishment of young Japan possible in later years. "You will see from what T told you, though very briefly, that the way being paved, gradually but not steadily, long before the west em civilization on a broad basis. Before the curtain rose in 1837, the stage had already been prepar ed and a suitable background set up for the great drama of the making of -young Japan. "Some of you may have ex pec ted to hear from me more about old Japan. It is true that old Japan presents a series of narratives of absorbing interest, if they are properly told; but you will under stand that I have had to be very brief on all points. The main point I wanted to make clear today was that after all that old Japan was not in the least an obscure and backward existence, while the young Japan is no mere upstart suddenly rising from insignificance. Japan has the tradition and the pride of an old nation and has vigor and the energy of a young. Here lies again a resem blance between Canada and JapanCanada, a young nation with vl3or and energy, having behind ner the time honored traditions of the old races. So let me remind you once more of the happy future In store for both of us a friendly co-operation between two countries for the greater good of humanity." W. M. Dodd & Co..

The concern had OIL BURNER IS PROPOSED Month In Regard to Longwill Tender Having seen by the newspapers that the institution had been having a problem in securing sufficient heat by means of the present system, Walter Longwill presented a tender of $1295 to the hospital board last night for the installation of a complete oil heating system in the Prince Rupert General Hospital. Mr. Longwill expressed ft he opinion that an oil system would give much more satisfaction as it would cost less to operate, would be more efficient and would give a hlaher and more even tern- coal. He gaye details of His tender and told of having already install led 21 oil heating systems in thei city, all of which were proving very satisfactory. Aid. Brown admitted that there was no argument as to an oil ays tern being more efficient and cheaper. A former board, consider' ing the matter, had found, however, that the installation of an oil heating system would cause a noise which might disturb the rest of patients in one of the public wards which was situated directly over the boiler room. There would also be the problem of disposing of garbage In the event of an oil heating system being installed. Aid. Dibb thought, if it would be five or ten years before a new hos pital was built, it might be wise to instal an oil system through the saving that would be effected. He felt that the difficulty as to noise might be overcome. Managing Secretary Birch stated that, after experience with an oil system, the Royal Columbian Hospital at New Westminster was considering going back to coal. After further discussion, the matter was referred to the house committee for report. Mr. and Mrs. H. Adams arrived in the city on the Prince John this morning from Massett.
