POSToFFIcE TO BE CLOSED.

The Lehi nostoffice is to be closed March 31st. so a recent order from the postoffice department directs. This postoffice is now about twenty-eight years old and has served the people long and faithfully, but like good friends, it must pass away and give place to newer and more up to date methods. For the past four months the office has been an office in little more than name. As the rural deliv- cry route has superseded the old meth cd but few continued to get their mail through the office. John Connol- ly has been the carrier and Mrs. H. G. Davis the postmistress. They will both be relieved of their commissions but will in all probability demand pensions from the government for the balance of their days to recompenise them for the loss of their commissions.
 This action will make it necessary for few families to purchase mail boxes or come to Mesa for their post.

A BIGGER COMMITTEE
To Arouse Interest in the Tonto Road
 Bond Election.

There was 2 meeting at the Board of Trade rooms yesterday of the commit tee appointed at the massmeeting last Tuesday night to take charge of the campaign in behalf of the Tonto road bonds. AS has already been mentioned this campaign involves a campaign of education on the subject of the advan- tage to the people of the valley of the Tonto road. The committee believed that the work was too much for com mittee of seven, the number originally appointed. Sometimes committees are SO large as to be unwieldy, but in a case of this kind the larger the better so that it was decided at the meeting yesterday to increase the committee to 100 and work on the plan of the com mittee in the late water works bonds contest.
 The new members will be selected to- day and they will be- notified to meet at the Board of Trade rooms next Mon day night. Arrangements have been made for an out of doors mass meet ing to be held in the city one night next week. The precise date of the meeting may be announced within a day or two.
 The members of the committee re- port that the campaign of education is proceeding very satisfactorily. There have been several conversions and the work of the committee has greatly in creased the number of registrations for the bond election. The members of the committee believe that the chief work consists in procuring registra- tions and getting out the registered vote. The field for conversion is not very wide, for the opposition is not numerous. If the people only qualify to vote and then actually vote there will be little need of campaigning.

Incidentally Something of the Past
 History of Japan.

The war cloud in the far east has brought into prominence the names of quite a number of Japanese statesmen, in particular those of the members of the mikado's cabinet council, or genro Count Inouye, Marquis Ito, Count Mat sugata and Marquis Yamagata. These men hold their offices for life, and are
 called together to consult with the mix
 ado at critical times, although their decisions have no weight over the Jap tanese constitution, which is supreme in all such matters. With the exception of Marquis Ito, very little is known in
 this country of the history of these statesmen, but, thanks to the courtesy of members of the Japanese embassy, the Post is able to give some interest ing data.
 The history of these men is bound up with the past history of Japan, and of
 how it came to reach it's present ad-
 vanced position in the family of na-
 tions. Far back in the remote past Japan was ruled by an emperor, the mikado, and his court. The capital of
 the mikado was at Kioto,a quiet, tran quil and dignified place. The mikado
 delegated the military affairs of the island to a generalissimo, or shogun, who was the head of the army. He was at first a person of minor consequence, but as time went on these shoguns
 became more powerful than the mikado himself. Under them grew up sort of
 feudal aristocracy that, however, had
 nothing to boast of in point of blood
 or ancestry, their entire prestige lying
 in the fact that they could bring so
 many fighting men into the field.
 They perpetually warred with each
 other, and whenever a new shogun was
 to be appointed they made strenuous
 efforts to get posse ssion of the person
 of the mikado and intimidate him into conferring the honor upon their fav- orite. After a time the shoguns became so powerful and important that they set up capital and court of their own in Yedo. Shogun IyeyoSu, the founder of the Tokugwa dynasty, and who was lappointed in 1903, was a powerful man, and restored peace in the disturbed is-

FAMILY TROUBLES.
The Cause of the Disturbance Got
 Thirty Days in Which. to Repent.

The Lopez household was the scene of a grand row several nights ago and it is claimed by other members of the family that the senior Lopez is the cause of it. It is at least certain that he did his share if not a little more. At any rate he used language that would not become a gentleman and besides abusing his wife, struck one of the little girls. His trial came up be- fore Justice Nelson yesterday morn ing and he was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail.
 Lopez felt deeply grieved at the size of his sentence, in fact, he was of the opinion that he should have been dis charged. He reasoned that since the trouble came up in his own family 1t was his privilege to do as he saw fit and if it became necessary to chastise a member no one was better able to do it than himself.
 When he saw, however, that pleading would do no good he accepted the in- evitable with as good grace as pos sible.

till 9 a. m. tomorrow, after which a business session of the Woman's Mis- sionary Society was held. It wa pre- ided over by Mrs. J. A. Elliott, one of the most conscientious women in Ari- zona. The first business was the re- port of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Winfield Scott. This report shows a good work by the Baptist women of Arizona. In religion, as in every oth- CT great undertaking by man, how could they succeed without the women l? God bless them.
 The following officers will serve the society during the ensuing year: Mrs. J. A. Elliott president; Mrs. A. B. Buckley, vice president; Mrs. J. c. Chapin, corresponding secretary. At this time a recess was taken for dinner.
 At ? D. m. Rev. c. Wantlaw presented to the society a petition to the United States senate asking that body to pass the Hepburn Deliver bill. The peti- tion was unanimously endorsed and signed by the officers and members.
 most interesting paper on the out look for successful work in foreign fields was read by Mrs. Buckley. This was followed by a plain spoken, strong paper by Mrs. Elliott in which many very excellent things were said. The tobacco and whiskey habits were spok- en against. Also the trains of ladies' dresses received a severe characteriza- ton as unnecessary, unhealthful and consequently evil.
