Toxic, June l. The proverb that
Admiral Togo always fights and sell
dom reports is proving true in the
case of his greatest battle. From the
brc1est and most fragmentary reports
coming to Toxic it is impossible to
gain an approximate conception or
picture of the desperate and decisive
combat
Admiral Togo appears to have pre-
pared and laid a trap which fitted
Admiral Rojestvensky's action and
that the Japanese outmaneuvered, ou,-
fought and outshot the Russians, fear

against the heavy Russian armor-clad
battleships and joining battleships
with armored cruisers. smothering
them with gun fire.
Submarines Used.
Tremendous interest attaches to the
use of submarine vessels. The navy
department is silent on this point,
but it is confidently believed that sub
marines We're effectively used for the
drst time in history.
Hundreds of Russian refugees who
landed on the Tsu islands and neigh
boring provinces are coming to Sasebo
and Maipsu. Many of them are wound
ed and otherwise suffering from the
terrible ordeal of the long battle. 1t
is believed that the fighting ended
Monday. A search of the sea is in
progress. The fate of Admiral Rojest-
vensky is still in doubt. The failure of
tiding, strengthens the belief that he
has either reached Vladivostok or fed

Rev Eugene Smith to Retire from Pastorate of ME Churet

Rev. Eugene II. Smith, pastor of
the First Methodist church of this
city, viii retire from the pastorate
of the church Sunday, and. with the
convening OF the annual conference
next week, will retire from the minis
try.
Sunday morning Rev. Smith will
deliver his farewell sermon, and his
theme will be BE Thou Faithful. 10
For many weeks it has been known
to the officials of the church and to
many of the members that the popu-
lar pastor would, through necessity
ON account of physical intirmity that
has refused to yield to the best medi-
cal treatment possible, be forced to
retire from the ministry. The knowl-
edge that such move was or is
necessary has caused the deepest re
gret in the hearts of the members
of the Methodist congregation and
the hundreds of friends outside Of
the church, who hold Rev. Smith in
the highest possible regard.
For period of more than one year
Rev. Smith has suffered from throat
trouble which has greatly Affected
his once very strong and smooth de
livery. OF course it. gave him much
trouble, and early in the spring OF
this year the physicians and throat
specialists advised him to take long
and complete rest from his duties as
pastor, informing him that unless he
did this he might permanently lose
his voice.

Denver this week was the PURCHASING
of nearly 100000 worth of new ma
chinery to be added to the big plant

power for the electric light system of
Grand Junction.
Mr.. Newton conferred with repre-
sentatives of big machinery manu-

returning home placed an order for
the following:
One 200-horsepower Corliss en-

Corliss works at Cincinnati.
One $50 kilowatt generator with a
capacity of $500 lights.
One 500-horsepower Cochran wat

These Will cost something over
$4,000, and a large amount of

Rev Smith came to Grand juno
tion to take charge of the local
church two years ago, coming to this
city from Canon City. He grew in
popularity from the first week of his
residence in this city, and he has
proven one of the most able and pop
ular pastors the church has ever had.
No minister that has ever resided in
Grand Junction has been held in hign-
er esteem by the citizenship in gem
eral. The two years that he has
served as pastor of the local church
have been the most prosperous in the
church's history, and there is not
a member of the large congregation
that will not regret to see him give
mp the pastorate.
Rev. Smith is a minister of the
noblest qualifications, a speaker of
the highest ability and a man OF the
truest worth. He Is recognized as
one OF the leading ministers in the
Colorado conference, and. though
comparatively young man. he has
risen rapidly in the ministry.

ment from the pastorate of the
First Methodist chuch is widespread

Smith sought permanent relief from
the throat trouble. For several weeks
he was under the care of Denver spe-

gave his voice complete rest as far
as pulpit or public speaking was cons
cerned.
There was a decided Improvement

resumed his work. However. the i'm
provement, to the regret of all the
friends of the eloquent and popular
minister, was not permanent. Since
returning to his work he has deliv-
