TAKAH|RA
May NOT
RETURN

Washington. Nov. 25.-It is quite prob
able that Kogoro Takahira, the Japan
est minister. and one of Japan's two
peace ENJOYS at the Portsmouth confer
ence. viii soon retire from the diplomatic
mission to the United States. While here
tofore the minister had indicated that he
would return to this country after n
prospective visit to Japan. a very broad
hint was given by the japanese legation
yesterday that he would not do so.
This hint was contained in a type
written announcement from the legation
that Mr.. Takahira was expected ito leav.
for Japan early In December and TO be
absent from Washington for the coming
season; would give a small stag party
on Dec. : to say good-by TO his friends, "
The announcement was concluded with
these significant words: 1T Is possible
that he may return here next spring. but
1t is not at all certain that he will do So"
In the careful language OF diplomacy
this apparently means that Mr.. Takahira
has received an intimation that his gov
eminent thinks II may be necessary 10
assign him TO another sphere OF useful
ness than Washington.
1t was generally expected that the
Washington mission Of Japan would be
raised TO the rank OF an embassy and
that Mr.. Takahira would be his emperor's
first ambassador here.
Perhaps the most significant thing about
the intimation that Mr.. Takahira will
not return TO Washington is the quiet
suggestion made hat things political i'm
Toxic may change. and, consequently,
Mr.. Takahira, as well ms Baron Komura.
Marquis Ito. the elder statesmen and all
OF those making up the present controlling
party, will be without influence or sup
port. That the Liberals and Progresslves,
the two leading anti-government parties
in japan, are perhaps strong enough 20
wrest control from those now handling the
reins OF government, has been frequently
suggested.
II the present administration remains
in control, Takahira IS almost sure TO get
something better I'm a diplomatic way.
What this will be cannot b. accurately
forecasted, for there are a multitude OF
high offices which a diplomat as distin-
guished I'm his own "ountry as he might
readily be given.
II is possible that ne will be kept m
Toxic i'm connection with the foreign Of
flee. or he may be made an Ambassador
TO some other country. perhaps to Rus
STA. for il is understood that ultimately
Japan will have an embassy In st. Peters
burg. Al present the orIcials Of tho lega
ton here seem as much I'm the dark as
anyone. An they will actually say Is that
there IS "a strong possibility THAT tho
minister will not come back. The where
fore or the why Is not given.

Cal, Sept of this year, created a great
deal OF interest among sporting men and
has well been characterized as the most
stupendous contest OF nNlern times.
Seeing the pictures is almost as good
as seeing the contest itself. IL Is prac-

They are n wonderful reproduction Of
every incident. livery blow struck and
every move made In the contest is repro
duced with exact accuracy.
The pictures are life size and are shown

babbling brook on a clear day I'm mid
summer.

St. James Christmas Tree.

The annual Christmas tree and
festivities We're duly celebrated
Thursday night at Odd Fellows hall.
The large room was filled from end
to end and though "a goodly portion
of the scholars were absent from sick
ness, etc, there was an impressive
array of them, arguing well for the
stability of one mountain town.
The tree itself was shapcly and
beautiful and was laden with things
for the rising generation. An excel
lent program, arranged by Mrs
Adams, was we'll rendered, several
musical friends among them Mrs
Hubbard kindly assisting.
The process of denuding the tree of
its immense variety of fruit fell to
the lot of Messrs. f. n. JoHantgen
and Fl. A. Dennison. Every scholar
had been provided for. The ladies
who undertook the work and labor OF
love in collecting the ''sinews of war"
and arranging for the function must
have been well rewarded for their
tolls and pains by the large amount
of happiness which they gave.

Piceance Pointers.

A. J. Ryan spent the holidays with
his wife and daughter in Meeker.
Christmas has come and gone and
every one seemed to enjoy them
selves.
Mr. and Mrs. r.. A. Collins spent
their Christmas with their father and
mother in Basalt.
Mr.. Monahan is getting ont n set of
nice house logs for Jens Mikkelson
who contemplates building soon.
Mrs. Fremont Dixon came up from
Rifle the other day to look after the
ranch which has been vacated since
Mr.. Dixon got hurt.
w. II. and Mrs. Violet were guests
of the Parkes for Nmas dinner, after
which all enjoyed chase with the
dogs for bob cats, lions, etc. 1t was
too cold for the dogs to do very good
work and consequently the catch was
small.
This community was very much
shocked to learn of the tragic death
of w. j. Wilson the cattleman. Mr..
Wilson was one of the pioneers of
this section, having driven bunch
of cattle into this county in 1854 and
has had stock in these parts continu-
Ously ever since.
Mr.. Mcnahan went to Meeker this
week to try and collect some of the
money due him for wolf bounty. For
the past three years Mr.. Monahan
has been trapping and has captured
about 30 wolves and 40 coyotes. The
stoclimen certainly stand in their
own light when they refuse to pay
the bounty justly due him.
The infant daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Perry Boies died in Rifle last
Sunday. Mrs. Boies had gone to Ri
ile to be doctored for blood poisoning
and it is thought the little one nursed
the poison from its mother. The be-
reaved parents have the sympathy of
the entire CON munity in their hour
of sorrow.
The entertainment given by Mrs.
Clark and the school children last
Friday evening was II decided sue

parts well which showed that their
teacher must have taken no small
pains with them. A dance given
after the entertainment also proved

Thornburg Thoughts.

Miss Sadie Berry is home for the
holidays.
Thornburg is not so far out of the
world but that Santa Claus found his
way there and every one had fat
stocking Christmas morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moreland have re-
turned from visit with Mr. More
lands sister at Palisade. They re-
port a pleasant time and are very
much taken up with that part of the
country. No snow, weather warm
and roads dusty.
Do we hear anyone say the weather
is cold? Thornburg has had six
weeks seige without Il let-up. Some
report mercury frozen. However,
the fact remains that the good people
have quit looking at their thermoin-
etors. 1t couldn't possibly be any
colder. Cattlemen commenced feed
ing three weeks earlier than is their
custom. If this kind of weather con
tinues six months longer there will
surely be scarcity of hay allaround.
Such weather as this makes the cattle
owners see the necessity of more shell
ter for their stock.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. J. Aldrich enter
talned their friends Christmas even
ing in their usual happy and delight
full manner. The dinner table wis
beautifully decorated with Christmas
greens and groaned under its weight
of good things with the national
bird" as center piece. After every
one had eaten to IL state of uncom-
Portable fullness, all adjourned to the
parlor where II beautiful Christmas
tree blinked and winked with its
dozens of cOlOred candle lights. Miss
Louise and Mr.. Clarence Aldrich dis
tributed the gifts which were costly
and numerous and no one went away
empty handed. The remainder of
the evening was spent with music,
recitations and dancing. The Aldrich
family are an orchestra in them
selves. Among those present We're
Mr. and Mrs. j. +. Wilson, Miss
Ilene, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. ID. Ferguson,
Miss Sadie Berry, Mr.. Burg, Misses
Alice and Louise Aldrich, Mr.. Clar-
ence Aldrich, Mrs. Sarah Utter and
the host and hostess, Mr.. aad Mrs. O.

Christmas at St. James Church.

The church was tastefally and etfec
lively decorated under the superin
tendence of Mrs. JoHantgen. On
Christmas Day four services were
held The two celebrations We're well
attended, the communicates number
ing the same ut each. The l0:30 ser
vice had much larger attendance
than the regular Sunday morning
congregation. The musical part of
the service-carols, anthems, ETC.,
We're heartily rendered. The rector
preached from st. Matthew I:2l-
Thou shalt call his name Jesus for
He shall save his people from their
sins" He prefaced his discourse by
saying 81 am going to address some
of the citizens OF 1928, and l respect
fully ask those of 1905 to exercise
their patience The preacher gained
the attention of old and young with
the Christmas stories, allegories, ETC.,
which he poured on them. There
was also an evening service at Z 80
