American ambassador. Thomas J. O'Brien,

America" Ambassador ONBrien, In re-
spending, said that the cordiaiity shown
to the ambassador from America, together
with the ohairman's expression OF the
fraternal relations existing between Japan
and America, would do much to satisfy
that peculiar element on both sides Of the
ocean which for some reason would prefer
dis6Ord and disagreement between the two
nations"
Count okuma followed with speech in
which he voiced In the friendliest terms
expressions Of gratitude for the benefits
received from America and his conviction
that the hitherto unbrolSsn friendship of
the two countries would continue.
Prince Ito wired his regrets that he could

MITCHELL CONVENTION CITY
Coming Winter wnl he Fully Occu-
Died Entertaining Various
state Associations.

MITCHELL s. D., Dec. u.-(special)- y
During the winter season Mitchell will be
busy i'm entertaining the various conven-
uons which will assemble before the OPEN
ing OF spring. The first convention sched-
uled for the winter months is the South
Dakota Corn Show and Breeders associa-
tion, which will be held commencing Tues
day Of next week. lasting three days. This
is held under the direction Of expert corn
growers and the one that was held a year
ago was so successful that the officers
decided to make It a permanent affair, and
this year have offered larger cash prem
iums to bring out the exhibits. Following
this comes the South Dakota Telephone
association which is scheduled for a two
days meeting, commencing January 8.
The telephone industry has developed in
oil parts of the state to a wonderful de-
gree in the last hve years, and from
every little village rural telephone lines
have been run and are today on a paying
basis. The manufacturers OF telephone sup
piles will be largely represented at the
convention and half of the city HAN audi
torium will be used to make a display OF
their goods. Following the telephone men
come the Improved Live Stock Breeders
association for the latter part Of January
and continuing over one day in February.
When the stockmen assemble in Mitchell
for the next meeting they will be greeted
by an enlarged building, which was built
last summer, and about $4,000 was ex-
pended In making the sale pavilion larger.
Ever since the building was first erected
the sale pavilion did not anywhere near
accommodate the number OF buyers who
were present but It is figured at this time
that there will be nearly room enough. It
is expected that next year the room for
the cattle, hogs and sheep viii have to
be enlarged. should the high standard now
required for stock be lowered a trihe.
During the same week OF the stock show
the South Dakota poultry show win be
held in the city hall building, the success
of which as the years have gone by has
been something remarkable. w. s. Snyder
of Ethan was elected president OF the
association, to I'LL the place made vacant
by the resignation of ]. E. Redding.
