N MoNG the important events SEIZED
81 uled for the opening weeks Of the
y year 1908, none are fraught with
greater significance than the arrival at
washington of two Of the foremost ori-
entail statesmen. These dignitarles from
beyond the Pacific come, not as so many
Of their eountrymen have recently done,
for a neeting glimpse of the republic and
it's institutions, but as tue ENJOYS or ac-
credited representative of Japan and
China at Uncle Sans headquarters. They
will settle down under the Stars and
Stripes for a residence of probably sew
eral years duration. and, doubtless, ere
long they will be as well known. by
name, to readers of the newspapers as
are any of our own statesmen.
As our readers are doubtless aware
each of the principal nations of the world
maintains q sort Of branch Office at Wash
ington, each such allen establishment be-
ing In charge Of an envoy who acts for
his government or his sovereign In deal
ings with the United States. Now, In
view Of the somewhat strained relations
that have for sometime past existed be-
tween this country and Japan. it can be
appreciated that much depends on the
personality and methods of the Mkado's
proxy at the American capital. Small
wonder, then, that when the officials at
Tckio recently decided to make n change
OF diplomats the liyeliest interest IN the
newcomer was aroused.
IN the case Of China International re.
lalious are not, of course. in so acute
state, but cause for well-nigh equal con-
Germ is found in the great desire Of
American business interests TO capture
goodly share of the rich trade of the
Far East. Thus we see that the arrival
OF these newly appointed ENJOYS from
the Orient possesses significance from a
trade as well as a political standpoint
and when 1t is added that both newcom-
ers are old friends of the American
people, who return to our shores after
protracted absence, 1t can be surmised
that this reunion In of1cialdom has So
cial significance also. Baron Kogoro
Takahira, newly selected to. represent
Japan In the United States, served for
years in a similar capacity sometime
since, and Wu Ting-fang, lately selected
as Chinese minister at Washington. is
democratic Individual, who during a pre-
vious period of service became known
throughout the length and breadth Of the
land as the most picturesque and most
amusing Celestial statesman who ever
visited the republic.
The newly accredited japanese Ambas-
sador has already enjoyed three periods
OF residence in the United States. He first
visited our shores in 1881 as a secretary

RIVER RUNS UP STREAM.
Logs and oriftwood viii Float Down
Turn, and Start the Other Way.


Muskogee, Okla.-One Of the freah
curiosities OF Mcintosh county is q
liver that runs up stream People who
I'VE near Eufaula, along the banks OF
the North Canadian. often have seen
logs and driftwood running rapidly
down stream until they reached 9
point where they waver and stop, and
then turn round and run back up the
stream as rapidly as they had gone
down.
few days ago farmer who had
not lived long on the Canadian crossed
he bridge and. sccosting a Eufaula
man, said:
Which way does that North Cana
dian river rum"
East or nearly east" replied the
merchant.
II thought so. Does there seem to
be anything the matter with me7"
The Eufaula man assured him that
he seemed TO be all right and OF sound
mind
We'll, there is something wrong
somewhere, Where came from there
were lots OF rivers, but every one OF
them runs down stream. When !
crossed that bridge a while ago logs
and drifts were going west faster than
they ever went the other way before
| think I'll see n doctor anyway"
The explanation is simple. The con
nuence OF the North and South Cana
dians is about Ave miles east of Ecu
faula. There is little fall in either
stream When there Is big rise II
the South Canadian the water rushet
back up the north fork for miles, anc
has every appearance OF stream that
Ia running the wrong way.
