He replied to Col Hofer's speech

The fight against a four-mill coun-

Frier, of Aumsville, who favors three
mills, with two mills going back to
the district.
County Judge Bushey and County

discussion.
There was larger attendance

JEFF Hunt spoke for a fund of
100000 or $4,000 to be put in the
treasury and spent to help those
counties that help themselves with

Chas. Cannon spoke for a general
levy to go to every district, and not
just to.those that made special levies.
He lived in a no-special-levy district.
Mr.. Frier made a strong speech

He asked that each precinct get all

getting the county out of debt.

whether the aerial contests planned

II is probable that the Junction

SHlBUSAWA IS GIVEN
A WARM RECEPTION
He Is Much Pleased with tine Cor
dial Treatment Commercial Com
mittee Received at Hands of the
Americans, But ExhOrts His PeO-
plS to sleep With One Eye Open.

Toxic, Japan, Dec. 17.--"Ameri-
cans are the friendliest people of the
world toward Japan, and at the same
time they are Japan's dealiest ene-
mes. / exhort the Japanese to be
the same"
Baron Shibusawa, head of the COM
mercial committee, which recently
returned from America, made this
statement at a great banquet follow
ing the double welcome to the COM
missioners at Yokohama and Toxic
today. The baron was the central
figure of the reception, and his
speech at the banquet was half hui
morous and half serious, He said
that the delegation had endeavored
to soften the anti-Japanese feeling la
the western section of the United
states; had tired to give a better
knowledge of Japan and the JapaL-
ese in the Middle West, and had
sought especially to enhance the COM
mercial relations with the business
men Of the Atlantic coast section.
Speaking of his impressions OF
America, the baron declared that the
cordiality of the reception had been
more tina nwas expected, and that
everywhere the visitors had been
treated to the best OF everything, and
given the most courteous attention
and consideration.
THE Americans are very fond of
making speeches" he declared, and
told of the many banquets and va
rious occasions on which the hostg ex-
pressed their good will and extended
the most cordial words Of welcome.
I'VE found the very best OF feel
ing everywhere in America, excepr
on the part of the laboring class Of
the Pacific slope"
1t was at this point that Shibu--
sawa made the paradoxical state
ment that America is Japan's great
est friend, and at the same time her
deadliest enemy. The statement was
made wit a smile.
1t was looked on by many persons.
however, as the keynote of his ad-
dress.
A great crowd was present when
the big liner Chiyo Maru arrived az
Yokohama early today, and the re-
turning commissioners We're given
hearty welcome. After a formal re-
ception In Yokohama. they proceeded
TO Toxic and entered this city today
NJ noon, amid big demonstration.
Thousands OF persons gathered at the
station. The cars, represent
ing such vast commercial interests
IN the empire. are closely connected
with vast army OF citizens, and the
return was made the occasion OF cell
8brations.
An affecting feature OF the recep-
ion was the meeting OF Baron shi-
)usawa and General Murata, former
attache of the reaidency-
general at Seoul Shibusawa could
Tot control his grief over the assas-
Iination of Prince Ito, which was re-
'alled forcibly by Murata. The two
