PRACTICAL WORK
Now Being Entered Upon by

Progress Made in Investigation Plain
Iy Shown at Fridays Session.
Great eritain's csss in Ambassador Bayard's
Hands for Transmission.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The practical
progress of the Venezuelan high COM
mission toward determining the due
divisional boundary line, was demon
strated at today's meeting, when all the
members met after two weeks additional
independent study, and occupied the best
part Of the day in controversial discus
sion of the merits of the dispute.
Heretofore the commissioners are said
to have had an indispositon to do more
than accumulate evidence, but today's
proceedings disclosed distinctly ad-
vanced position on their part and dis
position to commence weighing the COM
parativc value of the various features of
the complication.
The first impressions of the commits
sion, that this boundary dispute would
eventually be found susceptible of an
ordinary common sense settlement on I'M
impeachahle historical data, has been par
iiilly confirmed, but none of the members
can yet say to which country their de-
cision will probably he the most favorable.
a communication from Justin winsor,
librarian of Harvard university, who is the
principal expert carte logist Of the com
mission, announced that he has com
pleted his examination of between a5o
and 800 maps of the Guiana territory, and
his report upon them might shortly be ex-
pected.
The commissioners formally approved
the action of Secretary Malet Provost in
declining, for the present, the offer of the
British Royal Geographical Society to
submit its collection of maps.

stroyed.

A disastrous fire occurred early yes

resulted in the almost total destruc-
ton of the house, a new two-snd-a-
half story brick, while the contents,
including furniture. wearing apparel,
etc, were a total loss.
Between , and 9 o'clock Miss Emily
Katz was awakened by the smell of
smoke and on opening the door of her
bedroom. cloud of smoke rolled in
from the hall The other members of
the family were at once aroused and
found that escape by the stairway
leading TO the ground floor was cut
off by flames. They then made their
way TO small porch in the rear of
the house. and Alma Katz shouted
for help. This brought a neighbor to
their assistance. and they made their
escape by means of a ladder.
E. w. Taylor and Mr. Center, neigh
bors. took the ladies to their homes
and made them as comfortable as pos
sible.
Meanwhile an alarm had been turned
in and the firemen were soon on the
scene. although there was some delay

had gained such Roadway that they
were unable to accomplish much, the
building being completely Quilted.

The origin of the fire is matter of
conjecture.

part of the desired information is lack

non has written the following letter,
which will be sent to all pioneers whose

please inform us of the exact date Of
your arrival in Salt Lake valley and
with what company you came, and any
other information you feel willing to
give. When this celebration is over we

Please send US all the names and adj

and with what company they came
Secretary ROgnon is still receiving
daily numbers of letters suggesting a
title for the celebration. They are all
filed in the order of their receipt and
the exact time recorded, together with
the name of the writer. Then a reply
is returned TO the sender stating the
time the letter was received. This
rather elaborate practice has been
adopted for the reason that more than
one person frequently sends in the

prize if it be awarded to the originator
of the name.
Suggestions will be received until
January 1. When they are all in a list
of the proposed titles will be made with
out the names of the persons making
the suggestion being attached, to guard
against any possible Dartiality The
judges will go over the list and decide
from Il who is the winner.
