The Traders block, including the

Absence of wind also doubtless pre-
vented the fire from sweeping across
West Main street to the Lowndes;
Parsons-souders and watts-Lamberd
department stores and thus causing a
confagration that might have swept
this square and perhaps others.
When the alarm was given from the
Traders block, the city fire depart
ment was engaged in fighting a shanty
fire in the rear Of Rock Bells saloon
on North Fourth street, Glen Elk, and
this, Of course, caused costly delay
in getting the fire fighting apparatus
to the opera house. However, the fire.
men made all possible haste and soon
bad streams Of water playing on the
theater building.
Not long ago FIRE wall was built
between the opera house and the hotel
and it was thought for awhile that the
flames could be confined within the
theater. This part Of the block was
quickly consumed but inadequate fire
lighting equipment proved futile in
keeping the blaze from spreading to
the hotel. The flames ate their way
into the hotel building and a huge
sheet of fire swept toward the Ira
ders Annex building in the rear and
It was soon roaring furnace.
Checked by Big Wall.
Fortunately the eastern wall Of the
annex was solidly constructed and
had no openings except one window,
which overlooked the James & Law
store from the top and which could
be reached with hose streams. After
the Palace Furniture Company's store
was in flames the ftremen exerted
great efforts to keep the FIRE from
spreading to the adjoining building
and by throwing water along the big
wall and upon the lower roof sue
ceeded in coufning the fire to the
annex.
The fire then gradually spread to-
ward the court house corner, con
suming everything in its path. and
between II o'clock and midnight the
part of the block occupied by the
Traders hotel was mass OF flames,
which leaped high into the air and
presented spectacular scene. when
the flames crept up the cupola over
the corner tower they whirled around
the cOnical roof and made a magni-
6cient, though costly, illumination.
The roof was held up by an iron skel-

An agent visited the speaker and in

decided at once that something had
been put over him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de-

WASHINGTON.

President Taft has indicated to
members of the California delegation
in congress that he. desires provision
made for government commission to
control the Panama Canal exposition
at San Francisco in 1915. The presi-
dent believes it will not be good taste
for the national government to invite
foreign nations to participate in a
purely state affair. There is reason to
believe also that he has Japan parti-
cularly in mind.
The case involving the right of Sen
ator Lorimer of Illinois to retain his
seat was advanced Saturday to a po-
sition where the senate must fill
buster or vote upon it. 1t was made
the unfinished business. Senator Bev.
eridge Friday concluded his three
days speech.
Contending that the Russian gov
eminent is violating the citizenship
treaty with this country in that it dis
eliminates against American citizens
because of religious faith, Senator Gull
berson Friday introduced the follow
ing resolution: Resolved That it is
the sense of the senate that the treaty
of 1882 between the United States and
Russian should be abrogated because
of the discrimination by Russia be-
tween American citizens in the ad-
ministration of the treaty" The reso-
luton was referred to the committee
on foreign affairs, which will consider
1t at hearing at an early date.
Senator Gore, in an interview Sat
urday, declares his OPPOSITION to the
pending Japanese treaty. He says the
United States should assume firmer,
instead of more yielding course TO-
ward Japan.
The sixty-frst congress is comine
to an end with a tangle of filibusters
and such prospects of prolonged fights
over important measures that there is
the gravest danger that some of the
big appropriation bills will fail, thus
necessitating the calling of an extra
session quite Independent of the threat
which President Taft has made in re-
gard to the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment
President Taft and Governor Col
quit will be petitioned to appoint, at
the earliest possible time, the two
commissioners who are to remark the

This line was run by a commission
consisting of w. d, Twitchell state
surveyor at Amarillo, Tex, and Arthur
