and under the supervision of the rail-
road and warehouse commission and
consists Of chief Inspector, two chief
deputies, one at Minneapolis and one
at Duluth respectively, and a corps
of underinspectors ranking down to
car prober, who, am informed is the
hardest worked and poorest paid man
on the Job. The board of grain APP
peals, as you are aware, is a higher
inspection who decide all cases APP
pealed to them The chief inspector
has always stood for rigid inspection
of the incoming grain and a lax in
speetion of the outgoing grain, per-
hitting grain to go out as No. North
ern that would not grade in for more
than No If ii was coming from the
country; also permitting grain to go
out as commercially clean that car

The Busy Inspector.
Before we had been on the board
two months the chief inspector one day
came into our office and made this
threat: IF you continue to raise
grades as you have been doing, we
will send a delegation to the gov
ernor" We answered, Send two, for
fear one may not reach him." / have
never discovered who he meant by
we" but you may be able to guess.
If his intention was to intimidate the
board, he shot wide of the mark.
His attitude has ever been inimical to
the incoming grain from the country,
for on his official visits to Duluth
the board always raised to a higher
grade a greater percentage Of the grain
brought before them on that day than
on other days of the year. He did not
display that same interest in the out
going grain and / don't think he was
ever found on the deck Of any OF the
boats loading grain, demanding that
the grade should be up to the stand
ard of the grain coming in. Take
for example the chief inspectors an
nual report for the year ending Aug.
81, 1909, on page 20, you will find
that the number of cars of spring
wheat inspected in at the port of Du~
luth and classified as Hard No. l, 2,
3, 4, rejected and no grade was 42,800.
On page 20 of the same report you Will
find that $50 cars were inspected out
of Duluth, and 46,762,602 bushels in
spected out into vessels. Nothing Is
said about the grade of this wheat.
This demonstrates clearly that such
a report would not compare favorably
and 1t was therefore withheld. Such
a report would not be accepted by any
business firm or corporation from their
subordinate manager, but the people
of Minnesota have been accepting this
kind Of report from the chief inspector
many years without complaint.

Whole Town Threatened BY Blaze
Which Does $4,000 Damage.

Harrington, Me. April 2S.-Children,
who thoughtlessly set fire to the grass
in the neighborhood of the Grange
hall started a confiagration which de-
stroyed 81 buildings with loss esti
mated at $4,000 The town is without
fire fighting apparatus of any kind and
but for hely from Cherryfield and Co
lumbia which were called upon when
the bucket brigades found the flames
beyond control, the whole town would
have been destroyed. The fire ragged
uncontrolled for three hours.
All the burned buildings stood upon
the west side of the Narragaugus riv-
or. They included II dwelling houses,
two school houses, the Baptist church
and parsonage, the new Town hall.
Grange hall and other structures. The
village stores are all located en- thu
east side of the river and the flames
were checked before they crossed to
those buildings.
The high wind sent sparks in every
direction and several houses were
saved only by the use of wet blankets
which were spread on the roofs.
Among those whose homes were de-
stroyed are Charles Leighton. William
Dyer, Howard Small, Lewis Nash,
David Nash, Albert Nash, Moses Nash,
Ellery Nash and Alvin Nash. Few of

Portland. Me, April 28.-Losses ag-
gregating quarter of a million dol
lars resulted from three fires in differ
ent parts of the State of Maine today.
The heaviest damage was at Fairfield,
where the Hume e. Newhall saw mills,
valued at $150.000, were destroyed, but
the most widespread destruction was
at Harrington, where 81 buildings, in
Guiding IL dwelling houses, a church,
two schools, the Town hall and Grange
hall. and other buildings went up in
flames. The loss there is estimated to-
be $4,000.
At Livermore Falls Is families were
made homeless by a fire which de-
stroyed eight houses and damaged
three others to such an extent as to
make them uninhabitable. The loss,
however. was small, being placed at
$22, 000
Lack of rain throughout the State
leaving everything dry, caused the fire
to burn much more fiercely and in
each instance it was only by the most
heroic methods that they were con-
trolled. The Harrington fire is thought
to have started from grass fire set by
children but the cause of the other
two has not yet been positively deter
mined.

FL PASO CHOSEN

Says He Is Satisfied.

Ell Paso, Texas. April 2S.-The cleo
ton of Ell Paso as the place for hold
ing the formal peace conference and
the naming of Judge Francisco Car
bajal of the Mexican supreme court
as the federal commissioner, were i'm
portant developments in the peace sit
uation today.
Judge Carabajal is known to Madero
by reputation only, but the Insurrecto
leader considers the appointment as
satisfactory.
The return of Gen. Bernardo Reyes
to Mexico is viewed with uneasiness
by Madero, according to a statement
which he gave out during the day.
The government commissioner left
the City of Mexico last night but
whether he is travelling via Eagle
Pass or Laredo was not stated. Gen.
Navarro's letter to Madero follows:
Il have been instructed by my gov
ernment that the government accedes
to your wishes with regard to the
meeting place of the peace commits
sioners, to wit, on the Mexican side Of
the dam lying between the City of
Juarez and your camp. [ am also in

men, left Mexico City last night"
Judge Carabajal, the peace commits
sioner, is jurist of the highest atA
tainments and considered a man of
integrity and independence of char
acter. He is about As years old.
Gen. Madero, it is reported, may ap-
pont more than one commissioner to
represent him. 1t is regarded as Ger
tain that DR.. Vasquez Gomez will be
a member of the commission as Ma
dero trusts him implicitly.

AT FAIRFIELD.

Fairfield. Me. April 2S.-tSpecIaD.-
Fairfield was visited by very serious
fire Friday afternoon when the saw
mill of Hume & Newhall was almost
totally destroyed. The fire broke out
at about 4.3O p. NJ, and it is not
known how it started. 1t is thought
that it caught in the boiler room. 1t
burned so rapidly that although the
fire department responded as soon as
possible, nothing could be done to save
the mill.
The plant had been shut down
through the winter and extensive re-
pairs had been made SO that the mill
might be started up next Monday
morning. An addition had been built
on, and much new machinery installed.
The addition was to be used for the
manufacture of crates. The crates
have been manufactured at the mill
for several months, but this new adj
dition was to be used especially for
that A great deal of new machinery
had been purchased, but only a part of
it had been installed. some of this was
still in car near by.
The condition of everything about
the mill was so dry that this made
matters very serious and the fire
spread all around the mill. and it was
with difficulty that it could be sub
dued. a detachment from the Wa
teryille fire department came up and
helped the local department as much
as possible.
The mill has since It has been start
ed, run day and night, and the new
machinery which had recently been
installed was to do away with the
night work, and two crews were to be
run days. This has necessarily been
a great expense and many other re-
pairs had been made.
Ore of the employees, Charles King
by name, had a, narrow escape try
ing to get out of the fire. He was

make his escape. his hands, hair and

men have been employed there, and
it means a serious loss, not only to
the members of the firm but the men
who depended upon the mill for a
living and to the town. 1t is not
known as yet just what the loss will
be, but it is thought that it will be
at least $l50,000, covered partially by
insurance. 1t is expected that the
mill will be rebuilt ut once. The mill
has been shut down all winter and
it seemed a hard blow tina: it should
burn just as everything was ready
to start up for the summer. Beside
the loss of the mill there was con-
siderable loose lumber which was a
total loss. 1t was fortunate that there
was not much of a breeze blowing
