STARTED IN AUTO GARAGE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
SPREADING FAST.
Damage Estimated at Half Million

Burned-AlI But Two Stores and a
Few Residences Destroyed-Stanley

territory that was formerly the Flat.
head Indian reservation, amounts to
at least 100000, OF which about half
Is covered by insurance. Stanley
Scarce, merchant and banker. is the
heaviest loser. Property belonging to
him to the value of 100000 was de-
stroyed, with $4,000 insurance. All
but two stores and a few residences
We're destroyed, and these were saved
by the fact that creek divides the
town.
The fire started at 2:3O p. m. Satur-
day in a garage and burned fiercely
until o'clock, destroying the main
part of town, both sides of the street,
for three blocks. Two banks were
burned to the ground and the vaults
must be examined before the loss sus-
tanned by these institutions can be
estimated. Among the buildings de-
stroyed was government flour mill.
Roman was village until three
years ago, when the reservation was
thrown open for settlement. 1t was
incorporated year ago as a town and
its population has grown tenfold.
There are about 1900 inhabitants.
All communication was interrupted
for several h urs, but late message

ton and that there are plenty of pro-
visions for the ones driven from their
homes, who are being cared for in
temporary shelter.

PRESIDENT SIGNS PANAMA BILL
Suggests Resolution Declaring That
Measure Is Not Considered vio-

Iation of Treaty Provisions.
Washington.-Presi Taft signed
the Panama canal bill Saturday night.
Following this, he sent to congress
memorandum suggesting the advisa.
bility of the passage of resolution
which would declare that this measure
was not considered by this govern.
ment violation OF the treaty provi-
sions regarding the canal
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
shipping from the payment of tolls
for the use Of the canal, Mr.. Taft
says the irresistible conclusion to be
drawn from it is that although the
United States owns, controls and has
paid for the canal, it is restricted by
treaty from aiding it's own commerce
in the way that all the other nations
of the world may freely do"

les to Telegraph Poles.

Eel Paso, Texas.-News by courier
was brought to Hachita, N NJ, Monday
that the rebel generals Pascual Orozco
and Inez Salazar have formed a func-
ton fifty miles below the border at
that point. If this report is true the
rebel leader has escaped rom the trap
set by federals below Juarez and
passed through the Gordon Of troops
strung along the railways.
The courier reported that the com.
bined forces of Orozco and Salazar
number about 900 men. They are Sc
lecting the best horses, and killing all
animals they cannot use. The courier
came from the Nogales ranch, where
the rebels are operating near the
boundary of Chihuahua and Sonora.

position to prevent Orozco's entrance
into the westward border state
through the San Luis pass.

will pass through Colonia Morelos and
neighboring Mormon settlements in
the state of Sonora. Fearing this, a
courier was dispatched from Douglas

approach of the rebels.
