the event of Turkeys declining to

If on Thursday the reply Of
the ottoman delegates is not sat-

The consensus of opinion, however.
is that the present obstacle will he
surmounted by the delegates and that
the real danger will be over the fu
ture possession of the fortress of
Adrianople.
The indications at present are that
mediation by the outside power only
can solve the question. Under the ar
rangements Of presiding officers of the
peace conference Of tomorrow, the
chairman should be the leader of the
Greek mission. 1t is assumed a sub
stitute will be chosen pending a settle

SIXTY new TOWNS
ADDED BY TARIFF
Joint Freight Agreement
Places Grand Forks in Bet:
ter Jobbing Position.

Sixty additional towns and cities on
the 500 railroad have been placed in
direct touch with Grand Forks
through the establishment Of a joint
freight tariff over the Northern Pacific
from Grand Forks to the wheat line
Of the 500.
New lines that have been opened
to Grand Forks johbers under the tar
iff sheets which will become effective
tomorrow SO far as stations within
this state are concerned. and and on
January 20 to stations in Minnesota
and Caada that are affected, iclude
the following:
Fordville. Walsh county, to
Drake. McHenry county.
Drake, McHenry county, to
Plaza, Mountrail county.
Drake to Kenmare, Ward coun-
ty.
Kenmare to Ambrose. Divide
county.
Fordville, N. D., to Thief River
Falls. MINI.
Heretofore the only territory on the
500 line open to Grand Forks ship
pers has been between Fordville and
Kenmare on the main line of the 500
railroad. Several years ago an ef-
fort was made to gain a Joint tariff
over the 500 line from kenmare to
Minot. but it was not granted. The
construction Of the new line recently
from Fordville to Drake has been re-
sponsible for the granting of the re-
quest now for the new tariffs which
will open a big territory to Grand
Forks jobbing interests.
Heretofore only forty-seven 500 line
towns were in direct touch with Grand
Forks, the new tariff making the total
number of 500 towns connected with
the city 107.
It is expected that the Great North
ern will issue q similar joint freight
tariy within short time.
