Origin Of the Fire Is
Absolutely Unknown

The Farmers elevator at Oriska was
destroyed by fire early Monday morn
ing. AS soon as the fire was discover
ed word was sent to Valley City and
Tower City for help. The Valley City
department loaded its chemical engine
on fiat car and the pusher started for
the scene, but was halted at Alta by
word that the fire was under control.
If the pusher had not been busy with
No. the Valley City boys could have
got started in time to be of assistance.
The Tower City department arrived in
time to help the Oriska fighters. A
dwelling house that caught fire was
saved without much damage resulting
to the structure. The origin of the Are
can not be learned at this time, and
the amount of the loss is not known.
1t is understood that there was about
5000 bushels of grain in the elevator.
Later information by telephone is to
the effect that the loss on grain would
be nearly $4,000. This is covered by
insurance. The building is estimated
at $1,000. The elevator company will
either buy one of the other elevators at
that point or rebuild at once.

Carranza Seems to Hold the
Balance Of Power in Mexico

Washington, Sept. 11.-General Car
ranza's counter proposal to the Pan
American diplomats to meet with him
over international phases of the Mex
lean problem, probably will be ap-
proved, according to an opinion ex-
pressed tonight by officials in touch
with the administration. Although
Carranza refused to yield to the ap-
peal of Secretary Lansing and the rep
resentatives of six Latin republics
that he join his adversaries in a peace
conference, it is pointed out here that
military conditions in Mexico have I'M
dergone marked changes in the last
few weeks and in some quarters it was
contended Carranza's claims for recog
milton are entitled to an investigation.
Since the Pan American appeal was
issued Carranza's armies have taken
possession Of territory in northern
and southern Mexico, while some re-
ports to the state departments have
declared Villas forces are disintegrat-
ing.
From authoritative sources, advices
have reached Washington that to con-
duct convention to elect provis-
ional government in Mexico without
the participation Of Carranza and fell
low commanders who now claim con-
troll is nearly impossible.

jamestown, Sept. 9.-W. H. Soffell
had Nick Kaiser, one Of his harvest
hands, arrested Wednesday night on
the charge of trying to destroy hts

the evidence, that Kaiser was driving
a bundle wagon, loading it up, he put
large rock into the load with inten-
ton Of throwing it into the separator
which would have put the machine out
of working order. Two other en-
ployees witnessed the attempt and
prevented Kaiser from completing the
act of vandalism.
