couples attended the first annual
bail given by the Failon Volunteer
Fire Department at Clark's pavilion
last Saturday night. The affair was
a huge success both from a social
and financial standpoint. The vol

undone that would contribute to the
comfort and pleasure of their guests,
and as a consequence everything
passed off with the smoothness and
efficiency of practiced fire drill.
The hall had been tastefuliy dec
Grated and the floor was in excellent
condition, while the music was up

by the Jewett orchestra. The grand

DIRECTOko WILL
NOT SEND ROUND
UP TO THE FAIR
Conclusion Practically Reached That
Attractive Offer From San Fran
cisco Will be Refused.
NO CONTRACT HAS Been MADE
Story in Portland Morning Paper
Not Founded on Fact According TO
Official Statement Made Here To-
day-Best Interests Of show Would
Not BE Served.

There is little probability that the
Pendleton Roundup will be staged
in San Francisco next month accord
ing 10 an announcement given out
today by the directors Though ne
gotiations have been pending with
the Panama Pacific exposition Off
cials for several weeks and though a
very attractive offer has been made,
the directors have about reached the
conclusion that the best interests of
Pendleton's big frontier exhibition
would not be served by an attempt to
duplicate the entertainment for the
San Francisco fair crowds.
A news story in the Portland Ore
gonian this morning under a PEN
dleton date line. announcing that a
contract had already been entered
into with the exposition officials, was
premature and not founded in fact,
according to the directors. Roy T.
Bishop. one of the directors, left last
week for San Francisco to discuss
the matter with the officials and a
definite proposition was made. but
there is little likelihood that it will
be accepted.
The proposition to stage the
Roundup in San Francisco originat-
ed with the exposition officials and
IS considered as a high tribute to the
fame Of the Pendleton show. An Of
fer Of $50 600 for expenses and s10,-
900 additional for prizes was made
to the directors and every possible
inducement used to secure a contract
The offer seemed very flattertng to
the Roundup directors on first con-
sideration but sober judgment has led
most of them to the opinion that no
such attempt to stage the show
should be entertained
1t is a general conviction that it is
rot possible to stage the Roundup
outside of Pendleton While the
hucking stock, the Indians. cowboys
and other stock and performers could
be moved to California. the spirit
and atmosphere of the Roundup is
distinctly Pendleton's own and can
not be transported, in the view o;
most local people.
Not at any time did the directors
consider the proposition save as an
advertisement for the Roundup and
Pendleton. But the mprobability OF
duplicating the features that have
made the local show such a great
success constitutes an objection which
manv believe would lessen the value
of the advertising.
In the event that the directors con-
clude to accept a proposition they
will first call a meeting of the stock
holders TO ascertain their views.

OVER TWO THOUSAND
SACKS Of WHEAT ARE
BURNED NEAR HELIX
SPARKS FROM PASSING TRAIN
ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE
STARTED FIRE.

One Of the most disastrous grain
fires Of the season in Umaulla coun-
~ occurred near Helix Monday af-
ternoon when more than 1000 sacks
of wheat were burned or so badly
damaged that they will not be mar
ketable.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by sparks from the passing
\. P. train as the place Of origin was
near the tracks. The fire started
about o'clock, soon after the train
had passed. 1t swept across one cor
ner Of the Carl Kupers place, de-
stroying 1913 sacks Of wheat lying In
the stubble spread to the William H.
Dale stubble, burned about a thous-
and sacks Of wheat and sweeping
across a quarter section Of the stub
bic of the William Zimmerman farm
Mr., Zimmerman had a stack Of 1000
sacks Of wheat in the field and it is
estimated that half Of this was badly
damaged. The loss to each farmer
is covered by insurance.
The fire was a hot one and at
tracted many people within a short
time. About 2J went out from Helix
and aided in the fight against the
flames. Only their efforts saved the
Zimmerman house and barn from
burning

They were pursued by the posse and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Germany
officially has accepted Americas
terms in the controversy growing out
Of Germanys submarine warfare.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff. acting
Tor the German foreign office, in
formed the state department this aft
ernoon that henceforth the kaiser's
submarine attacks will conform with
Americas Interpretation of interna.
tional law. Germany's reply to the
last Lusltania note, forwarded BY the
administration, will give assurance
that no more liners will be torpedoed
without warning, provided they do
not attempt to resist the submarine.
Neither will liners be sunk without
safety precautions for the lives OF
noncombatants which assurance car
ries with it the implication Of visit
and search and the allowance of am
pie time in which noncombatants may
be removed before the ship is sent to
the bottom. The state department
was further informed that Germany
had adopted this policy before the
Arabic was torpedoed and sunk. This
amounts to a practical disavowal OF
the destruction of the Arabic which
resulted in the loss Of two American
/ lives.
BernstOrff Sends Note.
Upon receiving instructions from
the Berlin foreign office as to the
information that should be given to
! this government Won Bernstorff in
formed Lansing of Germany's accept
ance of all the American demands or
, ally Returning to the embassy he
prepared a note to Lansing putting
in writing the full acceptance of this
governments terms as contained In
the Lusitania reply The ambassa.
doris note read:
Regarding our conversation
this morning 1 beg to inform you
that my instructions. regarding
orr answer to the last Lusitania
note. are that it contains the
following passage:
"No liner win be sunk by our
submarines without warning and
without safety to the lives Of
noncombatants, provided liners
do not try to escape or offer re-
sistance.'
Although I know you do not
wish to discuss Lusitania ques-
tion till the Arabic incident has
been definitely and satisfactorily
settled, I desire to inform YOU os
the above. because this policy OF
my government had been decided
on before the Arabic incident oc-
CURED.
Il have no objections to your
making any use you may please Of
the above information"
Lansing Is satisfied.
Commenting on the note, Lansing
would only say: "In view of its
clearness it seems needles to make
any comment other than that it ap-
pears to be a recognition Of the fun
damental principles for which We
have eontended."
