William r. Kraft, travelling freight
agent for the Northern Pacific rail
way, attended the meeting and offer
ed a number Of valuable suggestions,
one Of them being that the value OF
the tour not be sacrificed to saving
of few hours time.
In order that there may be as lit.
tie loss of actual working time as pos.
sible, an effort will be made to carry
a diner on the trip. 1t is also prob.
able that some Northern Pacific Off.

Baseball Discussed.
Possibilities for baseball for Bis.
marck this season were discussed,
and John A. Larson was named chair
man of a temporary athletic organiza.

tain the feasibility of building park

A number of prominent Bismarck
fans turned out, and there seemed to
be a general impression among those

Larson and his committee will report
at a meeting to be held next Monday
evening, when, if indications are Ia
the "go-ahead" signal will be
given.

FARM BUILDINGS
WERE DESTROYED

Jamestown. N. D., May 1.-THE big
new barn, the granary, and the chick
en- house on the farm Of Joseph Kos
sack. living near Medina, were totally
destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon
during the high wind.
Kossack had burned straw stack
about a quarter of a mile west of
his barn a few days before and it
was still smouldering when the high
wind arose and famed the sparks
into flames. About 10 a. m. Sunday,
Kossack discovered the fire creep
ing through the heavy layer of straw
on the ground toward the barn and
notified the neighboring farmers Of
the trouble. A crowd of men and
boys gathered and they worked des-
perately to head off the fire, but as
they would lift up a fork full Of
straw, the fire would jump to another
spot and spread rapidly. The chemi-
cal engine from Medina was called
out but at $3.50 in the afternoon the
fire reached the barn and in less than
twenty minutes the big building so by
100 feet, collapsed in flames.

NOT EXPECTED
RESULT WILL
Be CR|T|CAL
Failure to Bring About Agree
ment Will Not Produce
Crisis.
READY TO START
ALL OVER AGAIN
General SCOTS Official Report Is
Expected to Arrive at Wash
ington Today.

Washington, D. c., May 11.-While
no official report from Gen. Scott had
arrived tonight that his conference
with Gen. Obregon had failed to bring
about an agreement as to the border
situation, it was clear that the admin
istration officials after reading the
news dispatches did not regard the
failure as producing critical situa-
tion between the United States and
Mexican de factO government. Gen.
Scott was expected to prepare full
report for President Wilson, which
should reach Washington in time for
the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
Both department officials and Elisio
Arredondo the Mexican ambassador
designate, have been prepared to re-
sumo the task of the border situation
at the point where the diplomatic
questions were suspended when mill
tary conferences was arranged. fri
The ambassador called at the State
Department today to talk over the
general situation with Secretary Lam
sing. He is understood to have reit-
Grated the argument of Gen. Carranza
in urging early withdrawal of the
American troops from Mexico.
Mr. Arredondo previously has said
that the failure. of Generals Scott and
Obregon to reach an understanding
in no way affects the diplomatic prob
lem. r H
NOT FULLY ADVISED
Officials Of the administration have
not been advised fully of the discus
sions in I'll Paso, and necessarily will
need reports from General Funston
and Scott in order to know how to
dead with the question of setting q.
date etforr7withdraWal OF The Americait
troops. 3 s,
The fact that unofficial reports came
tonight Of a new raid is considered
proof that General Pershing's task
has not been completed There is
every reason to believe his force will
remain in Mexico until it has been
completed and that no amount of argu-
ment. by Gen. Carranza will bring Il
change in that determination.
When the military conference was
arranged. the State Department had
taken no steps toward preparing an
answer TO CarranZa's note suggesting
withdrawal of the troops. 1t will be
month tomorrow since that COM
munication was received. Officials
seemed inclined not to make any
haste in taking up the question.

A wreck of the Rock Island work

pletely over and the train was
stopped just in time. Nobody was in
jured. The train had a wreckin2

PEELED to go to West Union to turn
the wrecking machine around. They

HOME FROM CHICAGO.
Champion Boy Corn Grower of Win
neShiek Had Fine Trip to
International Stock Show.

Leland Mcmillan the Winneshiek
County boy who won first prize in the
acre corn growing contest held in
Winneshiek this year, arrived home
Saturday from his trip to Ames and
the international Stock Show at Chi
cago, where he spent a week with
so other Iowa boys, winners in the
beef, pig and corn contests clubs. The
boys were in charge of E. G.. Bishop,
of Ames, and they had a great time
in Chicago. They visited the big
packing plants, manufacturing es-
adjustments, etc, and were also
taken to Gary, Ind, where they saw
the big steel plants manufacturing
war munitions. Leland has every
right to feel proud over his efforts
and the honor of being the cham
piOn boy corn grower of WinneshieK.
We had the pleasure of meeting him
hammered young fellow, exceptions
ally bright, and we predict that he
is going to make one of the best
farmers in Winneshiek, and if he en-
ters the corn contest next year, he
expects to make them all go some.
Seven other county winners will
meet in DEBORAH next Saturday and
will be given money prizes. Supt. Of
Schools H. E., Miller had charge Of
the contest in this county.

AN interesting feature OF the

in the hope that they would
arouse an interest among the towns
people in planting flowers about
their homes. The local papers as
sisted us by printing requests that
citizens bring flowers to the H.

by our interested board member and
by the library staff. The result has
been a beautiful and attractive place
