Balleustio hastened to the East 1O4th

Craliccio arrived in time to confirm
his story. Craliccio agreed that the

TOXIC, March 81 (By The Associated

For four hours during the night a
violent, biting wind drove the flames in
the direction of the heart Of the city,
causing panic among The population
over wide area. Four thousand troops
aided the firemen in combating the
blaze, but it was only when the force of
the wind let down notably that their
efforts to control the fire were rewarded
with success.
Scenes of terror were witnessed in
many sections as the course of the
flames threatened widespread destruc-
tion. The streets were choked with
masses of despairing refugees from the
districts already stricken, accompanied
by carts loaded with furniture, the con-
fusion being ADDED to by the flocking in
of sightseers from other sections. Many
Of the half frozen fugitives fleeing from
the flames bore infants strapped to

great difficulty in restraining incipient

The fire burned SO fiercely and with
such intense brightness that the skies
were illumined by fiery halo which
was visible for hundreds Of miles as it
hung over the city. The Diet, which was
in session when the blaze started, ad-
journed when it's threatening nature

Western Sheep Men to Obtain
 Reduction in Commission Rate

Wool Growers association discussed the rate question with representative of the commission houses at its an nual convention in January. Later a special committee called upon the officers of the exchanges at the six leading markets, but no reduction in rates could be obtained.
 Through action of the executive committees of the national and the Idaho Wool Growers associations, arrangements have just been com pleted for the opening of houses to sell sheep at the markets at the old rate. The houses to be opened in June for receipt of western lambs wiV be managed by A. J. knollin, na- tional figure in sheep affairs. Prior to 1918 MT. knollin conducted what was considered to be the largest and most widely known sheep commits sion business in this country. Since that time he has been engaged in at tending to his own ranching interests. His return to the sheep commission work is made as a service to the in- dustry and in the Belief that the old late is a reasonable charge. MT. Knollin has been assured of a large volume of shipments to be consigned to his houses in support of his under taking. This business will go to the new houses, regardless of rates estab- Hshed by the old concerns, because sheep men realize the necessity of continuing patronage to the only pos sible plan of effecting the required reduction.
