saw AND PLANNING MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Estimated Loss Be- weea S.
900 and $4,000.

The large saw and planning
mill belonging to Cassetty Bro
theirs. located on Jennings Creek.
two miles above North Springs.
was destroyed by fire between
ten and eleven O'Clock Tuesday
night September 26.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. but the owners are of
the opinion that it started in q
pile of shavings several feet from
the furance. The mill was run
late that day and it was after
dark when the fireman left the
mill. Live Goals, unobserved by
the fireman. were no doubt left
on the outside of the firebox, and
later sparks from these ignited
the shavings.
Besides the machinery and
mill shed, the fire destroyed 49,
600 feet of dressed lumber, that
had just been finished. The
dressed lumber was for a Nash.
vile man. to be used in the
erection of a house, and was
waiting transportation.
The fire was first discovered
by Prof. Ensor, VINO is rooming
with John Cassetty. who lives
near the mill He was awaken
by his baby and at first thought
the house was on fire. His mis-
take was soon discovered and
Mr.. Cassetty aroused from a
sound sleep. A general alarm was
quickly given TO several neigh.
bors over the telephone and in a
short time they arrived at the
mill. BY heroic work they ex-
tinguished the fire in the lumber
yard. that was just beginning to
get under Roadway. This saved
400, 600 feet of ruff lumber.
The mill and lumber are owned
by John. Sam and Will Cassetty.
of North Springs, and George
Graves of Nashville. They do a
general lumber business. and had
several orders for house patterns
to fill when the mill burned.
Preparations are being made
to install what new machinery
that is needed. and the mill will
be in operation again in a short
time.

QUERY ON PACT
President Asked Concerning

Senate Would Know Stand of
FOur-POWer Plan.
mo ALLIANCE SAYS new
All Treaties Defended by the
Indiana Senator.
"We'Ve Always Had Under
standing With JAPAN"
mo ALLIANCE" SAYS new

Washington, March "a resolution
asking President Harding what effect
ratification of the four power Pa
cific treaty will have on the Lansing
Ishii agreement between the United
States and Japan was adopted today
by the senate.
There is no alliance in the four
power Pacific treaties nor any obliga-
ton to use force, Senator New of In
diana, Republican, member of the for
eign relations committee declared to-
day in opening in the senate discussion
of the treaties, on behalf of the adj
miniStration.
Safeguards Peace.
Replying to criticism of the treaties,
Senator New declared that the four
power treaties gave safeguards for
peace to the United States and did
not impair American sovereignty. Sem
ator New made a; detailed comparison
of the treaties with the league of ma
tons plan and asserted that the
treaties were cooperative" While
the league, he said, was. drastic and
compulsory" and required submission
of all questions to a council
Instead of threatening, injuring or
impairing our liberty, free institutions
independence and sovereignty, this
treaty adds to the security of all of
them,'' said Senator New.
Says Japan Treaty Identical.
1--WE have had for a decade an OBJ
legation with Japan couched in prac-
tically identical language and yet no
effort heretofore has suggested that
this constituted anything resembling
an alliance" he said. Certainly dur
ing the ten years of its existence, this
has led us into no trouble, no embroil-
ment, no operations under a military
alliance
On the question of use of force I'M
der the treaties, Senator New con-
tinued, There is no provision for
force by one against the others or by
the others against the one; there is
here not even a covert threat of
force.
Must Be Understood.
Force is not in this provision.
There is here only an undertaking of
and among friends to talk over con-
troversies and adjust them in a spirit
of amity.
but wish to emphasize" Senator
New continued, that it is not an al
lance in any heretofore accepted
meaning of the word and if it was not
clearly understood by the powers
party to it that was none of these. L
should not venture to consent to its
ratification" 49, ~ -l

BUILD AT NEWTON.
Santa Fe Plans New Division
Office Building There.
Company Buys $500 Refrigera-
tor Cars at Cost of 100000.

Announcement has been made from
the Chicago offices of the Santa Fe
that under the items of expense in
the new station and office building
section of the companys annual bud
get, "a new division office building.
Harvey store ana railroad reading
room at Newton, Kan, is the biggest
bill to be met this year.
It has been known in Topeka for
some time that such a building was
being considered for Newton. but an
nouncement has been withheld by Of
ficials at this place pending assurance
that the improvement would be made
this year. Fred c. Fox, general man
ager of the Eastern lines, is out of the
city, but at his office today it was said
that final authority for the building
had not been issued and some doubt
would be a part of the 1921 program,
altho it is included in the current
budget.
Building Is Needed Badly.
Plans, probable cost, and other de-
tails of the proposed building are en-
tirely lacking so far as the company's
general offices here are concerned, it
was said, today. It is reported. how
ever, that it will consist of a. basement
and two stories and will be con-
structed of brick. Officials here admit
the building Is badly needed and ex-
year. The division offices at Newton
at present are badly cramped for room
and one or two officials find it neces-
sary to use quarters elsewhere. Be
tween sixty and seventy pesons are
employed in the office, it is said.
The next largest item in this sec
ton of the budget is for a brick out
bound freight house at Dallas. Tex,
and the third is for an addition to the
Harvey house at Gallup, New Mex.
The largest items under the shop
buildings section are for new power
plants at San Bernardino, Cal, and
Albuquerque, New Mex. and for hot
water boiler-washout systems at Gle
burne and Temple, Tex.
Another important announcement
made from the Chicago offices of the
Santa Fe is the purchase of $500 re-
frige-ator cars at an approximate cost
of $S,000,000, and eight new diners
at an estimated cost of $35O,OO0.
