CAN TAKE MEXICO CITY ANYWAY IN THREE WEEKS His Answer is Not Taken as An Ac ceptance of the Invitation to Join the Conference Which Leaves the Situation as Before With Rebels Making Headway for Capital.. Washington, June 6. The Mexican Junta announced that Carranza was willing to send representatives to the mediation conference, ,but there are so many "buts," .. that the Junta's statement could hardly be considered an acceptance of the mediators' invi tation to the peace conference. In the first place Judge Douglass, Carranza's lawyer, would not'iay whether or .not the Constitutionalist reconsidered the previous refusal to mediate Mexico's internal affairs. In addition the Junta insisted that, whether they were represented at Ni agara Falls or not.JlCarranza never would consent t4 the plan which fail ed completely and finally to elimin ate Huerta. The Junta's opinion is that the rebels can take the city- of Mexico in three weeks. It also pre dicted that the war material now on its way from New York to Tampico for the rebels would be landed with out interference, unless before the ar rival, Carranza should decide to join the peace negotiations and consent t i an armistice. No great solution comes of the dif ficult situation with this answer. Car ranza wants what the president of the United States has been looking for, namely the complete elimination of Huerta and it is supposed that he is taking this stand strengthened by Wilson's idea.

Sportsmen Got Together and Handled Fish on Short Notice. One hundred and seventy-three thousand Eastern Brook trout were added to the habitation of several Grande Rdnde streams yesterday. The carload of fish which arrived yes terday noon could not be sent on to Wallowa as planned as there was a misunderstanding of orders all around. Deputy Gregg had orders to leave them here, and Superinten dent Clanton could not be reached by wire. The change was suggested be cause of the horse show, but when the car arrived the fish had to be un loaded here, and local sportsmen "russeled" autos to care for the 177 cans.' Practically no fish were lost. Upriver, Summerville and Imbler streams got the fish, and Cove and Union will get a car of their own. The confused situation finally worked itself out satisfactorily.

"Some Show" said the vast crowd, and "some show" jt was. With the band making merry music and keeping up the spirits of the ciowd, with some superb performance being staged nt every minute of tha time with , real Indians in all their gi-.udy raiment lending color to tho scene, linking prehistoric days with the inventions of a modorn time, with races that would have done justice to I the famed amphitheatre of Rome, with men as aaring as uen nur anu as ague as the best circus rider, un afternoon of snort sped by quickly.

When he drove out on the track, he had tied his lines about hir. should-r and with an improvised hook on the stubbed arm. held the rains as v?ith a mailed fist, and n good lash in the other.

Jno Spain won 'this race in the fust time of 571 seconds. The gents' relay was another per-fo-mance of skill and speed, and was itself worth the price of admission. For. three laps both A.. E.
