One of the most disastrous gralu fires of the season In Umatilla coun ty occurred near Helix Monday af ternoon when more than 2Q'JQ sacks 'of wheat were burned or so badly ' damaged that they will not be mar ketable. I The fire Is supposed to have been caused by sparks from the passing N. P. train as the place of origin was near the tracks. The fire started about 3 o'clock, soon after the train hud passed. It swept across one cor ner of the Carl Kupers place, de ; stroying 123 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 ble of the William Tlmmerman farm. I Mr. Timmerman had a stack of 2000 sacks of wheat In the field and it Is ( estimated that half of this was badly t damaged. The loss to each farmer is covered by Insurance.

The proposition to stage the Round-up In San Francisco originat ed with the' estpuwsltlon officials and fs considered as a high tribute to the fame of the Pendleton show. An of fer of t2nooo for expenses and 1 10. 000 additional for prizes was made to the directors and every possible Inducement used to secure a contract The offer seemed very flattering to the Round-up 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. It is a general conviction thst it is not possible to stage the Round-up outside of Pendleton. While the bucking stock, the Indians, cowboys and other stock and performers could be moved to California, the spirit j and atmosphere of the Round-up Is distinctly Pendleton's own and can-' not be transported, In the view of j most local people. Not at any time did the directors consider the proposition save as anj advertisement for the Round-up and Penuleton. But the improbability of duplicating the features that have made the local show such a great ' success constitutes an objection which j manv believe would lessen the value! of the advertising. In the event that the directors con-i elude to accept a proposition theyj will first call a meeting of the stock holders to ascertain their views. j 1 ternattonal Relief Committee, com posed largely of Americans have been working under difficulties to supplj food to the starving natives.

Returning to the embassy he rrepared a note to Lansing putting in writing the full acceptance of this government's terms as contained In the Lusitanla reply. The ambassa dor's note read: "Regarding our conversation this morning I beg to Inform you that my Instructions, regarding our answer to the last Lusitanla note, are that It contains the following passage: "No liner will be sunk by our ' submarines without warning and without safety to the fives of noneombatants, provided liners do not try to escape or offer re sistance.' "Although I know you do not wish to discuss Lusitanla ques tion till the Arable Incident has been definitely and satisfactorily settled, I desire to Inform you of the above, because this policy of my government had been decided on before the Arabic Incident oc curred. "I 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 contended."
