advertising purposes in two papers.
The Optic will appear as a six-col-
umn eight page paper Monday, May
18th. The change will necessitate the
addition to the front office force of
two men, with a corresponding in
crease in the mechanical department.
In addition to this will be the extra
charge for paper, ink, additional post
age, etc. so that it will mean an a
diticnal charge on the expense roll of
The Optic of $500 a month over what
1t has heretofore cost to produce the
paper. With the slightly increased
advertising rates and counting on the
utmost liberality on the part of u
large business institutions, we can
not and do not hope to meet one-half
of this additional expense, but we be-
Iieve that with the enlarged paper
we will in time be compensated, in a
measure. at least, through an enlarged
circulation. n an enlarged circula-
lion will. in turn. greatly benefit the
advertiser, who will not be charged
any more than what the space is
worth today.
Messrs. McNary and Allen will dur
ing the mex few days see and arrange
with all advertisers about the changes
necessitated in their space. both in
price and position, on account of the
| changes in the paper, and will also see
every one who should be represented
in The Optics columns when the pa
| per goes abroad. On the encourage
| ment they receive will largely depend
| whether or not in the not distant fu-
ture. perhaps, Las Vegas will have a
| s~even-column, eight page paper.
The Optic will do its part if others
will do theirs. ana none will be at any
greater expense han he has bee to
heretofore.

THE GOOD.
A Few Facts for the Consideration Of
the Thoughtful Advertiser.

The Optic in a few more months
will have entered upon the quarter
century of it's existence. Since its es-
adjustment newspapers of all descrip-
tions and to the number of almost a
score have sprung up and wrecked
themselves against the rock that The
Optic stands upon-the confidence of
the people.
The last instance of the attempt on
the part of a newspaper to gain a foot
hold in this community was probably
the most strenuous, if we may use a
R~ooseveltian word, that has ever been
attempted. The strongest combination
OF individuals possible to organize in
this section of the country was
formed not for the purpose OF
destroying The Optic, but to establish
another daily newspaper in the same
field. The result every N knows.
To succeed simply meant a tax on the
community that did not justify the
community in meeting the expense of
maintenance, and therefore it could
not succeed.
Now, as to the practical value to the
advertiser for the money spent for
| space in the Record. we propose to
| take the ublic into our confidence and
| disclose some office secrets:
A careful perusal of the four paper
| routes of the Record and it's out-of
| town subscription lists, all gone over
for the purpose Of arranging The Op
| tic subscription lists to go into effect
| after the first of the month, reveals
| the fact that The Optic will not gain
over sixty subscribers as a result 'oi
the purchase. In other words, after
two years Of the papers existence the
man who advertised in both the Rec
ord and The Optic reached only sixty
more people for what his advertise
ment in the Record cost, and half OF
these were scattered over the terri
tory.
This should serve to convince any
one of the uselessness-almost bust
ness folly-of paying out money fol

CONFLICTING REPORTSOF POPE
Tenor OF Today's Bulletin Not Favorable
and Indications that End of POpe's
Life is Near.

His nonness was revlveu SO sat.s. az.
torily by the administration OF stimu-
lants that III. Lapponl was able u
leave the Vatican and pay another vis.l
to his daughter, who Is suffering from
an attack OF fever.
The dizziness from which the pope
suffered was a kind of mental confJ-
sion, during which he seemed to lose
consciousness OF his surroundings
while he believed he saw a vision. h
explained afterwards that he thoug..
he saw an underlined shadow moving
about the room, slowly approaching
his bed, whereupon the pontiff became
agitated and called for his valet, Pho
Centra, saying:
"Pio, Pho, who is it? Who is it?"
Dr. Lapponi and Contra rushed to
the patients bed and soon succeeded
in tranquillizing him.
It developed during the morning as
the result OF a careful medical exam
| ination that the condition of the pope s
| kidneys is worse, as the component
parts of the urine are not normal
| The dlminution of certain elements

TEN is gradually approaching state
OF dissolution. No traces of albumer
were found indicating, although the
kidneys are not performing their func
tons properly, that they are not them

DEPRESSION QUITE MARKED.
Physicians Bulletin Says the Pope
Passed a Bad Night.

Rome. July 1.-THE pope's condi-
tion took turn slightly for the worse
during the morning, but the change
does not excite apprehension of an
immediate climax Sunday night was
rather a sleepless one, particularly
during the early morning hours. The
official bulletin frankly speaks of agi-
tated periods during the night and
confesses that the general condition of
the patient is somewhat more de-
pressed 1t developed soon after the
issuance of the bulletin that this de-
preston was quite marked and it con,
tinued to manifest itself throughout
the forenoon. at one time assuming
an alarming aspect. This was when
the pope seemed to lose his grasp on
tangible surroundings.
For the first time since his illness
began there was momentary hallu-
cination. the patient believing that d
shadow fitted through the room. The
doctor and the attendant succeeded in
Quieting his fears. Outside of these
passing periods of depression the gen.
| eral condition OF mental aleItnesS
continues.
