work. The room occupied by the chapel
will be used for school purposes at the
completion of the church. Since its
organization the parish has almost
doubled in numbers from additions ana

popular and has taken an active part IN
planning the new church.

BET ON ELEVATOR INDICATOR
washington Star.)

Two men with sporting procivities were
lounging in the lobby OF local hotel the
other day, talking over their losses and
gains at the recent Bennings track meet.
One of the men. according to his own
story, had been extremely fortunate,
while the other confessed to heavy losses.
During a pause in the conversation one
of the men-the loser-glanced toward the
elevator, where a handsome woman was
waiting to be taken to an upper floor.
The betting man Immediately saw an OPP
portunity TO indulge in his sporting pro-
pensities Turning to his friend he said
Joe to / the elevator indicator stops
at five" and he pointed to the dial on
which a hand indicates the movement of
tween the floors.
do you know any of the passengers
asked the man referred to as Joe as the
lift started on its ascent.
Nope; don't know SOUL
"All right Bill, you're on. Me for ten
bucks" replied Joe.
The elevator stopped at the sixth floor
and Bill handed out $50 to his friend.
But the loser was game and before the
car started down he said:
Two to five that the car stops at the
second floor on the return trip.
Taken" replied the other.
But the car came TO the first floor with
out stop. This was but the beginning
of the game for the two sports, and they
pulled UP chairs so as to permit them a
view of the elevator and put in the resi-
of the afternoon betting on the position
of the hand on the elevator dial.

Mr.. Rockefeller and wife will be at

DR. Biggar. They may come tomorrow,
and it may be Wednesday
John D. Not Disturbed.
IF it has been reported that Mr. Rookie
Teller is disturbed over proceedings
against the Standard Oil company and the
bringing in of his name in this connection,
quite the contrary is true.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been having Few
weeks recreation and rest. He has not
been thinking about Standard Oil com
pany affairs And why should he. since
he has not been actively connected with
the business of the company for twelve
years.
Asked if Mr.. Rockefeller believed that
because he had been out of the active life
of the great corporation for years this
fact would render him immune from any
possible legal attack, DR.. Biggar replied:
That is a matter | know nothing about.
Mr.. Rockefeller has never talked on the
subject so far as | know.

HE was out of doors most of the time,

is the condition of his daughter, who is

Salt Works Submerged.

1.-The area now being flooded by the
Colorado river was at one time UNI
doubtedly a part of the Gulf of Cali
fornia The bottom of the Salton sea
before this inundation began was about
275 feet below the sea level. The South
ern Pacific road passes through this for
fifty miles. AS the water pours in the
railroad has to remove. The salt works
at Salton station, which were operated
for several years, are now entirely sub
merged. Salt was gathered there from
this dry basin and afterward purified.
1.-THE Imperial valley, alongside OF
which flows the New river, has been re-
claimed from the desert and is divided
into cultivated ranches. 1t is feared
that much of it may be destroyed
There are so many startling facts con-
nected with these changes brought
about by the changed mouth of the
Colorado river that there is necessarily
much concern among many settlers and
land owners in the country that may be
affected.
There Is probably no district OF
