That. the municipal courts building

that It will not pay to repair any parts
OF the building separately since the

eventually.

OF public works, has been looking into
the matter and believes that the old

ROME, Dec. 2s.-There was a vio-
lent earthquake shock IN Calabria
early this morning. The loss. both
OF life and property. is believed to be
heavy. II Is feared that at least two
towns are destroyed.
The earthquake occurred at o'clock
in the morning. the shock lasting for
80 seconds. according TO the record
on instruments here.
The Calabrian provinces affected
are Catanxaro, CosenSa, and Reggie
Di Calabra.
The most serious damage Is In Cat

heaviest sufferers. are the same that

from Mileto, in Reggie di Calabria, a

and from Nicotera, an important mar

Telegraphic communication Is COM

Of Santa Eufemia, town OF nearly

earthquake OF 1905, and II Is feared
that the damage there is very large.
Reports from villages not far from
Pizzo are TO the effect that there was
considerable loss Of life there and
that the old Pizzo Castle, Of great his

ecution OF Marat, was destroyed. The

II Is also reported that the town
Of Tropea, In the province OF Cat
anzaro, at the southern extremity OF
the Gulf of Santa Eufemia, Is badly
damaged.
Throughout Calabria the quake
seems to have caused heavy damage
to property. The inhabitants, panic
stricken. crowded into the streets OF
the villages. despite the heavy rain,
which flooded the streets.
The shock was the most intense, 1t
appears, in the smaller villages. AL

most part persons who were asleep
in their homes when the shock came.
Their houses collapsed, burying them
in the ruins.

We know OF the history OF the an

new light on this subject. but not only
will the early history OF Italy need re-

Salem, June S.-COmplete official
Malheur and Wheeler have reduced
the majority in favor of the Univer-
sity of Oregon appropriation bill to
1851. Partial returns from Malheur
county indicate that the bill has been
defeated there, but it has carried in
Wheeler, while Harvey is in doubt.
The complete returns from all three
of these counties will not change the
general result in any way for their
vote is light and will break about
even on the university question.
The counties of the Willamette val
ley have rolled up enormous majori-
ties against the bill, Marion county
heading the list with an adverse ma
jority of 2213, and Linn following with
a majority of 1902. In Columbia coun-
ty the appropriation was defeated by
one vote, and in Crook by 10. Sew
eral other counties returned small
majorities against the bill.
Among the counties that have sus-
tanned the legislature and approved
the bill, Multnomah heads the list
with a majority of $500. Lane coun-
ty comes second with majority Of
1873, Jackson third with 692 and
Clatsop fourth with 500. The coun-
ties of Baker, Umatilla, Coos, Sher-

Slightly outclassed by the visiting
team, Lorimer's men went down in
defeat yesterday, but the score was
S to 6 and the Mormons were forced
to work hard for their victory.
In the game yesterday the Pendle-
tonians played with some spirit and
at no time during the nine innings was
victory certain for O'Briens crowd. AS
a twirler, Aubin was more than a
match for Kotteman, the La Grande
pitcher, and the summary shows IA
hits for Pendleton to but 13 for La
Grande.
But in the error column Pendleton
is credited with IL bad plays, while
La Grande has but s. These figures
tell the tale of the game, for 1t was
poor work in the outfield that allowed
La Grande the runs that won the
game.
Though the game was close and in
teresting yesterday there was nothing
spectacular at any time and there
was seldom anything for the crowd
to go wild about.
A bad feature Of the game was the
i'll feeling that plainly exitsed be-
tween the two teams. This year as
in the past La Grande has a team Of
"beefers" and 'roughnecks." In
every game that team has played this
year those things have been plainly
evident. Though there are some real
sportsmen on the team the bulk Of
the players including Jack o'Brien,
are ready to beef bulldoze and to in
suit whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself. AS a result that team
has few admirers among the local
fans and there is a sigh of relief that
the team has departed. Pendleton
fans are willing to accept defeat any
time from superior nine, but they
do not like the class of playing
O'Brien's men displayed here during
the past week.

These trains were pulled by o. R.
