DIGGING ON FARM
FINDS ART GEM

Rome-Six months ago a Neapo.
Titan bought for $4,000 a plot -four
miles outside of Rome, which was
to be devoted to the growing of arti-
chocks. While digging recently he
discovered a large marble fountain
SIX feet high and six feet in diameter
with a frieze of dancing girls in bas-
relief, evidently the product of a
Greek chise.
Despite efforts to keep the discov-
cry secret the archaeological depart
ment heard Of it and sent a committee
to investigate. This committee valued
the discovery at 100000.
The government, which is legally
entitled to purchase these finds at
three fourths their value, offered the
farmer $4,000 but the value of the
discovery was evidently purposely un-
ierestimated.
The farmer refused to part with the
discovery at the price named. He
also refuses to allow any further ex-
cavatlng by the department. The
government IS waiting for the farmer to
come down in his demands. Mean
while the fountain Is deteriorating
from the exposure.

FULTON MUST
EXPECT FIGHT
FEDERAL JUDGSHIP WILL
NOT BE SECURED EASILY
Man Who People Refused to Send
Back to the Senate VIII not be Al
loved TO Slip Into Fat Life Office
Without Struggle - Pendleton
Man May be Named for Place.

1t is doubted in many quarters that
Senator Fulton will become United
States district judge for Oregon with
out opposition, says the Portland
Journal. It Is admitted that he will
perhaps be closer to the appointment
than other lawyers Of the state who
may get into line for the position,
but 1t is predicted that he will have
to move some to win the appoint
ment, even with his handicap
The bill providing for an additional
federal judge for Oregon has not yet
become a law, though it now seems
POSSIBLE that it will in time. 1t has
passed the senate with amendments
to the house bill and the house has
accepted the amendments after a con
ference between representatives Of
the house and senate. All that now
remains Is the adoption Of the report
Of the conference committee by the
senate and the signature Of the bill
by the president
Already different men in the state
are counting their chances of land
ing the new job, so the report has it,
and within a few days the wires will
be singing with kilograms urging the
appointment of different men.
Some time ago, when it was pro-
posed to create an eastern Oregon
district John L. Rand of Baker City
was in the lead for the position. At
that time w. r. Ellis, now in con-
gress and consequently barred from
the present contingency, was also af-
ter the position. James A. Fee of
was another candidate, as
were Charles A. Johns, 5. A. Lowell
and others.
Following the death Of the late
Judge c. b. Bellinger, these men and
also Judge Bean Of the state su-
preme court were regarded as candi- !
dates for the office, which finally
went to the present incumbent, Judge
c. +. Wolverton. Besides these there
are other men, Judge II. L. Benson of
Klamath Falls, Judge George II. Bur- !
nett Of Salem, and many others who
would like to have the place.
1t is believed that should the ap-
pointment not go to Fulton the next |
choice would be to some man from |
eastern Oregon. In that case James |
A. Fee of Pendleton, would have a |
good chance, having always been a
close friend Of Fulton. A scrap is ex-
pected when the time comes.

OF the road state there is no necessity
FOR faster service unless it becomes
necessary to connect with through
Great Northern and Northern Pacif-
ic trains from Puget sound to the
east.
The O. r. & y. Spokane flyer is
now arranged on the fastest schedule
between Spokane and Portland of any
train of either the Hill or Hartman
lines. Owing to the great distance
OF the O. Il. & y. route the mainten-
ance of this schedule makes it neces-
sary to operate this train at high
speed and it is not believed that it
will be able to increase it sufficiently
to beat even the 12-hour schedule
under consideration by the North

AMERICA CHALLENGES
FOR DAVIS CUP AGAIN

New York, March Pursuant to
decision reached at the recent meet
ing of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association, an Ameri-
can challenge for the Dwight F. Da-
Wis international cup will be cabled
to the Australian Lawn Tennis AS
sociation today. The Australian as
sociation is the present holder of the
trophy. The formal cabling of the
challenge does not mean that Beals
c. Wright and Frederick B. Alexan-
der, the American challenging team
of 1908 will necessarily make the
trip again this year. 1t is said that
some difficulty will be met in getting
a team of sufficient merit.
