Washington, Feb. 6-WOodrow Wilson has sent a personal request to W. J. Bryan to be present at his inauguration. The rumor will not down that Mir.

Bryan has any special qualifications that will be serviceable to the president in his administration of affairs, he will ask Bryan to accept a place in the cabinet, but Bryan is doing noth- ing to crowd himself into the place
 In other words it is up to Wilson.

Valdez, Feb. 6-Deeds to all un- contested lots in the Valdez town size are now being issued, or are ready to issue as soon as the as- sessments are paid. and it is ex- pected that the tOwnsite matter will be entirely settled by May or June.
 A notice has been published by the trustee calling attention to the fact that advertising of the list Of dellnQuents will begin about Feb. Is. After the publication Of de- HnQuent list starts, advertising costs will be added to the assess ments. Unless the assessments and costs are paid before the completion of publication the lots will be pub Hshed for about 60 days.
 One surprising feature Of the Valdez townsite is the small num- ber Of contests. In the allotment of several hundred lots. a large portion of which had never been surveyed, there have been but three cases so far where there is a conflict regarding ownership.

POPE REPORTED WORSE

cate Improvement.

ROME. April 1S.-A report gained circu-
lation shortly before noon that the Pope s
condition had taken a very sudden turn
for the worse. At the hour of this dis
patch it is impossible to verify the report
Today's morning bulletin issued by
Prof. Ettore Marchiafava and DR.. Andrea
Amici after their usual consultation at
the Pope's bedside was as follows:
Condition More Satisfactory.
There is further amelioration of the
pontiff's catarrhal trouble and bronchial
affection. His general condition is also
more satisfactory today. His temperature
this morning was 81.
"MARCHIAF'VA.
"AMICI"
Several cardinals have sent to Car
dinal Merry del Val to ask the exact
condition of the Pope. All have re-
ceived as a reply the physicians bull
letins, which, Cardinal Merry del Val
says, speak fol- themselves. He adds
that the amelioration in the Pope s
health, although slow. makes constant
progress.
