POPE REPORTED
BETTER TODAY
HAS TRANQUIL NIGHT
All Danger Is Not Over, However.
and There Is Grave Concern Still
for His Hcalth-AnOther Relapse
Would Probably Result in Death,
Declare Physicians.

Rome, April 1S.-Except for an
occasional coughing spell the pope
rested well last night. The papal
physicians express satisfaction today
over his condition, issuing the fol-
lowing bulletin:
"The holy father passed a tranquil
night and is wIJnout fever today. The
bronchial trouble is ameliorated and
his general condition is improved"
At noon the pontiff chatted with
his sisters and brother and nephew.
He took slight nourishment A re-
quest to leave the bed for a brief
period was denied him.
The vatican is still apprehensiye ov-
eI the pope's condition, the doctors
asserting it will take a week of good
days before all danger is passed. The
pontiff is still weak and it is believed
another relapse will result in death.
The vatican has redoubled its pre-
cautions and no reports are allowed
to leak out except the physicians Of
ficial bulletins and these are closely
censored by Cardinal Merry Del Val,
the papal secretary of state AL
though symptoms of disease were not
so prevalent today, it is known the
pope is not gaining strength.

8 NEW BRIDGES TO
BE CONSTRUCTED

As a result Of the session of the
county court this week, eight new
bridges will be constructed in various
sections of the county in all proba-
bility. Bids on that number are be-
ing advertised for and the contracts
Will be let as soon as possible
Two of the bridges will be across
Butter Creek, one at the old Vinson
post office site and one at the Mel
son crossing. Another of the bridges
is to be constructed above Weston at
the old jameson place, another a mile
and half west of Helix and another
four miles north of Pilot Rock across
Birch Creek. Another is to be on the
county road about mile west of the
branch hospital and still another in the
middle Cold Springs road below Ger
man Hall about a mile. The eighth
which is contemplated is in the east
end of the county about four miles
up the Walla Walla river from Milton
at the Joe West place. A new bridge
may not be constructed here but in
stead concrete piers may be put under
the old wooden one.
All of the bridges are 10 be small
ones and the total cost will probably
not be over $4,000, according TO the
estimates of the court

Immediately after the strike had

workers in the future.
They are human" he said last

nothing but bread and water since
their arrest Monday night in order
to teach them that they cannot come
into Denver and run the police de-
partment. While they are here they
are going to behave themselves or

SUPPOSED DROWNED MAN
TURNS UP ALIVE IN OREGON

Payette. April 1S.-While the reo-
pie of Fruitland bench were dragging
the Snake river for the remains of
James Farrell. who was supposed to
have been drowned last Thursday, a
telegram was received from La
Grande from Farrell by his wife,
stating he was in La Grande and ask
ing her to join him there. Since last
Thursday a large number of men have
ceaselessly dragged the river and
using dynamite with the hope of re-
covering the remains, which, it seems,
were all the time reposing in La
Grande. apparently in good health.
After all other means had failed
to find the body a clairvoyant was
taken to the scene of the supposed
drowning on Tuesday and after con-
siderable demonstration definitely To-
Gated the body at the junction of the
Malheur and the Snake. Wednesday

24-HOUR-A-DAY
FARMING SUCCESS

Marking a new step in modern
farming methods in Umatilla county
is the venture of w. H. Jones, prom
inent wheat grower, who has just con-
cluded an experiment in 24-houra-
day farming at his ranch just north
of the city with pronounced success
at the outcome. With his big cater
pillar engine drawing three three-bot-
tom plows, he has been using two
crews and running night and day
with the result that he has turned
ten days, an average of 60 acres a
day. The use of gas headlights sup
piled all the light necessary.
Having the equipment, labor being
plentiful and time being a consider
alton in view of the demand of his
neighbors for help in doing their
spring plowing Mr.. Jones decided to
operate his plows continually. Such
a venture had never been made be-
fore in this section of the state but
the practice has proved successful in
CdlllOTnld. MT. Jones demonstrated
that it can be used to great advan-
tage here and already some of the
other big farmers are planning on
adopting the practice in the future.
Without the caterpillar engine, the
practice would probably not prove an
economical one, for it would require
double the number of horses and
mules. With the caterpillar no ad-
ditional equipment was necessary, a
saving was made in labor wages mas
much as three men are necessary to
run three three-bottom plows with
animal power. whereas only two are
needed with the gasoline engine. and
a much better job of plowing was
done, according to those who have
seen the field.
1t is not improbable that the eN-
pertinent of Mr.. Jones will mean
much to the deve,opment of farming
methods in this country \ 24-hour
day means much to farmer when
the rains interfere with his work.
With plowing by gas light already
proved a success. it now remains for
some enterprising farmer to demon
strate that harvesting by artificial
light is just as practicable

FINDS STRONG SUPPORT
FOR THE UNIVERSITY

Eric w. Allen. professor of jour
nalism at the university of Oregon,
has been here today while in eastern
oregon during the Easter vacation.
He arrived this afternoon from Ba-
ker. While out over the state in the
interests of his department and not
upon political mission, Prof. Allen
declares he has found not a single
uewspaperman in the state who up
holds the attempt to block the uni
versity appropriation under the ref
erendum. The general feeling he
says is that there is an excellent op-
portunity to keep both the university
and the agricultural college out Of
politics 1t is the professors belief
that if the appropriation is referred
the university will be upheld at the
election He thinks it significant that
the press and ther influences through
out the state are rallying strongly in
defence of the school.

by the grand jury for bribery in con-
nection with alleged efforts to secure
the release of Harry X. Thaw from
the Matteawan state hospital for the
criminal insane. The indictment is
a sequel to the investigation institut-
ed by Governor Sulzer into an alleg-
ed conspiracy in behalf of Thaw.
The charges in the true bill were
based largely, it is understood upon
testimony by DR.. John w. Russell,
former superintendent of Matteawan,
who said that Anhut offered him a
bribe of $4,000 to say Thaw was not
insane. Russell in appearing before
the grand jury waived immunity.

TELEPHONE WAR
MAY BE ENDED

There are indications that peace
has been declared between the rival
telephone companies operating in and
cable adjustment of differences will
shortly be reached if such an agree
ment is not already in force.
Today the managers of the two diff
ferent lines. the Pilot Rock company
and the Independent company, were
both in this city. They have been out
appraising the lines of each company
and counted the poles on the road
into Pendleton. From here they are
going into the Butter creek country.
Meanwhile a connection has been
made between the lines of the two
companies at Pilot Rock so that the
patrons on the Independent COM
pany's line may now get service
through the Pilot Rock company's
connection in Pendleton.
1t will he remembered that a short
time since the Independent Telephone
company of Pilot Rock applied for a
franchise to extend a line into Pen
dleton and that the franchise was
granted. What effect that action by
the council ha- had is a matter of
conjecture. 1t is possible the fran
Chise right ma have assisted the
new company obtaining what was

from the Pilot Rock company. on
the other han, t is stated that the

line must pay long distance when they
communicate with Pendeton and to
such charges they made strenuous OBJ
lection in the past.
The contract between the Pilot
Rock company and the Pacific States
company whereby a connection is
made here was recently extended and
will hold for three or five years.

new CONCEPTION OF
AGE OF INNOCENCE

Ideas and ideals in art change Just
as they do in dress fashions. the
drama and everything else. proof of
which statement can be found specif-
ically at one of the local book stores
where picture was received this
morning as the result of an order for
one of the masterpieces of old. 1t
proved to be a substitution based up
on the modern conception of the title
by which the old masterpiece Is
known TO the art loving world
It was back in the eighteenth CEN
ture that Sir Joshua Reynolds, cele-
brated English artist, decided to put
on canvas his conception of "the age
of innocence and he painted a pic
ture to which he gave that name. The
original found a place in the Nation
al Art Gallery but through reproduc-
ton the painting became famous all
over the world. Reynolds picture is
one of girlhood, young girlhood. half
timid and wholly demure.
His painting has become so popu-
lar that the demand for copies for
adornment of private homes has been
prOdigious The other day a well
known lady of the city ordered a copy
through a local book store and the
order was duly sent in to a San Fran
cisco art company This morning a
package came from the company and
upon being opened there was the pic
ture, but it was not a INSTALLATION of
the Reynolds idea. Instead of show
ing little maid with folded hands,
it presented in water colors a little
boy and girl executing turkey trot,
bunny hug or some other form of the
rag dance which modern society has
evolved. Beneath it was the signifi-
cant title "Everyhody's Doin' It." but
the art company employe evidently
considered that it filled the bill as a
portrayal of the age of innocence al
