Captain Davenny talked for more
than an hour, and every minute of his
talk was instructive, entertaining, and
thoroughly enjoyable. By comparative
figures he showed clearly the value of
open waterways wherever they may be

that all interests are gamers and none
lOsers.'

CHEAP LAND LIST
GROWING STEADILY

According to statement of Fred S.
Bynon, secretary of the Willamette
Valley Exposition association, which
organization is collecting the exhibits
by which Marion county will be repre-
sented at the Panama-Pacific exposi,
tion, the county will have some exhi-
bits of canned fruit, vegetables and
hops that will be second to none. Mrs.
Sam Foster, who has taken prizes re.
peatedly for the excellence of her can.
ned fruits, is canning the material as
it is received and already the exhibit
shows up fine.
Secretary Bynon is working hard to
get the finest and best fruits, vege-
tables and hops together that was ever
placed on exhibition. Those three
items are what Marion county has
pledged itself to furnish. Other coun-
ties of the valley will furnish wool
grains, grasses, dairy products, etc.
Mr.. Bynon states that any person hav-
ing unusually attractive fruit or veg
etables on hand should Immediately get
in touch with him, as he is after the
best the country can produce.
Bynon, with a laconic smile, remark
ed that he had not "canned" many
hops yet. He will preserve this crop
in alcohol.
Over 10000 acres of cheap lands
have been listed already by the promo
tion department of the Salem CONNER,
cial club, and every day brings more
letters giving acreage to be listed. The
movement that has been started to list
the cheap lands for the benefit of i'm.
migrants is meeting with favor, as
those who are looking for places ap.
preciate what is being done and those
who have the lands to sell are glad of
the cooperation.
1t is the plan of the department in
order to find as much of this ocean
land as possible to go over the assess.
ment rolls of the county assessor and
secure names, addresses, quantity OF
land, and the value at which it is held
Then letters will be written to the
owners explaining the scheme of listing
and endeavor to get them to list with
the club. Large acreages are found in
this manner that otherwise would not
be known.

/ Rome, Aug. 19.-Pope Plus X. died
today. The pope lapsed into uncon-
seriousness at noon, just after the last
sacrament had been administered to
him.
The physicians administered oxygen
to keep him alive until the arrival at
his bedside of the officials which the
church rites require to be at the pom
tiff's bedside at the end.
AT l:30 p. m. the doctors said the
patient s condition was desperate. His
fever increased and he was very weak.
The physicians could do nothing, and
the sufferer sank steadily until the
moment of his death.
Until the moment of his DEATH"
as soon as it was realized how hopeless
his condition was, orders had been Civ
en- that the blessed sacrament be ex-
posed, and rush cables were sent to
Catholic dignitaries directing prayers
for the supreme pontiff.
His sister, Maria, to whom he was
devotedly attached and who has lived
with him or near to him for the past
20 years to attend his wants, was with
him at the end.
Though in failing health for long
time, his case has been considered SER
iOus for but a few days.
Yesterday, however, Doctors Amici
and Marchiafava admitted his condi-
tion was grave. Early today it was
said he was threatened with pneumonia.
How imminent was his danger was not
realized even then, until the actual an
nouncement of his death was made.
His Holiness was described as afflict-
ed with bronchial catarrh and gout
when first taken ill.
1t was recognized by his doctors.
however, that mental perturbation over
the European war had more to do with
his breakdown than his physical all
ments, though grave as they were. He
died practically of broken heart as
result of the conflict.
He tainted when told that hostilf-
ties actually had begun. One of his
last acts before it was realized how
close he was to death was to issue the
following exhortation to the world:
AT this moment, when nearly the
whole OF Europe is being dragged into
the vortex of a most terrible war, with
its present dangers and miseries and
the consequences to follow, the very
thought of which must strike everyone
with grief and horror, we, whose care
is the life and welfare of so many citi-
zens and peoples, cannot but be deeply
moved and our heart wrung with the
bitterest sorrow.
s. And in the midst of this universal
confusion and peril, we feel and know
that both fatherly love and apostolic
ministry demand of us that we should
with all earnestness turn the thoughts
Of Christendom thither, whence comes
the help, to Christ, the Prince of Peace
and the most powerful mediator be-
tween God and man.
"We charge, therefore, the Catholics
of the whole world to approach the
throne Of grace and mercy, each and
all of them, and more especially the
clergy, whose duty Furthermore it will
be to make in every parish, as their
bishops shall direct, public supplica-
tions so that the merciful God may,

of his children and speedily remoe the
evil causes of war, giving to them who
rule to think the thoughts of peace and
