flan Francisco, Sept. 8. It was an
nounced early this morning by Man
ager Nolan, representing Nelson, that
the side bet of $10,000 had been de
clared offind that the purse will be
split on a 80 and 40 per cent bnsls,
The announcement Is a great surprise
to the fans, as the articles called for a
130,000 purse, the winner to take alt.
Judging from the advance sale of
seats the loser's end will be a small
fortune. Willie Hrltt has admitted
Nolan told the truth. Each accuses
the other of being responsible for the
change In the articles. Dritt says he
In obliged to consent to the change or
there will be no fight.
Nolan says rather than disappoint
the public he consented to make the
change at Drill's earnest request.
Nolan departed for Nelson's camp
this morning without seeing Jeffries,
and still Insists a forfeit be deposited
Insuring a square deal on the part of
Jeffries; but he admitted he might ac
cept Jeffries after a conference.
Jeffrie Ilound to Referee.
Jeffries arrived last night from Los
Angeles. He said this morning, "I
never backed out of any proposition
yet and will not change this time.
There Is nothing left for me to do
but act as referee, and I'm going to
do so. The public and two princi
pals will get a square deal at my
hands. This afternoon will see both
Brltt and Nelson come fo an under
standing with them as to the rules un
der which they will fight."
Betters Are Slowing Down.
Despite the uncertainty created by
the squabble over referee, every train
coming to the city today brought Its
quota of fight fans. The arrivals from
(he east are greater than when Jef
fries and Corbett fought here. They
had started before Nolan Issued his
anti-Jeffries ultimatum and brought
their wnds with them, but when they
had been "wised up" to the situation
tbey changed their minds about bet
ting. As a result the poolrooms are
not being worked to death this morn
ing recording wagers, and the odds
remain unchanged at 10 to T, with
Britt. Throngs of visitors visited
both ramps.
Neither man did anything today
other thnn light work.
One of Nelson's early visitors was
Oeorge Slier, the veteran referee and
critic, who looked the Dane over and
pronounced him In perfect condition.
Nelson took a short Jog on the road
this morning, later doing light work
In the gymnasium. Brltt's program
was practically the same.
The fighters will be up early to
morrow morning and after a short
walk and rub down will start for the
city to weigh In. Neither will par
take of any food until that ceremony,
which takes place at 10 at Harry Cor
bett's, has been finished.
Nelson's figures are now about two
ounces under the stipulated 133, while
Erltt banks on being a full pound
under weight. Neither anticipates be
ing over a notch, as both are within
few ounces of It now.

CANNOT COLLECT RENTS.
Landlords Renting for Immoral Pur
pose Must Take Chances.
Seattle, Sept. 8. On the most de
cIhIvo terms, Judge Morris of the su
perior court yesterday refused the pe
tition of William Chappcllo for a new
trial In the case of Chappeile versus J.
J. Madlgan,
The case is an action to collect rents
on a contract held by Chappello where
by Madlgan agrees to pay an ex
tremely large amount of rent for the
use of one of Chappelle's buildings in
the restricted district for immoral pur
poses. The contract produced by Chappcllo
at the first trial was perfectly legal
In form but Judge Morris stated that
no count could be expecteo to enforce
a contract for rent paid on a building
that was used for immoral purposes.
Persons renting buildings for large
monthly sums and allowing them to
be used as houses of ill fame will be
compelled to take their own chances
In the matter of rent.

trloL
H. G. Newport, head of the con
tracting company that has been given
the work of constructing the ditches
for the Inland Irrigation company,
was here this forenoon having come
up on the evening train yesterday.
According to Mr. Newport, a force of
men and teams has been nt work on
the big undertaking for some time
past
At present there are about 60 or 70
horses and about 30 men engaged on
Twelve Mile Flat, where most of the
land that Is to be reclaimed is located.
A much larger force would now be
at work were It not for the possibility
that the private enterprise may be
abandoned and the government reser
voir scheme carried out. Negotiations
regarding the government project are
still being effwied on between the
land owners of that section and the
reclamation officials, but It Is not yet
known what the outcome will be.
Circular letters have been sent to
the property, owners by the depart
ment requesting ' the owners to sign
an Inclosed contract should they de
sire to have the government take up
the project, ollwever. it Is said that
there are many things regarding the
proposition that are not fully under
stood by the farmers, and as a result
some time Is lost In getting direst
answers from them. However, mat
ters are apparently progressing very
satisfactorily. H is now said that an
agreement will probably be reached
between J. F. McNaught, manager of
tile Maxwell ditch, and the officials,
something that was first regarded as
doubtful.
Ninety-five per cent of the owners
of land under the project are required
to "sign up" before the government
can tako hold of the enterprise.
Preparations are being made to
send the Interned Russian wnrshlp,
Lena, to sea from Vallejo, Cal. It
will be done after scraping and painting.

Very Little Sickness in Pen
dleton During the Summer
Now Drawing to a Close.
NOT A CASE OF CONTAGION
DURING MONTH OF AUGUST.
A Dull Town for the Physicians and'
Surgeons The Few Cases of Ty
phoid Developed Tills Tear Have
Been Light, Not a Death navlng
Been Caused by That Disease
Cholera Infantum and Heat Pros
tration Almost Unknown All of
Which Is a Tribute to a First-Class
Sewer System and the Best Water -Ever
Supplied.
In spite of the fact that the past
summer has been the hottest season
that Pendleton has experienced for
many years, there has been remarka- -bly
little sickness of any kind during
the past few months. According to -
the report of the city recorder for Aug
ust not a single case of contagious :
disease was reported during that
month. Also the testimony of the lo--cal
physicians Is all to the effect that
there has been little work for them
during the summer.
In speaking of the situation this
morning one prominent doctor de
clared that his practice showed much
less sickness this season than occur
red last year. "While I have haft
eight or 10 typhoid cases during the
season," said he, "none of them have
been of a serious nature excepting
one now on hand. Also, I am confi
dent that the same thing Is true with
the other physicians of Pendleton.
While there have probably been 100
cases of typhoid In all during the en
tire summer, that Is a small number -for
a place of this size, and nearly all '
of those that have occurred have been .
of a mild nature, not a single death
having occurred."
According to the same authority, .
there has also been a dearth of chol- -era
Infajitum cases during the sum- -mer.
While there are usually Innum
erable cases of that complaint dur
ing the hot season, such has not been
true the past summer, there having
been but one really serious case to the
knowledge of the doctor. Also, heat
prostrations have been few In spite of
the high temperatures that prevailed.
Few Surgical Cases.
Not only have cases of sickness been
few, but the same has been true of
the Burglcal work arising out of the
accidents that occur during the har
vest season. During harvest last year
It Is said the hospital was kept tilled
with men recovering from Injuries re
ceived in the harvest field. But this
year extremely few accidents have oc
curred. While this is doubtless the
result of chance, or else of greater
care being taken by workmen, the
fact that Pendleton now has a sewer
system which thoroughly covers prac
tically all of the city, is held to be
responsible for the falling off of ty
phoid as well as other forms of sum
mer aliments. While the system was
in operation last year also. It had been
established for so short a time that the
full benefit had not yet been felt
With the present sewer system and
the good water supply there is no rea
son why Pendleton should not enjoy
good health according to those whose
business it is to look after the bodily,
ills of its inhabitants.
Wtlllam Farley Missing:.
William Farley, the son of a.
wealthy sheepman of Richmond, Is
missing from his home and friends are
now searching the country for him.
If Is feared that he has met with foul -play
or an accident. The Farleys op
erate a large sheep ranch about 30
miles from Richland. The other eve
ning young Farley said that he was
going over to one of the neighbors
a short distance away, and expected
to be gone about three hours. He did
not return in the three hours nor three
days nnd his parents became alarmed
about him. Last evening a searching
party was organized to hunt for him
as it is feared that he has either met
