EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1914. Princeton. Thla photograph of her was taken by Commodore Frank S. Hastings, her guardian, wo Is one of the executors of her father's estate. few years ago the government built! a bridge at Cayuse and shortly after wards the road was made puMic. The need for bridges both at Thorn Hollow and Mission Is much felt, par ticularly In the grain-hauling season and it Is the devout wish of every farmer on the reservation to have the! bridges built by next full. The Thorn Hollow road Is used, too, by the trav. el to Bingham Springs. In the win ter time the lnck of a bridge at Mis' slon makes It very Inconvenient for residents of the reservation desiring to get to the agency. The only way of crossing the river now la by ford and this becomes dangerous when the water Is high, thus necessitating drlv. Ing clear to Pendleton to cross the river. In the fall, the farmers have been put to the trouble and expense of building temporary bridge. The government sent an engineer here last year to make surveys at Thorn Hollow and now the same en gineer Is here to make a survey at Mission. This Is taken as a very hopeful Indication by farmers on the reservation. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS T3 INITIATE A LARGE CLASS LOCAL ORGANIZATION PUVNNING FOR BIG . GATHERING NEXT SUNDAY.

Early today It waa stated that the condition of the kalsed waa satisfac tory but when It became known that he Is suffering from pneumonia, much anxiety waa felt for his welfare. The illness Is attributed to exposure en dured during his visits to the fighting lines. The kaiser had been almost con stantly with his troopa either at the eastern or western front since the war began. Some time ago it waa said that he was Buffering from a cold due to exposure In the water filled trenches of hla men. After the first announcement, however, there was no further reference to the mat ter and It was supposed he had recov ered. Most of the kaiser's traveling along the fighting line has been by automo bile and a staff physician has accom panied him upon every trip. BSMaMIMaajkal aaaar LONDON, Dec. 9.
