PARIS, April . Captured trench
ea so filled with bodies of mangled
Germans that the French were unable
to occupy them and woods filled with
dead and dying are described In of
flclal dispatches telling of the terrible
fighting about Suint Mlhiel. So tu
rlous has the battle raged that
neither side has time to gather the
wounded or bury the dead. Along
the slopes and In the valleys, pllea ol
bodies were declared to be actually
hampering operations. Advance were
made over ground littered with dead,
maimed and dying. The havoc
wrought by the French artillery was
evident In every German trench the
French reached.
A communique from the war office
threw no light upon the general pro
gress of the offensive In the great
battle In that region. Some progress
waa reported at Eparges, where six
machine guns and two mortars were
captured. There was no Information
to Indicate the offensive was ap
proaching an end. Despite the tre
mendous losses on both sides the '
conflict was renewed today with the
utmost ferocity at nil points.
BERLIN, April 9. Despite enor-
mo us losses, the french are now at
tacking the German positions about
Saint Mlhiel with "increased fierce
ness" said a war office statement
At every point the German lines are
being maintained and as a result of
strong counter attacks the French
'are being driven slowly southward
along a line running from Saint Ml
hiel to Pont-a-Mousson, It was declared.
When the bids for the construction
of the new natatorlum at Round-up
lark were opened yesterday after
noon, It was found that the lowest
bid or combination of bids would not
, permit of the work being done ac
cording to the present plan and
specification with the amount of
money on hand. Therefore a Joint,
meeting of the special Commercial
club committee and the city council
will be held this evening to determine
whether or not the plan will be re
wseo .ana tne expense reduced or
whether an efforv will be made to
raise the balance or money necea
aary.
The lowest bid for the natatorlum
complete was 18.948, which Is 1948
more than the amount raised for the
work. The committee in making Its
plans relied upon the estimate of the
engineer that the work could be done
well within the sum raised and Is
thus presented with a new problem.
They would very much like to build
the natatorlum according to the
plans drawn but do not wish to go
contrary to public sentiment. They
feel that they could probably raise
tho additional money but do not want
to ask for It if the majority of the
subscribers feel that the natatorlum
for a
a designed la too complete
city the size of Pendleton.
Five bids for the natatorlum com
plete, including concrete work, car
yiuuiuing, painting and ev
erything except excavating, which
has already been done, were receiv
ed. So far as a rather cursory Inves
tigation of the bids haa revealed, L.
Momerasirelll of this city ha the
lowest bid, his figures being 18,948.
James Upton of this city was second
with a bid of 1946". The other bids
on the completed natatorium were
as follows: E. E. Angel, J10.1U;
Louis J. Upp, (10,534 and E. E. Har
lowe, (12,500.
On the carpentry alone the follow
ing were the blds Angel, J3.397.50,
Upp, $4 044 and C. H. Belts, 14,202.

Ing bids was J775 put In by Beddow
& Miller and the lowest bid on the
concrete work alone was by the
Mnith Construction Co., by E. C.
Day for 14780. The total for the low
bids on the concrete work, carpentry
and plumbing separate Is still Jo. 30
higher than the total bid of Monter

ne will secure the contract If the

Further details as to the arrange

by the urrlvul of Jack Miller, travel
ing passenger agent for the O.-W. R.

According to Mr. Miller, It is the
Intention of the rullroad company to
run a steam train instead of the mo
tor car from Pendleton to Umatilla
en the evening of May 4. This train
leaves here at 6:30. So those mak
ing the trip may eat dinner before
leaving if they desire.
If a sufficient number of people
desire It a special train will be run
from Umatilla back to Pendleton the
night of May 4. If there is not suf
ficient putronage to justify the ex
tra train those desiring to return
home from Umatilla may do so on
the midnight train.
The steamer Is scheduled to leave
Umatilla at 5:30 on the morning of
May 5. Local people who wish to
make the trip but do not wish to
spend the night at Umatilla may take
train No. 19 westbound which leaves
her nt 3:25 a. m. This train will
get them to Umatilla in time to con

Just skimming an eye over the ar

observation at the park during prac

Peterson will work behind the bat

direct the Infield work of the young

there is nothing lacking. McGarrigle,

Compensation Matter of Course.
In view of this stipulation, the note
says, of course the American owners
must be compensated for their loss.
It is pointed out, however, that the
case of necessity must go Into a priae

formally established.
The German position is that th
Frye's cargo of wheat was contraband
because it was consigned "for orders"
to Queenstown. which is declared t
be a fortified point of Great Britain.
No notice is taken of the fact that
since the wheat was sold en route to
Iritish citizens, the United State
