Interest has been again revived in
the proposition of a swimimng pool
for Athena, and funds for its con
struction sre being solicited through
popular subsciption, As the result of
a former canvass for money to con
struct the pool, there is now about
1400 in the fund and with tho present
solicitation an additional amount has
been Secured, and the indiftatinna ara
that the necessary amount will be
shortly raised.
'J he city council has given a Site for
the swimming pool at the City Park
and with the raising of the money a
considerable amount of the construc
tion work will be donated, including
the excavation.
Guy Cronk, special agent for the
Standard Oil Company, says he can
spate a couple of teams to do a por
tion of the work, mid others have sig
nified their readiness to' assist in tbe
work. It is probable that the pool
will he finished in time for use during
tbe latter part of the summer.
PAMBRUN BEEH HERO
PRONOUNCED TUBERCULAR
Five of the seven head of deer in
-the Pambrun herd are afflicted with
tuberculosis, and will have to be de
stroyed, reports Dr. Baddeley, veterin
arian. Mr. Pambrun has his deer in a park
at his farm home south of Athens'. He
started his herd several years ego, and
until this spring no evidence of dis
ease had appeared. The park with its
deer and trout pond has been the ad
miration of all passersby, and the
owner has taken considerable pains in
building up the herd. Two members
of tbe deer family show no symptoms
of tubercular affection. They have
been quartered in a separate enclosure
from the other five. Mr. Pambrun first
got his start of blacktail or mule deer
several vears ago. and later two small
valley blacktails were sent him from
Astoria by Byron Hawks.
Returns from Lecture Tour.
itev. B. B. Burton arrived home
Wednesday morning aft-r a rather
strenuous tour as a member of the
EWeon-'Whlte Chautauqua comcany.
Mr. Burton's last dates were at Half
way, Union county, and Midvale, Ida
ho, making the jump from Sound
points. He describes Halfway as a
beautiful up-to-date little city, which
is reached after a 70-mile auto ride
over the desert and mountains, and it
was tbere he addressed one of tbe best
Chautauquas of his experience.
EXCELLENT PICTURES COME
TO THE STANDARD THEATRE
Pictures of suDerlative merit are
scheduled for the Standard Theatre for
tomorrow Saturday, Sunday, and next
Wednesday nights For tomorrow
night a big double production is afford
ed when Oeraldine Farrar appears in
"The Woman That Gad Forgot," and
Fattv Arbuckle will be seen in"Rough
House."
For her theme in "The Woman That
God Forgot," the authoress has taken
the story of an Indtan princess who
sells her country for the man she loves.
The whole story is .taken from a chap
ter in the early history of America,
telling of the Soanish conquest of
Montezuma and his Aztecs. Geraldine
Farrar is seen as Tezca, daughter of
M . m J 1 1 r j ii
iuuijiczuujh. vvauace item, wnu sup
ported Miss Farrar in "Joan, the Wo
man, "plays the lead for her also in
this De Mille spectacular production.
The picture comes in five reels,
which with tbe splendid Arbuckle com
edy, is sure to make the program one
of the best so far produced at the Stan
dard.
Sunday night Wallace Reid stars in
"The Firefly of France," said to be
one of Paramount'8 best pictures deal
ing with the intricate plottings of
German wa. spies. The usual Pathe
Weekly and a gooi one reel comedy
fills in for the evening's program.
On Wednesday night. July IB, the
Standard offers to its patrons for the
first time, tho great Nazimova in "Eye
for Bye. " In contracting for the se
ries of four Nazimova pictures, "Eye
for Eye," "Out of the Fog," "Revel
ation." and "Red Lantern," partic
ular attention was given to the opinion
of those who were fortunate in seeing
the great screen star in other theatres
the result being that their unanimous
verdict had more weight than the
claims of the distributing exchange.
"Eye for Eye" is the screen presenta
atioo of a girl of the desert, primitive
in morals and ideals, condemned to
death by torture because ahe loved a
Christian. The scenic effects of the
picture are marvelous-rin it you ap
preciate the blue of the Mediterranean
the mystery and blazing color of the
walled town of Tangiers. the magic
powers of the Carpet of Bagdad. You
are taken into the innermost secret
places of the Far East and the great
African Desert, when you follow
Nazimova, "the Star of a thousand
moods."

Disrate Between Italy and Aus
tria Over Art Collections.
Vienna. A new turn has been given
to the dispute between Italy .and Aus
tria over art collections by the stute
ment that former Emperor Charles bus
curried off to Switzerland tlie imperial
jewels, the whole of which are regard
ed In Austria as being his private
property, hut claims for which have
been filed by Italy, particularly the
Florentine diamond of 133 1-3 carats.
The Italian commissioner, Professor
D'Aneonn, has stated that this dia
mond formed part of the collection left
to the city of Florence under the will
of Anna Maria Medici, hut that it was
carried oft by the house of Austria in
1748 when Duque Leopold became em
peror of Austria.
He said the Austrian government
had been notified of Italian claims to
this Jewel months ago, and If It per
mitted Emperor Chnrles to carry It
away It would be necessary to obtain
possession of It again. It Is unknown
here whether the emperor has dispos
ed of the diamond while In Switzer
land In order to pay his living ex
penses. Professor D'Ancona has carefully
traced the history of this remarkable
stone which, legend relates, was lost
on the battlefield of Granson by
Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy,
six centuries ago.
It was picked up and believed to be
a piece of glass and sold for a smalt
sum. It found Its way to Switzerland,
where It was sold for 11,000 duenrg to
the duke of Milan, and brought to
Home In 1001 by Ferdinand Medici.
It has been on exhibition of late years
In the Hofhurg museum.
Professor D'Ancona pointed out to
the Associated Press correspondent
that the Austrlans cannot claim that
in surrendering this stone they would
be Injuring Vienna's art collection
since they were willing to part with it
to the former emperor who Is now n
private citizen and has left the country.

AND CROP CONDITIONS
Japanese Catholics Have Set Aside
February 5 as tho Holiest Oay
in Their Calendar.
Kitchen Management Left Nothing to
Be Desired, Except the Prosaic
Fact of Cooking,
Harvest operations will begin in i
this section in about two weeks, ac-l
cording to conservative estimates of
wheat raisers here. The fall sown !
grain promises an average yiell and
tho spring grain, without the assist-'
anee of rain, will by no means be a:
failure. Some fields in which red
chaff wheat was sown last fall, show
up poorly on account of having been
winter killed. In these fields tar weed
has been a destructive element
The barley yield will be light and I
hereabout the ripening stage is behind
that of wheat. On the foothill ranch- j
ei where barley is a stapie product, I
the prospects are but little better than '
thev were this time last year, when
many fields did not pay the expense of
harvesting except that the absence
of the aphid pest may be noted. How- 1
ever, a generous rain within the next
10 days would brighten prospects for
the yield of crops on tbe mountain
farms.
Condition of the potato crou on the
mountain ranches is reported normal,
and an average acreage has been de
voted to this crop. With a reasonable
assurance of a good price for potatoes
this fall, the upland rancher will be in
a position to even up to some extent
the shortage of his grain crop.
Judge (J. H. Bishop was in the city
Tuesday from Freewater.
The Catholics of Japan have set
aside February 5 as the festival of
the martyrs of Nippon. Tills day Is
their holiest day of the year. St.
Francis Xuvlcr Introduced Christianity
to Japan early In the sixteenth cen
tury, hut It hns not ninilt mud, nrn..
ress among the population of 70.000,000
people, who follow Shinto and Buddha.
There are about 115,000 Christians In
Japan, of whom 7,1,000 are Catholics
and 40.000 Protestant.
A number of Jesuit missionaries fol
lowed St. Francis to Hie east, and no
opposition to Christianity was encoun
tered until 40 years after the pioneer's
death. Then n rigid persecution was
begun and thousands of Christians
were murdered. All Christian rites
were forbidden. Japanese converts
banded together In a confraternity
mnrtyra, for the purpose of dying for
Christ. Many little children Joined the
organization. All, or as many ns were
caught, were put to death. Noblemen
as well ps the poor shared the same I
fan. Some were burled alive and left ,t
to die of starvation, while others were,
beheaded. The festival of Nippon
commembrntes these martyrs' deaths.
What a quiet old' world this would
be If nobody spoke escepi those who
knew what they were tnlklng about.
