ROME, Aug. 19 The Pope died in
the Vatican this afternoon. He lapsed
into unconsciousness just before the
last sacrament was administered. The
physicians administered oxygen to
keep him alive until the arrival of the
officials which the church rites require
to be at the pontiff's bedside at the
end. At one-thirty p. m. the doctors
said that the patient's condition was
desperate, the fever increasing and
he was very weak.. .The sufferer sank
steadily until the moment of his death.
His sister Marie to whom he was de
votedly attached who had lived with
with or near him for the past twenty
years, was with him at the end. His
Holiness was reported as afflicted with
bronchial catarrah and gout, when
Ii rat taKen sick but later on he was
threatened with pneumonia. It was
recognized by the physicians, however,
that mental perturbation over the
European war had more to do with
his breakdown than physical ailments.
Grave as they were, he died practi
cally with a broken heart as a result
of the conflict. When he heard that
hostilities had actually begun he
fainted.
PARIS, Aug. 20 It was admitted
here that the Germans have occupied
the advanced position formerly occu
pied by the Belgians at Louvain. This
was done to save the city from de
struction by the German artillery
which was proving very affective. It
was not learned whether Brussels had

I NOTES FROM THE HERALD'S "LIVE WIRE"
CORRESPONDENT AT IE j
! I I
There was a time when a distur
bance in one part of the world had
little effect upon the rest of the uni
verse but that time has gone. Quick
means of communication and trans-
oortation have rendered conditions so
that a sudden change in the produc
tion or price of any commodity in any
:ountry is transmitted almost instant
y to every trade center of the world
where its influence is felt and its ef
ect upon the trade of the world ascer
tained.
The present war in Europe has
aised the price on nearly every arti
cle of general consumption in this
country. The first commodities af
ected were food stuff. Sugar was
j5.40 a hundred in Heppner before
Hostilities opened it is now $9.00.
Bacon has advanced from 25c to 40c
i pound. Lambs, sheep and mutton
ire $2.00 a hundred higher; hogs,
f2.50 and beef $1.00. In Chicago beef
.ias been from one to eight cents
aigher. Lard raised 4c a pound.
Cornmeal and rolled oats, which
lave a steady sale, have raised 5c on
.he small sacks. Syrup have shown
i 10 per cent raise and lemons cost
p'i.OO a box more. Paper sack and
trapping paper are no longer quoted
jy salesmen and the last quotations
.vere from 10 to 15 per cent higher.
Everything in the drug business
.ias felt the influence of the war.
cids have advanced fifty cent a
jound and all chemicals in the same
proportion. Aspirin, for example,
aisea irom 30c to 90c a pound.
Bob Hart says that soda supplies.
sspecially those which sugar enters
nto, have gone up. M. L. Case states
Lhat tin has advanced 30 per cent and
tinware has raised to cover the in
rease in the coBt of tin. Iron beds
ind all metal furniture is expected to
be higher when ordered from now on.
Frank Gilliam said that powder
went up $20.00 a ton with no notice
being given him. Steel of any de
scription has advanced and ammuni
tion of all kinds is not quoted at all.
Imported earthen ware, he also stated,
is higher.
Automobile casing which went up
20 per cent here were reduced last
Wednesday to their normal price, and
one trainload of Maxwell cars on the
docks of Vancouver were prounced
contraband of war, wwhich prevented
their shipment.
v lour has not raised in price in
Heppner. Oils and greases are the
same. Prepared breakfast foods re
main unchanged and canned goods,
with the exception of the fancy im
ported brands, have not advanced yet
but are expected to later. Shoes have
not been reported in the list of ar
ticles which cost more but leather
goods will undoubtedly take a boost
soon. Dry goods, particularily the
imported fabrics are aviating but will
go much higher. According to Mr.
Brown, of the Heppner Milling Com
pany, wool remains firm but the price
of barley and oats show but little
change. Wheat is about 82c and will
advance as the war continues.
The Federal Government has been
inquiring into the rise of prices but
has discovered no organized movement
which effected this and it seems to be
the natural result which follows such
a disturbance as the present war.
From all indications the conflict is
likely to continue some time and the
longer it progresses the higher all
commodities will go. Storekeepers
say that most people expect the war
to be over soon and are therefore not
buying more than they can consume
in a few days. In conclusion we might
say that the Herald remains at the
old prices one good Woodrow Wilson
dollar send it along.
However, we will try to fix it with the
girl so she will not go tj any elaborate
preparations, should we be unable to
get the other two subscribers. If
Andy has any friends in the com
munity, he certainly needs their help
now. There is no telling what effect I

INSTALLS NEW X-RAY
Dr. Allison has installed a new
Campbell X-Ray and High Frequency
Machine in his up-to-date office in the
Patterson Store. The machine is one
of the very latest mintages and was
secured mainly for the Flourcscope
and X-Ray features. It is now pos
sible for Heppner people to receive
the D'Arsonval treatment for arterio
schlcrosi, commonly called harden
ing of the arteries, and also for high
blood pressure. The Thermo-Faradic
and Sinusoidal treatment can like
wise be secured. There are many
small attachments, such as the dia
gnostic lamp and the cautery attach
ment. While in the office the Doctor
shewed us some photographs of the
human hand and the chest which he
has taken. In these the bones are
clearly outlined. To anyone who has
never seen an X-Kay machine with
