has been in progress since Monday
along the whole Franco British and
German lines, north and east Of Paris
it was stated in a message from the
Bordeaux war office this afternoon.
Nowhere, it was stated, are the
Germans on the offensive.
"The Germain body and the rear
guard have been reinforced" the war
office explained, 'and have been
fighting defensively along the entire
line north of Noyon, scissors and La
on to North Rheims and thence
through Vile Sur and Lourbe."
Drawing conclusions from the state
ment of the war office and from ad-
vices received from the front, General
Gallieni pronounced the situation as
excellent from the standpoint OF the
allies.

Some military experts here thought
the Germans would try to hold the
present positions until they had COM
pleted stronger defenses in the rear.
Sharp rear guard skirmishing was
in progress this morning along the
line.
Conditions are becoming increas-
ingly difficult for military operations
as the heavy rains are continuing and
the rivers are raging torrents. The
countryside is being converted into a
bog.
According to an assertion OF the
Petit Journal, the kaiser has decided
to go to east Prussia to personally in
vestigate the situation.
Military experts admitted here that
the German position along the river
is the strongest they have had since

Council Endorses
Crescent City HarbOr

The following resolution, presented
before the city council Tuesday night
by. Councilman ]. B. Ware, was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the report of Col.
Thomas H. Rees relating to the Cres-
cent City, California, harbor project
is before the Army Board of En-
gineers of the War Department of
the United States for consideration,
and
Whereas, the City of Ashland, Or
egon, has about the highest railroad
rates of any city in the United States
situated on a main line of railway,
and that our freight rates are based
on local rates from the seaports of
San Francisco, distant 432 miles
from Ashland, and Portland, distant
GAS miles from Ashland, and
Whereas, with Crescent City pro-
vided with good harbor facilities, and
with a railroad built from said city
TO Grants Pass, as projected, and for
which bonds have been voted, the
distance from Ashland to said sea-
port would be approximately 1870
miles, thus securing to citizens Of
Ashland and vicinity, particularly in
this Rogue River Valley and South
ern Oregon, most valuable and high.
~ necessary reductions in freight
rates, and
Whereas, II appears that the car
rying out of the said proposed
project at or near Crescent City will
| furnish the only practical basis for
! this city and valley securing in the
near future material and needed re-
duction in the very high rates now
prevailing.
Now, therefore, be It resolved by
| the Common Council of the City oi
! Ashland, Oregon, that we earnestly
urge upon the said Army Board Of
| Engineers that they give favorable
consideration TO the said report o.
Colonel Rees, and that the same bt
endorsed in the strongest terms tha
the facts may warrant, and
BE 1t further resolved, that W,
urgently request our senators ant
congressman, and other members o
congress desiring our welfare, to pro
mote this matter in every proper
manner possible, and
BE it further resolved, that copies
of this resolution be forwarded I,
the War Department, to members o
congress from Oregon and Califor
mia, and to the newspapers of ou
city and vicinity.

Charles l.. Hanson has been in
Ashland off and on for the past three
weeks in his official capacity OF
county sealer OF weights and meas
ures. His home is at Medford Since
assuming his duties last November
he has practically covered Medford,
Ashland, Central Point, Gold Hill,
Rogueriver and most of the ranches
in the county. He says most of the
merchants in the cities have up-to-
date scales, but he finds almost
total lack of standard measures. He
finds that most of the ranchers have
scales of one sort or another.
Telling the Fortune of Two Oregon
Cows.
You may be able to keep a dog
for a pet that doesn't pay for its liv-
ing, but you cannot afford to keep
COW that does not pay for her Hv-
ing"
This is what Prof. w. A. Barr,
United States and college extension
worker, tells girls and boys in his in
dustrial club circular, Just issued by
the extension division of the Oregon
Agricultural College. The first page
contains a picture of two cows, one
OF which, Prof. Barr tells us, re-
turned $30.S3 worth of milk and but
ter for $3S.34 worth of feed, and the
other returned $123.6S worth OF milk
and butter for $45.S3 worth of feed.
Record keeping" he says, gave us
these facts"
"A whole community can have rec
ords kept on their COWS by placing a
tester in the school house where the
milk can be tested for butter fat, af-
ter having been weighed by the boys
and girls at home. For five or six
contestants having the milk tested an
eight-bottle tester is large enough.
For ten or more students twelve
bottle tester will give better satisfac-
ton. The entire equipment will cost
from ten to eighteen dollars for each
school"
The circular contains directions for
making the test and list of the nec-d
essary equipment. The instructions
are accompanied by many illustra--
tions Of apparatus and methods, and
by detailed plans for carrying on the
work during school vacations. ID
