Johns was a continuous resident of Bak.
er City for twenty-fouI years, during
which time he served four terms as
mayor and eighteen consecutive years
as school director.
As mayor he gave the city an honest,
efficient administration, and its finan-
cial affairs were conducted on a close,
safe, economical basis and at the very
lowest expense to the taxpayers.
As school director, he always worked
for the best of results and for economy
in administration, without impairing
the high standard of the Baker City
schools
In our judgment, as governor, he
could and woul do the same things for
the state.

try of St. Patrick's birth, he
belongs to the Irish and no one else,
for all his good works were accom-
plished among them, and all his tradi-
tons are associated with them. He
loved Ireland. and Ireland loved him
and still adores everything connected
with his name. He has done more for
the spiritual upllft Of the country than
any other one who has ministered spir-
itually to it. and. while there may be
many myths and legends associated
with him in which he had no part, yet
they go to add to the romance and
beauty Of his character and charm and
veneration to his name.
St. Patrick was born about the year
372. When he was sixteen years Of
age he was stolen by pirates. who sold
him into slavery in Ireland, where his
master employed him as a swineherd

Advancement In the Church.
Having already passed seven years
in Ireland. where he had become per-
fectly familiar with its language, its
manners. habits and customs. he was,
Of course, well qualified to become a
sattart or theologian abroad. which he
did and was ordained deacon, priest
and bishop, and then once more, by the
authority Of the pope, he returned to
Ireland to preach the gospel to the
people he had come to love so WELL
A popular legend relates that the
saint and his followers found them
selves one cold morning on a mountain
without fire to cook their breakfast
or warm their frozen limbs. On heed

them to collect pile Of ice and snow

Novel Features In LIfeboat.

An unsinkable sailing iifeboat,
which Is fitted with en- auxiliary mo.
tor, is described in Popular Mechanics.
The craft is built with rounded bot
tom and broad beam, quite similar to
the lines of a dinghy, while its top Is
decked. Two leaved doors In the
deck are opened when the boat Is
right-side up, Its occupants sitting In
the hold. When a wave strikes the
craft and capsizes 1t, the doors are
automatically closed The passengers
are then within the craft. An aper.
ture in one of the sides furnishes them
with air, while 1t is also possible for
them to open one of the deck doors
on the up side. In this way they can
loosen the mast and by throwing their
weight to one gunwale, right the craft
again.

BOTH SIDES ARE
CLAIMING VICTORY
ADMIT THAT FIERCE BATTLE IS
IN PROGRESS, BUT DIFFER
AS TO RESULTS.
French Claim to Have Gained Foot
hold In First Line OF German
Trenches, While Teutons Claim
to Have Made Advances.

Both German and French offcia.
statements clearly show that opera
tions of great severity are in progress,
but they differ with regard to the re.
suits achieved. The French claim adr
vances all along the line, the recap
ture by the British troops OF trenches
previously lost, and the repulse oi
German attacks aimed at the retak'
ing of trenches which have fallen to
the allies during the past day or two.
To the south OF Noyon, also, the
French claim d have gained foot
hold In the first line of the German
trenches. No mention Is made by the
French of any repulse of the allied
forces.
The German official statement tells
OF the dislodgement In the neighbor
hood of the canal OF La Bassee OF the
Anglo-lndian troops and the capture
of their trenches after infiicting heavy
losses, and taking prisoner. To the
northeast of Chalons, in the neighbor
hood OF Souain, also, the Germans
claim to have repulsed fierce attach
by the French, who left many pris
oners in their hands and large mum
ber of dead in front of their positions
While all the world Is awaiting the
outcome OF the battle in Poland ant
Galicia, few details are being made
public, probably because no definite
decisions have been reached. Tht
continuance OF the German operations
In Poland is referred to In the most
recent Berlin bulletin, but the relative
position of the opposing forces Is mo-
mentioned
The head of the general staff OF the
Russian army issues a statement from
Petrograd, however, warning the
Russian public against ''the Malevo
lent reports during the past few dayi
concerning the condition and strate
gic positions of the Russian army"
The fact that the Russian armies
have adopted a narrower front, 1t h
explained by this official, was the re
suit of a decision reached after full
consideration by the military author
tiles In view of the concentration In
front of the Russians OF considerable
German forces.
