J. G. Timhorman of Chester, Va tells

There is a loss of - per cent of the entire

A TRIP TO TILLAMooK

Just twenty years ago moved
to Tillamook. There was just
on e cheese factory and one
creamery in the county at that
time. The roads we're no better
than they are around Siletz bay.
The people were hospitable and
pleasant. Some had to haul
their milk eight or ten miles,
but there was no complaint. 4
year later / moved to Lincoln
county, on Siletz bay.

the 18th of September, this year,
and / found the people the same

and wrinkles showed that time

looked for some familiar place
but could find none except the
graveyard, which was much
fuller than II years ago. The
houses and barns were torn
'own and large beautiful ones
built in their place. The timber
and brush was all cut down and
grass was growing instead.
The roads are well dressed and
far into the country they are
paved with cement. Cheese
factories of enormous size, 400
by 500 feet, turning out tons of
good cheese daily. Dogs on a
dairy farm are things of the
past. The COW is treated like
a lady, no harsh word is spoken
for fear it will offend her. The
farmers motto is, Let the COW
lick you, rather than you lick
the cow" There is more
money in it.
The land is so high that the
rising generation is looking for
cheaper land of the same quail
ity. On Siletz Bay we have it.
| talked and planned with them
and they will bring a colony and
settle up our rich brush land
If we will make an effort to
give them room at reasonable
prices, and a suitable place for
a factory on deep water, and
where the milk of at least two
to five hundred COWS can be
reached. figured we can sell
one-half our land far a very low
figure and when this industry
comes in we can get as much
for what we have left as we now
ask for all of it,
The question is, win we grasp
this industry now, or let it slip?

THOU SHALT NOT KILL

Last Sunday people in Toledo and
other less important places In the U.
5. prayed for peace. They are dust
now opposed to war. Preachers
quoted the above commandment fer.
verently Do they believe Il? Let
US see. So far as ! know, everyone
OF the eight or more countries now
fighting in Europe claims to be n
Christian country and the rulers claim
to be Christians. Since we claimed
to be country we have had scores
OF big and little wars, ali unnecessary.
our school histories and readers are
hiled with wars and praises Of war
and its heroes. We call that patriot
ism. Thou Shalt Not Kill. Do we
really believe that? II so, you will
vote In November to abolish capital
punishment. Two years ago we near
ly refused to allow legal murder.
Now ! feel sure the men would vote
1t out. But will the majority of
women, who are more religious than
men?
Follow Your Leader
l have always thought Il a Door ex.
cuse to vote for or against something
because So-and-So voted that way.
That causes much Of the vicious poll
tics In our legislatures. But I must
confess look with suspicion on a
law the Oregonian supports, and with
a little prejudice In favor OF what Il
opposes. Our state pamphlet contains
a good example Of what mean. Geo.
G. Mason, manager OF the non.partisan
League, writes for and against no less
than nine OF the proposed laws. I
think he is wrong and AGAINST the
working class every time, tho admit
we are not yet civilized enough TO
pass and uphold yet the Universal
Eight Hour Amendment. George is
good mason for capitalist walls, but
poor leader for workmen TO follow.
Salaries Of Lawmakers
favor good wages for good work.
Our last legislature, the worst one in
some ways we ever had, tells us 90
raise the pay OF the assemblymen to
20 per day for go days, from SO n day
for 40 days. Now there are thous.
ands OF us Socialists who will agree.
II elected to the legislature at 50 per
day, to pass less. than n third of Tho
laws passed by The last Republican.
Steam Roller legislature, and better
laws at half o. the cost in taxes.
Bondage
NO state, county, city or person
should buy what they cannot pay for
without bonding future generations.
Government bonds, down TO Lincoln
county bonds, and Toledo bonds are
wrong and wasteful. pay for what

Thursday afternoon the unexpected
happened that brought a smile even
10 the face Of the court. The state S
witness who claimed to have sold
arsenic to Mrs. Suhl, was undergoing
a sharp cross examination at the
hands of Mr.. Farabaugh, for the de-
Tense. The credibility of the testi-
mOny was at stake. The witness said
that he had talked part of the time in
German to Mrs. Suhl Mr.. Farabaugh
understands German and so he sought
to test the witness in his use of the
language.
1t was here that the unexpected
happened in the form of a bit Of COM
edy. The court stenographer of this
particular court is an artist When
anything is said he has it-has it in
black and white and not 10 be con-
trOverted. But when this anything is
said he wants it said in .
Well, it so happened that at the
particular time under consideration
this reporter fell back in disorder for
through the space there came hurt
ling at him a solid array Of German
words-German, mark you, and our
court reporter is an Englishman, thor

RUSSIANS BEGIN
BOMBARDMENT Of
CRAC0W FORTRESS
No Official Announcement Is
sued But News Leaks Out in
Military Circles - Germans
in Mastery Effort.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 4. Although
no official statement was issued today
it leaked out in military circles that
the Russians have begun the bonn
bardment of Cracow, the Austrian
fortress in Galicia. From the heights
of Wieliczska, eight miles from the
city, the Russians are pouring a rain
OF shells upon the outer forts of era
COW with their long range siege guns.
The Russians are rushing all avail
able troops in the attempt to capture
Cracow. The taking of this fortress
would prove of unestimable advantage
to the Russians 1t would open the
roads to Vienna, Breslin and Berlin.
The battle of Lodz was a mastery
effort of Marshal Won Hindenburg to
stop the Russian advance toward Cra-
COW. But the Russians have now
brought up so many men before Lodz
that they have been able to start
turning movement against the German
flank north of Lodz. This, unless
stopped, must compel the entire Ger
man battle line TO fall back again.
Advance on NiStula.
Reinforced with troops brought
from Belgium and France, the Ger
man army west of Lowicz and south
west of Petrokow are again attempt
ing to advance toward the Vistula.
The Russians have retaken StrykOw
and Lowicz. They now hold every
thing from this point Of the LOdz
Warsaw railroad to the Vistula river
west of Plock and the turning move
ment against the German front pro-
ceeds.
The Germans in massed columns
made furious onslaughts for the pos
session of the railroad junction and
the river near GOmbin but the Rus
sian movement slowly proceeded.
Russia, on top of these military
movements has called out another l.
200, 600 reserves. 1t is said that Rus
sia could now send troops to aid the
allies in France, if it were possible to
get them there either by rail or by
sea, but il is not possible.

MISSION WORKERS ARE

Which Fills a Real Need.

DR.. II. A. Thomson and others ac-
lively interested in the promotion of
the City mission which is soon to be

vinced that their project has at least
a little more than human support.
They received a pleasant surprise
which in its timeliness looked very
much like Divine intervention" in
their favor.
1t happened this way. At the very
moment when DR.: Thomson was ap-
pointing a committee TO purchase a
piano for the new mission room some
cat that time unknown benefactor
was irving TO get DR.. Thomson on the
telephone at the latter's home. on the
following morning the call was repeat
ed and when DR.. Thomson answered
the phone a voice said:

Then came a letter transferring the

English Court Stenograpler
Repulsed by a Terrific Assault
of Purely German Verbiaqe

During the course Of such trial
as that of Mrs. Augusta Suhl, which
is now attracting large crowds to the
circuit court, the possibilities of en-
tertainment either in dramatic or COM
edy form are always present. Morbid
curiosity attracts the crowd but it is
the element of expectancy that holds
it, The atmosphere of the court
room during the course of g. fight for
life is surcharged with tenseness
and uncertainty and it is this that
keeps even the court room hanger on
attentive and on the qui vive. .
The trial of Mrs. Suhl has thus far
been devoid of startling incidents and
yet during all the hours of its course
men and women have stood listening
and watching for the hoped-fOr uneX
pected. Only on three or four occa-
sions has there been any audible note
from the crowd. These have been
when laughter has broken out sud
denly and then as suddenly ceased.
Laughter in a court room is ordinarily
out of place and the crowd feels that.
1t takes but the first ripples of laugh
ter to bring the court officers to at
tention and to call forth the sharp
little taps that mean "order!"

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The Germans are
continuing their bombardment of the
allies lines in West Flanders. Further
German infantry attacks are being
launched against the Anglo-French
positions east OF Ypres.
This information was contained in
rhe official announcement by the
French war office this afternoon. A
lull has fallen on the greater part of
the center.
Germans Shift Attack.
The Germans have shifted the
weight OF their pressure in West
Flanders to the region between Ypres
and DixmUde and the allies lines at
that point are being subjected to a
continuous bOmbardment. Evidence
that the allies have been hard press
ed in that quarter is found in official
dispatches to the war office to the ef-
feet that more dykes have been cut
in order to extend the floods south of
Dixmude.
The trenches north Of Ypres which
were originally held by the British
have been strengthened with fresh
French troops and the arrival OF
more heavy artillery which is needed
10 combat the concentrated big gun
fire OF the invaders.
So urgent was the call for fresh
NTOOpS. anu HttNE suns IN lIlil re-
gion that the railway line became
blocked. Ii is reported from ST
Omer that some of the wounded who
fell in the fighting early in the week
are still at the front. The railway
lines congestion prevented the re-
moval of many of the wounded from
the firing line.
The activity on the eastern end of
the 300-mile battle line which was
mentioned in these dispatches several
days ago, continues with good results
for the French. The French army
Of the Moselle has occupied three or
four strategic positions on the east
ern bank Of that river within the past
As hours. but nothing further IS
heard OF the operations of that sec

is trying to establish contact with the

from many points along the Aisne,
