Baldwin Locomotive Works proposition
to construct hulkheads and pier In front

ously opposed by residents OF Essington
and members OF various yacht clubs, II
IS derlarod that the pier will prevent The

Arguments pro and con will be heard
by the Commissioners OF Navigation in
the Roprse building Wednesday. Ac-
eording 70 the laws Of the State. permits
sion for the construction OF the pier and
buIkheads must be obtained from the
commissioners EsslnBtonians will urge
vigorously the refusal Of the permit.
In discussing the protest OF Essington
tooay Sydiiey Fisher, who lives there.
trustee OF the Cornthlan Yacht Club
and u channel expert said:
we don't like 10 stand In the way
Of the wheels Of progress and we are
not opposed to Raldwih's constructing a
pier, but We do oppose the line OF tho
present bWlkhead which pushes the pier
entirely too far into navigable stream
II Will be ruinous 10 the yacht clubs
and the people OF Essington. The closing
up Of the channel back OF Tlnicum
leland, which will eventually occur II
the pier f. built along present lines, will
be an outrage,
There are a thousand persons living
on that channel and harbor owning

three ship and boat building yards, one
large and two small ones, There are i'm
p0rtant recreation resorts on the har-

The strong offensive begun by the Aus

has resulted in the transfer Of large
bodies OF italian troops to strengthen the

the Tsonzo front.
The heights fanklng Col di Lana are
S0s5 feet high. The italian positions
along the crest of the mountains we're
bombarded by the Austrlans with heavy
mortars.
on tho lower Isonzo front, near the Adrl-
attic littoral, hard storms have intertered
with the operations. Several light attacks
were delivered by Austrians at night
amidst the crash of thunder and the glare
of lightning.
The Austrian defenses at Gorilla and
Tolmino have proved much stronger than
was anticipated. Despite the long sus-
tanned 'bombardment and the strong at
tacks against the outer positions by in
fantry the two Austrian strongholds are
still holding out.
The Official statement issued by the War
Office was as follows:
I'm Cadore, owing to the nearness of
the trenches, there were small sporadic
attacks and counter-attacks on the night
Of August IL. The enemy advanced to
our Col di Lana positions after a bonn
bardment, but we're Tepused We then
dislodged the enemy from the western
