good work is accomplished proportion
ate to the amount of gray matter EN-
ployed and the industry exercised. A
business C is like an individual
in this respect. While it is essential
that there be maintained physical &C.
tivity, 1t is also imperative that some
body shall do the thinking, and the re-
sponsibility for success or failure rests
with the man who uses his head in

who carry his ideas into effect. Good

General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co. says: Progress in
trade conditions and the improvement,
as a whole, is Of gratifying proper
tons, but there is nothing in the com
mercial situation resembling the re
markable revival Of activity on the
stock exchange, with sales of over a
million shares a day. This speculative
movement, while having a somewhat
stimulating effect upon business senti.
ment, as perhaps ~discounting the flu
ture, has no counterpart in actual in.
dustrial and merchandising conditions
as they exist today. The cotton goods
markets are active and the mills are
well supplied with orders. Wooden
goods are strong. Foreign trade con.
tinues active in certain lines. The

perity.

"A draped with wide shadow lace in

GERMANS RUSH

many Arrive-canadians Get
Brunt of German Attacks.

London, April 25.-The German
rushes in Flanders and Woevre, where
they claim to have had considerable
success, are believed to be the fore
runners of another big effort to break
through the allied lines in the west.
For many days Belgium has been
sealed from the observation of neu.
trale while reenforcements from Ger
many were being moved to the south
to take part in the new offensive, that
they hope is to carry them to Calais,
and possibly break the resistance of
the allies.
Canadians Bear Attack.
The attack In Flanders, originally
leveled at the French, has been trans
ferred to the British lines held by the
Canadians, on the immediate right of
the French, and here for two days the,
men from the dominion have been en-
gagged in a deadly contest with the
Germans. The latter state in their
official report that they have made
further progress toward Ypres and
that the British counter attack has
been repulsed.
The French account, on the other
hand, declares that the allies counter
attacks continue with success and
that the British hold all their positions
and repeats the charge that the Ger
mans are using bombs containing as
phyxiating gases.
The Frankfurter Zeitung justifies
the S of these missiles on the ground
that the allies have done likewise.
Deadly Work Of British Mines.

"eye Witness" in describing the eff
feet of the explosions of the British
mines which preceded the recent at

strange shapes. Here it was torn into
huge craters, there large mounds of
fallen debris were to be seen.
"As the reports of the explosions
died away and while dense columns of
smoke and dust hung in the air our
men sprang from the trenches and
rushed r. the intervening space of
some 40 to go yards lying between our
line and the gaping craters before
them, the front covered by the attack
being only some $50 yards in length.

the local butter market this week,
with the increase in output of Wash.
down nearly to the low level of last
season, at 10000, while outside sup
plies are being eliminated by the in
creased offerings.
Eggs-Contrary to the usual devel
opment the market still holds easy,
but no changes in price are recorded
this week, the quotations being $3.50

Dressed Meats-The situation is
rather easier with the advent of grass
fed cattle. Beef is quoting at 11k a
12c and mutton is still holding firm at
13@14c with spring lamb ranging up
to 16c at the top. The pork situation
is inclined to firmness but no changes
in quotations are noted this week.
Cured Meats-There has been no
change in cured meats during the past
week, and the situation is holding easy

Wheat-The volume of business
passings is not large. There is a bet
ter undertone to the foreign demand,
with the clearing UP of supplies from
other export sources, but stocks are
becoming too low to operate upon a
comprehensive basis, while it is al
most impossible to engage tonnage

BODIES OF DROWNED BOYS
HAVE NOT BEEN FOUNl

Up to the time of going to press
the bodies Of Carl Downing, 23 years
old, and Virgil Kirby, Is years old,
who were drowned in the Animas riy-
er yesterday, have not been found.
The drowning occurred when four
persons, the two dead boys and L. j.
Kirby, father Of Que of them and
Merle Boyee attempted to cross the
river in a small overloaded boat that
began leaking badly in midstream.
The oecupons knowing they could not
get to shore in the boat got into
the water and clung to the boat en-
deavoring thereby TO safely reach the
shore, but the cold, rushing water
overeame them and two Of them had
to let 20. Mr.. Kirby's boy sank i'm
mediately and the other boy was swept
out Of sight.
Carl Downing is a member of the
local lodge of W. o. w.
Sheriff Fassbinder, Mayor Hood
and many others rushed to the scene
Coroner Ray Goodman remained there
all night returning by train today.
Watching parties are out all down
the river from the scene of the
drowning to the lower country.
Today dynamite is being used in ar
attempt to raise the bodies. 1t I,
rumored that once last evening on,
Of the bodies was seen for an in
stant. The river is very r1urlsy anc
turbulent and is carrying much debrii
dead timber. etc.
