no. The road through this fortress
is the best and most direct to reach
the Petrograd railroad at Wilma. Fur
ther northeast, between Wilkomir
and the region west Of Dunaburg, the
country is extremely difficult for an
advance. At the same time, Kovno
forms a menace to the right wing of
General Won Buelow's army.
From Koyno, in the direction Of
the mouth of the Niemen, If at all,
must come the Russian counter
stroke. While it would have fair
chance of temporarily, at least,
checking the German advance on the
principal Russian bread line" the
capture of the fortress on the other
hand would doom the campaign of a
great part of the Russian northern
armies.
II kovno should fail, Grodno, the
centre Of the Kovno-Brest-Ltovsk
front, the Brest-Ltorsk, would not
have to be forcibly taken by the Ger
man troops now pushing forward
from the Narew and Bobr region; it
would become void of it's strategic
value, and would have to be volun.
tarily abandoned.
A further Russian retreat would
now necessarily converge from all
roads on Minsk, from where the only
road of escape leads east toward
Smolensk and Moscow. With Wilma
and Dunaburg in their hands, the
Germans would, therefore, undoubt-
edly aim at the Minsk-Smolensk line.
Thus the campaign will continue to
be relentless struggle for the four
principle arteries Of the Russian
fighting machine. In which part they
can be intercepted is irrelevant. One
cut. be it effected at Bialystock, or
hundreds OF miles further northeast,
near Dunaburg. on one road, or it
may be accomplished at Wilkowiski,
or miles away at Minsk on the other,
will suffice to doom gsea: parts Of

CANAL BENEFIT GREAT
SAYS H. F. DAVIDSON

II. f. Davidson. who returned last
week from New York where he has
been spending the winter in the inter-
est of the North Pacific Fruit Distrbu-
tors, declares that the benefits of the
Panama canal to fruit growers are
very decided, and that as the volume
of fruit tonnage increases they will be-
come even greater
Naturally" he said, Hood River,
on account of the location near tide
water will benefit most. Since the
Panama canal service was inaugurated
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
have taken every foot of the available
space offered by the steamship COM
panies operating through the canal be-
tween New York and the Northwest.
So far we have not routed any fruit
throuh the canal except for export
trade. II does not cost us any more to
lighter the fruit from steamer to a
transatlantic liner than from one of
the railroad piers On all the apples
we have shipped by the Panama Canal
we have saving of $75 per car in
freight charges. When the volume of
the business becomes greater ! look for
a considerable decrease in the water
rates. And in future years the fruit
to be used by the trade in New York
City may very well expected to be
shipped by water.

ICE AGAIN TIES UP
THE COLUMBIA

Ice has a second time tied up boat
traffic on the Columbia this winter.
The locks at the Cascades are frozen
over, and the stream is filled with
floating ice. A jam at the mouth of
the neschutes on the upper Columbia is
reported.
''We are still operating our ferry
line, says Capt. Treiber. of the Un-
derwood- Hood River system. who was
in the city yesterday, "but If the Ice
continues to run and gets heavier, we
will have to lay off. .
Capt. Treiber reports that the Dalles
City has been having difficulty in max
ing her landings here. on account of
the low water. The passengers and
light freight have been transferred to
the Underwood ferry boat, and the
steamer lands heavy stuff at Ko-
berg's.
THE J. N. Teal attempted to come
up the river the first of the week, "
said Capt. Treiber. "but was unable to
make the rapids on account Of the
heavy east wind "

VAULT REMOVED FOR
CLARKE'S new STORE

To make room for C. N. Clarke's
new drug store in the corner. room of
the Smith building, the old vault, for
merly used by the First National bank,
has been torn out. The First National
bank removed from the present loca.
tion of the city recorders office to the
Smith building in November, 1904, the
structure having just been completed.
The bank removed to its own home in
1910. The quarters that will be occu-
pied by Mr.. Clarke were used by Ep-
ping Il Allen as a real estate estate
office, and later the Hydro o-Electric
office was there.
The old vault was an enormous
affair. Twenty loads of brick were
removed. The mortar was scraped
from one half of these and they are
suitable for building purposes.
The new quarters of the Clarke drug
store will be made one Of the most at.
tractive places of business in the city.
The floor will be lowered foot. and e
gallery will be placed in the rear Of the
room. A doorway in the rear OF the
storeroom will lead to Third street and
to the stairway leading to the second
story Offices of the Smith building. 10
addition to the storeroom itself space
has been secured for surplus stock and
supplies. The interior of the new store
will be finished in white enamel.
The changes and improvements at
the new store are being made by Strt n.

DAIRYMEN WILL
MEET SATURDAY
DISCUSSIONS WILL LAST ALL DAY
Creamery Report Will be Made, and Ad-
dresses Delivered by Prominent Ex.
pertS Interest Shown

One Of the largest and most inter-
ested crowds of the winter is expected
IN the city Saturday. when the all day
dairy meeting will be held. The gath
erlng will not only be attended by
stockholders and patrons Of the Hood
River creamery, who reside in all parts
of the valley. but scores of prospective
dairy men will be here TO gather infor-
nation touching on dairying as a side
line of the orchardists.
Among the most contented and pros
porous Of Hood River valley rauchers
at the present time are those who are
furnishing cream to the recently OF.
ganized creamery. The institution has
been making steady growth, and not
only are local receipts constantly
growing, but cream from outside points
is coming in. The management of the
creamery is especially pleased because
of the fact that the first of this week
20 gallons of cream were received from
Multnomah county. The parties fur.
nishlng this cream have promised
hereafter to send so gallons weekly TO
the local creamery.
Able and well informed speakers
have been secured for the Saturday
meeting. +. B. Fits, a dairy expert
of Corvallis, will touch on number of
subjects of interest TO the man already
in the business. F. w. Kehri, dairy
expert of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, who has been sta.
toned at the Hermiston experiment
station. will discuss topics of interest
TO the general farmer who keeps COW
or two.
An address that will in all probabil-
lty prove more interesting than any
other will be that OF q. NJ. McAllister,
special representative of the Portland
Union stOckyards. Mr.. McAllister,
who was here Monday with G. n.
Stanton and 4. +. Batten, will speak
on the subject of hogs in connection
with the dairy.

First, told him the state land should
not be sold in big blocks. 1t was all
right TO dispose of the timber, but the
land itself, should be sold to the actual
settler, who should be given long per.
iod for payment. And the second mis-.
take, in my estimation, was that all OF
the publicity about western lands con-
cerned the big red apple. Now the big
red apple is all right, too. but too much
of it has discouraged many settlers.

If they had known of the possibilities
of diversified farming"

creamery, who has been active in max

held, will be we'll crowded, il all who
have called him over the telephone put

BATTEN AN ENTHUSI-
ASTIC DIyERSIFIER

The Hood River valley has no citizen
more enthusiastic over diversified
farming than E. f. Batten, the East
Side poultry fancier, who last week
purchased one of the finest boars ever
brought to the community. Mr.. Bat
ten purchased the boar. Berkshire
with pedigree that will give him en-.
tree in all circles of hogdom, while IN
Spokane attending a meeting of the
Jersey Breeders Association last week.
"This association will hold a sale
about June l." says Mr.. Batten, "and
any local men who are looking out for
good stock should attend the sale.
MIR. Batten declares that he thinks
the best thing many apple growers,
even some in Hood River, can do will
be to pull up portion of their trees
and begin raising something that will
bring them a steady income. He and
neighbors of the East Side secured
some fine hogs from the Willamette
valley last spring. They have been
successful in their stockraising, and
are going to continue it. Mr.. Batten
predicts prosperity and success for the
valley. when large percentage of The
orchardists follow similar methods.

The Hood River county oranges and
the Commercial club have studied the
bill introduced recently by Senator r.
R. Butler and which provides for the
formation of public utility districts and

. The plan of today's operation was
for the diver, Chilly or Nielsen, to take
down a three-inch rope line. the two
ends OF which will be held by the
tenders on the surface. Once on the
bottom he will cut the rope and work
one loose end under the aft end OF
the shell and tie il to the other loose
end Although the feat would take
considerable work Diver Nielsen felt
confident last night that il could be
done. 81 s 81.
The next step will be to attach a
heavier rope to one end Of the line at
the surface and pull the free end until
the heavy rope replaces the lighter
under the submarine. A steel cable
will then be slipped around the shell
and finally heavy cable. With heavy
cables fixed fore and aft the salvage
crew feels certain the swing shore
ward will begin in earnest. The steep
ness OF the climb will make the prog
