We the Albatross, but we were under such headway that we overshot him. I got bullet in the shoulder, but it didn't prevent me from continuing the chase.
 The Germans tried to escape by dropping, but flew over them again. Apparently one of them was wounded. Suddenly my lieutenant got in volley at point blank range and the Alba tross tipped. forward shooting nose downwards 6,000 feet to the earth. We followed them with our eyes. When the machine struck the earth it seemed to crumple into a ball and bounded along the hillside like a wounded rabbit running.

 Page te Washington lndeltss. INVESTIGATION BY LIEUT.. LOWERS Stars and Stripes Hauled Down Be-
 cause Sun had Set and ship Was
 considered at sea--No One Was
 Seriously Injured.

Washington, May 2S.-Ev1dence forwarded by Ambassador Page to the state department today gathered by Lieutenant John H. Towers, naval attache at the American embassy at London, indicates that the American steamer Nebraskan was torpedoed by a subma rine.
 Lieutenant Towers made a technical examination of the Nebraskan on her arrival at Liverpool and took state. ments and aff1davits from Captain Greene and members of the crew. The chief engineer stated that he saw "the wake of a torpedo" just before the vessel was attacked.
 Summary of Report.
 The detailed evidence is being sent by mall, but summary of main fea- lures of the cable report was issued by the state department:
 The American ambassador in Lon- don informed the state department that the investigation of the Nebras- kan incident by Lieutenant Towers brings out the facts as follows:
 gsi Was in Water Ballast.
 That the Nebraskan had left Liver pool bound for the Delaware break water on the afternoon of May 24. and was in water ballast. The words 'Nebraskan, New York, were painted on each side amidships in letters six feet high, and she flew the American flag continuously up to approximately 8:10 p. m., May 25, at which time the ship was about 40 miles southwest of Fast Net.
 The flag was then hauled down because the sun had set and the ship was considered at sea. The chief engineer of the ship at SPA D. m observed a white streak in the water, perpendicular to the ship, on the star board side, and a severe shock was almost instantly felt, followed by violent explosion abreast hold No. II.
 Hatch Covers Blown on.
 Hatch covers No. i werg blown off, also cargo bcoms above the same, and the air was filled with oil and debris, the double bottom compart- nents below hold No I having been used for tanks for fuel oil. Bot- tom plating and pieces of the side were blown up through two decks. Thee ship settled .imm ediately by the head and officers and crew took to boats. After remaining off the ship about one hour. they returned and headed the ship for Liverpool. Under orders of the British admiralty, d British naval trawler came up at midnight and remained with the Ne braskan until she reached the mouth of the Mersey
 No one was seriously injured The ambassador is sending by mail a de-, tailed report of Lieutenant Towers and dispositions of three of the ships officers taken by the consul at Liver pool"

A "wednesday Morning Runaway.

The fine driving team Of D. 0. JUS
tus became anxious to start for the
ronch Wednesday morning, and they
pulled out before Mr.. Justus had fin
ished loading his buggy in front of
Thomson Eros store. The team
turned at the Vic Groshen corner, so
close that mud was thrown all over
the walk. They made their way
around Court street and started for
the country highway which leads up
Hinton creek. Their wild dash was
brought to an end by R. l.. Moore
of the Peoples Cash Market, who
jumped On horse and overlook them
just beyond the school building No
damage was done, with the exception
of the spilling of few parcels out of
the buggy.

HEPPNER, THE CENTER OF :
RICH INLAND COUNTRY
SHE SLEEPS.

The above head was suggested to
us bv the report telling of the new
mail route from Echo up Butter
creek to Lena. The Butter creek
country has previously received their
mail from Heppner, two routes going
our from this city, one to Galloway
and one to Lena. 1t is not det1nitely
understood whether one or both OF
these routes will be discontinued
from Heppner but it is safe to pre-
sumo that the Lena route at least Will
be taken from us. Lena postofnce Is
a little better than 16 miles from the
county seat Of Morrow county, yet
the people Of Echo and lower Butter
creek have been able, through their
aggressiveness and public spirit, to
wrest from Heppner this mail route,
and divert perfectly good trade into
the channel which leads to Echo.
That is one condition which ex-
lists upon the Northeast of us. On
the South and West problems of the
same nature confront us. Heppner
at one time was known throughout
the Northwest as the trading center
for the interior town as far as Can
Won City. Freight teams Of great
length lined our principal business
streets, and the result of this trade
to Heppner merchants reached a
goodly sum. But today, how differ
ent, The railroad has wended its
way into eastern Grant county. The
merchants of Baker have made a
strong bid for the trade on this side
of that county. Better roads nave
been constructed and today there is
little freighting done from Heppner
which reaches any farther into the
interior than Hamilton, or possibly
Long Creek, and the freighting out
of Heppner into the interior has de-
creased at least half in the last ten
wears. Good roads leading out the
other way have proven a strong FAC
tor in diverting trade in that dlrec-
ton instead of Heppner.
On the west, we have lost a few
good star mail routes, due rather tc
administrative policies than to any
thing else, but that has not been the
cause for our losing some perfect!
good trade which now goes to Con
don. Gillian county has put in some
work on roads that has been cred
it to the county as well as proving
strong bid for interior trade, mostly
from Wheeler county 1t is under
stood that sheepmen of that territory
have made the statement that it tool
five days on the road to get one loat
of wool into Hppner. Have we made
any attempt to see that travel coult
be made easier for these people, OF
does their trade amount to anything
to Heppner. 1t is about time for vi
to wake up, for if we don't soon
when we do we will find everything
too far cut of reach, and Heppne
will be left holding the snipe bag.

SIGNS OF SPRING.

While our present spell of warm
and pleasant weather may only DC
the harbinger of storm to come Ia
ter. there is nevertheless some signs
that spring is with us and we may
hope that winter is past. oscar MI
nor has a hazel nut tree in his gar
den that is now in full bloom ana
presents an appearance of loveliness;
SQUIRRELS are out in abundance ana
busy as bees and the Heppner mis-
are taking on their beautiful coat OF
emerald. The farmers over most OF
the county are plowing and seeding
and working their summerfalloW, and
while there is yet to be chronlcled
the usual difficulties and forceful set
tlement of arguments that are sure
signs, the school boy is getting his
bat, ball and nit into action ond we
may be safe in saying that Spring is
here.

The month Of February, though
shortest in the year, proved to be a
record breaker from moisture pro-
ducing standpoint. 1t not only pro-
duced a rainfall in excess of the nor
nal by one-ffth of an inch, but it
is also the first month since last Oc-
tober to come through with precip-
itation equal to the normal. Indeed
it's precipitation of l.67 inches is the
greatest received in Pendleton DURING
any one month since October, 1913
when 2.41 inches of rain fell. BY
REGULAR coincidence an all day rair
fell on the first and last days of the
month.-East Oregonian.
