the western front:
North Of Bellewaarde sections of a

THE British and French continued
yesterday their attempts to break

Canal the British. overpowered by
Westphalians and Saxons after a hand
to-hand fight, were forced to beat a
speedy retreat into their positions.
Against the front, stretching from
the west of Levin to Arras, the French
continued to direct fresh attacks. In
the Lorette hills they completely de-
molished a trench which had been
abandoned TO them. South of Souchez
they succeeded in penetrating into our
positions over a width of about 500
metres, and obtained foothold. Fight
they we're repulsed with sanguinary
losses.
Much Ammunition Used.
consequently, attacks conducted with
a great expenditure of ammunition, re-
CARELESS Of very heavy losses, again
terminated in a defeat for the French
and British.
French attacks at Moulin-sous-
Toutvent failed. We took five officers
and 300 Frenchmen prisoners.

Cured yesterday between the valleys Of

very good hRaItT resort Tor u.s.,
my health has always been
very good whether l was in the
rigid climate Of North Dakota or
in the more. mild districts, but it,
is very plain to be- seen that
Mrs. Mitchell is heavier and
stronger than when living in a.
zero climate.
This state is varied! We do.
not have to travel but a m few
miles to pass from frost, snow
and ice to the land Of oranges
and rosos. For instance, six
miles east of Yucaipa snow, is
: six inches to a foot deep. 1t is
cold enough so that it does not
thIaw but very little at this sea-
son Of the year. Here we have
no snow to mention, possibly a
light furry that is gone soon
after SUNRISE, ground has frozen
a little, the past two nights but
this is unusual. Eight miles
west Of th6s one comes into the
orange groves and yards filled!
with the brightest of flowers.
Certainly it is very easy to con-
suit your own feeling and take
your choice.
The early varieties of oranges
r now being Picked but others
will remain upon the trees until
late in the spring. In this part.
of the state. the crop isl not.
abundant but the price is better,
than last year. The producer is,
realizing about 5000 per box
for first class fruit.
In this attitude, 2,7CO to $1,000
feet above sea, we can not grow:
oranges but apples Ire promis-
ing very fine. The older r
chards have produced fine fruit,
but here the trees are from one
to five, years Old, too young to,
bear yet but they have made a,
wonderful growth the past year.
The s4,.outs are from 4 to-.
10 feet long, just this season s.
growth. Surely, in a very short
time, they will produce abund-,
antlV. Within a few miles from,
here many thousand acrea have
been sown to oats or barley
the past two months, this will be!
cut and bailed' for hay next,
June or July. Alfalfa is raised
in large quantities in many.
places. This hay is. now worth
$40 or $25 per ton.

expense Of $500.
Two lots have been purchased.
and a parsonage built at nearly.
$2,OOO-so we have not been idh,
