MADE SUDDEN DASH

PETROGRAD, July 8.--An Austrian
force estimated at between 10000 and
10000 has been cut off by the Rus
SLAMS southwest of Kolomea.
The Austrians were massed east Ct
the railway leading southwark
through Jablonitza pass. The sudden
dash of Russian infantry body that
seized the railway station of Mix
luiczyn cut off their retreat to- the
south. The right wing of the same
Russian army, advancing westward
upon Nadvorna, severed their COM
municatiop with the Austrian forces
to the north.
The latest reports to the war ofhce
said that Russian troops were at
tempting to squeeze the Austrians
against the foothills of the Car
pathians and effect their capture be-
fore they can escape through the
mountain passes.
Russian aeroplane scouts report
the withdrawal of enemy heavy ar
tillery on the right wing Of General
Won Bothmer's Austro-German army.
There are other indications that Won
Bothmer, hard pressed by the Rus
slams advancing on Nadvorna and
Stanislau, is preparing to fall back
on the whole Galician front.
From the Volhynian battle ground
northward, the Germans continue a
most stubborn defense. Both on the
Riga-Dvinsk front and in the fighting
around Sokul, where the Russians
have made further progress, the enc
my is counter-attackins with great
vigor.

COuaty Prisoners
Are To Work

A special meeting Of the board
of county commissioners has
been called for Tuesday, April 4.
The meeting is called for the pur-
pose of arranging to put the
county prisoners at work on the
roads. There are several pris-
oners i'm The county Jail serving
time for bootlegging and under
the present arrangement they
have nothing to do and are being
fed by the county. This is not a
very severe punishment and the
officials believe that they should
be put to work and be made to
earn enough to pay for their
board at least.

DANGEROUS WaShOut
on Jefferson Street

There is a very bad washOut on
jefferson avenue at the corner
of Eighth street. The water
main along the street was put in
last fall and did not have time to
settle and the water running
in the ditch alonside of the main
left the ditch at this point and ran
INTO the creek which passes under
Jefferson avenue washing the dirt
out. The action of the water
has left a hole there about five
feet across and about the same in
depth and leaving the water pipe
exposed.
The hole is almost in the CEN
ter of Jefferson avenue at its
junction with Eighth street and
is very dangerous to vehicles,
especially after dark. The city
authorities probably are not
aware of the dangerous condi-
ton of the street but it should
be fixed at once as any vehicle
passing there at night would be
unable to escape the hole and the
city would be liable for big dam
ages.

He came here to take the first step

are about $50 men at work doing
concrete work on the tunnel near

lremely large job and will prob
ably cost in the neighborhood of
a million dollars to complete. The
railroad company, he states, has
been having considerable trouble
with slides this spring between
Avery and Saltice, Montana. In
one of these slides over 1000 tons
of earth was piled on the track.
So far the slides have not result

Will Extend
Water System
TO SERVE EAST SIDE OF RIVER
Milwaukee Lumber Company TO Furnish Water
For Campbell & Petersen Addition

1t is reported that the Milwau-
kee Lumber company is planning
on extending its water system.
The company put in a private
system of its own to supply the
mills and residences of its en-
ployes dwelling in that vicinity
and the system IS intended for
fire protection for the plant and
buildings as we'll as for domes-
tic purposes.
The people residing between
the lumber cOmpany's plant and
the city, in what is known as
the Campbell & Petersen addi-
ton, have tried for a number Of
years to have the city extend its
mains so as to furnish them
water but without success. Now
it is reported that the company
has decided to extend its sys-
TEN to furnish these people with
water both for domestic use and
fire protection.
Mr.. Wilson of the Lewiston
Box Factory company, requested
the city to extend its mains to
give him fire protection for his
plant and the members of the
council promised to put in a main
from the pumping plant on the
north side of the st. Joe river
across to his factory. The high
water came on before the work
could be done this spring and
Mr.. Herrick offered to extend the
lumber company's system and
supply the box factory with water.
The lumber company, it is
stated, has a much larger supply
of water than it needs for do
mestic purposes and fire protec-
ton for its mills and yards. II
also has plenty of power not in
use so the only expense in fur
nishing the water will be for the
pipe and laying the mains. II
is understood that the company
has made the necessary arrange
ments for starting work at once
NOn the extension Of the system.
