REUSED TO ANGER
BY ROADS ACTION
Railroads Appeal from Order
of State Commission Hamp-
ers Service on Branch

The Great Northern railway is Gin
bad' with the people of Johnson,
Graceville, Barry, Beardsley and
Browns Valley because the improved
service ordered for the branch line by
the state railroad commission has been
delayed and may not come at all.
At Browns Valley the citizens are
enraged and will take steps to have
their miserable old depot condemned.
This was not included in the original
plans for better railroad service.
On March 10 the railroad commits
sion ordered a new service on the
branch between Browns Valley and
Morris, and the service was to have
gone into effect last Monday morning
Instead of the new train schedule the
local freight left Morris at TOO a.
M, old schedule time. 1t was the
first time for over year that this
freight has been anywhere near it's
leaving time and when it pulled out
several passengers were left. 1t
reached the Valley about an hour late
which caused considerable surprise
and comment. Passenger trains were
remarkably near time at all the sta
tions. The appeal of the company
will not mean abandoning the fight
for better service. Browns Valley
people have their ire sufficiently
aroused to continue the fight as long
as there is a fight and will not rest
till the frightfully bad railroad SER
vice on the Great Northern is i'm
proved. Regarding this matter Re-
preventative Gordon has this to say IN
the Browns Valley Tribune last week
I'D. j. Leary, as attorney for petit
TONERS, received notice of appeal last
night from attorneys of the Great
Northern railway, in the matter of
the improved service on the Browns
Valley branch, which service had been
ordered by the State Railroad Com
mission, to take effect on Monday of
next week, April 10th. The commits
sion's order was issued on March
10th, and under the law, either side
to the controversy has the right to
appeal within thirty days. The ap-
peal has not come as great surprise
to the petitioners, as it has been the
policy of the Great Northern to ap-
peal in nearly every case that has
been decided against them by the
commission. The case will be heard
in the May term of the district court
for Traverse county. If defeated, it
is quite likely that the railroad will
carry the matter into the supreme
court, not that the company hopes
or expects to win in either case,
but by doing so they can delay put
ting the order into effect and may
hope to tire out the petitioners, but
in this case at least, they may rest
assured that the petitioners will stay
in the fight just as long as there is
fight.
"Steps will also be taken by
Browns Valley people to file a COM
plant with the railway commission
regarding the condition of the old hulk
of depot here, which fails to meet
the requirements of depot under the
law. Officials of the railroad have
repeatedly broken promises in the
matter of erecting a new depot, and
the people are fully convinced that
this company will not give up any
thing they are not forced to give I'M
dor the law -

The after-Lenten social season will
be opened with dance to be given
by the Woodmen at the Star theatre.
Monday April "a is the date selected.
A bran new sport has been intro
duced here. Melting SHOWS and rain
caused the lakes and creeks to leap
their banks and fill the county bitches.
Fish have found their way into the
bitches and the boys are busy after
them with spears.
On account of the busy season with
farmers and because so many of
them hereabouts are members of the
Alberta Yeomen, lodge meetings will
be held only once a month until furth-
er notice. 1t has been decided to
hold the meetings on the first Tuesday
of each month, the next meeting fall
ing on May 2.
Four candidates are waiting to be
initiated into the Alberta Woodmen
camp. They will be taken across the
hot sands at the meeting next week.
The camp has not been in existence
long but is growing at lively rate.
Albert Stranger, clerk, resigned the
position at the last meeting and his
place will be filled by F. L. Spauld-
ing.
The Great Northern railway COM
pany has notified the village that the
request for loading platform will be
granted. At the same time the COM
pany will extend the industry track
about 600 feet, and the work will be
commenced early next month. The
platform has been needed for some
time because of the growing import
ance of the village as a shipping
point. Among the other improve
ments ordered is a we'll to furnish
water to the stock yards.
Waste paper which has been entire
ly ignored and considered a germ
laden nuisance in Alberta is about to
come into it's own and be made to
yield profit to persons with economi-
cal habits. Waste paper is worth
about eight dollars ton. Three bales
about the !lsize of bale of hay make
a ton. Several of the business men
are looking up prices on waste paper
baling machines and it is very likely
a new industry will be started here
right away.
That there is money in chickens if
the birds are cared for properly is be-
ing demonstrated by local "small
farmer" Interviewed the other day
this man said in substance: 81 have
got 80 chickens and we are getting
80 eggs every day now. Last year l
didn't pay much attention to chickens
any more than l did in the proceeding
years. Friend Wife bought the gro
ceries and frequently clothes for the
children, with the eggs. Last sum-
mer we built better chicken house
and kept the birds off the fields and
lawn. We are looking after them a
little better and we keep account of
the returns. If chickens are worth
while I want to know it else I'll
chop their heads off. am surprised
with the showing even with the prices
for eggs so low. think the trouble
with US farmers is that we have
farmed with our hands and feet too
much and haven't mingled our brains
with our labors. l am finding out
slowly about the chicken business for
I am taking pains to read little in
the chicken papers,.

FLYERS to Avenge Friend

Paris, Oct. 16.-Sergeant Raoul Luf-
berry. of New Haven, the first American
to be mentioned officially for bringing
down five hostile aeroplanes. is known
as the American who thought himself
a Frenchman.
Lufberys parents died when he
was very young and he was brought
up by family at Bourges. AT thirteen
he ran away from home and wandered
all over the world. turning his hand
to all kinds of trades. AT Saigon he
met the aviator. Marc Pourpe, who
trained him as his assistant.
Lufbery discovered he was an Amer
lean when, on the outbreak of the war
he went to enlist with Pourpe. He
was rejected on account Of his nation
slity, but, after many appeals, was al
lowed to 20 with Pourpe as his me-
chanic.
Pourpe was killed soon afterward
and Lufbery swore to svenge him. he
importuned his superiors TO allow him
to train as a pilot, and his request was
finally granted Lufbery got his pilots
certificate last yesr and was trans
ferred to the American flying corps
when it was formed. He brought down
all of the five German machines re-
auired for mention in communique
since July 80. The first three were de-
stroyed within ten days.

HANGS BY HEELS
ON SUBWAY CAR
Doctor Rescued After g.
Block Ride-Head Near
Third Rail

Suspended head downward from the
side door of subway train, in which
his feet had been caught, and with his
head and arms dangling perilously
close to the third rail and missing the
passing iron pillars by inches, DR.. Ivan
Balabonoff, 8 throat specialist, of Ia
coma, Wash, was carried three BLOCKS
in the uptown subway last night before
the train was finally brought to stop.
The physician attempted TO enter the
last car Of a northbound local at the
Fourteenth Street station. The door
slid shut just as he was stepping in
and clsmped his legs below the knees.
His body was thrown outward on the
platform and the train started The
station was crowded with passengers
waiting for an express, and 5edlam
of shouts and screams arose as his
body was swept along the platform and
dropped off the end, swinging from the
car side as the train picked up speed.
Several persons blew police whistles

by Patrolman John Dawson, of the
Twenty-second Street station, who was
standing near the street entrance. He
rushed down the steps and gained me
platform as the tail lights were dis
appearing through the tunnel. When
told what had happened he leaped down
on to the track and sped after the
train, hoping TO catch up with it when
it stopped at Eighteenth Street.
In the meantime Patrolman John
Mccormick, a passenger in the rear
coach, had seen DR.. Balabonoff's feet
protruding through the partly closed
door and jerked the emergency cord.
The train was brought to a stop at
Seventeenth Street, just as Dawson
came running up. He and Mccormick
stood astride of the third rail and
supported the doctor TO keep him from
falling on il, while the guard opened
the door. The physician refused med
ical aid, saying he was suffering only
from shock and slight bruises on the
legs.

BRITISH DESTROYED
A RUNAWAY TANK"
Shelled to Keep Construction
Secret from Germans

The first of the one hundred walking
fortresses known as tanks" now in use
on the British front was demolished by
British artilerymen with its garrison
aboard, according 10 Lieutenant Steph-
ane Lauzanne, who arrived yesterday
on the Lafayette. The order was given
TO open fire, said Lieutenant Lauzanne,
when it was apparent that the huge
stroller was beyond the control OF its
engineer and was making straight for
the German lines with its precious con-
struction secret. The British soldiers
inside the "tank" died when 1t was de-
stroyed.
"The sight of the tank coming
toward them" said he, INSPIRED terror
in the minds Of the Germans, who
thought it was some giant animal
brought from India. When the British
artillery destroyed the machine II
caused more wonder among the enemy
and their officers, according to pris-
oners captured later"

SALLY ENTERED
IN FRENCH DRIVE
Positions Seized on Road
to Bapaume - British
Crush Counter Attack

London, Oct. 1s.-The French ad-
vaneed their lines to-day north and
south Of the Somme. To the north they
penetrated the village Of Sailly-Ssillisel
and extended their positions on the
Bethune road. To the south they cap
tured a small wood between Genermont
and Ablaincourt, north Of Chaulnes.
Violent counter attacks by the Ger
mans failed to win back any Of the
ground they had lost.
Meanwhile the British elung stead
fastly to their positions at the Schwa-
ben redoubt in the face of furious as
saults, and in an attack northeast OF
Gueudecourt penetrated the enemy's
first line trenches. Tho latter they
were forced to abandon before an over
whelming counter attack by the Ger
mans.
The capture by Foch's troops Of part
of the village Of Ssilly-Saillisel and po-
sitions on the road to Bapaume, In that
sector, marks another important step
in the drive on Bapsume. Another day
should see the completion Of the in
vestment Of the village. With that OBJ
stacle removed, the French will be able
TO sweep forward along the Bethune
road to the east of Transloy, which will
then be placed in such a pocket as that
which resulted in the capture OF
Combles.
The fall of Transloy will straighten
out the whole Allied front which forms
the base of the Bapaume triangle. Their
the British can continue operations IN
conjunction with the French, the two
armies moving north toward their OBJ
Jective on both sides Of the constantly
narrowing triangle.
The French success south OF the
Somme, while only slight serves to
strengthen their grip on the lines along
which lie Chaulnes and Barleux, the
bastions Of the enemy's defences south
of Peronne. Only few more gains are
needed to bring the French where they
can launch the final assault on Peronne
itself.
The Allied seroplanes lgain are be-
coming active IN reconnaissance WORK,
heralding the renewal OF general OIL
fensiye along the whole Somme front.
The hombardment of the German lines
has increased in fury during the last
few days and a great deal OF damage
has been inflicted on enemy works.
