with further gains which virtually
brings them to the bank of the stream.
To the north and east OF Sailly-Sail-
lesel where the French have advanced
their line in the last few days at what
the Berlin war office asserts was q
cost in casualties not commensurate
with the gain, the Germans have made
a violent counteraLtack, which was
repulsed by the French.
Berlin admits that in their attacks
on the Sars-Morval front the British
captured German positions. but says
these later were retaken. Heavy rains
fell Thursday on the British front and,
except for a slight gain by the British
at Butte De WarlencOurt and the re.
pulse Of German cOunter-attack
there comparative quiet prevailed.
As yet no decisive result has been
achieved by either the Austro-Ger-
mans or the Russians in the violent
fighting that has been going on for
several days in EOlhynia and Galicia.
The Petrograd war office says that
near kizlin and Sviniusky, in Vol
hynia, violent attacks by the Tcutonic
allies were repulsed. while Berlin
records the capture OF Russian
trenches on the west bank Of the StOk-
hod and the repulse with heavy casu-

South of Zbrorow in Galcia several

FAIRMONT, w. Va, Oct. 49,
Ten men are thought to be dead
in Jarison mine No. 7, at Bar
rackville, due to an explosion that
occurred there to-day shortly after
noon. The plant was wrecked, but
not entirely demolished. One OF
the fans was put out OF commits
sion, but the other one was soon
repaired, so that good air is now
being forced into the shaft. For
tunateiy the mine was not work
inq to-day, because there was a
shorta1e OF cars Had there been
a sufficient numoer OF cars there
would nave been at least 800 men
at the bottom OF the shaft, which
is S12 feet deep. All about the
workings OF the mine the ground
is Uttered with debris that rained
down over the plant for five min
utes after the detonation.
The flame and smoke that issued
from the three shaTts was seen
by many persons in this city, and
the rumbiine noise could be dis
tinctiy heard. This was sufficient
to inform the people that fright
full disaster had taken place, and
within a few minutes the news
was learned that the mine at Bar
rackville had been blown up.
There were many conflicting sto-
ries at first, but soon something
real began to filter through.
Those in the mine, for whom there
IS little or no hope Of their being
alive, are:

FINE FIELD FOR PRIVATE ENTER.
PRISE.

Ii is possible for one to be too close
to an object to see it in proper per
spectiye. Sometimes distance not
only 'lends enchantment to the view
but also conduces to clearer vision
For year or more it has been eyi-
dent that the state of Oklahoma was
going to fall behind in providir.~ ia
cilities to take care of the rapidly in
creasing number OF students coming
10 the College for Women. During all
this time a fine field for private enter
prise in the building of dormitories
contiguous to the college has been ly-
ing open but our home people have
signally failed to see it. It remained
for Missouri woman to recognize the
opportunity and take advantage OF it..
Mrs. P. X. Higgins, of Liberty, Mo,
according to announcement made by
President Austin, is going to have two
buildings near the college campus
ready for nso in September. Doubtless
one thing which enabled Mrs Higgins
to see an opportunity that was over
looked by Chickasha people was the
fact that she lives in town that has
two excellent colleges and can there
fore better understand the signifi-
canoe Of such institutions to com
munity from the business point of
view.
The history Of all growing state
schools OF the kind that we have here
shows that the accommodations for
the students fail to keep pace with de-
mands. Mixed up in the maelstrom of
politics. legislators are slow to seeithe
real needs of sach Institutions and
variety of factors enter into the delay
in making the necessary appropria-
tions. Both in the administration
building and in the donnitory the
school here has already far outgrown
its swaddling clothes and the legisla-
ture must be asked to give II larger
garments. Even though the next leg
islature should be in a mood to pro-
vide for the actual necessities at the
SINE. II will be year before new
buildings can be erected and when

ed II strikes us that the plan is an
eminently practical one and certainly
the purpose is laudable one. 1t is
very fine to make the Fourth of July
a time for the outpomius of patriotic
sentiments but it is still better to
make 1t an occasion for directing such
sentiments toward the accomplishing
OF something that will be of concrete
value in promoting civic progress.
1t win not cost any huge sum TO
make College Boulevard what it should
be. More grading is needed. some
kind OF covering for the surface must
be provided. more trees must be set
out and arrangements must be made
for giving ii the systematic care re-
quired. These are the first essentials
and after we have looked after them
we can add as many fancy touches to
the thing as we can afford College
Boulevard should be made one of
show places. The num-
ber of visitors coming to attend com.
exercises at the college
win increase from year to year and it
would be an asset of great value to the
town TO have such a driveway for them
to see.

COMMUNITY CENTER SONGS.

Five community center songs, espe-

gether for the use of the Grover Cleve-

which MISS Margaret Wilson is hon
orary president. and copies may be OBJ

are entirely new. having just made
their bow to the public at the Grover
Cleveland Forum. One is called sIt's

is sung to the air of Tipperary; the
other entitled "Neighboriiood." is

same condition will exist.
A little reflection should be suffi-
cient to convince anybody that such
an Investment as Mrs. Higgins pro-
poses to make here is entirely safe
and the field of opportunity is large
enough to encourage others to enter
il. Enough students were turned
away this year to fill such buildings
as the Missouri woman plans and it is
certain that the number Of applicants
for places will be largely increased
next year. This year All students
were enrolled and President Austin
can easily run the number up to $50

profitable investment should therefore
appeal to local capital.

college BOULEVARD"

To begin with, let's christen it col
lege Boulevard This name sounds
well and is entirely suitable, in view
of the fact that the beautiful driveway
to be runs past the great educational
institution of which we are so proud
Perhaps, toe, it win make us take
more interest in improving it if it
bears a distinctive name and one that
carries with it special significance.
About year ago the Daily Express
and the Business Women's club con-
Quoted quite a noisy campaign for the
purpose of making a real boulevard
out of Seventeenth street, starting at
Minnesota avenue. Considerable in
terest in the matter was aroused and
many public spirited citizens made
liberal donations. The street was
graded and since then more trees
have been set out but for the most
part the infant boulevard has been
sadly neglected. In many places now
il is as rough as the most neglected
country road.
Now comes the proposal to couple
the boulevard cause with patriotic

of the proceeds of certain shows that
