Greater Part of Little Will lage Now in Hands of
 Australian Troops.
EMPEROR GOES TO
 RUSSIAN FRONT
French Occupy Redoubt in Verdun Sector. and Capture German Bat tery Near Esprees--ITnOfficial Re-
 ports Say Russians Win Success.

Lcndon, July 24.-At Pozieres, the Australians are still fighting furious ly with the Germans for possession of the village and the head of the road leading from it to Bapaume, ahi the greater part of the village now is reported to be in the Australians hands.
 There has been a lessening in the vicious fighting which began Satur- day night along the front of the British from Thietval to Guillemont. A condition of comparative calm prevails south of the Somme, along the French line, where the only fight ing reported resulted in the French capturing a German battery south of Esprees.
 Eastward, in the Verdun regiorl, the French have occupied German re- doubts near Thiaumont.
 Perlin still asserts that the only result of the fighting today along the Thietval -Guillemont line was the pen etration of a few houses in the vil- log" of Pozieres.
 Although unofficial reports have credited to the Russians big gains against the Germans in the Riga re- zion, neither Petrograd nor Berlin communications have as vet recorded any impor ant changes there.
 Emperor William is reported to have left the French front to observe the operations in the East. The Russians have made further nrcgress against the Turks in the Erzingan region of Turkish Armenia, while to the south, along the Persian front, the Turks are reported to have gained fresh successes over the Russians.
 The Italians in the Astigo and Avezo regions of the Anstro-ltalian theatre, report continued advances against the Austrians.
 Premier Asuuith has asked the British parliament for an additional credit vote of 45O millian pounds, the largest request since the beginning of the war.

BALLOT TITLES CON-
FUS|NG TO VOTERS
Danger of Mistaking Single Tax For
Rural Credits.

1.-THE Full Rental Value Land Tax
& Homemaker's Loan Fund Amend
ment" is the ballot title for measure
No. 306 & 307. THE Rural Credits
Amendment" is the ballot title for
amendment No. 318 & 319. There
is danger that these titles may be
confusing. The word loan" in No.
800 & 307 may lead some voters to
believe that it is 1.-THE Rural Credits
Amendment" Voters should be
very careful in distinguishing be-
tween these two measures on election
day.
There is the widest possible diff
ference in the effect which the adop-
tion of these two measures would
have. Amendment No. 306 & 307
is a single tax measure and has for
it's purpose the confiscation of private
ownership in land. Amendment No.
318 & 319 is just what its name
implies: an amedment giving rural
credits or cheap money to the far
mers. The first amendment No. 306
& 3O7 would simply ruin the state of
Oregon if it were adopted. The last
amendment No. 318 & 319 will build
up Oregon by giving the farmer sheap
money with which to bring his farm
up to a high state of improvement
and cultivation.
To defeat single tax vote 307 X NO..
To get Rural Credits vote '31S X
YES.

The Naming of Butter Creek.

The versions of how Butter creek
came to be named have been publish
ed by the Tribune as follows:
John S. Vinson of Freewater from
whom the townsite of Vinson was
named gives the origin, as he heard
lit from the early settlers. Some
travellers in pioneerdays camped on
lower Butter creek. Among their
edibles was tub of butter. During
the night the animals roaming about
the camp rolled the tub with its con-
tents into the creek. The stream was
afterwards called Butter creek.
]. P. Earl is positive that Wilson's
version is wrong and he gives the
following account:
Along in 1S4S occurred the first
Cayuse war, followed by the Whitman
massacre. A volunteer army set
forth to capture the redskins. S. D.
Earl, his father, and an uncle were
in this army. 1t seems they were aid
ing the wagons of the commissary
which got ahead of the army. Two
wagons camped on the creek over
night. The men had only sugar and
butter to eat until the other wagons
caugh up with them.
They considered a meal Of butter
worthy of commemoration and ac-
cordingly named the creek Butter
creek.-Echo News.

NEWS NOTES FROM
NE|GHBOR|NG CITIES
Auto Trucks Shorten Miles on Wal
Iowa County Roads.

Auto trucks give promise of solv-
ing the freight transportation prob
lem for interior Wallowa county
points. Two heavy trucks are now
in service between Enterprise and
outlying points, and they have prov
ed great success while the roads are
hard and at all smooth.
The first truck was put into this
service by the w. H. Bohnenkamp
store at Flora. Since the roads set
tied in the spring the car has been
used steadily and has hauled sever
al hundred tons of freight to the
north end store. 1t has been in de-
mand frequently for passenger trav-
ell, also, as it makes far better time
than team drawing load.
This fall greater innovation was
introduced by B. w. Hamilton and
his son o. S. Hamilton. They bought
a new three ton truck for hauling
grain in from the distant farms. 1t
has been in use night and day much
of the time since threshing got un-
der way, making trips to points 80
miles from town, near Zumwalt. The
truck carries IS to 70 sacks of
wheat, weighing up to S40O pounds,
and Is SO much faster on the road
than horses that grain is moved far
quicker than ever before.
Frequently the driver would meet
team loaded with grain a few miles
out from town. The truck would
go to its destination east Of Crow
creek and return with it's load, ov-
ertaking the horse-drawn freight
wagon before reaching town.
B. W. Hamilton ran the car on
the day run until he was taken i'll,
and o. S. Hamilton had the night
shift. Now the latter is alone on
the job, but he is seeking a compe-
tent driver so that the machine can
be kept on the road continuously.
The success Of auto trucks in the
county depends wholly on the roads.
When the highways are brought to
a condition where they will be harI
the year round, the expense OF
hauling will be lessened, and the
time required will be reduced great

The inhabitants are as cosmopolitan

slight extent maize, are grown. but
lately the planting of the vine has as
sumed enormous proportions. There.

Kisses; Marriages; Divorces

About once in every decade a new
temple of Bohemia comes suddenly in
to prominence on Broadway, SAYS the
New York Times. For instance, there
is Broadway's little Hungary. Kisses,
marriages and divorces at wholesale
and just for the asking is one of the
features at the Hungarian peasant bali
nights. At these balls force OF DO
lice is maintained to arrest violators
of long list of humorous laws, and in
addition to this it is a rule that any
person must kiss a member of the op-
posite sex when asked or be arrested
Marriage is also compulsory even il
proposed by stranger, but as di-
vorce will be granted for the asking,
no serious results ensue. A person who
marries must obtain a divorce before
marrying another or an arrest will fol-
low. Fines of five and ten cents are
exacted for the various offenses, the
proceeds being devoted to worthy
charities.

Mr.. Drinkwater and his discoveries

dismissal of the charge against Scru-

the deliberately low pitch of his voice.

the folding doors were in front of his

the curtained easement on the other.
Yet sometimes he paused to gaze at
the friend who had come to warn him
of his danger; and there was nothing
cynical or grim about him then.

perhaps the first time in her life; but
it had never before been extorted from

she had obviated to some extent by

also little to her hurt, she had found
at his lodgings in the neighborhood

to communicate to her.. But 1t was no
time for taking anything but his peril
to heart. And that they had been dis.

The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron
requires almost no ironing.
Although the subject of kitchen
aprons is not one to arouse a great
amount of enthusiasm, it is not by
any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive. while
they cleverly fill all that is required
of them in the way of usefulness.
This means that they must cover the
figure, be plain and easily adjusted.
good looking and shc pely. They must
be neatly finished and provided with
at least one pocket and made of ma
terial that will stand any amount OF
Tubing.
All of the new aprons are made
with elbow sleeves except those that
are sleeveless. Very shapely and at
tractive models have large bib at
the front of the body fastened by fiat
bands of the material to the belt at
the back A favorite finish for all
edges is a fiat band of material in
contrasting color. All the fast col
ors are used with white. and striped
effects prevail.

BUSINESS MAN NEEDS SPORT
America Would Do Well to Follow
Example Set by England in
That Respect.
What do you do for exercise?"

What do you do for exercise?"
ITO tell the truth, don't get very
much exercise nowadays. / used to
play considerable golf and tennis when
| was in college, but after / got into
business-well, you know how it is.
You don't have time, for one thing,
and there's no place for play, for an
other
This conversation occurred recently
between two New York business men.
Both men were under thirty. Both
loved athletic sports and games But
both had Hgot into business and were
growing fat about the waist.
The problem of obtaining exercise
in big city so far has not received
the serious attention that it deserves.
The chief medical adviser of one of
New York's greatest life insurance
companies has said that the increased
mortality among persons more than
fifty years old is partly due to the
average citizens lack of exercise.
Americans, unlike Englishmen, have
not taken their sports seriously-as
sports. Sport in this country has hith-
erto been a violent participation for
the few and gentle dissipation for
the many. Baseball is called the great
American game, and undoubtedly it is.
But how many average business men
play baseball? 1t is almost entirely
confined to the professional and anna
teur leagues and to boys in school
1t is by no means a. national game,
judged from the standpoint of those
who play it.
The whole tendency of American
athletics has been toward centraliza-
t1on and specialization. Sport has
been considered as thing apart from
the everyday business of life.
Progress and civilization have pro-
vided a thousand comforts and lux
uries for the body, while demanding
an increased activity from the brain,
so it is a mistake to believe that the
strain of modern life is responsible
for the increased death rate among
middle aged persons But the want
of exercise is an important contributor
to the greater mortality.
