Riverside Orchard Company, neal
Fafk. is enthusiastic in his predic-
tons for unprecedented crops of all
kinds the coming season, especially
wheat, which he says Is looking fine

half to three feet of moisture in the
soil on the Payette bench lands,
something he never saw before at
this time of year. Mr. Hambly has
the reputation of being a very close
observer, as well as pretty reli
able prognosticator of crop pros
poets, for which reason his deduc-

PORTIA NEWS.

AT the last meeting of Portia,
Professor Nelson had charge of the
program. He demonstrated with the
Victroia and it was thoroughly con-
Fincing to the women present, that
music as it is taught today in the
schools is a real education Music
in the speaking voice was empha-
sized strongly at the General Coun-
Gil of Womenis Clubs, held in Port
land last May, it was urged that
mothers would give especial care
to the tones used in the home, so
that children would not hear the
rasping voice that is so easily inlitat-
ed. With the Victrola records Of the
speaking voice, such as we heard
on Monday, we were reminded that
there is as much music in the voice
of Ex-President Taft and Cora Mel
Patton as in those of Caruso and
Seotti- difference being only in
the style. We should have had our
Club Room crowded with mothers, it
was a worthwhile afternoon.

MINING MAN SAYS VILLA |S IN
 PERSONAL COMMAND IF BANDITS

Villa and Salazar entered there with 800 men on September 26. He was called from his home and taken be- fore Villa himself for examination. After being told that he could go. Villa warned him that if he ever worked for any American company, he would be executed, Mendez said upon his arrival here.
 After returning to his home after the interview with Villa, and retiring, Mendez says he was awakened by the screams of his wife and discovered that Martin Lopez, a brother of Pablo Lopez, and band of Villas men were footing his home. He started to run from his bedroom when a bandit shot him, he said, the bullet striking him in the left leg and breaking the large bone. As he lay on the floor of his room, Lopez, whose brother was exc cuted for his part in the Santa Ysabel massacre of eighteen Americans and other foreigners, drew his revolver and fired at Mendez's head the latter said. As he fired Mendez said he turned his head and the bullet tore through his lips and lodged in the back of his neck.
 He said Villa looked unusually well when at Cusi. and had shaved off the beard which he was reported to have worn at the attack on Chihuahua City on September 16.
 Word was received at the Mexican headquarters in Juarez today that the Villa band which had occupied Made ra railway town about q hundred miles below the main American base at Casas Grandes, had retired south ward into the mountains.

North and East of Sally Saillesel, Germans Have Made Violent Counter Attack Which Was Re pulsed by the French
TRepubliean A. p. Leased wire1


 Gradually the French are drawing their front closer to Peronne, in France. After Wednesdays advance along a mile front between Biaches and La Maisonnette, west of the Somme, an attack launched Thursday was reward ed with further gains, which virtually brings them to the bank of the stream.
 North and east of Sally Sailesel, where the French have advanced their line in the last few days, the Germans have made a violent counter attack, which was repulsed by the French.
 Berlin admits that in their attacks on the Sars- MorVal front the British cap tured German positions, but says these were later retaken.
 Except for a slight gain by the Brit ish at Butte de- -Warlencourt and the repuise of German counter attack, there comparative quiet prevailed.
 No decisive result has been achieved m the violent fighting that has been going on for several days in Volhynia and Galicia. Petrograd says that near kIselln and SViniusky, in Vohynia, attacks by the Teutons were repulsed, while Berlin records the capture of Russian trenches on the western bank Of the Stokhod and the repulse, with heavy casualties, of Russian attacks near 6ubnow.
 South of Zeborow in Galicia several attacks have been carried out success fully by the Austrians.
 In Pennsylvania, Rumanians have taken the offensive at various points and now are declared to be pushing back their adVersaries Berlin, how ever, controVerts this statement
 There is no change in the situation m Macedonia, although both the en- tente and Teutonic allies make claim to minor successes on various sectors.
 Artillery duels are taking place in the Austro- Italian theater.

 Referring to the passage of the eight-hOur law. MT Taft declared that "The governments surrender to force was the greatest national humil- htion to which the people of this country have ever been subjected" He said also that the delay of the administration in bringing the sharp issue with Germany Cover the sink ing of the Lusitania) to a head has exposed this country to the charge of weakness and vacillation.7 and Sub 1ected the nation to additional humil- iation in the sinking of other ships and the drowning of other Americans 7
 Mir, Taft said that the admins tration's course in actively intervening Co oust HSerta throws upon us the responsibility for the anarchy that has ensued.' and brought about "a strong possibility that we may have Co intervene in Mexico and tranquil ize inc country in the interest of civilization"
 Mir Marshall said the greatest glory of the Wilson administration was that "it had made in America an atmos- phere wherein men may breathe the pure air of equity and fair dealing. The enactment of the eight-hour law De sad. wns simply putting the opin. ion Of the people into a statute which is the business of legislatures.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

OSSlNING. N. r.. Oct. 19.-Riding in prison automobile truck, six in- mates of Sing Sing drove past guard and made their escape about noon to- day, Acting Warden Calvin Derrick announced tonight. The finding of the abandoned truck a half hour after the escape gave the first intimation that the men, all of whom were serving sen tences of from fifteen years to life, had fled
 Acting Warden Derrick, who took charge of the prison only this week, upon the resignation of Thomas Mott Osborne, said that Richard Hyler, the guard at the prison gate through which the truck passed, had been sus- pended pending an investigation.
 The truck, which was supposed to be used exclusively inside the prison walls, was driven by a convict who wore the uniform of a guard. Another man, in the regulation prison garb sat beside him. while the four others were hidden within the truck. The guard Warden Derrick said did not stop the truck nor look to see what it carried.
