"kTtlirch was evacu.,-! by the Ger.

"STtkirch was evacusI=i by the Ger. mans two weeks ago, and not for the reasons put forward by the Basel newspapers. The Germans have insin- ua-ed that the civil population was withdrawn because Of the arrival of fresh troops to undertake an offensive in this sector. but the truth is that the lower part of the town is flooded, as it usually is at this period of the year. and the French advance towards AltkircD has made the town unhealthy for the civil population.
 Hartmannsweiler-Ko is likely to figure in the French communiques for some time to cone, for the Germans will never give up their counter-at- tacks until they are driven away from their side of the hill. Surprise at tacks here are always to be expected, for both sides now know every inch of the ground. and on the summit of the hill the German and French trenches are only about five yards apart. This seems impossible. but t must be remembered that it is the in dividuality of the soldier that counts for everything.
 Twelve Battles a Night.
 Very often battle lasting some hours will take place for the posses sion of a mere stump of a tree, and a tree stump has been ';nown to change hands twelve times during the course of night. An account given to me by French soldier of recent French offensive on Hartmannsweiler-Kop is dramatic in its simplicity. This man has taken part ir no fewer thar fifteen battles for the hill
 "'The crest of the hill was white with smoke he says. For two days both sides had left the top of the hill. because both our guns and theirs were ;a';'nr the ground. We had buried the German dead the first time the erect came into our possession, but their big shells, rom a battery of Austrlan guns, 305's, disinterred their dead, so that when we charged we stumbled over arms and legs and limbiess trunks.
 Our attack was launched rom three sides; the first charge only took US forward about 1J5 yards. and then tions; it was heartbreaking. Before we could attack agaIn the enemy sent up re-enforcements. but something must have gone wrong, for hundreds of their men were cut down by their own artillery firing from the ruins Of the Hitzstein chateau.
 We ceased our attack when night fell, but our artillery redoubled its fu- rious bombardment of the enemys trenches. Their guns fired at ours, and ours fired at theirs and at their trenches. Thirty feet below the ground. snug in our dugouts, we could fee. the earth trembling. The Ger mans kept their men in the trenches because they never knew when OUT ar tillery would cease firing and OUT in fantry attack begin again. That is why we captured more than thirteen hundred prisoners. They were hag- gard and shaking when they were marched into our lines, for no soldiers on earth could stand what our artil- lery gave them.
 We had very slight losses, com paratively, when we stormed the posi-. tions the next day, and if it had not been that the enemy had a few ma chine guns undestroyed by our fire our losses would have been very much smaller.

NEWLANDS HAS BILL FOR
UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT

Senator Newlands has introduced
a bill in congress providing for an
appropriation of $4,000 annually
for the University of Nevada. to De
used in the establishment of engin-
eering stations in Nevada.
Meager information concerning
the bill is contained in a telegram
sent by Senator Newlands to James
d. Finch. The bill provides for the
establishment of engineering stations
much the same as agricultural exper-
iment stations are established under
the provisions of the Smith-Lever
bill. Senator Newlands' telegram on
the bill follows:
"I have introduced on behalf or
the land grant colleges a bill provid-
ing for the establishment of engi-
neering stations. This measure be-
ing explained to various members OF
the committee on agriculture by
President Hendrick as the represen-
tatiye of the executive committee OF
the Land Grant Colleges Association.
The bill means a further appropria-
ton of $4,000 annually for the Uni
versity of Nevada"
In an address delivered last year
at a meeting of representatives of
the association. Senator Newlands
told of his intention to father such a
bill. The association at that time ad!
vocated the policy embraced in the
Newlands bill.

of the Fernley-Lassen branch line
has been inaccessible to all except
owners of automobiles or parties
who could spare the time to indulge
in a few days spent on the road in
teams. The great attraction o. the
place has been the fishing. and in
this respect is probably without a
peer in any body of water in the
west. Although the shores of the
lake and the surrounding mountains
are totally devoid of trees or verdure
of any sort, they still possess a charm
and attractiveness all their own. The
changing hues of the water. as 1t is
rippled by the passing breeze. the
Kaleidoscope colorings of the sur
rounding mountains, with their fam
tastic rock formations, softened and
blended by the indescribabie ~purplish
haze that is characteristic of the des-
ert atmosphere. make a picture that
has a strange appeal, and explains
why many prefer Pyramid lake to
famed Tahoe.

SHELTER AT THOMPSON
MAY RESUME SHORTLY

A report comes from Wabuska Civ
ing grounds for a hope of immediate
action on the part of the smelter
people. Five men were hired last
week and put to work repairing cart
ridges and water pipes, while two
more were taken on the latter part
of the week to repair furnaces. This
can only mean two things. The smell
ter people are getting ready to start
operation, or else only keeping the
property in repairs. 1t is reported
there is a consolidation of the Balla-
kalla Blue Stone and the Mason VAL
ley. Rumors of this character have
been abroad for ZONE time, and the
people hereabouts are prone TO put
little confidence in them yet the per-
sistence of this rumor leads to the
hope that it might possibly be true.

". Z. WILL ENTER RENO
OVER TRACKS OF n. G. o.

Two contemplated railroad prof.
ects one by which the Hill lines might
enter California and the Western Pa
cific extend a feeder to Reno, New,
were disclosed in an argument be-
fore the California railroad commits
sion recently. An attorney for the
eyada-California-Orego railroad
said that representative overtures
been made by the Hill lines for the
use of the n. C. o. rails from Lake
view, Ore, to Alturas, Cal. he
said the Hill interests had made sur
veys from Alturas through the Pitt
river n Y to Sacramento.
The Western Pacific, he is credited
with saying. wants the use OF the
tracks of the n. C. o. from Doyle,
Cal, to Reno.
The n. C. o. asked the state rail-
road commission for authority to
issue $4,000 in bonds to cover the
cost OF extensions already under way.

Hill lines are to use the n. G. o.
rails a new rail would have to be
