Willow Factory Thrives.

Orenco = Orenco has thriving up
to date willow factory. About year
ago, upon solicitation, Harry Jibe-
mann came to Orenco and started the
enterprise, and in one years time has
proved it to be successful venture.
He now has orders for baskets and
furniture calling for immediate and
future delivery and has been obliged to
reject many orders. The enterprise
has proved that on few acres of land
a living can be made by raising first
class willows for factory trade, and
working all second and third grade
willows into rough wood and market
baskets.

ALLIES START BIG
DRIVE IN BALKANS
Strong Offensive Begins Along Entire
Greek k-Serbian Frontier.
FRENCH CAPTURE FIvE.v|LLAGES
Austrians Retire From Gateway Into
Pass of Carpathians - British
Busy on Western Front.

London-The long-expected general
offensive on the Saloniki front has
opened and the grand assault againt
thes forces of the central powers now
is in progress in every theater of the
world-war. General .Sarrail is attack
ing the Bulgar- German forces along
the entire Greek-Serbian frontier, a
distance Of more than $50 miles.
Reports from both Berlin and Paris
indicate that the entente allies are fol-
lowing the same tactics in the Balkans
that signalized the opening of the
great offensive on the Somme. Small
bodies of troops are attacking at nu-
merous points along the Bulgarian
line, apparently with the intention of
feeling out their opponents positions
before the real battle opens.
The French report the capture of
five villages in the initial phases of
the offensive, while Berlin reports the
capture of Florina. Greek town Is
miles southeast of Monastir, from the
Serbians.
On the eastern front the Russians
have forced their way into the heart
of the great mountain barrier between
Galicia and the Hungarian plains. The
Austrians admit a retirement west of
Jablonitza, the gateway to one of the
most important passes through the
mountains, which was seized by the
Russians last week. In this district
the Austrians are retreating toward
the Chronahora ridge, the highest
point in the Carpathians in that re-
gion. From this ridge the ground
falls rapidly to the plains of Hungary.
Farther to the south, on the Buko-
wilma end of the battle line, the Aus
trians have been forced back in their
advance on Kirlibaba, the next pass
south of Jablonitza and about 80 miles
from that point.
Daily attacks by the British against
the German lines north Of the Somme
in France are having their reward, and
Sunday was reported the most notable
gain in some days in the region Of
Guillemont. After withstanding Ger
man attacks, the troops of
General Haig again assaulted the op-
posing trenches and gained from 200 to
600 yards along front of II miles.

NAVAL BILL MAY Be
DELAYED IN congress
Leaders Fear Appropriation Measure
Cannot Be Passed Until Late Next
Summer-Hearinss Lag.

Leaders Of the House are fearful that
unless the Committee on Naval Affairs
speeds up" the Naval Appropriation
bfli will not be reported until late in
the summer. The committee began its
hearings two weeks ago, Rear Admiral
Stanford chief of the Bureau Of Yards
and Docks, Navy Department. was the
first witness called. Admiral Stanford
appeared on the stand yesterday and the
Indications are that his testimony will
not be concluded until the end of the
week. Heretofore, the chief of the Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks has told his
story about the needs Of the naval serv-
ice In one day.
II things continue as at present IN the
Naval Committee. the prediction is made
by leaders that the naval bill will not
be passed before the end OF the current
fiscal year, thus necessitating the pas
sage of a joint resolution continuing
appropriations on the basis of the last
naval act. This would very materially
delay the fruition of plans for naval
expansion so urgently recommended by
the administration.
