/ tell you that America can thank
God for at least one great artist, and
one sterling, womanly woman, allied
in the one pretty. slight form of Maud
Powell.
do not wonder that the eastern
critics insist on comparing this wonder
full little woman with the greatest
male artists of the violin sphere. She
has amazing strength for one so slimly
built; and. yet. the more amazing
thing Is that she does not sacrifice the
faintest vestIge of that sweet delicacy
which, after all, is the noblest crown
Of true womanhood.
The foregoing is taken from the Los
Angeles Times. But all western critics
of music have acclaimed the noted
/, ,merican artist as one Of the tru y
great musicians of the age. She ap.
peals not only to the erudlte. the mus
ically learned, but to the novice. the
initiated, the man who loves melody.
There is something about'her playing,

reaches down to the very depths of
ones being and holds one entranced.

addressed the body. He urged them
to use their best efforts in the letter
writing campaign that is to be con-
Quoted throughout the state. Governor
Withycombe has set aside the week of
January II to 20 as letter writing

to lend every effort to have the Mosier
district cooperate in bringing eastern
friends to the state of Oregon during
the year 1916. whether or not they
come to Mosier. although he stated the
scenic beauties and climatic conditions
of this fruit growing district should be
advertised.
Less taxes will be available to the
City of Mosier this year than last.
stated Mayor Race, and valuations
will be considerably less this year on
account of the reduction of the railroad
right of way, the taxes on this having
been reduced to one half the former
valuation, which will make it $4S, 900
on each mile. On the other hand the
valuation has increased somewhat on
city property, but the city will not re-
ceive the same amount Of taxes as
heretofore for the present year. The
aim of the council should be improve

60 ahead and not let things run down.

Mayor Race suggested that the lum-

the scheme came to head.
He was arrested on the southwest

German submarine merchantmen
Deutschland set out from Baltimore
on a return voyage to Germany with
declaration of confidence from her
commander, Captain Paul Koenig, that
he would take her horne in spite of
the heavy odds she would face when
the three.mile limit in the Atlantic
ocean is reached.
Captain Koenig and his crew of
twenty seven men put tD sea with the
knowledge that a man hurried to a
telephone with message to agents
| for the entente allies that the Deutsch-
land had started They knew how
long he had watched a. the end of a
nearby pier day and night, but the
little captain went out of Baltimore
harbor smiling and waving his cap.
His last words in the harbor were of
praise for America and for his treat
ment here by Baltimore customs au-
thorities. To Guy Steele, surveyor of
customs, he said:
1--WE came here dubious about our
reception, We go back certain that
the friendliest of feeling exists in
America for Germany. You have been
more than courteous, and the father
land will not forget H."
Captain koenig knew that eight
warships of the entente allies were
awaiting for him at the edge of the
three-mile limit spread out in ra
dius of five miles 1--WE shall have tC
pass unseen within that radius in or
der to escape" he said, 1--WE shall
have to make that passage under con
ditions not entirely advantageous tt
us. Were the water al that point l5(
feet deep 1t would be easier. W.
could submerge deeply enough to pas
underneath the warships But The
water there is not $50 feet deep. w,
shall therefore have to pass between
the warships"

Forces Of German Crown Prince Fight.

London .--Verdun, almost quiescent
during the Anglo-French offensive in
the Somme region, has again become
the storm center on the western bat
tie front.
The French forces have taken the
offensive on the right bank Of the
Meuse and now hold the Thiaumont
work and the greater part of the vii
lage of F1eury, according to Paris.
The Thiaumont work. already the
scene of many desperate contests, was
twice in French hands during twelve
hours on Friday. The forces of the
German crown prince fought tenact
ously, driving the French from the
work once, but losing 1t again. Ger
man counter-attacks were OF no avail
says Paris, and the work remained
in the possession of the French.

day after the French had succeeded
in taking 1t, Is again almost entirely

Desperate counterattacks by the
