A favOTite stroll of his was along
the city edge, where a broken stretch
had been developed into striking pic
turesqUeness, and a number of fine
residences had exclusive location. At
one spot a pretty rustic bridge
spanned a gully with a hayward
stream trickling through. He paused
there, leaning on the railing Of the
bridge.
The surroundings were magically
enhancing in the clear white moon
light and conducive to quiet thought,
but Moore brOoded. Something had
gone out of his life. The first child
of his brain had been Tuthlessly ban

He jerked the roll of manuscript
from his pocket in a resolute way
and gave it a vehement fling far as
he could beyond the bridge. A breeze
was blowing, and the leaves separ-

settle down along the edge of the "a

as lovely bits of naturalness and

CADORNA'S DRIVE ON TRIESTE
A SERIOUS MENACE TO POLA
Austria's Great Naval Base in Danger
Of Being Cut OF

Today's sdvIcss from Rome are 10 the
effect that General Cadorna's troops, en-
gagged now In n fresh drive on the chief
Austrian seaport, are grlpped in battle with
the Austrians in zone only nine miles
from Trieste. The entire line Of the Carso
Plateau, that Is of that section OF the
plateau which Is known as Carso Goriziano,
covering the approaches 20 Trieste, has
fallen before the attacks OF the Italians
but the Austrians have defended 10 valiantly
and not without reason.
The fall OF Trieste, which is expected be-
fore the winter season, renders improbable
a new. grand offensive, not only means for
Austria the loss OF her only great seaport,
but serious menace TO Pola, the great
Austrian naval base. as well. II is we'll
known that while Cadorna's immediate OBJ
jective Is Trieste, his strictly military OBJ
jective is Laibach, where the whole OF the
Istrian Peninsula can be cut on ffUm the
rest OF the empire.
The naval base of Pola, however, can be
cut Off only comparatively short distance
from Trieste, less than eight miles 60 the
east, by n successful advance of Cadorna's
troops on the single railroad which crosses
the peninsula from north TO south. pola is
connected TO the rest OF Austria by this
single railroad and should this be cut east
OF Trieste. the naval base could he supplied
only through ordinary roads or from the
sea. In the first case supplies or troops
would not reach it but too late in case OF an
emergency. In the second case, supplies
and troopshps can he stopped by a blockade
of the Quarnero Gulf. Moreover, the only
good road crossing the Clcceria section of
the Carso, that is the highest section, is
that OF Tzercvenl road which leads from
Fiume to Plsino and is quite heavily graded,
presenting all the difficulties of an alpine
road, though running very near to the Quar-
nero shores
Hence the obstinscy Of the Austrisns In
defending the approaches TO Trieste, the fall
of which would open the way for land and
sea operations against Pola.

EAGLE CREEK TRAIL
WORK Is BEGUN

The Forest Service has a crew of 16
men building a new trail up the Eagle
Creek valley of the Columbia Gorge
park. Besides building the trail, this
crew will prepare number Of camp
sites in order to make the recreational
features of the region available for
public use.
This Eagle creek project is the first
of many development plans to be car
ried out for the park. The trail will
follow the creek up into the Oregon
national forest, and then on to Wahtum
lake. From the lake there is trail
down Herman creek to the Herman
ranger station and the Columbia high
way, thus completing 26 mile loop.
Parties wishing to make this loop trip
can do so in two days, camping over
night at Wahtum lake. The Eagle
creek work also contemplates other
trails to points of scenic interest, and
a general pareparing of the area for
the comfort and use Of the public.
The whole. area of the Columbia
Gorge park consists of 14,000 acres
along the Columbia river between
Eagle creek and Viento. which was set
aside last December by order of the
Secretary of Agriculture for the perm
anent use of the public as recreation
park. The full development Of the
park will take several years, and will
include picnic grounds, many camp
sites, and additional trails. but it can
be used this season in its present state.
A water supply has been installed and
a sewer system built. A ranger has
been stationed at Eagle creek to look
after the grounds this season.
