SUMMARY OF THE WAR
Paris Claims Gains for Allies on the

Striking simultaneously, the
British and French have made sub
stantial gains on the Somme front,

issued by Paris and London. Maure-
pas has fallen to the French, who have
pushed forward more than 200 yards

front, as described by Paris and Lon

of several villages.
Press dispatches from the Somme
front indicate that the French are
preparing for an extension OF their Of

st a cold-blooded graft"

The elimination of the case against
County Commissioner Peter A. West,
a report of which appears on the first
page of this issue, is typical of all
cases of this nature. Commissioner
West has at all times, conducted the
affairs of the county, in an able and ef-
ficient manner, and the fact that he
attended the county commissioners
state meeting in Helena, in January
1915, at the expense of the county,
is absolutely no discredit to him. At
the last meeting of the county CON-
missioners held in Butte in January,
Valley county was, we are informed,
the only county in the state not re-
presented. Every other county in
the treasure state had one or more
commissioners there and paid their
expenses to attend the meeting. There
was no commissioner present from
Valley county at the last meeting
despite the report of the Valley Coun-
ty News to the contrary, thus prov
ing the insincerity of the News at
tack against Commissioner West.

Riley-Riley

A quiet wedding was solemnized
at Glasgow at high noon Wednesday
Of this week when w. S. Riley, a pro-
minent farmer and homesteader of
this vicinity, was married to Mrs. w.
S. Riley, his former wife, in the pre-
sence of only immediate relatives and
friends. Judge Rapp performed the
ceremony which took place at his Of
fee.
A wedding breakfast was enjoyed
after which the happy couple were
taken out to the Riley homestead
where they will make their future
home. The trip was made in Judge
Rapp's car.
Mr.. and Mrs. Riley separated sew
eral years ago, the former coming
here and locating on a homestead.
while Mrs. Riley has been living in
the east. The reconciliation was
brought about through the efforts Of
the children.-Baylor World.

keeps up much longer our worthy citi-
zens will be rolling up the evening
paper and taking it down town every
morning to trade off for a half dol
lars worth of good cigars. But what
is the reason for this unheard Of
advance in paper prices? Although
Canada manufacturers have put an
export tax upon it the United States
permits its importation without duty.
In commenting on the present paper
situation, Goodwin's Weekly Of Salt
Lake City, says:
I'VE still have a few extra trees
left in Oregon and Washington and it
might be a good idea for the govern
ment to guarantee few paper-mak-
ing firms a price for their product for
ten years to come which would justi-
fy their putting up some new mills.
There is no more reason in permitting
paper to advance to an unbearable
price than to permit doughnuts to.
The daily newspaper is indispens-
able, They are not all worth read
ing but the people have them. The
public idea of the daily newspaper is
like that of the Missourian's idea Of
whiskey. "No, No." said he, "some
brands are better than others, but
none are bad" And the price of the
paper is large item. There are
many things the price of which often
battles any ordinary foresight, but
the price of the different qualities of
paper should never be permitted to
advance beyond a reasonable figure.
In the last few months ordinary print
ing paper has advanced from Is to
200 per cent. ~r'
We have no reference to the diff
Guilty and sometimes the impossibitity
Of getting, colored paper, but to just
plain paper. There has been no COM
plant for the past twenty-five years
that paper makers have been losing
money, and this last nearly doubling
of the price looks very much like the
last advance in the price of sugar
just a cold -blooded graft"
