The Allies. Russians Continue

Forces

London, July 5th-The entire
German second position south of
the Somme river over a front of
sixty miles has fallen into the
hands OF the French. who also
captured the village of Hem.
near the north extremity of
their line and also completed the
conquest Of Estrees.
The British line has apparent
" failed to advance, slightly in
certain sections. according to the
British war Office. None of the
ground gained. however, has
been lost. A further statement
of the British is that fighting
along the front is mostly in the
nature of local struggles, for
strong points. which indicate
that both sides are paying par
ticular attention in organizing
positions.
The number of German prison.
ers reported by the French and
British is above 10000, while
the German casualties are esti-
mated at 10000. The Germans
report the capture of a consider
able number of British.
Comparative quiet reigns
around Verdun, while the Ger
mans have opened a new attack
near the Lorraine frontier.
They entered the French trench
es here. but were driven back
by counter attacks.
Success of high Importance is
reported by the Russians. who
claim they have cut the railroad
running from Lemberg to Della
tyn. This is the main line of
communication for the armies
facing other parts of the Russ
ian front. Allied military ex-
perts have claimed if this was
ever effected it would force the
retirement OF Teutonic armies
over a wide front and possibly
put Lem berg at peril.
The Russian war office in a
late com munication also reports
the riot Of the enemy on the

Ten Thousand Per Cent

Last spring year ago." says
Farm and Fireside. "a ten year
cd neighbor boy was given ten
cents by his grandmother. He
purchased a package of cucum-
Der seed with his money and
grew a fine patch of cucumbers
for the local village market.
His crop of cucumbcrs brought
him a little over Sc. 90 in money,
all of which his mother allowed
him to keep and spend as he
pleased.
With one dollar of his money
he purchased a few things for
himself, and with the other five
dollars he purchased a ewe lamb.
By this spring his eve lamb had
grown to a mature mother and

RED LAKE VALLEY

The snow here has reached an average depth of about thirty inches. While the farmers are partially snow bound at present, they feel that good crops are in sight for the coming season.
 Mrs. Buchanan and family who have been visiting at w. F. Thomasson's for the past two months left for Gallup, New Mexico the first of the week. Roy Heaton is working in town this week.
 The children have been regu- lar in attendance at school since the snow. They find it easy slid ing as they all use skis in making the trip.
 L. w. Cureton who has been living on his ranch for several days has decided to move nearer town until the snow clears away.
 The manager of the Box K cattle outfit from near Anita passed through this section re- gently. He reports an eighteen inch snow in his section and is confident that all the watering tanks will be full when the snow goes of. But to make sure of it he is dragging his ditches to in- crease the water flow. He claims by this method that he has saved considerable water from the first snow which was very light com pared with this one. He is live wire in the stock business and does not care to take any chances where a little labor will make things sure. He informs us that he spent the holidays in Flagstaff and reports an excllent time.
 A few trappers are in the val ley at present trying to catch some of the large number of coy otes wintering here.
 Since the recent snow several of the farmers are making plans for a larger crop.

OAK CREEK ECHOES

For the first time in many years Sedona and vicinity are enshrouded in mantle of white. On the 18th heavy storm partly rain and partly snow fell. The northern part of the state seem ed to participate Tn the bounte- ous gift. The snow fell to a depth of somewhat over a foot in Sedona and vicinity. This is a very rare occurrence and while under ordinary conditions range for cattle is good it is safe to say the coming season will be an ex- ceptionally good one. Cattle men and ranchers have every reason to rejoice.
 In order to facilitate the work on the bridge the camp has been moved from the banks of Oak Creek up on the bench land next to the tent holding the cement for the bridge.

How the Bank Teller Succeeded the Barkeeper as Repository for the Pay-checks in Mine and Lumber Camps Where the Timekeeper Sees More Men on the Morning After Payday
BY GEORGE HERBERT SMALLEY (From Sunset Magazine)

Left to the men, Arizona would still be ''wet." It was not until the women were given an equal place with the men at the election polls that the change came on Jan- uary 1, 1915.
 Prohibition has worked a radical change, to which business, munich pal government and politics have not yet adjusted their affairs com pletely. Even the peace officers over the state do not quite know what to make of it. The rust has accumulated on the locks of many outlying jails so that they can't be opened with a key. There has been no occasion to open many of them. Even the city of Prescott did not have an arrest for three months last summer.
 Robbie Burns, the dauntless off, cer of Williams, spent most of his official time in former years wrestl- ing in the guttters with recalcitrant drunks and thugs; now he rides about in an automobile and wears a boiled shirt. One Sunday morn ing a few months after prohibition closed the saloons he vas standing idly in front of the empty police station gazing at the millennium which he saw gathering over Bill Williams Peak and enveloping what was formerly known far and wide as the toughest town on the Santa Fe. He watched the Mexi- cans and Greeks going to church with their wlves, and he thought of other Sunday mornings when he had led these same men off to jail to recover from Saturday night sprees.
 ''I can't tell a sheepherder now from travelling man for a candy house," Robbie declared. 'They are wearing wrist watches and the cowpunchers shed their horses be- fore they get to town and jerk their pants down over their boots. Can you beat it?"
 Marshal Robbie Burns vision of the millennium widened as he talk ed. He declared that if it were not for the hoboes who drop off the trains at Williams he would get soft in the arms.
 It is true that laborers have bank accounts who never knew what saving meant. The saving accounts of the States bank increased nearly a half million dollars in eight months. The total deposit in all State and National banks in Ari- zona increased S3,OOO, 900 during the same period of prohibition. At one of the logging camps of Northern Arizona recently the SUD- erintendent from headquarters was handed bundle of checks many of them three and four mouths old, and requested to deposit them in the bank to the credit of the differ ent owners. These men had never saved when the saloons were run ming. This is the beginning of the vice of thrift.
 I have examined the records of the sheriffs' offices and city police
