La Crosse, Wis, will move part of his
mill to Hood River and set 1t up on F.

from White Salmon and other points

London.-The successes of the en-
tente allies are following each other

news of further important gains for

ern fronts, arousing enthusiasm
among the British public hardly less
than that caused by the reception OF
the first news of the allied offensive.

Haig shows that the steady pressure
of the British arms is forcing an ever
deepening salient into the German
lines. and the commander-in-chief for
the first time produces evidence in
the shape of documents captured
from the Germans giving testimony
as to the high price the Germans are
paying in casualties.
The British have improved their po-
sition along almost the whole OF their
line of the battle front, capturing by
assault 1900 yards of German second
line positions north of the Bazentin-
Le-Petit wood, strong German posi-.
ton at the Waterlot farm between
Longuevale and Guillemont.
They also have completed the cap
ture of the whole of the village OF
Ovillers- La -Boiselles. These gains
bring the British almost to the crest
of the Albert plateau, where stretches

News from the eastern front was
equally important. The Russian com
mander, Gen. Kuropatkin, has
launched an offensive against Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg on the
Dvino river, and Gen. Won Linsingen's
troops southwest of Lutsk have been
compelled to retire behind the Lipa

Hen Hatches Woodpecker.

It is unusual for hen to hatch out
a woodpecker, but an instance is re-
ported by Ira Cordrey, a farmer liv-
ing near here.
The hen had been missing for some
time. When found she was mOthering
II baby chicks and one tiny wood
pecker, which appeared perfectly hap
py to let the hen scratch worms for
it, and the hen is paying just as much
attention to the little woodpecker as
it is to her brood Of chicks.
The woodpecker's appearance is ex-
planned on the supposition that a
woodpecker laid the egg in the hens
nest while the hen was off looking for
food.-Federalsburg (Md.) Dispatch
