BRITISH
VICTORY

AECbs w
LONDON, Feb. 10.-De-
tails today of the brilliant
British victory around Mir
aumont impressed experts
here with the preparations
Great Britain has made for
the offensive of 1917.
Two days fighting resulted in
ejecting the Germans from nearly
six square miles of terrain of
enormous strategic Importance
and the victory was achieved de-
spite the most severe handicaps
in weather.
The number of prisoners was
expected today to reach some
where near 1000.
Front dispatches declare the
German forces attacked were fully
aware of imminece of the assault.
They occupied the more favor
able position for defense opera
lions, being on the hills of Mirau-
mont. A heavy mist prevented
aircraft from estimating ranges
for guns and yelled the objective
for the men on the trench para
phets. The attack was carried
through with precision, exact
ranges being obtained through
previous reconnaissance. The
British did terrible damage to the
German trenches.

Because I love you so. Jim,"

Jim asked joyously. And Aunt

CHAPTER III.

For long hours that night Julia
lay awake and lived over the days
that preceded her coming to the
settlement house.
First was the thought of her
mother, frivolous, inefficient.
Emeline Cox had scrambled
through grammar school, then, de-
termined to escape the poverty
and dirt of her home in the Mis-
sion, had found work as a sales
woman In millinery store. Dur
ing her five years of employment
she was well enough pleased with
herself. She was happy beyond
all telling when at the end of
those five years she married
George Page, salesman for a line
of tailored hats.
Emeline was ignorant of what
was desirable in a home, and
George had only the crudest ideals
of a travelling man to guide him.
They enthusiastically selected the
flat of four rooms over the corner
saloon on O'Farrell street.
With the coming of Julia, Eme-
lines happiness began to wane.
BY the time the baby was weaned
the mother had formed the wrap
per habit and had slipped back to
the viewpoint of her parents: they
were poor people and the poor
couldn't afford to do things de-
Gently, to live comfortably. Eme-
line scolded ond snapped at
| George, shook and scolded the
crying baby and loitered in the
hall for complaining gossip with
other women of the building.
In the end Emeline recovered
her spirits, but not her happiness
in her husband. She turned now
to other women, finally choosing
as her set the group of actresses
employed in the cheaper stock the
aters of the city.
1t was at this point in Emeline's
life that Julia's recollection of her
began.
Distinctly Julia remembered
lhow, when she was six, her mother
land father had separated. Easily
Emeline could have held her hus.
band, though his affection also
had wavered. Had he but once
|came home to contented wife
and q clean house, his love would
have been regained. But Emeline
was Ioud-mouthed, assertivt
woman now, filled with a sense OF
her own wrongs. Goaded on by
her actress friends she went to SCI
a lawyer, who obligingly pointed
out and obtained for her solution
of her woes-divorce and alimony.
AS Julia lay reviewing the years
of the past she saw herself again
a girl of fifteen. the tough little
would-be actress" Emeline had
decided Julia was to go on the
stage, and Julia herself was but
waiting an engagement worthy of
her talents.

Change in Mail Route Requested

Change m Mail Route Requested
 Early this week a petition was sent to the postoffice de- partment requesting that mail for Keams Canyon be sent out of Holbrook, instead of out of Gallup as at pre- sent. The petition was sign ed by practically every busi- ness man in Holbrook and should it tresult in the desired change Holbrook will be greatly benefited.
 With the building of the two new bridges on the Keams Canyon road, which are already provided for, this route will be much better than the road from Gallup to Keams Canyon. Besides it is 25 miles shorter.
 At present there is a tenn porary mail route between Holbrook and Indian Wells; this will probably be made permanent and, if so, the carrier could continue on to Keams Canyon, provided the postofice department con- sents to the change request ed in the petition, which has already been forwarded.

Tax Cut Denied To Cattle Men

Tax Cut Denied To Cattle Men
 The state tax commission Saturday refused to grant reduction on assessments to four large cattle and sheep men of Navajo county at a hearing at the capitol build ing. In a majority of in- stances, the men were ask ing for reduction of 50 per cent.
 According to the tax com missioners, the assessments were made on the number of cattle or sheep as the forest permits called for. The com plainants set forth that their holdings were much smaller than the number on which they were assessed.
 In one instance, it is stat ed, an owner stated that he had no cattle or sheep hold ings in Navajo county; that all his stock was in another county. The tax commission immediately searched the assessment rolls of the other county, but failed to find an assessment against the indi- vidual. The commission, therefore, refused to reduce the assessment. ---- Arizona Republican.

Gopernor of NerU Mexico Dies


 Governor E. c. De Baca of New Mexico died late Sun day afternoon at St. Vim cents sanitarium in Santa Fe.
 Governor De Baca had been i'll for some time, fail ing health forcing him to take only a minor part in the campaign for his own cleo tion last fall. Barely a score of persons attended his in auguration, which was held in his room in a sanitarium early last January.
 Governor De Baca soon after nomination by the de- mocratic party for the high est state office, went to a hospital in Los Angeles where strenuous measures were taken to combat the disease from which he was suffering.
 When word came from New Mexico that there was serious doubt whether he le- gally would be governor If he failed to take the oath of office on the day the lieuten- ant governor took it, he de- clared he would F'return to Santa Fe to take the oath if he had to be carried there on a stretcher.' Physicians warned him that he ran ser ious danger Of shortening hls life if he left the hospital, but he disregarded their ad- vice. The strain of eXecu- tive responsibility told on him severely and further heroic treatment was resort ed to. He weakened stead fly but declined to give up his grasp of affairs, a stand which is said to have lessen ed his chances of recovery.
 Governor De Baca was 52 years old and a native New Mexican. He gained his education in the public schools of San Miguel county and the Las Vegas college. He gained greatest promi- hence, prior to his assump- tion of the lieutenant gover- norship in 1912, as editor of an influential Spanish news paper at Las Vegas.
 w. B. Lindsey, republican, lieutentant governor, auto matically succeeds to the ex- ecutive office and occupancy of the executive mansion within which Governor De Baca had not set foot since his election.
 After lying in state in the capital building in Santa Fe for two days, the body of Governor De Baca was taken by special train to Las Vegas Wednesday and was buried there Thursday.
