MOSCOW WOMAN
TELLS OF FIRE
MRS. B, F. THOMPSON AN EYE W.T.
NESS TO THE WIPING OUT OF
HARRISON

Mrs. B. F. Thompson returned last
evening from Harrison. Idaho, where
for the past three weeks she had been
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Claude
Burton, and brings narrowing details
of the fire which wiped out Harrison
Saturday Mrs Thompson's daughter
lost everything she owned except some
of her best clothing and an armful OF
bed clothing which her husband tore
from the bed, as the flames reached
their home.
The victims of the fire are now liv-
ing in tents which were rushed from
Spokane along with large quantities of
food. Every business house in the
town was in ashes in less than an hour
after the fire started at 6 o'clock,
excepting the hotel and one bank, both
of which threw open their doors to the
refugees.
The fire started so early in the
morning that most of the citizens were
reused from their sleep, and escaped
with only their night robes and what
other articles of clothing they had
thrown around them 1t is the senti-
ment in Harrison that the business
men will rebuild as soon as material
can be taken iI.

Famine of Small Bills in Some Quar-

WASHINGTON - An unusual and
acute scarcity of one, two and five
dollar bills confronts the treasury de-
partment Multiplication of the gov
ernment's pay roll and excessive in
dustrial activity to fill war contracts
are responsible
To meet the emergency the treasury
is restricting the allowance of small
notes to banks to the number of "un-
fit" bills brought in for exchange
Previous custom was to let the banks
have small notes in exchange for notes
of larger denomination.

WOOD AT FRENCH HEADQUAR-
TIERS ON THE WESTERN FRONT
Germany has found the Chemin Des
Danes to be another Verdun. After
five days of continuous and herculean
assault the crown princes tInops
have nothing to show but unequalled
losses since the attack on Veaux in
April, 1916. There is every indication
that the enemy staged his assault on
Craonne, California, Casementes, Hurt
ebise, Cerney and Bray, with the idea
that the crown prince would be able
to telegraph the reichstag at it's open
ing the news of a great victory on the
western front. The German militar-
lists figured that this report of victory
would strengthen their power with the
German parliament and cause an i'm
mediate vote in favor of the credit
bill The Germans launched an eH-
ceptionally violent attack around
Craonne last night. The enemy pene-
trated the first line of trenches. French
counter attacks later drove them out
except in a small portion of the
plateau.
