defenders were forced to retire from

on, the conquest of the wood being
completed and an entering wedge
having been driven into the village.
Almost mmediately the Germans
delivered a heavy counterattack on
the troops who had penetrated the
hamlet and after stiff engagement
forced them to withdraw again to the

the British renewed the attack on
the village.

In the capture of Bourbon wood
and village the British have acQuir-
ed possession of one of the most
important points they have secured
since the great drive began last Tues

the Germans eventually will be fore

radiate from 1t forming natural bar

big guns of both sides, and that this
ancient town with its fine old ca

go the way of so many other places
which come under artillery fire.
Civilians Leave Town
A large amount of traffic in the
last few days has been pouring out of
Cambria toward the southeast, in
dicating the probability that the Ger
mans have evacuated the civilian
population and are preparing for
eventualities.
That the Germans attached the
greatest importance to Boulon wood
and the village was fully evidenced
by their strenuous resistance and the
intense counterattack hurled against
the British lines. Several counter
attacks were delivered by the enemy
Saturday. Some of them succeeded
temporarily, but the British imme-
diately pushed forward again and
regained the lost ground.
The fighting over wooded slopes
of this elevation has been among
the most spectacular of the war, for
the occupation of the forest was due

ARRESTS ARE INCREASING

From the police records Of the city Of
Silverton for the years 1915 and 1916
one might infer that the prohibition law
which went into effect in Oregon Jan.
uary ], 1916, was not a complete sue
cess SO far as this particular case is
concerned
During the year 1915, when there
were three or four saloons at Mt Angel
five miles from here, and saloons in va
rious other parts Of the county, there
were but four arrests made in Silverton
for drunkenness. During the year 1916
there we're II arrests, and five Of this
number were boys under the age Of q
years 1t might be said in favor Of the
law, however, that city ordinances have
been more rigidly enforced in Silverton
under the present administration than
they were the year before, and this may
account for the Increased number Of
drunks recorded in the police docket =

Another meeting of those interested
in the telephone situation was held
lin the City Hall last Thursday even
ling, Among those present were Mr..
Holloway, Pacific States Telephone
official from Portland, Manager Dancy
and three others interested in the pres
ent system.
Mr.. Halloway, upon being invited
by the chair, addressed the meeting.
He spoke of the expense of the system,
how the company was just about
breaking even and could not lower the
rates.
One Of the speakers referred to the
service getting poorer as phones went
out, and Manager Daney stated that
only one phone had been ordered out
since October /. A large number had
been ordered out after the raise in
rates. There are now 2S4 phones in
use, rs being business, 80 in the eoun-
try and 1l6 residence phones in the
city.
G. w. Waterbury, who was present,
thought it would be unwise to put in

was taken and the committee Of three

expert named Horelle, who made a
contract in 1911 TO wipe out the pest
and devoted three years to attempts
to do it, without accomplishing much.
D'Horelle's version, however, was
that he would have succeeded but for
the interference of the agricultural
