Another Great Mountain Range
Conquered by Electricity

The mighty Rockies, the Belt and
the Bitter Roots have bowed their
heads before the onward progress of
man-and the worlds commerce and
travel move uninterruptedly across
their rugged slopes transported by
the forces of the mountains themselves.
Giant electric locomotives, whose only
fuel is the limitless power generated
from mountain cataracts, lift the great
all-steel trains of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul Railway across the
ramparts of the Great Continental Di-
vide as if grades did not exist.
And now another great mountain
range, the snow-capped Cascades IN
Washington, is being made to yield its
treasure-store of energy to serve the
needs of man. Soon the bark of the
steam locomotive will be stilled there,
for the work of efectrifying the 211
miles of main line through this range
is well under way. When this section
is completed the Milwaukee, will
have 651 miles of its main transconti-
mental line under electric operation.
Mountain travel is given new
charm-no smudge of smoke paints its
dirty line across snow-cladd vistas
travel is smooth, silent, easy and clean.
When next you journey to the Pa
cific North Coast take either of those
famous trains, ''The Olympian" or
ssThe Columbian, over the trans-moun-
tain electric highway of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway.
Interesting travel literature and full
information concerning this momen-
tous electrical achievement may be
had from the local agent of this rail
way.

1t is expected that Saturday will be
chiefly devoted to the state champion

One of the chief events for profess
SIGNALS will be an attempt to lower
the track record of 1914 seconds, made
by Bob Burman in the famous Bitten
Bentz. Disbrow believes he can clip
a fraction of a second off this mark if
weather and track are ideal.
Citizens of Milwaukee have asked
that Disbrow make an effort to lower
the track record after the harness rae
ing program has been concluded on
Milwaukee Day, and perhaps this re-
quest will be granted.

around Lens launched another attack
or the western environment of the
French mining city reports the Reu-

headquarters in France. The attack
developed into one of the most des-
perate hand to hand battles of the
war;
When the Canadians went over the
top they saw masses of gray figures
advancing toward them in the thick
haze. Both sides had planned the at
tack at the same moment.
Fifteen minutes after the clash
came the Germans were making their
last stand on the parapet of their
trench. They then retreated rapidly.

The German attacks were especial
Nv severe at Ayocourt wood and north

by the Germans without success On
the Alsace front, near Cerny and

The statement follows:
ION the Cerny plateau the Germans
made attacks at three different points.
On two occasions our fire broke up
the assaulting waves, which were
thrown back, greatly weakened, to the
German lines. The other attack, west
of Hurtebise monument, also was re-
pulsed.
German Prisoners Are Hit.
Enemy aeroplanes bombarded po-
sitions in our rear, particularly col
lection camp for German prisoners,
of whom a large number were hit.
'In Belgium our aviators lombard
ed the railway stations at Thourout,
Roulers and Staden. In the region of
Verdun they bombarded the railway
stations at Dunsur-Meuse, Brieulles

Bancheville, where they observed a
great fire.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
I'm SANTA ROSA 60,

One of the most important actions
taken by the County School Board at
it's last session was providing for the
establishment of Domestic Science
Course in the County High School.
While they are making but a small
beginning, still it is beginning, and
will doubtless grow in Importance NJ
the years to come. They, at this
meeting, appropriated $4,000 to be
used in securing equipment for this
work, which will be commenced as
soon as the equipment can be Sc
cured.
This work will be under the charge
of Miss Pearl Tervin, the primary
teacher and Miss Winnie Warren, the
Demonstration and Canning Club
leader. Each of these ladies are well
qualified for the work, each holding
State Certificates in Home Economics
having received their training in the
Florida State College for Women.
While the seat of this work will be
