rooms and overfowed on the focr
at the good roads meeting held in
Weston Tuesday evening. Wet
weather could not keep them away.
A standing vote was taken on the
state six million dollar road bonds
measure which comes before the
people in June. Nearly all pres.
ent arose to their feet in support #
the bill. This declaration Of scnti-
mnt is regarded as significant in
view of the fact that Weston cast
one of the strongest votes in The
county against the UmatiIla county
bonding measure defeated last fall.

vote was not taken blindly. Com.
prehensive explanatory speeches
were made by Representative Roy

BIG ADVANCE MADE
ON WESTERN FRONT

London.-British troops, continuing
their rapid advance on the heels OF
the retiring Germans. have occupied
the imortant towns of Nesle, Chaulnes
and Peronne.
Along a front of about IS miles they
have entered the German positions to
a depth OF 10 miles in places. In ad.
dition the British have taken more
than 90 villages.
Bapaume. for many months descris-
ell as a German stronghold, now is in
the hands of the British. The forces
of Emperor William apparently have
been compelled to give UP positions
that they have occupied for more than
two years, because of the terrific
bombardments to which they have
been subjected.
Psris.-The German line at last ss-
counts was in full retreat over Sec
tion which represents almost one-fifth
of the vast front from Switzerland TO
the sea closely pressed by the French
and British.
Two entire French departments,
those of the Oise and Aisne. have
been liberated from the German in
yader. The total territory now re-
gained is roughly calculated at 620
square miles.
This immense tract of reconquered
territory was trayersed by a CORE

horse and nice red wagon, with
an iron railing on top, loaded with
tinware, which he would exchange
for rags, iron, brass, etc. The hy-
draulic between the Touring mill
and the red warehouse had been
filled in and was used as roadway
long before the water power gave
out.
The hydraulic canal had practi-
cally been abandoned as a means
of furnishing power to the manu-
featuring establishments along its
line in the early seventies. 1t may
have been that the expenses of it's
upkeep, which were always large,
were too great to be met by the
gross receipts for power furnished
and still leave a balance out of
which to pay reasonable dividend
on the investment, or it may have
been caused by internal dissensions
among those having the enterprise
in charge. These facts were never
learned by me. But it is an undis-
puted fact that the originators and
promoters of the Perrysburg Hy-
draulic Canal Co. were sorely dis
appointed, and justly so, that their
efforts to make a thriving and
prosperous manufacturing town
out of our nice little village came
to naught. j. G H.
