Important Action in South London,
| Sept. 6.-G:05 p.m.)-Austrians are
reinforcing the Germans on the west
ern front. Four Austrian divisions
nave been identified.
On the center of the fighting front,
the British have established them
selves east of the Somme canal as far
as Ham. Good progress Is being made
everywhere.
On the northern bank Of the Ailette
river the French are now firmly estab-
lished in positions taken from the Ger
mans.
Important developments are taking
place opposite the southern end of the
Hindenburg line.
IL is impossible to make a direct as
sault upon the main burtress on which
the line rests, but the allies are
working around it.
1T is believed by military experts
that the Germans may attempt to
make a stand upon the Aisne instead of
going all the way back to the Chemin-
des- Danes,
F'rench war critics took the opinion
today that the Germans would have to
retreat all the way to the Chemin-
des- Danes If not further.)
1876 German Divisions.

man divisions have now appeared on
the western front.
One hundred and one divisions have
been employed by the Germans since
the first of August, twenty-nine of
them twice.

Thursday, Sept 5.-The Germans to-
night are destroying bridges and flood
ing the country between Chauny and
La Fere, which is good indication
that they do not expect to remain much
longer in advance of their old line
which ran from La Fere to Barisis.
Today their retreat continued in day
light east of the Ailette river and their
columns suffered very heavy losses
from shell fire.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne,
French troops advanced to a line from

Evans. Mr.. jackson purchased the
property about a year ago. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jackson will make their home

Mr.. Jackson owns large lot near the
house. he has just sold where he ex-
poets to eventually build a bungalow.
A report was in circulation about
town this week that Grin Johnson, a
young man living on Ellemeham
mountain who enlisted in the service
last fall, was on the Tuscania, the
transport torpedoed during the winter
with the loss of number Of soldiers
and at the present time was confined
in hospital in Ireland from the ef-
fects of exposure in the water. There
is nothing to this report Mrs. Orville
Xix, sister of young Johnson, recently
received letter from her brother. He
is in France and in excellent health,

the present time, standing shoulder to

1t was tremendous job. owing to the
weight Of the crusher and the fact
that it was installed in a tower re-
quiring much labor and ingenuity to
take it apart and get it to the railroad.
The crusher was never used to any
extent and is just as good as new.
When once in working order this piece
of machinery will be valuable asset
to the town, and worth many times the
cost Of moving and setting up. The
crusher and a number of accessories
came as a gift to the town from the
several individuals laying claim to an
interest in it.
Mrs. NJ. E. Robinson went down to
Oroville Monday night, says the Nelson
Leader, for a few days visit with
friends. Mrs. Richardson called at this
office for a few moments Friday last
to exchange greetings, and it was very
much of a pleasure to meet her. Many
years ago, when both of us were very
much younger, Mrs. Robinson was in
business in Spokane Falls, and as an
advertiser in the old Review when that
paper was very modest daily we met
her frequently. And it is somewhat out
of the ordinary that pioneers Of early
Spokane should meet almost as pio-
neers in this comparatively new part
Of the state so far as development is
concerned. 1t is long cry from the
spring of 1884 to the spring Of 1918.

show the footprints OF time with the
accumulated years.

J. c. Martin is to at once build a

There are two more matches to

Conductor C. O. Sterling has excited
the lovers of angling by reporting that

At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon,

Herb Silvernail is making an effort
to organize home guard military
company at this place. He has secured
the necessary authority to enlist a
company and young men and school
boys are especially wanted. Let every
young man in town give in his name
and at least secure the benefits to be
derived from the drill. While young
men are somewhat scarce around town
yet between the young men remaining
and a few of more mature years
company of 40 or so should be secur-
ed.
r. L. Picken of Tonasket, was in
town for few hours Saturday. Mr.
Picken has earned reputation for
being one of the most successful road
builders in the upper part of the state,
success founded upon practical
knowledge of how to do it, and the ex-
ercise of honest effort in doing it. He
now has an extensive contract for road
work in Douglas county which he is
pushing through, and when completed
it will compare favorably with similar
work done in Okanogan and Ferry
counties.
Sunday morning the clocks of the
country were turned ahead one hour
and the 6 o'clock of last week is 5

change marks the circle of the dial.
This is intended to conserve daylight.
People commence work an hour earlier
and naturally stop work an hour ear
lier in the afternoon. This gives the
man who works on schedule an extra
hour of daylight for recreation or to
apply to work about his home. The
change back to the old system will
take place IN OCTOBER.
