TIME FIGHTS ON THE SIDE OF
THE ALLIES.

Military observers report that while
the Germans in Picardy and Flan-
ders are keeping up necessarily their
prererations for a resumption of
their spring offensive, there is as yet
no indication that an attack on a
large scale is Immediately imminent.
The longer the delay the stron-
er the proof that Fritz was dazed and
demoralized by his previous drive.
There is no question that his armies
were badly shot up and the morale
of his forces shattered. Another
such ordeal, with his military objec-
tives unattained, would be terrif-
fic shock to the German nation.
1t is vastly important in warfare
to measure correctly the strength and
resources of the enemy, and equally
a mistake to either overrate or to un-
derrate them. For example, the al
lies have made the grave mistake in
past years of undertaking Germany's
economic resources-of thinking she
could be brought to terms by food
shortage and exhaustion of other mil
itary necessaries. That expectation
has been all but discarded recently
and the allies have about settled
down to the belief that the war must
be won entirely by the feats of arms.
1t may be so, but indications are
coming out of Germany that economic
wastage is telling on the enemy's en-
durance. The German wireless press
admits that in view of uncertainty
concerning supplies from Ukraine the

THE ELECTION.

The primary election has come and
gone with the majority OF the citi-
zens of Oregon taking such little in
terest that they never went near the
polls. However, those that did,
showed by strong vote that the time
worn phrase of not swapping horses
while crossing over. is still very much
in vogue.
The United State is at war. Nat
urally men who have made an excel
lent record as war officials should be
retained. Hence the overwhelming
vote for both Senator McNary and
Governor Withycombe is to a large
extent accounted for. Both men have
made excellent records and now have
an united Republican party behind
them to insure their success in the
November election.

the state, but Morrow county gave
him a substantial lead over Senator
McNary. Being an Eastern Oregon
man with interests identical with the
people of this section, made Mr.. Stan
field the favorite candidate in this
county.
Mr.. Stanfield has already demon
strated the fact that he is man big
enough to fill chair in the United
States Senate by showing that he is
number one loser and has pledged
his full support to Senator McNary.
In the county there was but one
contest This was the republican
nomination for sheriff. Although

"The Eight Mile people displayed
the greatest patriotic fervor | have
yet encountered since the war fund
drives started" said c. E. Woodson,
Heppner attorney who addressed a
large audience at the Liberty school

the speaking, the Eight Mile citizens
raised $3.50 without an effort.
The Eight Mile auxiliary of the

and only recently sent in a large sum
of money to aid in the county work.

AT THE W. 0. w. CAMP

The Woodmen of the World held a very interesting meeting at their camp last night. Officers were in- stalled and two candidates balloted on. On occasions of this kind the camp is kind of clearance house for the sovereigns who wish to unload their enthusiasm, and tell good things about the order. One of our visiting sovereigns who has the earmarks of sniper, said that the planetary as- poets at the present time indicated by the astrial chart showed that the w. o. ". was one of the most patriotic orders in the world, that it had over twenty thousand choppers in the war and they would make the skies so dark in Germany with their air-planes that they would have to carry lan- tern to find the kaiser's goat. Loud applause from the allies.) By this time our visitor had switched to high and was throwing gas bombs on the Germans, and no doubt he would have landed in one of the front sectors with deadly effect, if our consul com mander had not censored his remarks on the ground that he was giving out too much information that might get into the hands Of the enemy. It's all right, brothers, to disgorge yourselves of your patriotic feelings and DOT tion of the refreshments on occasions of this kind, it will make you feel better.-Clerk 33

DISASTROUS FIRE
 THIS AFTERNOON
Fire of Unknown Origin Des- trOys the Large Residence Built by the Late H. E. Bemis. Also o. H. Helbig's Residence

In the face of a strong fierce wind rom the west, fire which started with the large twenty-room unoccu- pied resident built good many years ago by the late Horace E. Bemis. near the Ozan mill, was completely de- stroyed and immediately spread to the residence in the same block which was occupied by o. H. Helbig, and al- though scores of men worked with buckets and the fire boys used the city hose as well as the mill company's water works, the fierce heat from the Bemsi residence overcome the efforts of the fire fighters and soon gained sufficient headway with the aid of the wind, anda it was a pile of ashes in short time. The fire was discovered little after 1 o'clock.
 The fire fighters attention was then called to the nearby residences, a number of which were just across the street, each being built within about thirty feet of the other and the avail able water supply was taxed to its utmost to save two of these resi- dences, which at times caught fire in spite of the streams of water which played upon them constantly. An other force of fighters were kept busy throwing streams of water on the Prescott & Northwestern and Ozan Mill Company's offices, which are about 150 feet east of the Bemis resi- dence, and while the outside was kept soaking wet with the hose, the inside caught fire from some source, but was soon extinguished, and constant watch had to be kept of all sides while the fires ragged. On the west side near at hand are the machine and car shops of the company and south is the Ozan saw mill and stacked on the yards are over 10,OOO,0OO feet of pine lumber, the largest amount ever on the yards at any one time prev iously, which condition is forced on the company because of the fact that the blaming mill which was burned a few months ago is not in operation and the rough lumber is awaiting the planer before it can be shipped It seemed as though Providence took a hand in directing the wind which, had it been blowing in any other direction than south, the loss would have been many times larger.
 The Bemis residence had not been occupied since the death of its builder, about three years ago, but at the time it was constructed it cost about $12,- 900, every board and plank in it being perfect and was said to be the most handsomely finished in Prescott. It was composed of twenty rooms, steam heated from a furnace in the base ment.
 The loss by MT. Helbig is placed at about $3,000, part of the household goods being saved. We understand both houses were fully covered by in- surance.
