WOULD PRESERVE OLD HOUSE
PIans Made for Factoring Structure saia to Be the oIdsst in
 the NerthWest.

Plans are being laid by the VancOu- yer Historical society to preserve the old Covington house at Orchards, six miles from this little town. The house Is said to be the oldest in the north western part of the United States. It is of logs and is in a ruinOus condi- tiOn, being used as a sheepfOld. The historical society expects to restore 1t.
 The cabin was built early in the last century by Richard Covington. an em- ployee of the HudsOn's Bay company, when Fort Vancouver was the capital of the fur company on the western side of the Rocky mountains. It was the first schOOlhOuse in the North west. COvingtOn taught the children Of fur company employees and settlers there. Mrs. Elizabeth Bird, eighty five years of age, still living in Clarke county, Washington. was married in 1t in 1858 by Chaplain John McCarty, stationed at Fort Vancouver. This was a short time after U. S. Grant, after his return from the Mexican war. visited the fort.
 When Fort Vancouver was owned by tae HudsOn's Bay company, the com pany was ruler of three-fourths of the North American continent. It's do- mfniOn extended from Labrador to the Pacific and from the Arctic ocean to the, Spanish settlements in California. It moved its western headquarters to Fort Victoria on Vancouver island during the dispute between England and the United States over the Oregon boundary line. It surrendered it's sov- ereignty to Canada in 1870.

lacking strength, everything. This was done in January. Within fortnight the enemy knew it all. Ludendorff in his book of memoirs tells Us how a German raiding party captured, in the pocket of a dead French captain of the second division, the French plan of battle. The Germans had now two months in which to fit up as an abat- toir the ground which Nivelle meant to capture first. They drew back their whole line between Arras and the Brit ish right, futiIizing the great part of the intended British division Then they sent down to the Reims-Soissons' front the troops thus economized. Then they rigged up on the high flats of Vauclerc. and CFaOnne, where the chief hopes of NfvelIe's coming attack centered, such an aggression of ma chine guns and quick-tiring guns, hood ed with concrete and metal, as no troops ever had to face, before or af-e ter.-Manchester (Eng.)
