The west has ever had a difficult time competing in eastern markets. The ad vance in freight rate* will put us in a more difficult position, for the 25 per cent will be added to a rate already much larger than that paid by our com­ petitors and is computed from our al­ ready higher rate. For example, if our rate is now $1.00 and that of our competitor is 50 cents, we will have 25 cents added to our rate, while our competitor will have only 12,/j{ cents added to his rare. A thing that puzzles the uninitiated is why the 15 per cent advance in rates asked by the railroads under private operation .was refused, while a 25 per cent rise is found necessary under gov­ ernment operation. Government operation is a war neces­ sity, but the fellow who pays the freight will vote to have them go back to private operation as soon us the kaiser is licked— and we have got one more reason for wanting to give him a sound thrashing. Edgar B. Piper, who edits a paper up in Portland, has been down on the Mc­ Kenzie on a fishing trip, being aecom panied by I. N. Flashner, member of the fish and game commission. When an ed itor goes fishing the fish and game commission doesn’t leave it to the or­ dinary officers of the law to see that the limit on a d a y ’s catch is respected. Hindenburg is said to be sick. If we had a face like his and a job like his, w e ’d be sick, too, but w e ’re inclined to believe that thp story of his illness is mere camouflage to be used as an expla nation for the failure of the present German push on the west front. Card of Thanks. We wish to extend our thanks to our friends of Blue Mountain anil Cottage Grove for the beautiful floral tributes and their kind assistance and sympathy during our mother’s illness and death. KBS. F.

(Concluded from last week) NEWS OF THE WAR The allies, in the last 30 days, have destroyed more than l*"i enemy air­ planes on the Italian front, it was of­ ficially announced. French airmen brought down 322 enemy airplanes (luring March and April, as compared with !»»> French airplanes lost In the same period. A Polish contingent has just ai rived at a French port from the Inited States. Tile Poles paraded through the streets with a band at their head and received an enthusiastic greeting. Troops of the new American army have arrived within the zone of the Bri.ish forces in northern France and are completing their training in the area occupied by the troops which are blocking the path of the Germans to the channel ports. This is the fifth section of the front where Americans have been located. The others are: East of Luncville, northwest of Tool, north of S Mihiel and on the heights of the Meuse and In the Montdidier sector of Picardy. Control of the air no longer belongs to the Germans along the Tool sector. Aerial activity there seems to be In­ creasing dally but the Germans are not permitted to prowl about freely. Fighting American airmen have locked wings with the enemy aud the i tally of machines brought down -Is I overwhelmingly In their fuvor. In fact, they have had such good lortune that they are wondering whether it can keep up without change. They t are not passing by a single chance to get at the enemy. British aviators made a daylight raid on Cologne (Koeln), the big fortified German city on the Rhine. They dropped 33 bombs on the railway sia tlons, factories and barracks. Metz, the big German fortress In Lorraine, [ also was attacked by British fliers, who dropped tons of bombs on the railway stations. City.
