ALLIES HOLD ASCENDENCY American Forces Will Assure Great Successes in Spring Allies Are Wearing Out Enemy. Washington Secretary Baker in a review of military operations states in n report made Wednesday: "As the time draws near when mil itary operations on a large scale on the western front must come to a standstill, owing to the approach of winter, it becomes evident that the en emy does not feel himself in n posi tion to undertake the much advocated offensive action so often boasted o' at home during the past summer, in order to end the war victoriously by Christmas. "It may bo stated affirmatively that the usceniluncy in the west has defin itely passed to the allies, though the latter are content by tactics of attri tion to wear down the enemy, giving no rest or respite, until such a time as the force of our arms may make itself felt in tho field.

A fine rain visited this valley dur ing Saturday night, Sunday and Sun day night. When the clouds lifted on Monday, they revealed South and Flor ida mountains white with snow. Harry Mcbcrly was brought in from tho C ranch in the Junipers Friday night in a very much broken and bruised condition, the result of a run away in the fore part of the week A physician was called from Caldwell to attend him and pronounced him in a serious condition. One rib had pen etrated a lung. Two soldier boys rrom the 2nd Ida no, bilas shelton and a young man named Lovejoy, came i-ver here last Friday. On Saturday evening, as he was drawing a revolver from his belt Shclton shot himself in the foot, the ball entering at the ankle. Ho was attended by the Caldwell physician who chanced to be in town at the time, but the bullet was not found It then came out that the two boys were here without permission. They were taken back to camp at Boise Monday by James Parks. Tho shoot ng was an accident. Both boys were volunteers. E. A. Spraguc, cashier of the Quinn River Valley bank at McDermitt, and Graydon C. Crawford came in from McDermitt Sunday night. Mr. Craw ford had been substituting for Mr. Sprague while tho latter and his wife voro taking a two thousand mile auto trip through California. Mr. and Mrs. P. O. Duncan and their two son3, Leonard and Eldon, have gone to Boise for the winter, the two boys to attend school. Mr. and Mrs. George Parks are at their Hooker creek dry ranch, taking care of the harvesters, who are now threshing tho fine crop of beardless rye grown there this season. Dr. Jones, who has joined the navy medical corps and is now at the train ing camp on Puget Sountd, has se cured a capable physician to take care of his practice during his ab sence in the navy. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Azcuenaga and imily are attending tho fair at Boise his week. Mrs. Ed Maher Is in. Boise this veek. Harley J. Hooker and John M.

With he exception of four children's boxes, inly two sold below tho five dollai Call up the Eldredge Dairy for Milk and Cream Phone 50J Ontario, Oregon mark, the prevailing price being $7.50, and on up to $17.00. The net proceeds from the dance and boxes was $318, a check for $20 from Mrs. A. B. Az cuenaga bringing the amount up to $338, which was not half bad for one evening's entertainment.

The regulations demand that the men bathe twice a week and the rules are rigidly enforced. Each barrack has its shower baths with hot and cold water. All the conveniences of home nearly. The one thing which strikes us best is tho mess, we are served excellent food, a good variety, plenty of it and well cooked. Each regiment has a canteen, the profit of which go into a surplus mess fund, and every week we have an extra spread, so wo really live high. I know, be cause I have been to Wcstfall and have eaten at Joe Thompson's. There is a great deal of concern shown for the comfort of the men. Tho Y. M. C. A. has a branch right in the camp. Twice a week they have moving pictures, and every night there is some form of entertainment, box ing, wrestling, singing, lectures ana speeches, each night different and free to the soldiers, they also have bas ket ball courts and soccer fields, foot balls and baseball materials. They have placed in each barracks several different kinds of games with which the men may amuse themselves in the evenings. Yesterday we were sent to the hos pital the second time and those whose vaccination for small-pox didn't take the first time were re-vaccinated and we all were given the second shot in tho arm. Today tliere are some mighty sore arms in barracks. In an other week we get another shot and as tho second was worse than the first I hate to think of what the third will be. The effect the hypo has on some is very funny to the onlookers but exceedingly tragic to tho victim. Some of the men drop to the floor at the injection and one or two have fainted before receiving theirs, purely from the effects of the imagination. A word about the officers. Before we came we tnougnt we would run up against a bunch of crabbed, snap py old codgers, who would be just as disagreeable as possible. On the con trary the majority of them are young men from tho Presidio and gentle men all excellent men. There is al ready a bond of friendship existing jetween officers nnd men. Each re spects the other. The only unpleas antness in evidence is with the regu lars who were sent here to assist in drilling us, some of them feel as if it were a disgrace for them to be thrown among the conscripts, but not io with tho officers. And tho feeling among the men is the best, everyone is glad to be here, at least no one as yet has said different, and all take interest in the work and seem anxious to become good soldiers, if the rest of the men to come are of the same spirit and I believe they are, the Na tional Army will be a success indeed.
