HtUt Vaards Attack.
Finnish white auards have attacked
the Mourman railway near hem,
mllea south of Mourmansk and 200
miles west of Archangel, but have been
repulsed by the entente forces. The
Bolshevik and foreign troops are act
Ing In harmony. ,
No previous mention of the fact that
British marines had been sent ashore In
Northern Russia to co-operate with the
Russian Bolshevik troops has been per
mitted by the censors.
The British and French troops which
have landed to reinforce the British
marines are protecting the railroads
from the Interior of Russia to the two
main sea outleta In the north the
porta of Mourmansk and Archangel. At
both these bases large quantltiea of
supplies, some of which had been
shipped from the United States before
the Russian revolution, have been
assembled.

In attacking the Russian railroad

White Sea. the Finnish white guard,
witch recently has received the sup
port of the tierman authorities, must
have pushed across the Finnish border
and penetrated Russian territory for a
distance of 10 miles in their efforts
to sever communication by rail with
Mourmansk.
Ing stations bad been established.
While mow of the weighty material
was lost, these fteld hospitals were
pulled back and not only that, but the

Wheeler, Tillamook County, With
Subscription of 1100 Per Cent,
Probably Leads Nation.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20. Sixty
per cent subscribed in the nrst two
weeks of the third liberty loan cam
paign is a record for the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District far greater than
that of either preceding: loan, it was
officially announced today. Of the dis
trict's quota of 1210,000,000, approxi
mately $126,000,000 has been actually
turned into the Federal Reserve Bank.
At the same period in the second
loan campaign it is believed not more
than 35 per cent had been subscribed.
Oregon and Washington are both over
the top. with subscriptions far greater
than their quotas.
More than 400 honor flaes have been
awarded, while in the firs? and second
loans not more than a score of com
munities had passed their maximum
quota in the first two weeks.
There are far more individual sub
scribers than in preceding loans, and
campaign leaders believe the number
of subscribers to the, third loan will
be greater than the combined number
of the first two. Washington had re
ported more than 70,000, Oregon a like
number, Utah 30,000, Idaho 25,000,
Arizona 10,000 and Nevada 6000. No
estimate has been mads for California.
Wheeler, In Tillamook County, Ore

11 stars on its honor flag, denoting
its quota exceeded by more than 1100
per cent. It is thought this will be
a record for the Nation.

slightly more than 600 barrels of cran
berries, while this season he expects
the crop will exceed 1600 barrels.
