OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 21. The

against holding a special election In

Frenc h aviators located the depot and
signaled the range to French gunners,
w ho dropped a shell on the roof and
exploded the powder. The shock was
felt for miles. French guns also de
molished several German fleldworki
In the same locality. The statement
says that after the explosion of the
of the depot French Inrantry charged
and captured several of the enemy's
trenches.
Furious fighting Is In progress be
tween St. Mlhlel and Mets, the ad
vantage alternating. In the forest ot
Apremont, the statement announced,
the Germans have been driven back
1T,0 yards and several lines of trench

Tills result was accomplished by
brilliant Infantry charges, the state
ment asserts, after the German post-.
tlons had been shelled for hours. The
Germans attempted to retake the po
sitions by a counter attack but were
repulsed with heavy losses.
The war office admits the Germans
captured several French trenches
northwest of Pont-a-Mousson, where
they continue the offensive. Along
most of the battle line In northern
France heavy artillery firing was an
nounced. The statement does not
comment on the renewal of German
cssaulta on Sotssons.

gotlations have been ' completed
whereby a $25,000 library building
will be erected here, with a donation
of that sum from the Carnegie fund
and that the sum of 17500 will be
given by the same fund for a library
building at Milton.
Though some legislation is desired
the board is now practically in shape
to proceed with the erection of a
bulld'ng here and it is the Intention
to begin at once the task of securing
plans preliminary to having the con
struction work carried out. It Is de
sired to have a very modern and suit
able building erected. The plans
must be submitted for approval to
the Carnegie board but aside from
this and the fact a definite annual
maintenance is insisted upon the don

for Milton Is contingent upon main
tenance lelng' guaranteed by that
city. The plan of the board Is to se
cure a way wherwy In time branch
buildings may-te erected In all the
towns having branch libraries and
legislation to this end has been Intro
duced at Salem. If It goes through It
will be possible for the county to erect
buildings In the different branch li
brary towns provided such communi
ties meet one half the cost and pro
vide for the maintenance.
$50,000 Was Asked.
The negotiations with the Carnegie
people have been underway for some
time and were conducted by Judge J.
W. Maloney in behalf of the library
board. Originally 1 50,000 was asked

District Warden Averill will pre

study is Intended to give them a
thorough knowledge of the game
laws, a knowledge of the different
kinds of game birds and animals as
well as of fish and predatory animals
and a knowledge of the geography
and topography of the county. After
they have been given an opportunity
to verse themselves In this lore, they

whether or not Mr. Dyer, under the

bonds and stated that before they
would accept the bonds they would
like to have the courts pass upon Mr.
Dyer'e title to office.
Accordingly at an adjourned meet
