Opening of bids for the transcrib

AUXILIARY CRUISER
SUBMARINE VICTIM
LONDON, Jan. 29. The British
auxllllary cruiser Laurentlc, of
14,000 tons, formerly a White Star
liner, was submarined oft the Irish
coast. It is announced.
VALOR IN GREAT WAR
aviators who are aces, yet whose
names have never appeared outside
the official Becrot communiques cir
culated among the higher staff of
ficers only.
Here Is a concrete example. A
certain lieutenant of the Royal Fly
ing corps was mentioned tn one of
those communiques. It seems he
had engaged an enemy aeroplane,
fought a duel with it among the
clouds, and downed it fairly and
squarely. Hoping to make an ex
ception of this case, permission was
sought to jise the aviator's name.
It was courteously, but firmly, re
fused. What he had done was not
to hla own personal glory, but to
the glory ot the R. F. C.
And when the Royal Flying corps
Is asked about it, it Insists the honor
Is the army's.
So it goes. The Canadians pool
their glory with the South Africans
and the Anzacs and the Irish and
the Scotch and all tho rest, and alto
gether they heap It Into the lap ot
Brltatnla, It Is trite to say it is a
war ot anonymous heroes, but that
Is JuBt what It Is, and tho British are
so very, very anonymous about It
that they run the risk of having the
world say they cant be doing very
much. Nor do they care, apparently.
Tholr idea is that a hero who is a
horo because ho has an audience Is
not a real horo. The roal thing does
a brave Act because he can't help
doing It, and when It Is done his own
satisfaction ovor having done his
bit as best he could, without shirk
ing, Is the best reward ho can have.

Rifle and Three Head Wolves,
Point to TraKlc Fate.
(BrUalUdPrmttTtaDillrBulUtln) '
GOLD HILL, Or., Jan. 29. It la
believed that a pack of timber
wolves killed and devoured John
Hammersly, a government hunter,
on Willows Flats, in Jackson county,
within the last few days.
Hammersly disappeared, a short
time ago, and searchers started out
soon after to seek traces of blm. The
rescue party found only the gnawed'
bones of a man scattered about on
the ground, a rifle, shreds of cloth
ing, and the dead bodies of three
wolves, mute evidences of a deadly
combat.
All indications pointed to a des
perate struggle having been waged.
It Is believed that Hammersly had
fought off the wolves until his am
munition was exhausted, and then
succumbed In the unequal conflict.
INDIAN PREDICTION' FULFILLED,
WHEN STORM. ALMOST BUZ
ZARD, IN SOME SECTIONS,
VISITS COUNTRY.
Dust swirls gave way to snow
j swirls and the Warm Springs In
dians' prediction of "heap big snow.
in two weeks, was fulfilled, when a
flaky covering was deposited at in
tervals from Saturday night until j
this morning. In Bend, the precip
itation in a water equivalent, reach
ed only .04 of an Inch, while the
snow depth Itself, was approximately
two inches, but In several sections
near here,, the storm amounted to a
veritable bllxzard. - As no extreme
cold was attendant no suffering
among stock has been reported in
consequence. ' - '
Drifting rapidly, the snow "blocked
roads in the vicinity of Bend, par
ticularly the one to La Pine, where
autos starting ont yesterday, were
forced to turn back without com
pleting the trip. Drivers reported
that the snow wss so dry, that when
found at any depth at all, the wheels
would absolutely ' refuse to take
hold.
' Local climatic conditions indicated
that the light fall of snow so far re
corded is only a forerunner of more
to come within the next 24 hours.
