(By the AMociateJ PrM.)
From the Mgion west of Soissons
to the northwest of Chateau Thier
ry, American and French armies
have begun a strong offensive
against the Germans, which possi
bly may have a nurked influence on
the future of the, world war. In
i initial stage the movement has
been rewarded wilh great success.
All along U.e 25 miles the French
and American troops have daohed

among old fnends and scenes. Mr.
McFarland has been residing at
Eugene, where he has property interests.
Two McCormick combines were
started Tuesday in Dry creek fields
and are now successfully in opera
tion. Even on side hills the ma
chines are found to work well, and
they are threshing cleanly. r These
machines were bought in partner
ship by A. W. Rogers and Roy
Tompkins and by Albert and Newt
O'Harra.
The little daughter of Alex
Schreiner, residing on the .Basket
uplands, sustained an operation at
Walla Walla recently for the re
moval of an abscess. Soon after
the patient's return home, it was
found that another daughter in the
family woujd have to submit to
the surgeon's knife, for the relief
of appendicitis.
A. P. Perry, formerly in the
meat market business at Weston, ia

Perry is visiting her sister, Mrs.
Fred Dupuis, at Weston. She is
quite ill, following an operation
for appendicitis which she sus
tained before leaving New York.
The Weston Library Board has

ed to be a substantial structure in
every way. No work of any con
sequence, however, has been done
on the Thorn Hollow approach, and
it is difficult to reach the bridge
from this side. This road, it is
said, was to have been improved
by donation.
George Brace, . ,well known at
Weston, was kicked by a horse Sat
urday at the ranger Btation on the
Umatilla, where he is employed by
the government, and "knocked out"
for a time. The hoof caught him
on the jaw and he took more than
the count. Rangers carried him
to the John Thompson residence,
where in the course of time he
again began to take an interest in
life.
The old Dry Hollow schoolhouse
north of town, a relic of pioneer
days, is being torn down by George
Carmichael, who bought it in order
to use the lumber in shed construc
tion at the Carmichael ranch. The
district consolidated with two oth
ers and now has a commodious new
concrete schoolhouse on Dry creek,
Ritzville, Pullman and Pomeroy
farmers have established the fol
lowing rates of harvest pay: Load
ers, $3.50 to $4 ; sack sewers, $5.50
and taking town, villages and
large quantities of guns and other
war supplies. Nowhere, according
to last accounts from the front,
has the enemy been able to stay the
progress of their afsaitants, al
though counter-attacks were icsort
ed to on tome imp rtant sectors af
ter the first ttages f surprise oc
caisoned by the unexpected attack

To the Americans alone in the re
gion west of Soissons came four
thousand prison -rs, thirty guns and
much war material. Additional large
numbers of captives and further
great stores of gur.s, ammunition
and other war necessities were tak
en by the French. I efore ail the
positions of the Americans and the
French their guns and machine
guns cut to pieces fleeing hordes of
the enemy or bands which endeav
ored to withstand the onnifh.
The blow, probably long in its in
