HOW DO YOU LIKE T?
Ono week of the, reduced mall !
scrvico has caused no end of in
convenience and grief to the pco
p)p of the Panhandle in oncrnl,
and all are unanimoim in declar
ing tho order that cut out the
six-day mail as unfair, unjust,
and detrimental to the welfare c-f
the cntiro district affected.
Investigation has shown that
thb railroad is undnr federal con
trol, and that the order cutting
off three trains a week was issued
without the sanction of the P. 0.
department. Why the order was
issued is hard to understand, for
it means a loss to the govern
ment and not a Rain, as thcloco
motive and coaches used on the
lino arc unfit for main lino ser
vice and, )ikc the employes, will
bss idlo four days each week. The
rural and star route carriers are
making regular trips as per con
tract, although on half of their
trips the mail can bo carried in
their vest pockets. Receipts nt
the postofllccs in the djslricts
show n decrease ns hundreds of
letters arc carried to Baker for
hmaijlng.
Congressman SInnott Is work
ing to have tho old service rein
augurated, temporarily at least;
ami unless assurance is given
that it will bo permanent action
will be .takm to have an overland
Burvice established from Baker.
Size Doesn't Coupt.
Old Si Chestnut says: "If size
counted, a cow could catch a
jnckrabbit,"
True, isn't it? Thosamo thing
in true about tho sizo of a bank
account. It isn't always tho size
of it that counts. Wo welcome
all accounts, great or small, and
give one as careful attention as
the other. It isn't so much the
olzo of tho account that is impor
tunt to you as tho fact that you
have started. Begin , today if
only with a dollar to deposit. You
will take pride and satisfaction
in making tho nccount.grow.

LETTER FROM FRANCE
Mr, and Mrs'. J. M. Chase are
ip receipt of a letter from their
son Story, dated July 15th, from
which wo tako the following:
"Wo aro hero (in France) at
last. Had a fine trip but was
eick two days on the boat, after
that I was fine. Had a fine trip
through Englandit is. a pretty
place; tho farms are small and all
have a hedge fence arounJ tham;
all streets arc narrow and the
houses arc built together in rows.
Every kid. says 'Penpy.'
rue little I'rencnman is tht
people over hqite for me. They
sure treat us fine and aro glad to
sco us. Thoy sure have got a
nice place here and some fine
wine, but you know wo don't get
very much of the wine.
Thoy all think wo will be done
here next spring and I hqpe so
as the old U. S. A. looks good to
mo. 1 have met a few boys I
knew back there and they all say
the same thing, although we are
treated good here.
Took a bath tonight and the
water was good and cold I guess
if you can listen hard enough you
can hear ys cuss."
Bags A Bear.
Mrs. L. S. Kelley,, who with
her. husband and her3fathcr; P.
D. McQuire', "are camping near
the forks of Eagle Creek, came
in Sunday fur more supplies. She
informed us that on Wednesday
of last week Mr. McQuire, who
was nrmed-wjth a shotgun, came
upon a big brown bear and two
cubs. Ho fired a charge of bird
$hot into the old bear's head,
which must have blinded the ani
mal for it commenced clawing
at its head and finally made oil
into tho brush accompanied by
one of tho cubs, tho other cub
climbing a nearby tree. In the
meantime Mr. McGuiro was work
ing with a shell which had got
st'uck in the,gqn, and when he
got it fixed proceeded to kill tho
cub that wns in tho tree.
Those interested in the new
irrigation project for Eagle Val
ley mot Friday evening to hear
tho report of tho committee who
had gone ov.er the proposed route.
Mr. Tweed, as spokesman, said
tr at by putting in a five-foot dike
at Crater Lake and making an
outlet five feet lower than the
present water level, a supply of
water would be available after
tho flood waters of Main Eagle
jwi receded. The report was
approved and tho committee- in
structed to file claim on the water
with tho State Engineer.

B-C ROAD HELD UP
A petition was circulated in all
sections of Baker county to be J
served by tho Baker-Cornucopia;
ost road, asking that the route
as surveyed and approved by the
state and federal officials be ac
cepted. This action was made necessary
by tlje fact that a few men own
ing land in tho Keating district
are doing everything in their
power to havo tho road changed
from, tho Palrxjer route so as to
go by way of Keating.
These parties ask for a re-sur
vey, claiming that the Keating
routp is the most practicable, and
among other evidence presented
in support of their cgntentifln is
a letter from tqc pen of David C.
Reeds, postmaster at Keating.
This .gentleman states that the
Keating route is the only prac
ticable route" and that I be
lieve that a careful investigation
by a competent and conscientious
engineer will favor the Keating
route." He also says "I will not
be able to estimate the cost of
building the road."
The people of the Panhandle
favor tho Palmer route, but if the
engineers and other authorities
had favored the Keating route
no howl would have been made.
the main idea being to get work
started on the road as soon' as
possible "But these few men at
Keating, who are evidently act
ing on purely selfish, motives, are
willing that this big improve
ment be held up and possibly
abandoned if it does come exactly
as they wish. They have not
considered the accommodation of
hundreds of others interested in
tha B-C post road, and they may
possibly have won their point had
not gther men, who had the inr
terest of the general public at
heart, started the petition emu
lating. Buy Mixed Pickling Spites at

There being no train service
today Dr. Beck and wife left yes

they will remain for a time. A
number of Eagle Valley patrons
were disappointed as the Doctor
had intended to leavetoday.
Friends of tho News who have
occasion to publish legnl adver
tisements in settlement of estates
or other probate matters or in
cases in tho district court will do
this paper a favor by directing
their attorney or tho county of
ficial having such matters in
charge to havo such publication
made in Tho Eaglo Valley News.

War News Summary
The immediate results of the .
counter offensives are the cleari
ing of the Chateau Thierry pocket
ending tho njonace to Epernay
and Paris; the liberation of Mont:
didier, ending the menace tq
Amiens; the freeing of thp im?
prtrtant eastern railroad linelfronv
Earis to Chalons and Hhe Kjuallya u-'-i
Paris to Amiens, restorirtg lo tha
allies means of communication
and allowing them greater ease
in movement of troops. These
successes render impossible any
rupture of the line which would
seperate the French armies of
the center from those of the east,
or a rupture of the junction be-!
tween the French and British,
The most Disastrous consequence
to the Germans is the collapse of
of their plans to drive wedges:
into the allied lines,
Since July J8th the allies havo
taken more than 70,000 prisoners
and over 1,000 big guns.
Gentian U-boats have sank a
number of fishing sphoongrs off
the Atlantic coast the past week.
The huns are making a stand
to retain RoyeChaulnes line es
sential to safety of their pocketed ',
army. This has slowed the allies
advance.
.Germany has agreed to tho
proposal of the United States to
send delegates to Switzerland
about the middle of September
to arrange for an exchange of
prisoners.
General Pershing is now in
command of 1,250,000 Americans
forming the First American Field
Army on the west front. They
will hold the lino from near Ver- '
dun to the Swiss border.
