Belgium aerial scouts report that the
Germans are massing in Luxemburg,
intending to take the southern in-
stead of the northern route into
France.
PARIS, Aug. 17 The French are
pushing slowly but steadily into
Alsace-Lorraine and fighting at
many points. The losses have been
enormous on both rides. The French
offensive movement especially vigor
ous in the vicinity of Saarburg. The
fighting south of Mulhausen was des
perate, the French shelling the Ger
man trenches, then charging and fight
ing hand to hand. The Germans were
driven back, abandoning their rapid
fire guns while the French aviators
added to the destruction by hurling
bombs into the German ranks.

LOCAL PEOPLE ENJOY TRIP INTO CRATER LAKE COUNTRY
John Vaughn and wife and Chas.
Cox and wife returned to Heppner last
Friday after a very enjoyable trip
through Western Oregon. The party
which also included the Albert Slocum
family, left Heppner on the 23rd, of
July in John Vaughn's Case car. The
first stop was at Deschutes, where
they Btayed for a short time. From
Deschutes they went to Odell Lake
where they camped for tw days.
John said that they caught trout
twenty inches long and the rest of the
party claim it is the truth, so we guess
it is.
Ft. Klamath was next visited and
then they went on to Crater Lake.
Here they found good fishing as they
also did at Klamath Lake, where they
camped one day. They spent a short
time in the cities of Ashland, Med-

They spent two days at Crescent
City, California and then drove along
the coast for 142 miles. At Gold
Beach they remained for three days
and camped at the mouth of Rogue
River where they found the best fish
ing on the trip. They landed one 28
pound salmon,-one 12 pounder and
many smaller. They spent eight days
in all on the Coast, the weather be
ing ideal and everyone in the party
feeling fine.
The party separated at Coquille,
theSlocums going to Marshfield and
the. rest of them to Portland. The
car was shipped to The Dalles and
from there they drove to Heppner.
The trip was one of the most enjoy
able that any of them ever experienc
ed, the car never giving the slightest
trouble, the people along the road
treated them well and everyone in the
party in the best of health during the
entire journey.

One of the most terrible disasters of railroad track were also lost in the
which has ever happened in this conflagration.
One of the sad features of the hre
county occurred last Friday night at
Morgan, fire of unknown origin burn

Arthur Phillips, aged 22 and Winnie
Phillips, aged 17. Mrs. Phillips, who
was brought out when Mrs. Phillips
said that she had suggested to Arthur
that he sleep in the house that night,
as he complained about not feeling
well. He had been sleeping in the
sides and a large part of the city is
in ruins.
PARIS, Aug. 17 It is reported here
that the French ae driving back the
Germans from the Gallic defenses
south of Mulhausen in Alsace. The
War Office announced that the fight
ing was desperate, the French artil

and trenches were found filled with
German dead after being taken from
their defenders.
LONDON, Aug. 17 The keynote
of the dispatches received here say

Every man should have a hobby.
Besides not eating oats and needing
water, a hobby furnishes a man with
diversified and profitable employment
and keeps his nerves from getting on
the outside. I met a doctor a few
days ago who sells automobiles, also
a businessman who operates a large
ranch while not engaged in the store.
Both of these men are making good,
by the way, all of which shows that
it is right and proper that they need
the stimulating effect which a hobby
affords.
While In Hardmari last Friday' I
saw the fancy chickens which George
Bleakman is raising. George runs
the store, sells wood, and finds plenty
of time to raise some of the best
chickens in the county. I went over
to his house for a short time and
was surprised to see such a well equip
ped place for raising chickens. George
has two incubators and he told me
that he intends to get another next
spring. The incubator li the only
practical way of hatching chickens,
George said. "He took me out to the
first pen in which had fourteen white
Orpingtons. These chickens were
hatched from fifteen eggs which he
got from Cleveland, Ohio, and cost
$20. They weighed about three
pounds and were thirteen weeks old.
In the pen was a new coop 12xl6made
especially warm for winter and ar
ranged for ventilation in tummer.
The second pen contained the same
kind of chickens but they were cider.
A coop 12x14 of the umt design at
in the first pen I found her. These
chickens were well formed, healthy
and especially tame, one being able to
call and pick up any which he desired.
The third pen ai the largest and
had coop 12x24, new and built for
chickens. The chicken here were
Orpingtons and many of them full
grown. In all there were 220 chick
ens on the place.
George haa shown his chickens at
the fair in late years and get his
hare of the prizes. He showed me a
white Orpington rooster that he paid
$25 for and which, as 1 understand, it
on of the best in the county. To
. ens, George' went to the house and
' gave me the following figures which
represents what sixteen hens did last
winter. ' In the month of January
they laid ten dozen and seven eggs
which were sold for thirty-five cents
per dozen or $3.71. In February they
laid 'seventeen dozen eggs which
brought thirty-five cents a dozen or
$5.93. In March and April they laid
fifty-five dozen which were sold for
fifty cents a dozen, some of them for
setting purposes, which brought $28.
50. In the four months the sixteen
hens added $39.14 to the family in
come. In one year that would be
about $160.00. The expense for feed
was not $15. Add to this $11.80 each
month as the amount of milk sold and
you can see how George had coming
into the family purse about $20 a
month. One cow and sixteen hens
could, therefore, more than pay the
running expenses, of a family of five
persons, what George has. These
figures are exclusive of the eggs and
milk which the family used and as
George said I don't allow my wife
to make us economize on eggs and
milk.
George has five city lots which are
devoted to chickens and the cow. The
chickens are fed nothing but dry feed,
with the exception of what grasshop
pers his boys give them. He buys
a scratch feed, which it mostly corn
at he sayt chickens need corn. Con
ditions are favorable for chickens in
this county at there are no insects or
other harmful things which can in
jur them. H cannot supply the de
mand for eggt and chickent for eat
ing purposes in Hardman. He sells
chickens to hit neighbor! for fifty
cents apiece, no stopping to weigh
them to see if you get more than your
money's worth.
The day I wat in Ha.'dman I taw
George pack tix dozen eggt for a
rancher. He laid thai there were
many farmers who did not raise a
tingle chicken. . Every man should
rait that which h can rais bent but

Last Saturday afternoon a number
of business men am! citizens met in
the bank to discuss means of lessen
ing the danger of fire. This is the
most dangerous time of the year for
fire to break out. There has been a
high wind for several duys and should
fire once start, there is no telling what
it would do.
The first places to be cleaned are
the stores, especially the backyards.
Several of these were mentioned, even

near where men are continually work
ing, ine other places were the yards
about town and the buildings neur the
tracks.
Ine meeting passed a resolution de
manding that the council clean up the
town without delay. The council held
a meeting after the citizens meeting
and decided to go to work at once to
clean the city again. This was done
a few weeks ago, but most of the com
plaints were mude about rubbish
