OR months war dispatches from
Galicia—where vast armies
have swayed back and forth,
locked in one of the outstand
ing, titanic struggles of history
to decide the fate of empires and of
two mighty races—have gripped the
popular attention more than the news
from any other battle theater. On Ga
licia’s fields during the past few months
i Lave been done such feats at arms
as the modern world could not have
dreamed of; the strength of great
Russia swept over this Austrian
crownland, driving Its powerful ar
mies over the plain In the North, over
the central hills, up the southern
slopes of the ragged Carpathians, on
their lofty, icy crests, beyond these
crests, and hovered over the fertile
prairie land of Hungary.
Here the wave spent its to then ir-
resistible force, and upon the dreary
mountain rocks, above the clouds,
amid the ice and snow and chill cold
of early spring, the flower of Russian
and Austro-German strength began
rolling backward toward the north,
still locked in continuous, grinding
battle, until the foothills were left be
hind and the terrific contest surged
in the direction of Lemberg and the
northern plain. The nature of this
war theater that has beheld among
earth’s sternest, most bitter scenes is
intimately described by William Jo
seph Showalter in a statement pre
pared for the National Geographic so
ciety. This writer says:
HUERTA CHECKED BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
Rabbits Rush Harvest.
Baker—A sudden invasion of rabbits
in the grain fields of Pleasant Valley,
a rich agricultural district near Baker,
is making the success of the season’s
crop extremely doubtful. The animals
are of the “blacktail” variety, and
with grain ready to head, have de
scended on the fields and are doing the
mowing themselves in a most thorough
fashion.
Almost simultaneously with the at
tack of the rabbit army has come a
plague of grasshoppers, and with the
two together threatening, ranchers are
bending every effort to hasten the har
vest.
Biggs Corn Ripe Early.
The Dalles—What is regarded as the
earliest corn crop of the season in this
district is reported by Harold Fish,
who has a farm near Biggs.
C. L. Smith, agriculturist for the
O.-W. R. & N. company, arrived in
town recently with several specimens
of the Fish corn crop.
It is of the
Yellow Flint variety, with small ears,
but an abundance of ears to the etalk.
It will yield about 28 bushels to the
acre, says Mr. Smith.
Mr. Fish
planted the corn on April 14 and har
vested it on August 1. This, says Mr.
Smith, is one of the earliest cases of
maturity on record.

here one of the richest men in the val

Hood River Apples Fewer.
Hood River — While it is still too
early to make definite estimates and
while the opinions of various experts
differ slightly, market men and grow
ers agree that the Hood River apple
crop will be far smaller than that of
last year, when approximately 900,000
boxes of fruit were shipped. This sea
son’s crop is estimated at from 60 to
70 per cent of that of last year. On
account of the small crop here and the
light yield over the entire nation, it is
predicted that growers will get profit

“It is in Lemberg that the only

Lemberg is the capital of Galicia, and
the Poles, both because of their
shrewd political ability and their nu

city of Lemberg is largely modern—a
