According lo official announcement nuido in Vi enna, Czemuwicz, capital of the crownlnnd of llukowinu, which 1ms been in tliu possession of the Utts binns t-inco early in the war, has been retaken by the Austrian. They have captured also two Kus pinn field forti Hon t ions-, located one liehind the other, to the southeast of Humbnr. To the northwest of Sntu bor, Austrian troops are proceeding in tlto direction of Htrassol. During; recent ciincincnls Aus trian troops havo taken .'MOO Itttssinn prisoners, among whom nre twenty- five officers. They have captured albo fifteen tnaehinc puns. 1IKHL1N', pel. 23, via wireless. Infonnation received hero from Vi enna says it has been announced of ficially .that the Austrian troops are slill raininc j;round. They attacked the Itnshinn fortified positioiiH near Kelsr.lyn and stormed the hcijihts to the north of Mnjiiero on Tuesday. They have occupied the last pas ncro-s the Carpathian inoiintains in Kic-miui Iinnds, called tho Jahlomca l'nss, and Utilitarian territory is now completely clear of !(usiitins. In the crown land of Hukowina the An trians nre advancing toward Soreth. The correspondent in Ilrlin of the Itoiiic Trilmnn bus admitted that the confidence of the Germans in tho general staff of the army is unite justified by its ineomparahle organ ization. Tho l'aiis Temps, according to an iioimccmcnt made here, reports that the Knlih have confiscated and sold many valuable German and Austrian race horses, worth in all more than 5-200.000. This fact, it is said, to gether with tho confiscation of the racing yacht owned by Herr Krupp yon llohlcn, proves Hint the Knjjlish liuve no respect for private property. Til 10 rcM'tioimrii's in control of the lvpublintu jmrly in Oregon have 1ml one tinjnuionl cnlniiriiy. Thu sun will noviM'.shiiu jiJs it nsotl lo sin no in Iho tjooil old nUlntnn days of 1!K)7 nnloss tho republican party is restored lo power, Hooth son! to the senate ami WilhyVinlto to Salem. Hecnuso Wood row "Wilson is president, there were heavy frosts in the Kouuo KMver vallev last sprint;. He- eause tho demoenrts are in power, there was a drouth last summer, tteeause hungry repuhlieaus arc out of offiee, there is a world-wide war and the foreign market for apples ruined. The Jackson county reactionaries go a step further. Hard times, they assort in paid advertisements, are directly due to the fact that wo have some democratic policemen and ;i democratic police judge. As their official statement states: Under such political control our taxes are the lil&liost they have ever been. Wo have n corporation tax, an Inheritance tax, an Income tax, n so-called "war tax" which Is really an KXTItAVAOANCU TAX. not to mention the usual state, county and city taxes, ami not forKCttlnsr special assessments and extravagant county and stato expenditures. All duo to the fact that JNIedford has some democratic policemen! Isn't it awful! And the rcinody to stop The European war; to set the wheels of industry buzzing, to mature a record fruit crop at record prices why elect standpatters to office by "Voting 'or straight!" The best answer to this campaign cry of calamity is the speech recently delivered by A. L. Mills, president of the First National bank of Portland, and former speaker of the Oregon house of representatives a republican, by the way. He says: hrst: That financial conditions in our country today are sound, and at no time sine our government was established were they ever in a sounder condition than they nre at this moment. Second. And let this sink deep into your understanding: There is absolutely no danger today of a flnnnclal panic sweeping across this country such as all of us have seen in times gone by, nor. Indeed, shall you or I ever again witness In this country such panic conditions ns prevailed In 1907 or 1S93, or, indeed, in other pahlc years. These nre cold, hard facts and not the rosy dreams of sonic- visionary student of political economy; facts that aro established truths in the minds or financiers of established reputation, and facts that should nnd must be equally well established in your mind and In the mind of every business man In these United States. Any, this and more you and I and nil of us should do combat with all tho power and force that Is within us the dismal croriKlngg of the confirmed pessimist who, whenever there Is tho smallest cloud in tho sky, believes that the sun will never shine again. Such calamity howlers are pests in society, of value neither to themselves nor to others, but rather thei aro a drag upon tho wheels of our Nation's progress. Pardon this digression, but there should not be even standing room for the pessimist In this great country of ours. In conclusion, let mo beg of jou to bo of good cheer. Financial con ditions arc sound and will remain so. Tho prospects for a period of prosperity in the near future arc bright, and It but romalns for you busi ness men to make the best of the opportunities that will present them selves to you In tho near future in order to reap a bountiful harvest for your efforts. Xow, tho future! 1 should say that tho next year or two will seo In Oregon and the United States generally, due to tho misfortunes of others, such prosiwrous conditions as never heforo have prevailed. In the end, however, we can not have such an enormous economic waste an this great European war seems likely to cause without materially. affecting tho ability ot those nations to purchase our exports. The republican campaign calamity howlers are, as Mr. Mills says, "Pests in Society." ""- a Colonel C. E. S. Wood and His Friend Bill Hanley I It'Ollllll iile. . K-t-. i r i liliiiyrili'iiiu'ditiiiMi'KiiitoJi'i.t'ii. UNSOLVED MYSTERIES ONLY FEW LEFT TO (I'Ymn the Ahlnud lleeord ) Colonel C, K. S. Wood of Portland was in Hi'iilheni Onjoh InM Tlitut dny evening niniiiii) Hill lliinley for the 1'nilcd States M'linle on the Hull Mihim' ticket, Starling al Iho eily hall in Ashland, ho took Mill in flight vf oratory on u personally conducted tour clear up to the pcarlv gales -which i conceded by those who ate fitiuiliitr with tho oily hall, to he one of tho very longest Mights to bo had anywhere. Just for com parisou now and then lie dipped down into the bottomless pit and let Hill stand alongside of Cliamlieilaiii and Hooth for n few minutes, lie cer tainly was eloquent. It was tin til on the faithful demo, erats and republicans uscmhlcd, hut they bore up nobly. When ho spoke of Hooth there were crumb of coin foit for the democrat and when lie spoke of Chntiiberluin there were crumb of comfort for tho republi can. The democrats pt u few the iiuwt crumb, because the colonel scathed hooth on lps i coord in the courts a a limber-grubber, while his chief complaint of Chiimherlaiti wn that George hud failed to boost him politically. When tho colonel upoko of his friend Hill, even thing- else looked yoltyw nnd rocky uud whang--hasted and there wore no crumbs for anyone who didn't belong to the Cor-bet-Wood-llnnloy clement tit Oregon inditics. Sometimes when the colonel shook his luxuriant iron gray iniino mid hurst forth in vitriolic denunciation you tliouchl it wa Hill himself, twisting- the tails of u bunch of steer to make them get into the car. An 1 then you would notice the elegant diction nnd rcnlirc .that it was Colo- ncl Wood speaking-, uud that ho really looks more like Frederick A. Dour- lass, the cn-nt negro orator, than lie tlocs like Hill. One thing we can as sure our renders is that, if Hill should go awe and leinn us, tiny Victor csipiencss ir Which ho deprive tin" state will be mnde tip liv Colonel Wood with inteiest. In tinier that vou may know what it's nil about, wo will stale that Iho Corbet Is and Colonel Wood nnd Hill are nil tied uu together in a big much over in eastern Otcgou. They have not any renrc.sciitativo in the Ciiited States senate and tliev want one. Colonel Wood is a fine corporation lawyer and a brilliant scnkor uud would make them n.erni kcrjack of u senator, but he cau!t get away to o to Washuigti!i Ihy voteis won't let him. The Corbet Cm can't mi, as they BECAUSE the Mail Tribune had the temerity to impure Jan- all too i.usV eouutiii their money, about Dr. Withycombe's birthplace .and as to why among them they have decided to he voted as an Ainerieau citizen lor twelve years before he renounced his allegiance to Queen Victoria, facts strangely omitted from the official pamphlet, "the Port land Oregonian characterizes it as "a vicious and nasty little Mcdford paper," and makes inquirv as to the nativ itv of Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith was born in Ohio but where was Dr. "Withy- combc born? Dr. Smith received his degree of doctor of medicine from the Sterling Medical college, Columbus, 0 and uud curly ho will uriuiigo lo inigulo the waste places of I he slain uud make homes for the surplus popula tion of Iho congested unhorse. ( In the ultci'uoou ho will build highways nil over Iho lato uud a railroad to the southern Oicgou coast, where ho will di ga port. While he is ill il ho will uUo dig some ports at I'oillniid and Atoiia. I'Yidu.v, Hill will fix Iho labor tpies tiou, capital, onipoinllon, trusts, commerce, mining und woman sttf fnige while the test of Iho senate looks ut him tlinuiuli pieces of smok ed glass, or hides in the cyclone col lar out behind the white house, tu ease anything- else should need fix ing. Colonel Wood will tell Hill what it is und how to fix it. Satuulay Hill will adjourn emigre uud come homo. Colonel Wood cpreod surprise that Senator Chamberlain ha failed to at tend to these trivial matters which a man of Hill's genius could easily eel, away with in a week at the most, by siinplv mukiur Iho rest of the Cnited States stop running for u fuw days. The oratory of Colonel Wood not only convinced many that Hill will carry out this program with ono hand tied behind his back, hut uNo that hi discovery in the ipiict atmosphere of Hums -is second only lo the great discovery which Columbus is said to have mnde in Hill! or that which Dr. t ook made some years later. To prove (hat Hill is u wonder, the cnlo- micI cites what a groat attraction ho was on the "governor' special." winch toured the east it couple of .vears ago. Me declan's the story that Hill was taken along a a mascot just jis some pin tics of high-rollers take alone- a gout or a hunchback or a bald eagle is a base canard and he would like to see the color of tit mini's Imir that started it. Tho colonel says there are a lot of lies it float about Hill that vven fath ered by tho city papers and arc be ing passed nlong by their "miserable little yellow our imitators" in the country village. He wa especially exercised over u biinch of so-called "pioneer iccolleetious" of Hill's caily life in this viillcy, where eeiluiti base ealumiiiator.s whisper that Hill wa ton fiee with his branding iron, etc The colonel sa.vs he bumped into these "whisperings" for the tirst time on this trin and thev made him hot un der the collar. In denouncing them he brought up also tho mutter of Hill's itiditcmctil for miiiiitaiunig fences around government laud, e(o. This mutter of custom Oregon liislorv was liewM lo many people in Asliliud uud (hoy woivglitil lo hear llie colo nel brill- it up and denounce II. Ho ha u splendid flow of dciiiineialorv language. I The colonel stales iu thoo pa pers which are mil Iviug nhoiit Hill uro in u "conspiracy of silence" which refuses to be broken unlo Hill's ciimpaigu committee coughs up. He said this in face of the fact Hint (lie Hon. licit (Irccr, chuiimiiii of Iho mcetiui;, is editor of.u paper Hint fought valiantly for Iho piogicsvo pailv onl, two years ago, uud the finlhor fact that another editor nics cnl devoted hulf a column of space to ItillV ciiiiilidnoy free of chnigc two week ugo. Tho colonel says Iho peo ple have been "Jietraved" hv every paper Hint didn't print Hill's plat, form. He thinks It is a newspaper man' busiiics to furnish u lice mouthpiece for every dub who illum ines he is a statesman. Great gnus, colonel why ut that rale each copy of a country newspaper in Oregon would be as big as n Carnegie library and it would cost nppioxiutuMv two million ihdlur it week to scud it out by f i eight. The colonel is unkind and iticoti sidemte -hut with Hint broad human dimity for which the country editor is noted, we forgive him. We en joyed hi speech. Such sis-eches nild to the gaiel - of nations und help to make life worth living for the musses who aro ground down hv the iiou licl-1 of oppression and can't afford to go to vaudeville. We hope he will come again before Iho campaign cuds and run Hill niiolher heat In this com munity. Hill was tuisi'd lierciiboiil and, ns Iho Colonel suggests, cverv man wlio-was born some place should have the undivided support of that Mexican Convention still in Session WASHINGTON, Oel, UoV-Thfi Mcvicuu iialimiill cnuvciitlnu ill Agnus .Cnlioiilps is sllll in session, iiceoiiliti" to olliehll icpinlH loilay lo tho slnlo ilopuiliiicnt.

Xaliiralh- the Coihctls uie suppos ed to furnish the money though they nre apparently letting- go of it slowly, as the colonel says he and Hill have no campaign fund with which to buy space in tho dirty news pnper.

Hilt is supposed to look picliircMpic nnd re ceptive nnd wait for the train. The rest will he easy.
