ALONG SOMME FRONT
Pacific Naws Service.
LONDON, July 26th.—The allied
forces along the Somme are still driv
ing forward in the section along both
banks of the river. A British move
ment in the general direction of the
Albert-Rapaume railroad is also un
der way. Some distance below the
Somme the French troops are press
ing heavily forward in an endeavor
to straighten their lines from Noye
northward. Several weighty counter
attacks by the Germans were heavily
repulsed during the early morning
and no German gains are reported
from any point either above or below
the' Somme. The British have gained
slightly in the Poizeres section but
no considerable advance had been
made at any point. The weather in
this section is preventing extensive
troop movements and important ad
vances are not expected at present.
In the meantime a constant artillery
duel is maintained along the larger
portion of the whole front.

explosion similar to that which creat
ed such havoc during the prepared
ness parade. The police were at
once notified and the man placed un
der arrest. It is rumored that he
has made important disclosures. Mrs.
Kinsley Van I.oon, one of the numer
ous women who were victims of the
explosion, died today in the hospital.

ity has resulted in several additions
to the reward offered for the appre
hension of the bombist. The reward
now totals fifteen thousand dollars.

Extract of Letter just received regarding
ALB RLA BITTER
Every housewife is interested in Clean, sanitary food for the table. One of the most essential
requisites in the manufacture and handling of food products is cleanliness. This is particular!)
true of butter because of its susceptibility to contamination. Recent developments lend added Inter
est to the subject of cleanliness in the handling of food.
Cleanliness in handling the cream, both before and after passing through the true pasteuriza
tion process; ccleanliness In handling the product, and above all, absolute cleanliness in the sur
roundings, are requirements which must obtain in order to secure a pure, clean, sanitary product
Ml for human consumption.
li has been the aim and ambition of the officers of this company for years past to, at the proper
lime, construct a plant for the manufacture of our product that would he an "IDEAL" Creamery,
"up-to-date" in every particular in efficiency, cleanViness and sanitation, and we are proud that we
are in a position at this time to he able to state that the desired end has been accomplished.
Our new building Is constructed of hollow tile, with numerous windows, transoms and ventillat
ing devices of the most modern pattern, thus giving us an abundance of light, and clean, fresh air;
our floors are of concrete, ail sloping to a drain which carries off. all water Immediately after being
used; our machinery is run by water power, thereby cutting out all the dust incidental to a steam
' operated plant; our walls, churns, receiving and pasteurizing vats are all white enamelled; all win
dows and doors are thoroughly screened, and, as a consequence, ever) thine in and about the plant is
as spic and span as a new pin and very easily kepi in this sanitary condition. ;
Operating under these clean and sanitary conditions and surroundings, with a butter maker in
charge who lias years of practical experience behind him and with aide and competent assistants; ac
cepting nothing but clean, pure and wholesome cream, and pasteurizing by the lateit and truest
processes known, we are able to offer to the public in our “ALBERTA" brand of butter, a product
that has NO superior in the Northwest. If there is any, manner possible in which to produce a better
or more wholesome, cleaner or purer grade than our "ALBERTA" "no germ" butter, we do not know
what 11 is.
! The success attained in introducing ALBERTA BUTTER last winter assures us that every state
ment in the above letter is absolutely true and lias our endorsement.
We have photographs of every department of the creamery which are on display at our store.

BRITISH STEAMER BLOCKS
PASSAGE OF DEUTSCHLAND
—
I
Pacific News Service.
BA I/HMOUE, July 6.—Obviously
an attempt to hinder or prevent the
passage of the German submarine
Deutschland from her .slip along the
river front developed today when the
British steamer Highbury anchored j
in such a position that the Deutsch-j
'• nd could not obtain egress from her
slip without great difficulty.
Tin Highbury dropped her anchor
..list outside the Deutschland slip
! iocking the channel in such miinncr
that in order to get out the Deutsch
land will lie compelled to open the
screen if bnrges which have been
thrown around the submarine to pre
vent damage from other vessels, and
go completely around the Highbury.
Immediately after the Highbury had
anchored, the Deutschland master
called the attention of the port au
thorities to the manner in which the
Britisher had cut off the passage of
his vessel. The port officers in turn
protested to the master of the High
bury but the vessel did not move.
The process of bringing the Deut
schland out of her predicament will
lake at least a half hour and perhaps
longer. The action of the British ship
is undoubtedly animated by the desire
to hinder the submarine from slipping
out without notice. All protests of
I'aptain Koenig have so far been in
vain.

BERLIN ADMITS
LOSS OF POZIERS
_
Pacific News Service.
BKltldN, July 2<>.—The grand head
quarters report this morning admits
that the British forces have occupied
Posters, north of the Somme after it
hitter struggle during which the
enemy lost heavily. The Germans
have taken up strongly fortified posi
tions beyond the town and are pre
pared to bring the British movement
to an abrupt end in this direction.
British attacks at several points along
this sector were repulsed heavily to
day and French attacks conducted
under cover of darkness were also
driven back or smothered. The Ger
mans have now perfected a. defense
which it is believed will result in a
speedy check of the allied thrust in
this direction. The headquarters staff
declares its satisfaction with the sit
uation as it is now developing. The
allied gains have not at any time seri
ously jeopardized tin* German tenure
in the Somme region and it is now
felt that an advance of greater pro
portion along this front is highly Im
probable.
FRENCH CLOSING
AROUND PERONNE
Pacific Nows Service.
LONDON. July The French
forces are steadily closing in around
Peronne owing largely to the domina
tion of that position through the cap
ture of the heights overlooking the
Somme near that [joint. The Germans
have heavily fortified their positions
and are offering a savage defense but
are slowly being shelled out and their
outlying trench defenses and earth
works obliterated. The French have
not attempted a general advance
s**( king to avoid useless waste of life.
Military observers state that the ter
ritory can he reduced with artillery
rendering the advance* comparatively
easy.
ALLIES SHOWING
ACTIVITY AT SALONIKA
Pacific News Service.
littMU, . I ills L’li. Athens dispatches
assert that Hie allied forces at Sa
lonika are showing signs of greatly
increased activity and an advance
against the Bulgarians is hourly ex
pected. The allies have now congre
gated an immense army at this point
and their expected offensive is looked
upon as certain to dissipate the Bul
garian resistance without difficulty. It
is generally believed here that the en
t ranee i|f the Russians into lower
Hungary will be the signal for an al
lied movement in the Macedonian sec
tion.
IRISH QUESTION
BECOMING BIG
LONDON, July 2<i. The Irish ques
tion is now one of the largest topics
of discussion outside of the war and
hundreds of vague rumors as to the
intentions of the government are in
circulation. Reports circulated during
the past three days assert that it is
not the intention to grant, home rule
until the conclusion of the war. Others
say that a modified form of home
government from that originally con
templated will he granted because of
the defection of the Ulster counties
and still others say that the cabinet
had been seriously disturbed by the
conflict of opinion as to what Ireland
is or is not to have.
Most of these reports appear to
have no foundation in fact although
it is admitted that the matter is not
without a serious side. An important
meeting has been called for today to
discuss the question at which Red
mond will preside. The whole diffi
culty seems to revolve around the
question of exempting the Ulster
counties. There is much reason for
believing that this will be deeply re
sented not only by a large portion of
the Ulsterites themselves but also by
other sections of Irelund.

PERFORMS CRAZY STUNT
Pacific News Service.
SING SING, July 26.—Dr. Waite,
murderer of Millionaire Peck and his
aged wife, who is now awaiting exe
cution, is .apparently making a stren
uous efforts to escape his fate by ap
pearing demented, something that he
has tried to do before. The arch
murderer this morning secured a piece
of glass and scored his chest with a
large cross which he averred was the
cross he has to hear as a result of his
crime. Waite freely admits his guilt
and also has confirmed the statement
of one of the witnesses at the trial
licit he intended to murder his young
wife after she had been placed in pos
session of the fortune of her father.
The prison officials contend that
Waite is shamming though some of
the attendants declare their belief that
he is really insane.
