MANY FIGHTS REPORTED
Trains Are Attacked, Turks Be.
Being Unable to Protect
Passengers

Sofia, August 28.-Fights are reported
from several districts around Adrain-
ople. The insurgents are now beseige-
ing the town of Malkoternovo. The
Autonomye states that at Ziknisber
near MalkoternOyo after an engage
ment lasting II hours, the revolution
lists killed 40 Turkish soldiers and also
burned the village of Hodgotalashnan
because its Bashi Bazouks inhabitants
had terrorized the Christian population
in the nelghborhood. The Turkish
Guards along the Bulgarian frontier
have fed before the revolutionists who
are in possession of all the villages
around Malkoternoyo. The Turkish
government is making the utmost ef-
forts to repress the rebellion In the
yilayet of Uskub. Every available man
has been called out from the last line
of reserves to the rawest recruits. The
train outrage near Kuleli Burgas will
have, 1t is thought, a. very damaging
effect on the Turkish government, show
ing at once the strength of the insur-
gents and the weakness of the Turkish
authorities, who in spite Of warnings
received days ago that the trains would
be attacked, have proved themselves
unable to protect the passengers.

CUBA RECIPROCITY
President Palma Denies Petition
Of Commercial Men

Havana, August 2S.-The interest in
the reciprocity with the United States
which has been languishing for several
months is reviving. The newspapers
are urging the Cubans. in spite OF their
previous Encouragement. to again join
hands with the friends for the reciproc-
ity treaty with the United States.
President Palma has denied the Pc
tition of several commercial and man
ufacturing organizations for suspen-
sion Of the tax on manufactured pro-
ducts and industries enacted by the
Havana Provincial Council. The presi-
dent holds that the impost is not in
compatible with the taxes imposed by
the general government.

CANADA ON PROTECTION

The Victoria, B. c., Colonist has
been giving editorial space to the sub
rect OF protection since Chamberlain
has taken an unequivocal position IN
favor of protection 70 England. Un-
der the caption of American Opinion
the Colonist says:
The attitude of many protecuonists
saws an American writer In very able
article. towards this (the Chamberlain,
discussion as revealed by opinions ex-
pressed here, is exceedingly hard to
understand. They are apparently so
delighted with the growth Of protect
ionist sentiment in England, as AFFORD
ing corroborative evidence of the wis
dom Of the protective policy here. that
they forgot how large a measure of the
success of American protection has
come as natural complement to Brit
ish free trade, and how severe blow
to our present economic position in the
worlds markets would be the Imperial
aollverein. England's task hitherto has
ben 10 search out markets for the pro-
ducts of her teeming millions, while
ours has been the simpler one of sup
plying them with the fundamentals for
continuing their industries Conditions
however, have changed. The develop
ment of the wheat fields of Western
Canada, the growth and agriculture in
Australia, particularly in New Zealand,
have brought it to pass that England
would not today starve if she stopped
buying food products and raw mater
ials from u.s. She might experience
some temporary disadvantage, but that
she must necessarily keep her markets
open for our exports ON free-trade
basis can no longer be confidently as
serted. What would America do with
her surplus products Of wheat and other
farm products if England were to stopI
taking them? She is our pre-eminent
customer, and farmers would not be
long in feeling severely her loss. But
our western agriculturists, the moment
this tremendous outlet for their product
was cut OF, with the resulting slump !
in values, would come to Washington
In force to demand that some arrange
ment be entered into for restoring to
them the British market. England. |
however. would be in position to |
name the terms of access to her mar
kats. These terms would be very IL
able to hit the manufacturing interests !
OF the East and then we would have |
the Western farmers on one side and !
the Eastern manufacturers on the 9TH |
er, with a very practical protective |
discussion before them" The attitude |
of American protectionists may be
hard TO understand, but an argument
like the above, which is indisputable
on its merits makes the attitude of the
British anti-Imperialists entirely i'm
possible of comprehension.

Placer Gold Mines.

AS previously mentioned, owing to
winter having set in in earnest. little
will be done for some time in all the
placer properties, managed by +. c.
Everett.
"A small force of men were put to
work this week at the Nevada mine,
constructing a shed roof over a con-
siderable portion of the four-mile ca
nal. In number of places land slides
have occurred, and this means was
taken, to protect the ditch from con-
siderable and costly damage, other
wise sure to occur in the near future.
The work on the new Delaware COM
pany's camp will be very spasmodic
during the winter months. Every adj
vantage will be taken of favorable
weather, to prosecute some work in
connection with the ultimate erection
of the plant.
F. J. Thomas has charge during the
winter of both the Nevada and Della
ware Co.'s properties. His headquar-
tiers will be Markleeville.
The Alpine company, with head
quarters in room of the Washoe
County Bank building, T.. r. Dodge,
secretary, has set six men to work
this week to do the annual ASSESS
ment work.
The Hot Springs, at the old Ralph
Gray ford, are to be utilized for the
washing of gravel throughout the
winter. Work on the construction of
a line of sluice boxes was also begun
this week.
1t is foregone conclusion, that at
the opening of next spring, there will
be witnessed the greatest activity in
placer mining all along the Carson
river from near its headwaters down
to Carson Valley.
The Nevada mine will be the first to
be equipped with quartz crushing
machinery; the Delaware aud other
placer companies following suit in due
course of time.
1t is worthy of mention, in this con-
nection, that the gold placer enter
prises on the Carson river, through
late results, have awakened such con-
fidence among our home people, that
the sale of large blocks of stock at 80
cts. share was a comparatively easy
task in the last few weeks.

He was one of the four prisoners who
escaped from the county jail, but was

his brother, Frank, made a brief plea
in his behalf, urging the Court to be

AT a special meeting of the director

held last Monday evening, no import

pal matter, that came up for consider
alton, was the discussion of the pres

was the retention of c. E. Merrick for
another year as manager under pre-
cisely the same conditions and emolu-
ments prevailing in 1908. The fact,
that the books of this creamery show
ed disbursement to its patrons in
October of S1.l6 for 100 pounds of
milk on the four per cent test, as
against 96 cents paid by the Smith Val
