dieament when she attempted to land

ladies wearing apparel from the steam

the representation that they were house

Turkish Fleet Scrap Iron.

WASHINGTON, November Amer
lean iron and steel manufacturers have
received requests from the Turkish gov
eminent to submit offers for one of the
most notable piles of scrap iron ever
known. Nearly one-half of the Otto
man navy is put up for sale.
On November II bids will be received
by the Porte for the sale of five bat
tleships. Their construction made Tur-
key the third naval power in the world;
their destruction at time when that
country nears the bottom of the list of
naval powers is the step taken by the
new regime to regain the empire s lost
prestige. New ships will take the places
of the discarded ones.
Sir Richard Gamble of the British
navy, together with number of subor-
dinate English officers, are now engaged
in recognizing the Turkish navy. They
have deereed that the policy of pre-
tense must end and at the same time
the names of the five vessels are strick-
en- from the list of battleships as in
effective and will be sold to the highest
bidder as Junk.

SPOKANE, Wash, July 16.-Five seconds
of carelessness threatens to cost thousands
Of homeseekers every chance to win land
on the three Indian reservations, for which
the drawing occurs August 8.
Some failed to put a postage stamp on
the envelopes, some filled the blanks but
failed to take the oath; in other cases no.
tarles have neglected to attach their seals
to the affidavits, and not a few over pru-
dent applicants are writing their return
addresses on envelopes before mailing to
superintendent WItten.
Even an initial marked on the envelope
in addition to the printed address Is suf-
flcient cause for throwing 1t out Of the
drawing. So careful is the government to
avoid distinguishing marks on the envel-
opes that the Spokane postoftice removed
the date and hour from the machine when
the stamps are cancelled.
