high regard for their honesty that

variety OF weapons who lounge AT
doors of consulates and banks, who
carry money or messages and who
hire themselves out as escorts for
travellers All over Turkey they are
found in positions which bring them
in contact with Europeans some
times as Governors of provinces and
eften as military officers, while the
lower classes frequently serve in the
capacity OF armed servants. couriers
or body guards in the pay OF wealthy
Europeans or Ottomans. -

DlRIGlBLES DROP
BOMBS AMONG TURKS

The first stage in the use of diri-
gible air craft in war has been
reached, says an eastern exchange
A dirigible has been used to carry
out reconnaissance in actual fight
ing; its crew has reconnoitered the
enemy's position, made sketch plans,
taken photographs and dropped
bombs, and two facts have become
abundantly plain. One is that We
are at the beginning, and that there
is evidently no limit which we can
foresee at present to. the use Of air
craft in war; the other is that the
possession of an effective air feet is
an imperative necessity, not of tomor-
row, but of today. Ii war were de-
clared today between two powers, the
power possessing the most efficient
air feet would win. This, If any mill
tary expert ever doubted it, has teen
made a clear certainty by the work
of the Italian dirigible Pi in recon
naissance of the Turkish position
near Gengal, described by the special
correspondent of the Turin Stampa.
The ri left its hangar at 6 in the
mandante, Peuco, the pilots, Captain
Saymandi and Lieutenant Bengal,
and a supply of bombs. 1t lose over
the sea to height of 1000 meters,
turned eastward over the oasis of
Koefit and satisfied itself that at the
moment the oasis contained none of
the enemy. Next it turned south to-
ward Mufta, near which, at the foot
of the Djebel and on the plain, lay
the Turkish lines. AS soon as the
Pi came near the camp the Turks
opened rife fire; this proved futile
and the ri dropped a bomb among
the tents, which took instant effect.
The Turks ceased their rife fire and
brought their artillery into action.
They had previously planted their
guns on the slopes of sandhills, bury
ing the tail Of the carriage 50 as to
take the recoil without overturning
the gun. They sent their shells up
almost vertically, but their fire was
wild and harmless, and the dirigible,
dropping BONES, proceeded on. it's
course; it completed an exact recon !
naissance of the enemys camp, esti-
mated the numbers of Turks and !
Arabs. took photographs of the posi-
ton and in two hours returned un-
harmed to the Italian lines, with the
whole plan of the Turkish position
at the disposal of the Italian general.
The dirigible, in short, obtained that !
morning for nothing information for
which a general would have sacri- |
feed troops as plain duty. She was |
Hnopposed, she was in the position |
of a warship able to outrange the
ships engaging her; she could hit !
without being hit, and see without |
being pursued. 1t must have been an |
exhilarating two hours for her Itali- |
an crew. For the Turks it is difficult |
to imagine a more hopeless and help |
less experience.-London Spectator

DOUGH, NUTS,
 DOUCHNUTS!

There were twenty-eight of them Long and short, fat and skinny semi-white and all black, some dressed in overalls, some in khaki some in broad brimmed sombreros, some in caps, but they all carried a pack. They had spent the summer in this camp. They had packs What did those packs contain Gold? No! They pack that in pokes. Clothes? No! They carry their wardrobes on their back 'tis true, but if they took that wardrobe off they'd be arrested for indecent exposure.
 They were bound for Cordova. It's long trail they have to travel. and they must eat. The roadhouscs along the way do not offer the food that tempts that class of hu- manity and so they carried in their packs food. Yes, it was food alright enough. And it was holy food too. For the entire pack carried by every mothers son of those twenty-eight men was made up exclusively of D o U c H N U T s. The Panama bakery, the Fairbanks baker,, and the Vienna bakery contributed to the packs that made up the sole sub stance of the one thing that will stand between those mushers and starvation. Forty dollars was the price they paid for 960 doughnuts and the holes were thrown in.
 We hope they reach their destina- tion on the coast doughnutless. and that when the spirit prompts them to again come into the camp to carry to the Outside not only its dough nuts, but its dough, We hope that the supply of dough they can raise Outside will not let them undertake trip to Interior Alaska. More powe to the white population.

FIRST TRIP IN
 FOURTEEN YEARS

On the Panama on Tuesday Joe Nj rich will start for the Outside. This is the first trip that the veteran prospector has made Outside in fl years. Mir. Hershberger will go with MT. Nirich, and together the two old sourdoughs will take in the taking with them samples of ore from many of the mines around this district, and these they will show to people on the Outside to prove to them that this camp has good quartz values. The trip is to be pleasure trip absolutely, as the men have leased or disposed of all their holdings and will not attempt to sell anything while they are Out side
 MT. Hershberger is taking with him the first gold gotten out of quartz in this district. He is really the fath- e- of quartz in the Panama valley and none have done more to further the development of the industry on which this camp must eventually depend than the two old prospectors who are taking a well-earned rest
 They will go to all the cities on the coast. spend a month at the Plymouth Hot Springs in California and then go East Before they return the men will visit the old country, and may even go round the world. Both old sourdoughs figure that they have good long rest coming to them and they are going to have a good time while they are Outside
 As yet they cannot say just when they will return to the camp, but they surely will return, because they believe that Fairbanks will make one of the best camps in the quartz line that the world has ever known

MEX|CANS ARE
 GIVEN FINAL
 WARNING NOW

MORALES, Ariz., Sept 8. - Off cial warning has been sent from Washington to the leader of the Mexican revolutionists, Emilio Campi He is warned that Americans or American property shall not be mo- tested anyway at all. The warning says in part:
 Any willful mOlestation by the in surgents of the persons or property of the American citizens in the re- zion under the control of the Mex ican insurrectionary forces will be intensely resented by the American government and the people. There positively must not be any maltrea;- ment of American citizens or prop erty by you or your men and it would be we'll for you to so inform your men and your leaders in this insurrection."
 This message may be of sufficient strength to scare the rebels from further destruction of Americans and their property, but if it does not. the prevailing opinion here is that the local government will use force.

formed, the Beaumonts returned [, Fort Yukon. Here they remained. and nothing more was heard of them that could be woven into the story until the fact of his arrest was wired to Fairbanks. As late as three or four weeks ago it it known that Elizabeth Dove Beaumont was Tn Fort Yukon with her baby. She said nothing of going Outside. The de- scriptions as sent to this city from the Outside do not tally exactly with those of the girl Beaumont mar ried here. But Elizabeth Dove had a sister, and it Is probably she whom the old trader seduced, after making her helpless to resist by the use of a drug. Elizabeth Dove was over eighteen Charlotte Hara was but eighteen according to the dispatches. Elizabeth may have had sister, or it is possible that she gave fictitious name at the wedding. 1T she did Beaumont taught her to perjure herself, for the girl had not the brains to give the perfect answers she gave, off hand
 It would seem from the dispatches that Beaumont just arrived in San Francisco. It is possible that he lured from her home some other innocent girl, seduced her, and run. ming short of money attempted to force her into life of shame that he might live off her earnings Again the woman he married here may have come to her senses. She may have come out of the spell under which he held her. He may have lost his power over her But which ever way it goes. whether it is a new girl or the same one that was here Beaumont is better off behind the bars of a prison. The world will be cleaner, virtue will be safer and his poor wife and her baby better off without the beast in the clothes of man.
