London, Oct, 27.-The swiftness and
efficiency of the onward movement of

The often predicted and long delay

east has defeated the Turks at Kirk

have almost invested that fortress.
The Servian army in the west walk
ed into Uskup, at o'clock, Saturday
afternoon. without opposition. The
Turkish garrison there withdrew on
the railway towards Saloniki.
How far it intends to retreat and why
are questions. The only answer to the
last question is that the strength and
supplies of the garrison did not justify
an attempt to make stand
There is no position between .Uskup
and Saloniki better suited for a battle
than the one abandoned. The strategy
apparently is to follow the line of the
railway toward Salonki.

proceeding successfully with the invest

The Turkish army which was defeated
at Kirk Kilisseh did not fall back upon
Adrianopie, according to today's news,
but took the road to the south, where 1t
could connect with the railway to Con-
stantinople.
The second Bulgarian army followed
through the mountains carrying on the
fight all day in an endeavor to cut off
the retreating forces.
The military critics are asking how
many men Turkey has in Adrianople, and
how long they will be able TO withstand
a siege. There is general belief that
if the Bulgarian Investment is completed
and railway communication with Con-
stantinople cut. the Turks will be, starv-

In the meantime the Montenegrins are
pushing their attack on Scutari. The
Greeks have entered a few small towns

oklahoma's Mineral Products Are in
Demand.

Norman, Okla, Jan 30--According
to statistics of the United States Geol-
ogical Survey recently received by the
Geological survey of Oklahoma, our
state occupies a prominent place in
the ranks of the mineral producing
states of the Union. During 1909 Ok
lahoma produced 29,O0O,0OO dollars
worth of mineral products and 33.000,-
600 dollars worth in 1910, a gain of
10 per cent in one year.
These figures give Oklahoma four
teenth place among the states of the
Union as a mineral producer Among
the states west of the Mississippi river
she occupies sixth place while among
the states of the western plains with
which she has to compete, she holds
second place, being surpassed by Mis-
souri, only.
Considering the long continued
drouth in Oklahoma it is considered
that these figures are extremely fat
tering. The officials of the oklahoma
Geological Survey here believe that in
spite Of the financial depression in
1911 the state win make a very credit
abie record in her mineral output.

Is commendable, but these improve

fore the rate of taxation for 1913 win
probably be higher in Enid and Okla

we may expect vigorous roar from

cratic state administration taxing the
people into bankruptcy.
