Protect French Coast.

The European war situation grows
graver with the passing OF each day.
The German Ambassador has left Paris,
which means France is &c join hands
with Russia in the conflict. England
by her French alliance is compelled to
protect the French coast and is already
mobiiizing her troops.
A hitherto unknown factor in war
will be the aeronauts, and already the
airmen are scouting above the opposing
armies and occasionally dropping ter
rible destroyers In the shape of bombs
which create great havoc.
TWO air men collided Or rather drove
their machines directly at each other.

the result that both machines We're
dashed to earth and wrecked and their
occupants killed.
Italy has signified her intention and
desire TO remain neutral. Many en-
gagements have already taken place,
accompanied by slight casualties, but
no battles of any consequence have as
yet been fought. The various countries
party to the coming conflict are busy
modifying their armies and preparing
for what promises to be the biggest
war of modern time.
The United States is not connected
with the controversy, and there is no
chance of our becoming involved in the
embroglio. However, we will to some
extent be effected financially, the vari-
Gus ports of the world will from time
to time be closed to our products, and
American stocks will to certain extent
be effected, but President Wilson with
Congress standing solidly behind him has
made preparation for every emergency
and serious injury to this country as
the result of the war is impossible.
With ample financial arrangements
made to meet every contingency, the
United States can assume the role of
Borrowing though interested oniooker.

POISON NOW
THOUGHT
TO Have CAUSED DEATH
OF Victor Lear's Mules.

On Tuesday night Mr.. V. A. Lear
lost two more mules. the latter never
having shown any signs of distress,
and it is very evident that lightning
was not the cause of their demise.
Since the death of the latter two ami
mails doubts have arisen as to whether
or not the stock which MIR. Lear has
been so unfortunate as 20 lose came to
their death by lightning. In fact evil
dence strongly points to the fact that
something else caused their death,
probably poison, as there was signs of
struggles in the vicinity where the
dead ANIMALS were found. DR.. POntlus
has been sent for tc come here from
Lexington to make post norton ex-
animation of the dead animals. He
will arrive here today, and until the
result of his examination, opinion in
the matter will be withheld. The
mules We're yearlirgs and two year olds

SENATOR BECKHAH,
GOVERNOR STANLEY"
Appears 10 Be The Democratic Slogan In
keziucay Since The Primary
EleC.iOH.
Election.

Accepting the results as now indica-
ted by the face of the returns, Gar
rard county democrats, regardless of
whose cause they espoused before the
, primary, are enthusiastically declared
their aliegience to Gov. Beckham for
the United States Senate. The air
seems throughout the state to be per
vaded with feeling as one newspaper
has aptly put it, Lets have Beckham
for Senator and Stanley for Governor
Harry GIovannolli.in the Lexington
Leader predicts that all indications at
present point to the nomination of Mr..
Stanley at the Democratic primary
next fall as the candidate for Govern
or of that party, and further asserts
that Mr.. Stanley already has his cam
paign made, and were the election to
be held at any near date, he would not
have to make another speech.
The following paragraph closes the
Leaders editorial comment on the re-
cent primary and the future prospects
of Mr.. Stanley, referring to the splen-
did race made by Mr.. Stanley, the Lea
der says
THE result of his race with Beck:
ham leads to the belief that had the
campaign lasted two weeks longer he
would have been successful. He seems
to be the sort of candidate that his
party wants, and no one of the gentle
men now talked of as a probable can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor could defeat him if he en-
tered the race"

Ex-Governor J. c. W. Beckham
proved to be the choice Of the majority
Of the Kentucky democrats in Satur-
day primary for the senatorial nominal
ton, long term. Characteristic OF
Kentucky elections the contest was
spirited and the two leading candidates
and their friends put up a game fight.
Criticism for any democrat who was
loyal to his choice is unjust and in
to!erable. Just as it is political dis
honor for any democrat to participate
in the primary and sulk when his man
loses. We did what we could for the
nomination Of Mr.. Stanley and are
pleased at the splendid showing that
he made in this county under the cir
cumstances as well as in the entire
State. But our man has lost in a
primary that was perhaps not alto
gether fair, but not to the extent of
changing the results as we observe it.
We shall therefore, take pleasure in
doing what We can to elect the sue
sessful aspirant to the Senate.
Mr.. Stanley, good democrat as he is
and has always been, will use his great
ability as campaigner for the entire
ticket.
We see nothing on the political
horizon save the triumph election of
Beckham and the entire ticket in
November.

COMPANY SEEKS
POTASH DEPOSIT
DEEP WELLS DRILLED IN RAIL.
ROAD VALLEY IN QUEST
FOR MINERAL

The Railroad Valley company has
issued a report, accompanying a call
for a meeting of the stockholders.
The report contains a complete de-
scription of the company's property
and of it's operations during the year,
the geological report being written
by e. e. Free, the company's con-
sulting geologist, who has made an
exhaustive study of the possibilities
of finding potash in the dry lake beds
of the Great Basin.
Operations of the company have
been conducted on an extensive scale,
involving the drilling of over 10000
feet of wells. This work has not
resulted in developing potash in com
mercial quantities but has shown the
presence, in large volume of gaylus-
site, which carries over 35 per cent
of soda, and it is the belief of the
management and engineers that this
deposit can be mined and the product
refined profitably. Drilling opera
tons have been suspended for the
winter months but plans are under
consideration for the resumption of
work at depth in the spring.

CARBONATE ELY COMPANY
is DEVELOPING CLAIMS

Nj. M. Johnson, manager of the
Carbonate Ely company, with prop
erty located at Sawmill canyon, near
White River valley, came to Ely dur
ing the week to lay in supplies for
his camp. Mr.. Johnson has heen
in charge of the property since last
fall, and has been doing a consider
able amount of permanent develop
ment work. He has a shaft down
50 feet, and is now arranging for
a hoist, and as soon as it is erect
ed the shaft will be carried on
down. Mr.. Johnson states that so
far nothing but ore has been taken
ont while sinking the shaft, which
leads him to believe that the com,
pany will o on develop a large cop
per property. The company was
organized about seven years ago, and
is controlled by Salt Lake and Ely
people.-Ely Record.
