FEAR MASSACRE
OF MISSIONARIES
Attitude of Turks Threaten.
ing Says Letter Receiv-
ed in Fargo.

Fargo. N. D.. Dec. 10.-Restrictions
from Syria have now reached the
point that no mail will be transmitted
from residents of that part of the
world to America or elsewhere, unless
written in German, according to q
letter just received by Mrs. w. A.
keye from her son, William Keye, a
member of the faculty Of the Beirut
Syrian college. The letter is dated
address can be written in English. 1t
came unsealed.
Another letter dated November ar
rived in Fargo at the same time. It
had been opened and bore a war
stamp upon 1t. At the time it was
written. Mr.. Keye says that rumors
were afloat that Turkey had declared
war, but there was no confirmation
Of the reports. The English and
French had taken all the papers, so
that little was known of outside
writes, and the city Of Beirut is al
most panic-stricken. Greek teachers
and students are trying to go back
to Greece, but areno permitted to
leave.
The Turkish government requisi-
toned the two automobiles belonging
to DR.. Crawford of the college faculty,
aHu dlso Wanteu MS morse, out mad
not gotten it. Mr.. Keye said that he
had heard the report that the govern
ment had been removed from Beirut
to Damascus, but was not certain of
the truth of it. Meanwhile the work
at the school goes on as before.
Contrary to the experience during
the Balkan war, when no reference
was made by the sultan to religious
feeling in this war, he pointed out the
difference in religious faith, and for
eigners are anticipating a holy war If
Turkey becomes more deeply involved.
The North Carolina is still at anchor
here, he says. but the Tennessee has
gone on trip to France.

LEGAL CONTROL s
LANDS PROPOSED
Chicagoan, Owning Real Es-
tate Here, Would Have
State Supervision.

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 10.-Legal
control of the farm lands of the state.
This is the cry of Rockwell Sayre of
Chicago, we'll known in North Da-
kota, where he owns large number
of farms. A great deal of time has
been spent by Mr.. Sayre and his as
sociates in the interest of q measure
that will be introduced in the state
legislature in January, which recog-
nizes this principle, no matter in how
slight a degree. That crop rotation
should be regulated and enforced by
the state, the same as the construc-
ton of buildings, is the theory that
is preached by Sayre. Already the
advocates of the measure have receiv-
ed the promise Of support from many
sources. 1t is understood that Gov
ernor Hanna will give his indorse-
ment to the measure.

AS was said before, this is one of two
model rural schools in the United
States to be exhibited at the Panama

were selected by the Washington de-
partment of education after the repre-

COMMISSION AIDS
BERTH0LD women
Secretary to Assist in Estab-
fishing New Public
14-. Library.

Bismarck. N. D.. Dec. 10.-Mrs.
Minnie Clark Budlong. secretary of
the library commission, has gone to
Berthold where she will assist in the
establishment Of a new public library
which is being fostered by the teach
ers in the public schools and the
ladies club. This Is part of the work
of the commission and a number Of
visits of a like character have been
made during the last period. During
the biennial period ending June 80,
1914. there were fourteen trips Of this
character made. This was only two
more trips than were made the prev
ious period but more were not made
on account of lack of funds.
The report which has just been is
sued by the commission shows that
there are now So public and institn-
tional libraries in the state which In
an increase from 81 since the last re-
port and from 80 since the 1910 re-
port, while the first report Of the COM
mission. made in 1908 showed only
27 institutions Of this nature. in the
state.
There are ten Carnegie buildings in
the state and seven memorial and gift
library buildings. The commission
owns and uses 226 travelling Libraries
containing $50 books. 145 Of these
collections are suited to community
use Wnll0 dTe ulSIluCLlV6Iy SCHOOL
libraries. In addition to the above
travelling libraries there are 80 farm
ers' libraries containing 1870 books
which are sent to different parts OF
the state. There are now 1856 sta
tions to which the farm libraries arc
sent with total Of 239 having been
sent out the past period.
Some idea of the good done by these
travelling libraries can be obtained
from the following figures, although
they are not complete as could be de-
sired: $50 school libraries show rec
ord of 6,945 borrowers and a recorded
circulation Of 23,573. This averages
25 borrowers to each library and 3.4
book books for each borrower. At
this rate the Ats libraries sent by the
commission would have 1875 bor-
rowers and 35.625 readers counting
three to each loan. 3.4 books to each
borrower would make the known cir
culation 40.375 and the estimated cir
culation 21,125.

NO RAD|CALlSM
BY CANE BOARD
Report Indicates Nothing
Big is Proposed in Way
of Game Law Changes,
fHerald Special service.l }

Fargo. N. D.. Dec. 10.-No radical
were made IN the
biennial report of the North Dakota
Game and Fish Board Of Control to
the governor at the meeting OF the
board which was concluded here to-
day. Practically every recommends
ton was based on suggestions made
by the sportsmen Of the state at the
series of meetings held by the board
over the state during the past year.
Conform to Federal Laws.
Among the recommendations were
that so far as possible the state laws
should be made to conform with the
federal regulations regarding migra-
tory birds, that the opening OF the
duck season should be set back to
October 1, instead of starting Septem-
Der z, as at present. The demand for
this latter change is almost unanimous
over the state. The board further
recommended special licenses for pro-
fessional dog trainers. professional
trappers and for fishermen over 16
years of age, an open season after
for the opening of the trapping sea-
son on muskrat and mink. q law pro-
hibiting foreign born residents who
have not declared their citizenship
from carrying shotguns or rifles, the
absolute prohibition Of rifles for hunt
ing geese and ducks the extension Of
the closed season for deer until 1920,
of antlered bucks, with numerous
amendments to different sections Of
the present game laws. One feature
urged was the terms Of the three
members of the board should be made
six years with one appointive each two
years to make the work continuous
and insure two experienced men on
the board at all times.
Establish Game Farm.
The board also suggests the e6tab.
lishment of game farm and a wide
grouse to all sections Of the state
adapted to those birds.
Some of the statistics given out by
the board indicate great activity un-
der the present organization during
the past two years. The license sale
to residents this year was S8,903, last
year 1854, or a total Of 72,257 ae
| compared to 50,169 for the preceding
biennial period: The nonresident H.
were 204 against 12s for 1912.
Convictions Many.
The most marked activity. however
| is shown in the number of convictions
In 1911 there were 38. in 1912. 81 and
under the present board there were
| 130 In 1913 and 165 in 1914, or 295
for the present biennial period al
against 50 for the preceding. demon.

The cooperation Of the press and
sportsmen Of the state during the pas
two years was epressly noted in term.

CHANGE IN
MANAGEMENT

This isue of the Independent goes
out under e. management. George
B. Russell has purchased the interest
formerly held by H. N. Riddle, and
the paper will now be issued under
the firm name of Keith & Russell.
MI. Russell is not a stranger to the
newspaper business. He literally grew
up in a newspaper Office and has
spent many years in that field of en-
deavor. He established the Elko
Daily Free Press and for a number
OF years was identified with that pap
er. But some time ago he was lured
from the ways of rectitude and right
eousness which all good scribes follow
and turned his attention to politics.
That field looked roseate and cheer
full, and in imagination he saw a life
of ease and luxury. The realization,
however, was altogether different than
pictured in imagination and from the
last campaign he emerged entirely
dlsillusioned. He found that path
way beset with stones and thorns, and
like Deady's calf that followed the
steer over the mountain he was sor-
ry when supper time came. Now he
is back to his old love happy and
contented. With no bitterness of dis
appointment over failure to realize
political aspirations, with no enemies
to punish, with best of good feeling
to all, he again takes up newspaper
work, full of energy and a determin-
alton to give the public the best that
is in him.
The policy of the Independent under
the new management will remain the
same. In politics it will be democrat
ic, and in all things and at all times
1t will endeavor to make for a bigger
and better Elko and Elko county and
State of Nevada.
