TURKEY GOES TO WAR
Joins In Struggle Against The
Allies.
ENGLAND TAKES ACTION
Puts Egypt Under Marshal Law.
Holy War Possible.

The events Of the European war
were marked the first of this week
by the entrance of Turkey into the
struggle on behalf of Germany and
Austria against Russia and the
Anglo o-French allies. Before any
formal declaration was made,
Turkish warships attacked Rus
sian fleets and bombarded Russian
towns of the Black sea. The step
had been expected Of Turkey for
some time.
A London dispatch Of Nov. 3
stated that Great Britain and Tur.
key were at war, and that state
of war existed between Russia and
Turkey. Russian troops, it is said,
have already attacked the Turkish
frontier and the Ottomans have an
army OF 800, 900 in Asia moving
against the czar's dominions.
Servia has severed diplomatic re-
lations with Constantinople. Eng
land has placed Egypt under mar
tial law and is taking steps to
prevent Turkey from stirring up
holy war among the Mohamme-
dams Of Africa and India. Persia
denies having any alliance with
Turkey.
The Germans have begun a
vigorous offensive against the
Russians on the East Prussian
frontier. Fighting continues in
Poland.
London reports Of Nov. 3, stated
that the German army had aban.
doned its attempt to hack its way
along the Belgian coast to Calais.
On account Of the country being
[ inundated the Germans have found
maneuvers difficult along the low
| coast, and after about three weeks
OF hard fighting, it is said the,
have shifted their campaign to the
Ypres region where they are op
posed by the British army under
Sir John French.
Lord Charles Beresford of Eng
land declares the war will not b.
short and that it will take mor'
than six months or year to hum
BILE the kaiser. He said no on
knew what would happen in th'
next naval battle but declared
Germany "must lose the whole o
her fleet and give up the kie
canal and her colonies.
Thousands Of refugees are be
ginning to return to Antwerp ant
other parts of Belgium. The mis-
erable condition of the inhabitant
of the captured country, who's
fields and storehouses have bee
ravaged and laid waste, is becom
ing a matter OF international con
cern, and the Belgian minister I
the United States is redoubling hi
efforts to secure funds for the re
| lief of his destitute people.

ballots at the election last Tues
day, as indicated by the vote in
Rathdrum precinct. E. P. Dyer,
democrat, was reelected justice of
the peace by large vote and G.
w. Flemming, democrat, was
elected constable. For justice OF
the peace in Pleasant Valley pre-.
cinct, part Of Rathdrum justice
precinct, A. E. Mcintosh appears
to have been elected.
The republican congressional
candidates carried the precinct by
fair majorities, as also did some
of the candidates on the state
ticket. The greatest scratching is
shown in the vote on county COM
missioners.
The progressive ticket did not
poll as large vote in the precinct
as many had expected.
The socialists polled as to so
votes all the way down the line.
The prohibition ticket received IL
votes.
On the non partisan judicial
candidates the vote of Rathdrum
precinct is as follows:

OIL BOOM
IS VERY SHORT-uWED

An oil rush occurred in the val
ley near Millers, where it was re-
ported that excellent oil indications
had been found. The finder brought
back to camp a large block of hitu-
minous looking stuff that looked
good and was sent to the Tonopah
Extension for a test. In the mean
time news Of the find had spread
over the town and there was a
lively demand for placer location
patives. A string of autos left for
the scene late in the afternoon
and one IF the early ~locstors made
a gun play on q party occupying
the auto of Ralph Warddle by
drawing a forty-fouT and threaten
ing the lives of those in the car
unless they told who divulged the
secret of the find. The trouble
maker was too full Of booze to use
the gun and the party soon disposed
Of him.
The sample brought into Tonopsh
proved worthless and the excite
ment passed away as quickly as it
rose.
The truth just came to light this
afternoon, when a close examina-
tion OF the Millers district disclos-
ed the fact that the excitement was
due to traces of creosote exuding
from chemically treated power
poles recently planted In the desert.
This stuff gathered in small ponls
and depressions and led the first
locator to think he had a fortune
in oil. The first locator is still
holding down his group of ten
claims with a shotgun and threat.

PERCY GARDENERS DISCOVERY

Bringing the news IF the discov-
cry of a deposit, believed to be
potash, or some kindred salts, in a
new district some Is miles south of
Elko, Percy Gardner arrived in
Reno Saturday night with samples
of the deposit, says the Journal.
The samples will he analysed and
Gardner will soon know il he has
amassed millions during the past
week.
Gardner, with George w. Gala
han, the Amedee wool buyer, and
Bert Ricketts, and Frank Daniels
of Elko visited the scene Of the dis
covery several days ago making the
journey by automobile. A number
Of locations we're made and the
party returned with samples for
analysis.
The deposit is a crystal forma-
tion covered with white powder
and was originally discovered by a
cowboy while hunting cattle in that
vicinity. The district is several
miles in extent and should il prove
to be a potash bed, or some equally
valuable saline deposit, the locators
will be in position to amass an easy
fortune.

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Last evening Harry Duke and
Roy Primeaux in a Maxwell car
and Roy Jones and Jack Gulbransen
in a small Buick were speeding
their cars on the public road east Of
town. Dukes car was in the lead and
going ut a rate of speed, v~ariously
estimated to be somewhere be-
tween % and 40 miles an hour.
From what we havs been able to
learn, the latter estimate is near
est correct. Jones wss about 100
feet behind the Maxwell car when
II slowed up to cross a small cul-
vert about a mile and a half east
of town. Fearing that he would
run into the car, Jones put on TIE
brakes and attempted to turn his
car to avoid a collision and went
into the ditch by the side of the
road. One of the front wheels

DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS
MUST PAY NEWSPAPERS

For many years there have been
a few persons in every community
who have felt that they need not
pay their subscription bills to news
papers unless they chose to do 60.
While newspapers have felt th:t
a subscription bill was just as good
as a bill for groceries they have
been lax in enfor cling their right
and thus have encouraged thos e
who refused to pay.
One day recently suit was
brought in justice court against
nine subscribers and service was Sc
cured upon six. After preparing
to fight the case and after consult
ing an attorney these subscribers
found there was no way in which
they could escape a judgment for
at least three years subscription
and cost and agreed to pay thac
amount rather than stand the adj
ditional cost of trying the suits.
In all other cases where suit was
brought judgment was given the
Journal-W World for the entire
amount of its claims together with
the costs.
The Journal-W World does not en-
joy bringing these suits, nor caus-
ing anyone trouble and expenses
out it has been willing to spend it's
time and money to establish con.
clusively the fact that if a man re-
ceives a paper he is morally and
legally bound to pay for it.
Men who for one reason or an
other fail to pay their subscription
to a paper until seven years have
passed often try to excuse them
selves by saving they never ordered
it. This claim was recently made
at the World-Journal office and tie
records showed that the party had
paid his subscri piion for three and
one.half years before getting in ar
rears.-Lawrence, Kan, Journal

that last Friday there was a shoot

brought to Battle Mountain for
medical treatment. There were no
witnesses to the shooting except
the woman and her alleged hus.

confined in the Battle Mountain Jail

Stories are conflicting, the first
report being that it was a self

TWO NEVADA RAILWAYS
ARE TO BE MADE ONE

A major surgical operation by
which two parall | lines of rail-

which was 81, 200, 900 was decided

The two roads we're built when
the Goldfeld district was in full
