ALASKA $ FRIEND
 GETS B|C BOOST

Senator George F.. Chamberlain, of Oregon, was boosted for re cleo tion in telegram sent by some form CT Oregonians who live in Fairbanks. The Oregon election will be held next week, and the opposition to MT. Chamberlain is working hard for his defeat.
 It was at first planned to send the telegram boosting MT Chamber lain directly to him. but there was an uncertainty in regard to whether he is in Washington or Oregon. So it was finally decided to send it to the Democratic campaign committee in Portland, for in that way it was felt certain that it would reach MT Chamberlain. The telegram, which was sent last Saturday, reads as follows:
 "To the Democratic Campaign Committee. Portland, Oregon.
 Fairbanks. the metropolis and greatest gold camp in Alaska, sends greetings from Oregonians to voters of Old Home State and ask them to send back to Washington, Novem- Der 3, Alaska's friend George E. Chamberlain.

D0INGS AT
 WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. D. C..

"Wednesday

Struggles between the allies and the Germans for the control of the French sea coast continue, and lt is reported today that the British war ships are taking an active part in the matter. Thus, unless the Ger man fleet can successfully combat the British war vessels, it seems that the allies have the advantaee at least as far as the immediate coast line is concerned.
 It is reported from London that the Germans attempted to dig trench es along the coast line, but that the British vessels watched the work by the aid of their searchlights, and when morning came. lombard mans away.
 German submarines made an at tack on the British war vessels off the French coast. it is reported. but were unable to do any damage.
 At the British war office in Lon don it is stated that the prospects for early success for the allies are growing brighter all the time. It is believed that it will be but few days before the Germans are forced back from their important coast posi- tions. and will be forced to abandon Ostend.
 Conflicting reports continue to come regarding the fighting in other parts of France. It is stated in London dispatches that the allies are successfully advancing against the Germans, while the dispatches from Berlin state that the Germans have been forcing the French to give up a number of small forts in East ern France.
 It is estimated by the German war office that the losses of the allies since the war began now reach to- tai of about 750,000 men.

SIGN YOUR NAME WHEN
WRITING TO NEWSPAPERS

An admonition that is as old as
newspapers themselves, and one
which seems never will be observed
in all instances is the signing of
ones name when sending commune
cations to a paper. We have re.
peatedls stated that all communi.
cations must be signed to receive
attention In this office. Writing
on this subject, an OHIO exchange
says:
"fhe Transcript regrets that sew
eral communications have been re-
ceived without the names of the
senders during the past " sex. In
keeping with the general rule OBJ
served by newspapers, no comnuni
cation is published by the Tran
script when the name of the writer
is unknown to the publishers. The
name must always accompany any
contributed news, not that we
would print the name of the author
in every instance but that we would
have the name ss an evidence of
good faith. Simply signing "A
Transcript Reader or something
equal to that expression in vague
ness does not fill the bill. We want
the news and we appreciate all
communications, but the writer
must not neglect to sign the COM
munication."

ANOTHER TONOPAH MURDER

Frank Cecchini was shot and
killed by Paul Palva Sunday night
in front of the Europa saloon on
lower Main street near the railroad
station. The shooting occurred at
$3.50, following a dispute otter the
relative ability of the men to toss
dirt out of a hule. Owing to the
reticence of the spectators little
could be learned of the crime or
the causes leading to it. 1t was
commonly believed that the tragedy
was provoked by discussion Of the
possibilities of Italy declaring war
at midnight.
That this was not the cause is
youched for by hangers on at the
saloon, who say Palva and Gee

the evening began discussing
their physical strength and the YER
dict was left to an actual test OF
the height to which either could
throw q shovel of dirt, from a cess
pool hole in the backyard. The
men adjourned to the yard and
Cecchini dropped into the hole and
began shovelipg. Then he climbed
out and Palva refnsed to go fur

into the bar and had a drink. Then
the quarrel was renewed and Geo

WORK FOR NEVADA

A little matter has been brought
to attention which seems to us
should bring out the state pride of
the people and cause US all to think
of u home state before thinking
Of the welfare of other states. This
is the matter of a representative
of the California State Museum
touring this state and trying to Sc
cure for a California institution
articles of historical interest and
curios of all kinds. Tntsa are to be
taken to California, exhibited at
the Panama Pacific fair and then
turned over to the museum in Cold
en- Gate Park.
In the State of Nevada we have
a Historical Society which is trying
to do for our State what the
museum at Golden Gate Park is do
ing for California gathering and
preserving articles of interest. The
Nevada Historical Society is presId-
ed over by q most estimable lady
who has been thoroughly trained
in the art and has devoted her
labors to the institution for a num-
Der of years. The historical
- HT.
Society is fostered by the state to a
limited degree and 1t is hoped and
expected that within a very short
time the Legislature of the State
will recognize the benefit to the
State Of this organization and will
support it in all ways.
We make this plea to yon as a
Nevadan. Let Us have more state
pride, let us think more Of our
state and let us work harder for its
welfare. Let US do all within our
power to hold our relics here so
that the generations yet to come
can see the works Of their fore
fathers. This state is rich in ar
ticles Of historical interes. and If
they be sent to or placed in the
care of the Nevada Historical
Society they will be preserved and
will be Of great benefit to all Of US.
