PORT IS SMALL BUT
 OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

TSURUGA, Japan, Nov. 20, Cor respondence of The Associated Press) This little port has suddenly taken on great importance to the Russian army. It is the Japanese terminus for the Russian volunteer fleet, oper- ating between Vladivostok and Japan and has suddenly become a great shipping center for arms and am munition. Two boats operate reg ularly every week between Tsuruga and Vladivostok and this service has been supDlanted by a number of small coaling ships.
 The docks at Tsuruga and plat forms of the railway station are now stacked high with gun carriages and ammunition cases. Temporary shel- ters have been thrown up and canvas is used for covering supplies which cannot be placed under a roof Most of the war supplies are handled by Japanese women dock laborers. Al though the women are less than five feet high. their hard work has given them great muscular development They wear short kimonas which ex- pose their muscular legs from the knee down, and their bare arms snow great strength, as they left cases of shells and drag along the wheels of caissons.
 Tsuruga is small city. It has less than 1000 inhabitants and most of these are fishermen and seagoing folk. The protected inner port is small and hills rise abruptly from the shore line, limiting the space avail able for trackage and docks. Hither- to the demands upon warehouse and dock facilities have been slight. Con- sequently there was no preparation made for the deluge of Japanese ma terials the railroad is unloading here for shipment to Vladivostok. Tsuru- ga is thoroughly connected by rail with the arms and ammunition cen ters of Japan and is bearing its share of the extra burden Yokohama and other better known ports are not able to accept.
 Shimoniseki is also receiving much war material from Japanese factories for shipment to Fusan by steamer and then over the Korean railways to Harbin and the Trans-Siberian rail way line. The chief duty of the minor ports is to handle copper, lead, shells, cartridges and guns manufac- tured in Japan. At Yokohama, Kobe and Nagaski foreign war supplies, chiefly from America, are received from ships which do not call at Vlad- ivostok, and forwarded by steamers calling at the Siberian seaport. Steam CTS arriving at Yokohama from Am erican Pacific ports almost invariably land many shells for large guns. The handling of such freight on ships not provided with magazines, causes some apprehension among passengers ia miliar with the risk incurred by car rying such freight

water is an auxiliary in the form of baths, effusion, or we, sheets, reduces preternatural heat. Where is has a double influence: First. it contracts the capillaries most speedily, thor oughlv and effectually; secondly, it directly abstracts heat from the over heated body, and so prevents destruc- tive changes.
 For this purpose patients may be kept in tepid or cold water many hours during an attack of typnoid, scarlet or other levers. This prac- tice is quite in vogue in Germany. It reduces fever, it soothes pain, quiets restlessness, and makes way for re- covery. Wonderful success has fol lowed this practice. Brand, of Stet- tin.

ROAD ACCOUNTING
 SYSTEM BEING PERFECTED
(From Sundays Oaily)


 The uniform system of road aC- counting adopted at the meeting of the board of supervisor clerks and county engineers is being perfected by the offices of the State engineer and State examiner and will soon be put into operation according to Clerk K. T. Bclcher and County Engineer w. H. Merritt, who have returned from the capital.
 The purpose of the new system is to make it possible for county cngin- eers to gain great deal of valuable information from the reports of other counties regarding the carrying on of the work of their departments. With all counties doing their work, and keeping their records on the same plan, it will Tighten the work of !hc State engineers office and State ex- aminer's office in checking up the work of the different counties.
 At the meeting in Phoenix, State Examiner D. F. Johnson presided and Assistant State Engineer E. P. Ad- ans acted as secretary. The first step was taken with the appointment Of a committee of engineers and a committee of clerks who formed the preliminary plans of the new system 10 be followed by all the counties. Their recommendations were adopted by the body and were referred to the State departments to work out and perfect in detail.
 Heretofore all that it was possible to tell after Q road was completed was the cost of the road as a whClc CT the total price for its construction With the new system 1t will be pos s;blc to tell the exact cost of rcmov- ing brush, of dynamiting through rock, capping or cuts through hills. In this way the county engineer will be enabled to tell much more accur- atcly just what it will cost to COR slruct new road

TURKEY COUNTRY
 MINES BEGIN OPERATIONS
(From Sundays Daily)


 Turkey Creek district, according to reports made yesterday by J. E. Swigert, the mining man, is in the same active class as other sections of this county, and more development and heavier production are going on at present than at any time in recent years.
 While that belt adjacent to the Bradshaw Mountain railroad is rated as silver bearing, gold and copper mining is assuming new phase in this industry.
 James P. Cleator is erecting a new hoist within 200 feet of the track at Turkey, and will develop his gold property. A two-compartment shaft is being sunk, and shipping is sched- uled to the shelter
 The Tyson gold claims are steadily operating, and a run of several tons in a gasoline-propelled arastra is said to have given a cleanup of better than $20 to the ton from free milling ores.
 Sam Parker has started a camp al his copper mines, and is reported to be producing a very high grade ore, that goes to the smelter later.
 In silver mining, twelve camps arc running below the station, the lea5er being the principal operator. The coming of winter is the occasion for the general revival of mining in that field, the temperature in the summer necessitating general suspension. Many of these silver mines ill past years have produced heavily, and tnc belief that the white metal is to ad- vance again brings these properties into an active state.
 Mir. Swigert also stated scores of prospectors are entering that section hunting for tungsten. The old Snidei silver mine, abandoned many years ago on account of the excess of this mineral in its ores, is again active and in new hands. Other locations are being made for this mineral, and some good strikes are reported. ClI dumps also are being analysed since the Tiptop has resumed, and tie search for tungsten promises to be- come quite an interesting matter this winter
 Miners of that field are anxious 10 market at Mayer, and are anxiously awaiting the opening of the new GUS tom plant.

"I have not yet determined just
where | will take the Kansas City
Federal franchise" said Harry f. Sin
clair, who arrived in the city from
New York city last Friday evening.
II had thought seriously of taking
it to either New York city or Newark,

as yet | have not heard from the
corporation commission or Cato Sells,
and | am in the dark. Until they grant
a hearing and adopt rules and regu-
latons for the government of the
league, under directions of umpires,
l will hold matters in allegiance"
When asked what he thought of the
Davidson bill reducing the price Of
admission to all league games to five
cents for the grandstand, bleachers
free, and 80 cents for the champion
ship series, he stated that he had not
yet heard from the authorities, and
would not commit himself. He did
state, however, that in his opinion,
the measure was constitutional and
that with the exception of that part
of it which required the rooters to do
their roofing in a phonograph i'm or
der TO prevent waste, the bill would
pass the third house and be signed by

real estate man had never seen 1t. but
SAID II must be good bottom land,
Judging from its location. The Syrian
bought 1t, and soon afterward with an
other Syrian, perhaps a cousin, he left
Tulsa to live on his farm. They drove

as plug, to single wagon, which
carried all their possessions.

away Completely disgusted with his
trade, Musselman left the land and
went to Kiefer where he went to work
as day laborer.
The Gushing Oil field was gradually
drifting northward, and Robert L.

mad the Musselman tract inspected by
Hutchinson, the geologist, who re-
ported favorably. Charles Rogers of
Tulsa, as attorney for the Mc-Man
company, then instituted a search for
Musselman and located him working

dollar an acre a year. or $72 a year
Musselman would have sold him the
land In fee for that sum, If he had
been asked to.

reached the neighborhood of the Mus
selman land, and the Mc-Man COM
pany made one of the big strikes of

this tract alone, at the present time, is
over thirty thousand barrels a day.
