GIBRALTAR OF THE BALTIC"
Powerful Fortress Of sveabor0, Guard
Ing the Gulf Of Finland, Has Been
Frequently SO Called.

After more than 1S months OF naval
war upon the Baltic sea between the
fleets of Germany and Russia. the first
successful shot has yet to be fired
against the mighty fortress Of Svea-
borg, which guards the neck Of the
Gulf Of Finland, and the water ap-
proaches to the Russian capital, says
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society at Washington. Svea-
borg, best known as the Gibraltar Of
the Baltic" powerfully secures it's
holders control to all the wide basin
Of the Gulf Of Finland, thus giving
them a most important base for dis
putting the control of the northern
inland sea. 1t was the acquisition of
this stronghold that constituted the
strongest impelling force in Musco-
vite politics toward the conquest of
Finland from the Swedes.
Across the neck of the gulf from
Sveaborg lies Reval, the seat Of other
powerful shore defenses and of i'm.
portant Russian navy yards. These
two points block the way from the
Baltic against any naval power al
most as securely as the forts Kilid
Bahr and Chanak Kalessi blocked the
English ships at the Dardanelles.
Reval is situated on a sharp bay at
the northeastern gulf shore OF Es-
tonia. Sveaborg fortress stands Just
before Helsingfors. the capital of Fin
land.
There are hundreds of small, thick
Iy wooded islands strewn over the
coastal waters around HeIsingfors. 1t
Is upon group of seven of such is-
lands. which are larger than their
neighbors. that the almost impregna-
BILE Sveaborg fortress is built. More
over, small redoubts and batteries are
well concealed in several Of the out.
lying islands which surround. like
thinly-fung sxirmisb line, the fortress
near the coast.
Many a vain seaward attack has
shattered against Sveaborg's defenses
in bygone days, and in recent years
Russia has brought the strength of
the place up to Twentieth Century re-
quirements. It is said that more than
1000 guns are mounted here and sev.
eral thousand soldiers are Quartered
in the fortress even in times OF peace.
During the Crimean war the allies at.
tackled this point violently and with
out success. The story goes that Eng
Iish guns alone hurled more than a
thousand tons Of shot and shell into
the fortress. almost without apparent
effect II has fallen only once, and
then bribery is credited with victory
and not the force OF arms. It sur
rendered to the Russians without an
effort at defense. surrendering at the
same time that its garrison Of 5000
men laid down their arms and turned
over their formidable defenses, the
whole country OF Finland.

SERVICE IS MORE
THAN JUST GIVING

The deepest spirit Of the Christmas
0utpouring that flows over the Chris.
tian world is the impulse for human
service that runs through the whole
year.
It is easy to give recklessly out of
ones abundance, or even to share
carefully ones pittance. The distri-
button of Christmas dinners through
hundreds of self-denying families
means a days happiness for the giver
and receiver. But It is greater happi-
ness to both to follow through the
year with aid to self-dependence. en-
cOuragement to hope. and support In
striving for better living.
This is the giving Of SELF and they
who know how to give Of themselves
wisely are the highest givers. The
best feature of Christmas is its ma
terial expression Of a whole year of
human service that runs like a thread
through human lives.
Only these holiday glimpses reveal
to the careless how many are dedi-
Gated to q share in this unobtrusive
service to the humbly striving and to
the accomplishing needy; how many
families are under constant stimulus
to the best sort of self-help; how
many children are being quietly led
to . higher level Of living and striv.
ing for themselves between Christmas
and Christmas.

Making An Empire OF
SagebruSh State

The Western Pacific railroad is get
ting into its stride and is planning
extensive development that will icall
for the expenditure of millions of
dollars within the next two years.
Two of the most likely projects are
based on the rapid growth of the
farm sections of Nevada. These pro-
jects would open immense areas of
land in Elko and Humboldt Counties
and also bring Jarbidge within easy
distance of the county seat. One OF
the railroad lines for which the plans
have been improved is the Deep
Creek railroad along the Utah border
which would have an important in
fuence on the material growth of
this State. The other is the Idaho
line running north and south, which
would bring into the market hun
dreds of thousands of acres of the
best lands of Nevada suitable for in
tense farm development. By placing
remote sections of Nevada in touch
with trunk line roads.

Many Seek Husbands

Since a letter was sent out early
last Summer by the Jarbidge Com
mercial club, telling of the loneliness
of Jarbidge men, over 1000 letters
have been received by members of
the club from damsels who would
cast their lot with the camp and be-
come helpmates to the men of the
community. A number of happy
marriages have resulted from the
advertising of the club, which is con-
WINGED that printers ink pays.

WHY Flour l. High

There's a reason for the high price
of -four, aside from the great ex-
portation of wheat to suffering Eu-
rope. The crop this year in the Uni
ted States was the poorest since 1904.
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that Winter wheat fell off by
200, 900, 900 bushels from last years
huge crop, and Spring wheat as much
more. The Department thinks that
after American wants are supplied
there will be a surplus of only 100,-
900. 900 bushels for export.

Rabies Killing Ruby Cattle

EIko Independent: DR.. Henry
Hagar. whose home is at Cave Creek
in the south end of Ruby Valley, re-
ports that stockmen in that section
are suffering severely from the loss
of stock by rabies. One stockman
in that section lost eight head of cat
tie in one day.
With cold weather coming on, the
coyotes are coming down out of the
mountains into the valleys, and again
it will be necessary to wage a strenu-
Gus war against them. The disease
is gradually working south. and it is
feared that the valleys to the south
of the Rubies will suffer this Winter
from the disease just as did all the
northern country last Winter.

without a stop, was not a success.
He had to come down at Erie, Pa,
and again at Hammondsport, N. Y.
because of engine trouble. However,
he did make a new long distance re-
cord, making the 452 miles between
Chicago and Erie in 257 1-2 minutes.
He also broke the speed record, his
average speed being 112 miles an
hour. His total for the first day
was 652 miles.

Making Use of Hot Lava

Bricks and sewer pipes are to be
made of molten lava at the Hawaiian
volcano, Kilauea. There is in the
crater an inexhaustible pit of this
melted stone. The plan is to have
endless bucket conveyors which
would dip up the material, convey it
out Of the crater and pour it into
molds where it would quickly harden
in any shape desired. The buckets
will have to be made of some material
which will withstand a heat of 1000
degrees Fahrenheit.

IS THIS THE OLDEST LETTER.

A letter written 400 years ago
has just been opened and read at the
University of Pennsylvania 1t was
written in a language long dead. but
the learned men of the University
were able to translate it. The en-
velope had to be opened with a NAL
let, for it was made of baked clay.
Paper had not been invented al CEN
turtles ago. The way of writing let
tiers then was to press or scratch the
characters in soft clay and then bake
the clay.
This proved to be a business letter,
a rather naughty order from a bust
ness man to one of his employees,
concerning a deal in -four. The lam
guage is Sumerian, and DR.. Langdon,
who translated it. is one of the very
few men in the world who r ac-
quainted with that forgotten tongue.
This clay tablet was lately re-
covered from the ruins of the ancient
city of Babylon. Another tablet
proved to be a spelling lesson with
some mistakes in it. which had been
rubbed out in the soft clay by aboy's
thumb. The thumb print is as clear
as if made yesterday. Will any of
our paper literature last so long?

Britain to Use Decimal System T?

There lisa new agitation in England
for the adoption of the decimal sys-

throughout the British Empire.
Instead of the present cumbersome
pounds, shillings and pence, money
table like our own is urged. The
reformers would go further and ap-
ply the decimal system to all weights
and measures as well as to money.
The decimal system is already in use
in most of the countries of Europe.
