Bulk of Troops at Erzerum
Apparently Left the
Stronghold
WHILE RUSSIANS
WERE ATTACKING
Reinforcements for the Gar
rison Were Long Dis
tance Away

While no news has been received of or
ganized resistance by Turks in the vi
cinity of Erzerum since the Turkish
stronghold in Armenia was taken by
Russians, Petrograd advices indicate that
it was thought possible the Turks would
make stand on the western edge OF the
Erzerum valley, IL miles from the city
1t is not thought possible that they have
been able to erect any powerful fortifi-
cation there, however.
The latest Petrograd official statement
reported the Turks fleeing in disorder.
Details from the Russian side indicate
no large captures of men when the for
tress fell. The bulk of the Turkish
troops were apparently well on the re-
treat westward at the time the inner
forts were taken, only the rear guard
taking part in the last days fighting.
Reinforcements which the Turks were
sending to Erzerum are reported to have
been five or six days march distant
when the city surrendered.
Meanwhile the Russians are active
along the Black sea coast to the north
Of Sebastopol, dispatch reporting the
bombardment of Nitzesu, Is miles east
of Trebizoni. A Russian advance land
ward in the direction of Trebizond on
the coast north of Erzerum has already
been unoflieially reported
There appears to be somewhat greater
military activity in Galicia than for
some days past. Petrograd reports an
Austrian defensive on the Dneister, near
Useieczko, the attack being launched aft
er intensive artillery preparation. The
assault was repulsed, it is declared.
Afsterdam advices indicate that some
important military movement may be
in PREPARATION on the western front.

a representative of the Western New
ada Miner tnat nv and his assistants
would shortly begin work on the
survey of the proposed scenic auto
road around the west side of Walker
lake to Schurz, thence to Carson City
and Reno via Yerington The survey
of the proposed route was ordered by
the board of county commissioners
at their last regular meeting.
The road as planned will skirt the
west shore of Walker lake from Cat
creek to Schurz, avoiding the high
passes and SUBMITS and furnishing
an all winter route for autos between
Goldfield, Tonopah and Reno and
forming an important link connecting
the Lincoln highway at Reno and the
Midland trail at Tonopah, thereby
placing Nina, Luning, Hawthorne and
Schurz practically ON both Of these
great national highways. 1t also
would form the short route between
Reno and Los Angeles and other

will necsssitate the building OF rs
miles of road around the west side
of Walker lake, which would cost
quite sum of money, but even at
that it would be worth it to Mineral
county, through advertising her great
mineral resources and scenic beauty
to the thousands of auto tourists
from all parts of the United States
who would pass over 1t en- route to
the Pacific.
Owing to the geological and topo-
graphical conditions Of the proposed
route, when the road is once con-
structed it will be as permanent as
the hills. And as to the great scenic
beauty, it cannot be surpassed by
any road in the United States, and
this alone would be big inducement
for motorists to travel this route.
For rs miles they would look down
into the blue and emerald waters OF
Walker lake, a veritable gem in a
desert setting Above towers Mount
Grant, the Pixies Peak of Nevada, and
numerous other peaks and crags
some of which rise straight ant
sheer from the waters edge.

To Cheaper living

Go to market and make your own
selections, thereby getting better
values.
Buy staples in bulk so far as
possible.
Buy fruit and vegetables in season.
Limit the use of butter and eggs.
especially while high prices maintain.
Use business methods in your

The following conclusions were

Snapshot menus are expensive
Menus should be carefully planned,

Do your menu making without dis
