Navy Going Some.

The weekly quota that each dis
trict is called on to furnish for the
navy is now limited to a definite
number. The bureau of naviga-
ton recently issued a bulletin,
which says in part: "All enlist
ments will now be limited to 25
per week in each district. A
shortage one week may be made up
the following week. These orders
do not apply to men who ~re-enlist."
This would indicate that the navy
has almost reached its authorized
strength of $4,000 men.

PRESSURE
CAUSING ALARM
FIRE FIGHTERS SEE DANGER
IN LACK OF WATER
SUPPLY

The water pressure declined again
last night and men who we're in
the fire house to organize a volun-
teer fire department were hurried
into the alleys, to patrol them, by
Fire Grief Murphy. The pressure
gauge for a long time refused to
register more than 60 pounds, 30
pounds under the amount called for
in the contract the water company
holds with the county.
When asked today the reason
for the pressure being off last night
A. l.. Kent. in charge of the water
company's office, refused to make
any statement. Fire Chief Muir
ply states hat Kent explained the
trouble to him and it is understood
that Kent and the fire chief had a
verbal clash at noon in the course
of which the chief demanded of
Kent that he tell why the pres
sure was not kept at normal.
Kent states that on the first
night when the pressure was low
and when the valve on the mala-
pal was found to be closed, the
pressure was off for only As minu-
ties and was reduced for a little
over an hour. He also says that
the emergency pressure, controlled
from the fire house, could have
been used in case of fire and that
the town was never in danger from
fire owing to a water shortage.
On this point Chief Murphy diff
fers radically with the water COM
pany man. He says that the esti-
mate made by Kent of the time
the pressure was off or reduced is
far to low, that he made the dis
covery at about 5 o'clock in the
afternoon and that it was not until
we'll into the evening that the pres
sure again became normal. In
speaking of the danger from fire
on occasions when the water pres
sure was reduced, Chief Murphy
said, Let anyone tell me this
will tell him something"
Kent says that 40 pounds pres
sure is enough t o fight a fire and
Chief Murphy says that 80 is not
enough. Kent says that on the
right of the big fire on Main street
when the ninth hose went on the
pressure was not owe 40 pounds.
Chief Murphy stated after tina fire
that the pressure in the ninth hose
was as strong as in the first.
When asked what Kent told him
as an explanation of the pressure
being down last night, Chief MUIR
ply said that Kent told him what
the trouble had been. That is all
he would say on the subject. This
morning he said hat 40 pressure
values would not have remedied
the trouble last night.
This afternoon Kent stated that
on the first night the pressure de-
clined the main valve, controlled
by "a large wheel, had been closed
so tight it was necessary to use a
bar to open it. He said that the
water company's men first tried
the valve and supposed it "a open
but on discovering hat the main
tank was overlooking, the source OF
trouble was at nee traced to the
main valve. He said that it was
evident the valve had been tamper-
ed with, and not by boys, as no
small force must have been exert
ed to close it SO tight.

Companions Nearly Drown Boy

Wallace Throll, eight years of
age. narrowly escaped drowning a
few days ago when. according to
his father, a gang of boys swim
ming in a Sparks irrigation ditch
minutes and rendered him NEON
scious. After being instructed
by his father not to enter the
water. young Throll was ordered
by the boys to take his choice be-
tween undressing or being thrown
into the ditch. After undressing
and entering the water, the boys
seized him and held him under un-
til he became unconscious.

SAYS DOPE WAS
EASILY SECURED
SAYS SHE FOUND NARCOTICS
WERE EASILY OBTAINED
HERE

Miss Susie Brown, colored. late
of Goldfield, is a prisoner in the
county Jail. Her Imprisonment was
voluntary. Susie being addicted
to the use of drugs.
Susie a out of dope, and did
everything within her power to
overcome the after effects. After
walking around until well nigh ex-
hausted she called at the police
station and gave herself up. When
asked what she had been doing
she remarked: Il have just been
walking around in an endeavor
to duck the law"
Then Susie told of her plight.
She related how she found 1t i'm
possible to purchase any narcotics
in Tonopah, but sad to relate con-
fessed that she had always been
able to procure the drugs desired
in almost any quantity by paying
a dollar and a half for a prescrip-
ton in Goldfield. She volunteered
no information regarding the doc
tor that was doing a thriving bust
ness contrary to the laws of the
United States and the state of Ne
vada, simply asking that she be
sen somewhere that she might re-
ceive proper treatment.
The woman was taken befors
Judge Mark r. Averill of the dis
trict court. and upon the proper
showing the woma was ordered
committed to the state hospital at
Reno.-Tonopah Times.
Susie Brown is supposed to be
the colored m who was arrest
ed here a short time ago under the
name of Susie Burnes, charged
with stealing $40 from a local tailor
while they were in a wine room.
Susie was a confirmed dope fiend
and led the officers to the place
where she had buried the $40. after
have been kept without dope for
many hours.
After leading the officers to the
place where the money was hid
den she was permitted to have fill
ed a prescription which she stated
she was using "to break the habit"
She was asked how long she had
been breaking the habit and if she
had been breaking it for a long
time and to both questions she
made no reply.
At that time nothing vas said
regarding the woman being a
dope fiend, for it was thought an
investigation was to be started and
the matter was kept quiet. She is
said to have herself stated that
she had disclosed the name of the
physician who vas giving her the
prescriptions, but the authorities,
1t is said, decided that nothing
could be done and the investiga-
ton IA dropped.

l.. V. NJ, Massilon, Ohio.-The
Red Hill Florence mine is now be-
ing developed in a comprehensive
manner, employing a large force of
men, and the property is equipped
with one of the best surface plants
in the Goldfield district. Good in
dications of pay ore have been re-
vealed by recent work. as will he
noted by reference to news arti-
cles appearing weekly in The News.
Actual development work was start
ed on the 50O-foot level Of the
mine only a short time ago, after
a large amount of work had been
done in repairing the old workings.
The men in charge of the COM
pany's affairs here are we'll salts
fled with the results obtained and
have the utmost confidence in the
successful outcome of their efforts
to make a producing mine.
Il. f.. W., Louisville, Ky.-Stocks
of all Goldfield companies are now
at low ebb in the markets and
quotations do not in the remotest
sense reflect the intrinsic value of
the properties. Kewanas, Atlanta,
Great Bend and others that nov
have large quantities of pay ore in
sight have been quoted at far high
err figures when they we're mere
prospects, with not a pound of COM
mercial ore to their credit. They
will revive later.

NEW MOVIE HOUSE WORTHY
OF INCREASED PATRONAGE

The Main Street Idle Hour Theatre
is fast nearing completion. When
finished it will be one of the most
complete and commodious places of
amusement in the county. 1t is
probable that the place will open next
week. In the meantime the new
management is putting on program
every night at the Opera House.
The films are furnished by the Uni
versal Film company, one of the best
in the business. The programs are
excellent and good crowds are greet
ing the new management every night.
Every citizen in the community should
boost for the Movie House and give
the management all the encourage
ment possible by increased patronage.
The new owners have come to stay.
They are doing their best to give the
people of Paw Paw and vicinity a
good clean up-to-date place of amuse-
ment.. We should have one such
place of entertainment in the village,
and it is up to us to give the en-
couragement it merits. Boost for the
Movies.

ONE CARTRIDGE TO END OWN
LIFE RATHER THAN CAPTURE

Following is a portion of a letter
received by E. F. Parks from Guy
Griffin, Paw Paw boy now in the U.
S. Navy:---I am on the Finland, an
armed Merchantmen of the White
Star Line from New York to Liver
pool and London. We leave New
York for Liverpool at four o'clock to-
day, it is three now. There are twenty
two of us in the crew, and we carry
four inch guns. am gun captain
on one as / was of the 5 inch gun on
the Delaware. We carry rich cargo,
so if the German Submarines get US,
it will be worth their time. Also if
they capture us they will line us up
and shoot. Our orders are to save
one cartridge to shoot ourselves with
before we would submit to being
taken prisoner. Well if you read of
the Finland going down, l guess we
would all go with her.

SHERIFF BEATTIE, COUNTY
CLERK DECKER AND DIR. ]. II.
GIFFIN COMPOSE VAN BUREN
COUNTY BOARD.
SHERIFF DISTRIBUTES CARDS
Enrolment Blanks and Complete In
structions Have Been Placed in the
Hands of all Supervisors.

Michigan is now organized with all
the preliminary steps taken to carry
out the provisions of the selective
conscription law. The Governor has
issued instructions to all Sheriffs and
it is anticipated that within ten days
from the time the President makes
his proclamation there will be COM
plete enrolment in the state.
The Van Buren county Board whose
duty it will be to have charge of the
registration and draft in this county
is composed of Sheriff Gladstone r.
Beattie, County Clerk Royal f. Deck
er and DR.. John r. Giffin of Bangor.
The Board held a meeting in Paw
Paw to arrange preliminaries the first
Of this week, and on Wednesday, the
Sheriff placed the requisite number OF
registration cards with complete in
structions in the hands of the various
supervisors in the county.
The Selective Conscription bill has
passed both houses of Congress, but
some features of the bill have been
in the hands of a conference for
week and no adjustment or comprom-
Use has as yet been reached. The
points in discussion are "The Roose-
velt Volunteer" clause and the cage
Limit" for draft. The Senate would
give Roosevelt power to raise volun-
teer division for service in France,
while the House is opposed. The
House would make the age limits for
conscription from twenty-one to forty
while the Senate wants twenty-seven
years the maximum limit. 1t is pro-
bable that the bill will have TO be sent
back for further discussion before an
agreement can be reached. Every
thing is ready however SO that the
enrolment and subsequent draft can
proceed Immediately and without de-
lay, just as soon as an agreement is
reached and the proclamation is made
by the President.
