5000 Votes Lost

Few people realize the drain. that
has been placed on Nevada since the
start of the war. Politicians have
started to figure on the vote for
next election. Men now in the army
are practically lost as far as next
election is concerned and it is es-
timated 5000 are in the service, in
Guiding shipyard workers. Just
what effect this heavy loss of voting
power will have is a question that
keeps the party leaders guessing. 1t
is said to be certain that the wo-
mems vote will increase materially
" that of two years ago and that
where a woman voted one ticket and
a man another last year, this will
not happen this year, and the wo-
mems vote will tally heavily.

Chink Peddles Booze

been caught redhanded in selling
a bottle of whiskey to an Indian.
The .Chinaman is said to have dis
posed of % bottles of whiskey to
Indians on the Fourth of July and
since then the officers had been on
his trail. Constable Cotant deter
mined to catch him and furnished
an Indian with IS to buy whiskey
from the Chinaman. The Indian
had downed half the evidence before
the officer could reach the cabin
from a point where he had witness

TOURING CAR DAMAGED IN
COLLISION WITH POST

A ch~auffeuse whose hands and
feet and eyes refused to cooperate
at a critical moment last evening
rammed a big touring car, head
on, into a post on Crook street, be-
tween Columbia and Main and
brought down on the top of the
car a heavy wooden awning sup
ported by the post, which was cut
in two. At this STANCE of the pro-
ceedings little damage was done ex-
cept to the windshield, which was
broken, but in maneuvering to free
the car, the woman drove it along
under the broken boards resting on
the top and the top was a heavy
sufferer. Continuing across the
street, the car was stopped in time
to prevent running into a telegraph
pole by a hurried application of the
brakes and the driver abandoned it
and sent for a garage man, who
quickly tanned the wild a and
backed it into his garage.

CIGARETTES AID
MEN WHEN HURT
SMOKES BENEFIT WOUND
ED MEN

PARIS, July 13.-Anti-cigarette
reformers would get scant consider
alton from the medical corps of the
United States army, according to
major surgeons stationed in hospi-
tails along the front, some of whom
say that the cigarette produces a re-
taxation for the wounded and the
men just out of the trenches that
nc medicine could possibly produce.
Il have seen men borne in on
stretchers or staggering in on their
feet, with their faces %contorted
showing either physical pain or
mental strain from their grim ex-
%periences in the trenches, relax,
smile and ask for something to eat,
after having a 'whiff' of a cigarette"
said a surgeon in charge of a casu-
atty clearing station.
THE effect of the cigarette is
wonderful. 1t certainly is not me-
dicinal for the action is too quick.
AS soon as the lads take their first
Whit they seem eased and reliev-
ed of their agony"

CITIES ARE
MADE OBJECT
Of RAIDS
ALLIED AIRMEN CAUSE HAVOC
In MUNITION MAKING
CENTERS

LONDON, July 13.-In the opin-
ion of British government officials
Germany's emotional crisis, due to
air raids on cities along the Rhine,
will be of long duration, with pro-
gressive attrition of German morale.
The Rhine, they point out, is a
broad river as we'll as a long m
and it is an ~unmistakable guide to
airmen flying high by day or night.
Many intuition towns are distri-
buted along that stream, and also
within easy reach of allied airmen
are the iron towns dotting the river
Saar.
Germany cannot, it is argued, put
up an effective air barrage along the
whole length of the Rhine and the
Saar, although she can, by robbing
her battle-line, keep fighting planes
on the Rhine to attack the raiders.
However, when the British recently
raided Saarbrucken, Germany lost
three to one when she sent up fight
ing machines for defense work, and
S%aarbrucken was bombed just the
same.

CAMP OF MIDAS COMING TO
FRONT IN MINING ACTIVITY

Superintendent c. B. Welshons of
the Golconda Telephone & Power
company, returned last night from
a business trip to the Midas district.
He says Midas is commencing TO
look like a regular camp, that much
new development work is being
done and that the prospects for all
the properties look exceedingly
good.
Welshons says that George Shoup,
controlling about three properties in
the district, is forging ahead in
great style with his development
work and expects to some
thing of Importance in the near flu
ture.
The Elko Prince, says Mr.. Wal

thing else connected with the mine

AERIAL AMBULANCE

HOSPITAL

LAKE CHARLES, La, July 13.-
An aerial ambulance assigned to
Gerstner Field near here has made
it's first run in actual service and
has fulfilled the expectations of
officers who advocated it's adoption.
A lieutenant at target practice at
the aerial gunnery school about 20
miles from the flying field recently,
descending at terrific speed from
an high altitude and firing his ma
chine gun at a target placed on the
surface of the lake, failed to flat
ten out sufficiently when he COM
pleted his dive and crashed into the
water. He was rescued Immediate
ly, but while not seriously injured
was badly bruised and shaken up,
necessitating a few days confinement
to quarters.

a half to two hours over a rough
and roundabout road. Instead of
telephoning for a car the aerial am
bulance was ordered.
Forty-five minutes later it had
made the 4O-mile flight from Gerst-
ner Field to the lake and return and
the injured aviator was in his quar-
tiers receiving medical attention.
The flying ambulance is described
as a large biplane with the usual
seat for the pilot and an adjustable
or reclining chair for the patient.
To distinguish it a large Red Cross
is painted on the wings.

Sedition Cases Pending

Six sedition cases in which
charges are made under the espion-
age act are to be presented to the
mex federal grand jury by the Uni
ted States district attorney. The
charged are against persons who are
alleged to have made disloyal or
seditious utterances. Since the war
started the federal attorney has had
interned as alien enemies 20 men
from different parts of the state. OF
these, four have been paroled and
five have been sent to Fort Douglas,
Utah, for the duration of the war.
Others are in various jails. Two
alleged draft evaders were arrested
at Ely last week by department of
justice officials and have been bound
over to await the action of the next
federal grand jury.

yielding excellent material. A
heavy output continues from the
200 level, and the 210O workings
are rapidly being placed in shape
for production.
The Ophir resumed production
last week with ore mined on the
1000 and 2100 levels. Preparations
are being completed for extensive
work in newly opened sections of
the property. The Sierra Nevada is
sending 35 to SO tons weekly to
the mill, the product sampling $35

Local mining interest Is centered
on development of the wonderful
Mexican vein, recently uncovered at
a depth of $500 feet in the Next
can mine. In size and value this
orebody is ranking among the rich

is opening to mining a vast area of
virgin territory of splendid promise.

shows consistent strength through
