THREE RECRUITS
LEAVE FOR ARMY
WILL. LEAVE TOMORROW
MORNING

Frank Treloar, Harry Johnson
and Frank Holmberg left here this
morning to join the S19th regiment
of engineers. Treloar and Johnson
are registered in this district for the
selective draft and Holmberg was
transferred from Tonopah. All
three enlisted through Sergeant
Douglass.
For the first time since the draft
contingents started leaving. men left
here to join the army with only a
few people at the depot to bid them
goodbye, but in the case of Ire
loar, Johnson and Holmberg there
was no way to avoid this, as 1t was
not certain until late yesterday
afternoon that they would leave and,
although attempts were made last
night to cur musicians for a band
to go to the depot this morning, the
attempts had to be abandoned as but
few musicians could be reached last
night.
Realizing the boys were due to
leave without anything being done
in their honor if they left this morn
ing, Sheriff ingalls, e~ndeavored to
persuade them to wait until Sunday
morning, but this they did not want
to do.
The fact that they would
leave this morning was not known to
Deputy Sheriff Box, who furnishes
transportation on behalf of the To-
cal board in such cases, until late
in the afternoon and this left little
time for persons who in the
past have been instrumental in ar
ranging affairs in honor of boys
leaving to join the army.
However, the three recruits were
given a big lunch by Mrs. Corning,
which will in some measure COM
pensate for their being sent away
u~nheralded.
A number of other men, enlist
I'D through Sergeant Douglass and
over draft age, did not leave this

on the back over the prospect OF
quick and rich returI Upon their
investments. The company has just
received a report on two or lore
samples sent to Smith, Emery & Co.,
the San Francisco chemists and
chemical engineers. One of these
samples shows 3.04 per cent of W20
and the other 2.69 per cent, the for

Verdi and the latter from the claim
of George A. Foster. This" said
Mr.. Woodson, one of the promoters
of the company, indicates clearly
that the deposit covers a wide area"
More samples, taken from various
claims and at different depths, will
be enalyzed at once. The company
will begin active operations at once.
Two wagon loads of materials and
lumber started for the field Monday,
and the carpenter work will be rush
ed. Arrangements have been made
for a drill and it is expected to
have same in operation by the lat
ter part of next week.
Mr.. Woodson and the men asso-
ciated with him are enthusiastic
over the unusual surface showing.
The great Searles Lake in California
shows a smaller surface percentage
than the Dixie Valley lake, yet one
company operating at Searles Lake
made a net profit of $133,00O during
the month of October alone. The
Dixie Valley lake is larger than the
Searles lake, and the potash seems
to be very widely distributed v it.
Fallon is the natural gateway to
the Dixie Valley and the develop
ment of a great potash industry
there would mean much to the pros
perity and success of the town and
county.-Fallon Standard.

Border Saloon Question Again

Demanding that the liquor licen-
ses of the saloons at Wendover,
in Elko county near the Utah line,
be revoked, the assistant attorney
general of Utah, the Sheriff of
Tooele county and officials of the
Western Pacific railroad recently
appeared before the Elko county
liquor board and filed a petition
asking that the licenses of the sa-
looms be revoked. Wendover is
situated a half mile from the state
line, on the Utah side, but there
has sprung up on the Nevada side
a town consisting solely of saloons
that dispense liquor to the resi-
dents of the town on the Utah side.
1t is commended that the saloons are
a to the railroad and that
in the past three months IS train
ed railroad men have been dis
charged because of them.

COAL PRICES ARE
RAISED At MINES
GOLDFaELD FUEL COMMITTEE
SAYS DEALERS MAKE
SMALL PROFIT

The local fuel committee has
been notified that an increase of
As cents per ton became effective
this morning at the Utah mines.
The price of Wyoming coal is or
Gered decreased 20 cents per ton
at the mines. The increase will
only effect coal shipped after this
morning and is not to apply on
coal now in the yards of dealers.
Wyoming coal has been selling
at the mines for 1895 and Utah
zeal al $3.50. The new rates
make the prices of Utah and Wyo-
ming coal the same at the mines,
or 1915.
The price of 1915 per ton ap-
plies to prepared Sizes" or to the
grade that is handled by dealers
here.
For months past there have been
some complaints in Goldfield that
the coal delivered to consumers
has not been screened so as to en-
tirely eliminate dust, and in con-
Eection with this the state fuel adj
ministrator has stated that coal de-
hvered to dealers contains this
dust and that for the dealers to
eliminate it with the present close
margin of profit would entirely
wipe out the profit and put the
dealers out of business. Members
of the local fuel committee state
it is the intention of the govern
rnent to have the coal delivered to
the in the same condition
in which the retailer receives It
from the mines and that there is
no way to secure cleaner coal than
is sold here at the present time.
Starting with the belief that
there was a good profit in the coal
business here, the local committee
thoroughly Investigated the situa-
ton and members of the committee
state that after an investigation
that covered thoroughly every
lhase of the coal question they dis
covered that the margin of profit
was in some cases as low as 10
cents per ton and that in all cases
the dealers were operating on a
margin Of profit far below that
secured in other business and that
this has been the ase for years
past.
1t was demonstrated to the COM
mittee that when prices were rails
cd in nearby towns the price re-
NAMED the same in GOldfield and
in general the investigation con-
vinced the committee. that for years
past the public has been receiving
the best possible coal from local
dealers and at a price that permit
ted but a small margin of profit.
There is a the present time
about 500 tons of coal in Goldfield
and increased prices under the new
order will not become effective I'M
til this has been used.

THINKING ALOUD
 IS RUSSIAN HABIT
(Collier's Weekly)

Along the Nevsky that evening in the parks and open spaces, little herds of people were packed together as sheep crowd together under a tree on an August afternoon. In the center two persons debated. shaking their hands in each others faces. They had been talking like that for weeks all over Russia.
 All Petrograd was one big village meeting-the village habit of talking over together the villages business be- ing transferred to the capital. And coming in late at night from the edge of the town, you could see every now and then these black little clubs of peo- pie still talking, still huddled there, vaguely pathetic, like sheep under the | trees.
 Any one of hundreds of excited 1 phrases flung off in these little debat- ing clubs might, I suppose, have sent man to jail or Siberia a generation ago. Now they could say anything, gather anywhere, listen as long as they wanted. Russians have gift for talk ing and a happy lack of self conscious ness in doing it. They really like to make speeches. MT. Root, in one of the lighter moments of his stay in Petrograd, remarked that one of the | tragedies of the Russian revolution was the turning loose on the world 1S0, 0,0O0,- 900 orators.

 Word was received from Wenden that the Mineral Valley Auxiliary has subscribed the amount allotted and was starting on a campaign to double the quota. Several branches and auXiliaries have now secured the amount fixed for their share of the $1,000,000 but all of them are planning to increase the amount in order that the American Red Cross may have double the amount with which to carry on the splendid work.
 Red Cross Parade
 Plans for the big Red Cross parade are making great progress and details of this affair will be found in another part of the paper. All of the teams of women workers are still working hard to secure q liberal subscription from Phoenix and Maricopa county. Every part of the district now in the drive, is begging away and piling up a re- port which will be worthy of the men who are served by the Red Cross or ganization.

BRIGGS HEWITT |S GENUINE SHERIFF

If some. moving picture director oi scout should run across Sheriff Briggs Hewitt of Graham county, that county could not afford to meet the offer of the movie company. Sheriff Hewitt succeeded Sheriff Mcbride one of the victims of the Powers boys and Sisson. He was in town the other day having brought the murderers to the peniten- tiary where they entered upon a nom inal life sentence. Sheriff Hewitt is a typical western sheriff such as ap- peared in the pictures of the west long before there were any movies. That type was adopted by the movies and all over the country it is now familiar one.
 The sheriff is tall, black haired, black eyed. His nasal adornment is distinct ly Roman. He wears a broad brimmed black Stetson and black, flowing mustache. There is not in any movie studio in the whole country such an ideal sheriff

The Red Cross drive continued yes- terday to increase in magnitude and results. Cash and checks were received from every source and donations for the Red Cross auction were numerous.
 From all over the Central Arizona chapter gratifying reports were re- ceived at headquarters. Several of the districts have already reported completing their quotas and starting on the second lap to double the quotas.
 In order to please all parts of the districts covered by the Central Ari- Zona Chapter it is planned to have a series of meetings following up the war fund campaign. These meetings will be addressed by soldier speakers if the executive committee can se- cure them from the national head quarters. The success of the meetings arranged for Corporal Whited of the United States army and Sergeant White of the Canadian expeditionary force has started this movement.
 Goldberg Collection Grows
 Additional donations of stock have been made to the Red Cross auction to be held later under the supervision of Dave Goldberg. Lem Cole added a variety yesterday. His offer included hogs and pigs as well as cows and calves. Several other donations were made to the Red Cross auctioneer in- cluding a pony, a dog and a rooster. A full list will appear later.
 Staff Workers Busy
 Treasurer Prince with Auditor Wood have been kept bus-- every minute since the campaign began, Frank Land and Dr. Futile have been called in to assist in receiving reports from work CTS. The staff is being increased daily and still more help will be needed be- fore the campaign closes.
