Harry Hills Theater in New York was
crowded eight days ago to see Sullivan re-

he was to take part.
Mr.. Hill opened the proceedings by in

Jack GiImer Branching Out I'm q
New Enterprise.
From Charles Lampman of Glover VAL
ley, who was in town on business yester-
day, says the Elko Independent, we learn
that arrangements have been made for the
building Of a Touring mill on Warm
Creek, in the southern end Of that valley,
some time this Summer, in time to re-
ceive the wheat crop of that section. to be
produced this coming season. At a recent
meeting Of the farmers Of Glover Valley,
for the purpose of inaugurating the meas
ure, it was agreed that unless Mr.. Gilmer,
who owns the Warm Springs property,
would himself build such a mill as de-
sired, the farmers in the neighborhood
would form a joint stock company and
erect one themselves. Mr.. Lampman was
selected by the meeting to go to Salt Lake
City and confer with Mr.. Gilmer in rela-
ton to the matter, and invested with
authority to take definite action. Mr..
Lampman had just returned from Utah,
and informed us that upon receiving the
proposition Of the people Of Glover Valley.
" Jack" without hesitation, agreed to put
up the mill himself, and authorized Mr..
Lampman to take the preliminary steps
for its construction ct once. Mr.. Lamp
man is a very competent millwright, and
will have charge OF the work. Having
thus secured what viii afford them on
venient milling facilities, the ranchers Of
Glover and that vicinity will COW Q large
acreage OF wheat this Spring.
