lockout on March 10th, quit work on
the 9th, calling out 10000 workmen.

any length of time.

During the closing proceedings Q
this interesting conference strong an,
appropriate resolutions were adopte,
looking toward the abridgement o
past troubles and toward heroic ad
vancement all along the line of churel
work proper. Some Of the resolu
tions are SO far in the vanguard O
moral advancement as to attack anC
denounce the use of tobacco-whici
is apt to fit up to the clergy about a
close as it does to the laity.
Among the new features was tn,

tion and the adoption of governins
bylaws and constitution. 1t wa.

The Cut-Off to Fall Lake.

John Hawkinsen, county road sup
erinteRdent, was in the city Thurs
day and Friday In company with
Rich. Whiteside, he made trip to-
wards Winton to look up the pro-
posed cutoff to Fall lake. The county
commissioners, at their road appro-
priation meeting, appropriated $1,000
to build the road, but the sum was
found inadequate and no one would
attempt the work for that money.
The proposed cutoff is from the
net of nw4 of section rs a little east
of north through the properties of
Brown Bros. & Miller, the Trust &
Loan company and Max Shapiro, to
WintOn, shortening the present way
of reaching Fall lake by about two
and half miles. MI. Hawkinson was
not prepared to say whether the
county would undertake the work
now or not. More money is needed.

tion made under it to receive the var
| ious pipes and other appurtenrnces
belonging to the heating apparatus

Beautiful RAIN" by Misses Stewart
and Goldsworthy. assisted by the
class of beautiful boys and girls. pro-
duced a feeling among the audience
that the grievance they harbered
against the weather clerk for the
overflow of moisture we have been
blessed with this season, was not in
accordance with the divine music
rendered on the stage that evening
and that the best thing to do was to
forgive and forget. The gatherings
produced in the song nevertheless
were far more beautiful than the
originals have been this summer.
The class also accompanied MI. Law
renee and Miss Cowling in the rendi-
tion of the s'Lullabye from Erminie. y
Our vocabulary of words is not
sufficient to express the charming
manner in which this duet was given.
suffice it to say that both are good
singers and made hit.
Mr.. Lahti evidently knows how to
handle an euphonium, as was plainly
evidenced by the manner he played
his solo, '.Stella Polka" accompanied
by the temperance band. The con-
cert closed with a laughable musical
sketch entitled, ''Serenade to Dinah''
nv the Ely Cifv hand in which the
band made up as MINISTRIES with the
usual bones and tambO, gags and
songs, followed by grand musical
selection admirably played.
Altogether the concert and dedica.
tion of the new Opera house was a
success and the promoters of the en-.
tertainment deserve much credit for
the manner in which the affair was
handled. The net receipts of the eve
ming were S160.

Looks Suspicious,

The spur tracks being graded at the
Pioneer, will in all probability be
ready for the track layers by the end
of the week. Considering the large
amount of work in progress at this
mine and the rushing manner in
which the improvements are being
pushed, an inference could be made
that the Pioneer intended to DO some
shipping this season. We sincerely
hope this may be the case.
