FINE WEATHER CONTINUES.
Warmer Today Than Yesterday, But
Not Uncomfortable.

Although the temperature was high
er today by a few degrees than it was
yesterday, it was not at all uncom-
Portable There was a good breeze
blowing all morning and throughout
the early afternoon from points in the
north and east and this had a ten
dency to lessen the force Of the heat.
Along about / o'clock a bank of clouds
appeared in the south and shut off the
rays Of the sun for half hour or so,
but they were not storm clouds and
when they were blown away the sun
came out with renewed strength.
There are no indications of a storm
in sight for the next twenty-four hours
and the chances are that the weather
will be considerably warmer tomor-
morrow than it has been today.

for him and he will open Il modern up
to-datc store just as soon as building

Fred and Blaclhorse may feel proud to

Mr.. Mcqueen gives a good report of

email growth of grass and in many
places the white sage is so uxuriant
il could be cut with moving machine,
something unknown for thirty years.
All kinds of stock are in fine condition
and sheepmen have special cause to be
thankful. 1t is certain that the desert
between the Snake range and the Salt
Lake e. Los Angeles railroad will win
ter more sheep than ever before.
In speaking of Blackhorse, Mr.. Nc
Queen says it has population of about
$50. There are three townsites sur
veyed; water in abundance can be had
at ten to fifteen feet depth most any
where, which means large hosting
plants to unwater the mines when
depth is attained. There is an assay
office, a real estate office, three stores
or will be when Mr.. Mcqueen opens
his doors -four restaurants, feed
corral and five saloons in the camp.

TOCHERRY CREEK
Connections Made With that Camp
and Cobre MOnday...Eureka Line
Thing Of the Past

"Hello, Ety." was the greeting given
Miss Lewis at w. B. Graham's office
Monday morning.
"Hello." was answered back, with the
question, "Who is it, please?'
"Why, it's Cherry Creek. Don't you
know Cherry? We are no longer iso-
lated, but arc in touch with all the
world
Miss Lewis nearly fell dead, for she
did not know before that Cherry was
on the telephone map.
The operator at the Cherry end of
the line offered congratulations and re-
quested that bottle of champagne be
broken at the mouth of the speaking
tube and that it be charged to the Nc
vada Northern, for it was due to the
Nevada Northern that communication
can now be had.
w. B, Graham was then called to the
phone and asked Cherry Creek if the
cigar he was smoking could be smelled.
"Well, should say Sc" was the re-
ply. "a dead man could smell that. !"
Mr.. Graham then asked if the office
was ready for business, and Cherry in
formed him that it was. Mr.. Graham
at once began to dictate kilograms that
had been piling up for several days,
owing to the fact that the Eureka line
has been out of commits. ion.

THE WEBER CLUB
OF OGDEN COMING
Reaching Out for Trade and for a
Good Time as Well...Coming
Three Hundred Thick

'.Ogden will 60 after business in Ely,
Nev.," says the Standard, land CAM
paign is to be conducted Systematically
and with the cooperation of all the job
bing houses in the city. This was de-
cided upon at the last meeting OF the
Weber Club and was the matter of
inheritance to the business interests of
the city, referred to in President Pin
gree's call issued last week. The as
sembly rooms were crowded, every job
hing house in Ogden was represented
and the gathering was one of the most
enthusiastic held in the club rooms this
year.
after the purpose of the meeting
was announced everybody became i'm
bued with the spirit of the occasion
and before adjournment many had sig
nified their intention of joining in the
festivities during Railroad Day at Ely,
and besides having good time and see
ing the great copper camp, boost for
Ogden. A resolution was passed in
structing the officers of the club to ar
range for an excursion to Ely on the
completion of the new railroad in or
der that all Ogdenites who are inter-
ested in the new camp may have an
opportunity to visit it as soon as the
railroad is completed and take part in
the Railroad Day programme. Ac-
cording to announcements the exercises
will be we'll worth witnessing, as some
of the best speakers in the west have
been secured and barbecue has been
provided for, besides other attractions
innumerable. A rate of $1O.5O for the
round trip has been secured. The date
set for the opening of the road is Sep
tember 20, although there is possibil-
ity of its being changed as the time
draws near. The train will carry
diner and all wiz live right on the
train while away"
The celebration on Railroad Day
promises to be more largely attended
than even the most enthusiastic thought
for. The coming of the Weber Club
will add materially to the occasion. A
large number from Salt Lake will be
here. D. w. Ellis is in receipt of the
following letter, which explains itself:
