THE RIGHT WAY FOR ELY.

son for jealousy between Ely and Ely
CITY and the attendant attacks on
the latter by the former. Sifted to
the bottom this affair on the part OF
Ely is the outgrowth solely of selfish
ness on the part of a few, kindled
10 fame and action by lawyers look
ing for fees. free advertising and
mayhap little revenge or possibly
something still deeper in the way OF
automatically extended retainers,
which, happily. have not been forth
coming.
Elv City has poured hundreds OF
thousands of dollars into circulation
in Elv and has given to the latter
a townsitc where it can turn people
to with assurance of holding them,
if desirability of location, health and
cleanliness and assuredly excellent
realty values afford inducements
That ELY has little to advance under
the headings mentioned is absolutely
trne and by the fair minded is so
admitted. The town is in depres-
sion. its limits are narrow and the
housinp of such population there as
will he had here in a few years would
ha ont of the question. As matter
of fact Ely could not today accom-
MEDIATE the combined populations or
Ely City and Ely. Attempt at hous-
ing the population of Ely last win
ter and the long list of fatalities that
attended is yet fresh in mind.
Nature intended Ely City and Ely
to he one. and they will be. Ely is
not going to suffer from the growth
to higher. cleaner and healthier
ground. A few of the calamity
shriekers may convince the world
that their property has deteriorated
in value and may thus reap of their
own sowing of calamity, but on the
whole Ely realty values will ad-
vance rather than decline because OF
any influence made by the growth
of Ely City, which will without ques-
ton be the center of population in
a wear or so, and as such one of the
biggest and busiest towns of the
west To the thoughtful, opportun-
ity taking business man this outline
is not new. He has already reae
the same conclusion and knows that
in the very nature of things the out
come must lie as indicated above. If
there is blame to place it is not on
Ely City. the Townsite company or
any individual who has participated
in the making of Ely City. Nature
is the guilty party. Throw your
rocks her way if you have kick COM
ing, Mr.. Elyite. But better still,
throw no rocks Put your hand to
the wheel of progress, go with the
tide and help to build up all the dis

sore burden If Licenses from h II

the district. 1t is big enough for al
today but not one jot too big for the
population which is going to make
within comparatively short time a
mining city greater than Butte and
which will know no Ely, nor no Ely
City, but just one big town.
