SOrrOwing Relatives and Friends
See Remains of Late Pioneer
Laid TO Rest

Samuel f. Paul. the pioneer. was
laid to rest in Ely cemetery yesterday
afternoon The funeral WIS one of the
largest ever seen in Ely. Pioneers OF
White Pine, relatives and friends of
the deceased joined in attending the
sad ceremony.
The funeral services took place at
the home of Mrs. Peacocke in Murry
street. where those who had know the
late pioneer took last look at the face
they had hnow so we'll in life. 1t was
a strong, handsome face, the type of
manhood that had made the Nevada of
| today.
Archdeacon Bull of Salt Lake de-
livered the funeral address. He chose
as his subject the Life of the Pioneer
and What it Should Stand For" DR..
Bull said:
''The life of the deceased can speak
more eloquently, truly and eulogisti
cally than any words of the preacher.
You knew him. | did not.
"Yet it may not be amiss for me to
add few words to living if l cannot
speak knowingly Of the dead.
1--WE are living in a practical some
would say a materialistic age. The
things of time and sense seem to en-
gross our attention and absorb our in
terest.
"Our friend had more than reached
the allotted age of men the three
score years and ten of Scripture and of
the Book of Common Prayer. This
fact suggests the question put to us by
the Savior of Mankind: What shall
it profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own sole?' In other
words, what is the object and end OF
life? 1t is merely to live out our al
oted span of years in the pursuit of
pleasure and the accumulation of riches
or is it so to live our lives as that they
shall be a source of spiritual advance
ment to ourselves, to others, and the
world in which we live?
"Many of you, like our friend, are
what we call Pioneers, openers of ways
and blazers of paths for those who
come after you to follow. Are these
ways and paths broad enough as to
make it easier for them, not only to
live more comfortably and to increase
in wealth, but also to grow in those in
telectual and moral qualities which
make for true manhood and citizen
ship?
eve speak of the dead as having
gone to the City of God-the New
Jersulaem. Are you, my friends, so
living your lives as to make this town
of Ely veritable city of. God, another
and a newer Jersulaem?
Are you, as its founders and builders
so striving to make the social life Of
the community purer; its business life
more honest; it's political life less
partisan and more patriotic, and to
foster the educational interests of your
children as that virtue and intelligence
shall be the primary ojects sought for
rather than material prosperity as the
aim of life? Are you pioneers Of
spiritual progress to such an extent that
when you life's work is over and your
three score years and ten are COM
pleted it shall be said of each of you
The world he lived in was the richer
for his having lived in it, the poorer
for his departure from it?'
"Again l ask, What shall it profit
man or city of men if he or they
shall gain the whole world and lose
their own souls?

A two-horse team belonging to Joe
Gilbert, employed in hauling lime from
the Marshall kiln to the Graham Mer-
camille Company's new store building,
became frightened at the mouth of the
canyon yesterday afternoon and came
tearing down Aultman street at wild
pace and caromed on the corner of the
Cripps livery barn at the corner of
lower Second and Aultman streets
where the team came to sudden halt.
One horse was considerably jammed
up in coming in contact with the corner
of the stable, but otherwise no great
damage was done, except to the har-
ness.
The remains of Albert Mcknight are
expected to arrive from Elko tomorrow

FREDRICKSON
TELLS BIG FISH STORY

Canon City has many noted fisher
men and during the season a variety
of fish yarns reach the public. 1t is
frequently possible to substantiate
these stories; at times, however, they
can be measured by a tape line rather
than an ONCE ruler. The county clerks
once force has an enviable reputation
for verified stories. It has, however,
been outdone by County Treasurer c.
J. Fredrickson. who has just returned
from a trip to Kansas He stopped OF
enroute at Eads. In Kiowa county, and
tells a story of wonderful hauls which
outdoes the tape line and require q
platform scale to compute. Even then
they must be handled in installments.
A party of Iowa fishermen had been
fishing in the Nee Granda, Nee 500
Pah an Nee No She reservoirs. and
according to the county custodian of
finances. they made haul of seven
wagon loads of flsh, the assortment
showing fish Of every kind known to
the disciples OF Ixaak Walton. Fish
ermen contemplating trip to Eads
will find the lakes fifteen miles distant,
over a practically level country.

The Biggest Street Fair That
Ever Came Out OF The Hills

The street fair Is going to command
q large share of public attention dur
Ing the next two days. 1t Is an enter
prise In which everybody is interested
and is entitled to general recognition.
In addition to the very laudable OBJ
ject which its promoters have in view,
the street fair will be worthy of pat
ronage on account of the fun and en-
tertainment which it will afford. 1t
will be q veritable circus" and its
-Parkade" will be a sort of combina-
ton of the famous Midway Plaisance"
at Chicago, THE Pike" at St Louis,
and The Trail at Portland. 1t will
contain most of the shows, entertain
ments and yaudevilles of the fair and
is sure to be crowded with people at
all times. There will be many unique
and original features, some of them
brought here for the occasion at big
expense to the management
While we are not permitted to di-
vulge any of the secrets of the Park
ade," under severe penalty, it is no
violation of confidence to enumerate
some of Its attractions. Among its
special features will be two continuous
VAuucvlIIG GutcI IdluucuLS, one VI lucm
in charge of Mrs. c. r. C. Dye, and the
other under the management of Mrs.
L. A. Rice. The stupendous character
of these attractions can only be limited
at, their description at this time being
impossible. Sufice 1t to say that they
are genuine mirth-provokers and, in
the language of the advance agent, are
worth many times the price of ad-
mission" No visitor to the street fair
who desires to enjoy a good laugh and
stimulate digestion can afford to miss
seeing these intensely funny vaudeville
performances. They will be found in
big tents dedicated to their special
uses and are destined to supply hun
dreds of people with the gospel Of good
cheer during the next few days.
Mrs. F. H. whipple has been selected
to look after the side show. ''the best
on EARTH" according to the billboard
advertisements. and We have no doubt
that every word in praise of its su-
perior merit is true. The five conti-
nents and the seven seas have been
ransacked to secure curiosities for the
side show and ii is to be a kinder
garten of everything that is marvellous
and Interesting. To miss the side
show at the street fair is like seeing
the play of Hamlet with the meIan-
choly Dane 1.itaed from the cast. A
first class side show is as necessary
to successful street fair as sunshine

is to the growth of vegetation, or fuel
in the aggregation of wonders to be
exhibited under the direction of Mrs.
Whipple at the Depot Park, Thursday
and Friday evenings of this week.
The Eden Musee What recollec-
tons of astonishment and surprise it
conjectures up. 1t takes ns' back to
those callow days when we carried
water for the elephant, and performed
all sorts of stunts at the bidding of
the circus man to get free ticket to
the big tent where the clown and the
ringmaster were the observed of all
observers, and where the giraffe and
the Royal Bengal tiger were like a
realization Of the tales of Sinbad the
Sailor, or of Baron Munchausen, whose
wonderful adventures We had read.
The Eden Musee at the street fair is
to be one of the most attractive of its
amusement resorts, if conscientious eff
fort can bring about that result 1t
will be in charge of Gene Bradbury,
a guarantee of its success.
Yeiser's Colored Minstrels will be
and will do their full share in carrying
out the amusement program. Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of Yeiser's Minstrel troupe, and
1t is no discredit to the Jewish king
that he was not so good a singer as
the colored boys who are to assist in
the merry-making at the park this
week 1
The Ladies' Burnt Cork Minstrels
is another organization that is bound
to achieve distinction at the street
fair and divert the nimble silver pieces
from the pockets of the crowd to the
treasury of the Civic Improvement
League. The Ladies' Burnt Cork Min
strels is composed of the society young
women OF the town, and all their jokes
and jests will be strictly modern and
up-to-date. Every young man in town
is expected to attend this entertain
ment at least twice during the street
fair.

FISHING UNUSUALLY GOOD
IN COLORADO THIS YEAR

The fishing season in Colorado has
opened under unusually favorable con-
ditions this year and the indications
are that It will be one of the best In
the annals of the state. The reports
from the trout streams are most en-
couraRing and from all quarters come
rumors OF big catches Of the speckled
beauties. Fishing parties are going
out every day and by the end of the
current month hundreds OF people who
enjoy the gentle and healthful sport
OF angling will BE- encAmped ON the
0unnison and the lakes along the
slopes OF the Sangre de Christie noun
tains. every one of them having at his
command the best Ashine In the
country.

bridge over the Arkansas river at that
place. While no appropriation has
yet been made by the commissioners
for the contemplated structure, 1t is
probable that action of that kind will
be taken at its next regular session.
A bridge is badly needed at Portland
as it is impossible to cross the river
with vehicles of any character at that
place at present. Footmen can cross
on the railroad bridge. but buggies,
wagons. etc. have to go down the
stream about six miles to make a
crossing.
The last legislature set aside $4,000
for aabridge at Portland and the coun-
ty must do the rest The estimated
cost of the proposed structure Is $10,-
600, which is some $4,000 less than
the outlay for the bridge put in near
the McCumber ranch two years ago.
There are now twelve bridges across
the Arkansas river in this county, built
and supported at the public expense.

Everything on the grounds will divert
