Ball Game at Little Sioux
The Missouri Valley aggrega-
ton of ball tossers went to
Little Sioux yesterday for a
game with the progressives of
that hustling town. The score
has been rather changeable,
some saying that the Valley
lost by a good many points,
something like IA to 3, while
some say it was II to 2. How
ever the game was a pretty fast
one and was enjoyed by all
those present.

REAL ESTA. VALUES.

Those who find occasion for COM
plant because real estate values are
not as high in Ely at this time as
they were a year ago, need to re-
member that a year ago they were
operating under boom conditions.
There were not at that time sufficient
houses by any manner of means to
accommodate those who were coming
in and filling the camp with its set
tied population of today. Rooms
then commanded abnormal figures. A
cot meant dollar a night. The man
with ready money to throw up a
shack or a tent and put in cots made
his investment back with big inter-
est in a few weeks. Since then, to
the very great advantage of the dis
and permanent basis, these conditions
have changed Houses have been
put up and the approach of winter
finds the district prepared to COM
fortably care for its people at mod
crate expense. The houses that have
been put up, particularly in Ely City,
represent comfortable homes In
which residents can keep health.
Those in Ely City represent the very
best class of houses that have ever
| been made available for the people of
mining camp. The same can be
said of the houses that have been put
up by the smelter company at Nc
Gill In each of these latter in
stances, high ground, affording splen-
did natural drainage facilities, ground
well above the smoke and dust and
above the water level in the low val
ley and in the gulches, has been
chosen. That there have been those
in command to exercise such care in
providing for growth of the camp is
matter for congratulation. The
fact makes for gain in the value of
all property in the district, as values
may rate under normal and entirely
legitimate conditions. 1t also makes
for health and for general attrac-
tiveness of the camp to men with
families. The more of these who can
be brought in the more business
there will be and the more prosperity
for all the business interests of the
district.

Our friends of the lmpostor and
the Record appear to wish the pub
lie to believe that the News is waging
a fight on Ely. Not So The News is
out for the advancement of all this
district II has no axe to grind with
any resident or any property owner
or with the Commercial club or any
other organization standing for the
advancement of the district. 1t is
with these people and is at their SER
vice whenever they have anything on
hand for the good of McGill, Ely City,
Ely, Lane City, Kimberly or any other
portion of the district with which it
can aid them. We are after the
kickers who are lined up against any
thing and everything the progressive
people and the larger interests in the
district propose for advancement and
fair self protection.

AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS-

The spirit of Ely City men who last
night forwarded Geographic invita-
ton to the American Mining Con-
gress, in session at Joplin, Mo, to
hold its next annual gathering in Ely
City, will have excellent results in
giving wider prominence to Robinson
district, whether Ely City's invita-
ton may or may not be accepted.
However, we want the next session
of the American Mining congress and
we feel the utmost confidence that
if the members vote to come here
they will have taken a step which
none of them will later have occa-
sion to regret. We have a great dis
trict, gentlemen, one in which you
will find much to give you encour-
agement and increased confidence in
the immense industry of which you
are representative Not only will you
see the biggest copper deposits of the
age. and the greatest reduction works
! in the world but you will have oppor-
tunity in side trips to the wonderful
gold camps of Nevada and to the lead
and silver camps of the state to see
more of vast mineral wealth, devel-
oped and developing, than any other
state of the union can show you.
! OF a hearty welcome on the part
| of Ely City and Robinson district and
on the part of all Nevada, we can
assure you. Come and see us.

NEEDS WIPING OUT.

If the sheriff should find means of
closing every one of the dives of
Riepetown, wiping the disreputable
thing from the face of the earth and
driving the residents from the camp,
he would earn the thanks and the
commentator of all decent, law
abiding people in the district. If the
district attorney can find in his law
books provision under which the sher-
if can act to this end. he too will
earn a vote of thanks. Both these
gentlemen are excellent officials and
we believe they will do at all times
all they can for the betterment of
the morals of the district There

NEVADA EDITORIAL NOTES
NEVADA'S GROWTH.

The most striking testimonial oil
all regarding the great improvement
in the fortunes of Nevada comes from
the postoffice department The blue
book of that branch of the govern
ment shows that the number of post
Offices in Nevada has increased by rs
per cent in the past two years. This
is something unprecedented in the
history of the country. No other
state in the union, no matter at what
period of it's history, no matter how
great its business prosperity has been
able to claim such a startling in
crease or anything like it..
OF course, an increase in the num-
Der of postoffices indicates an in
crease in the number of villages and
towns, and hence an increase in the
population. And thus occurs this GU
rious anomaly-that while the CEN
sus department, by perversion of
figures undertakes Nevada's popula-
ton and shows 1t as losing in that
regard, the postoffice department, by
the memorable logic of facts, gives
us the biggest kind of boost.-Reno
Journal.

vaults of the hills to which the pick
and shovel are the only keys, lie mil
lions of stored wealth, awaiting only
the coming of the prospector and the
miner to yield themselves to the
world In the mountains adjacent to
our borders lie, in the streams, the
source of power enough to run the
factories of nation. And the state s
soil is already proving that all it has
needed was water to produce crops
as abundantly as in the rich alluvial
soils of the great river valleys.
And the Free Press in its short
item points to something that Nevada
should not forget-that this is one
of the greatest cattle raising states
! in the union.-Reno State Journal.

There has been entirely too
much gun work contained in the news
of the state during the last two
weeks \ halt is necessary. In Ari-
IONA they are enforcing law which
provides ten days in jail and fine

of this law has worked great change

Rents in Ely are reasonable. Store
prices come under the same heading.
In Ely City houses which are renting
for $25 per month could not be
touched. We're they to be had. for less
than $40 per month in Bisbee or
Cananea. In no mining camp of the
country are there so excellent houses
available to renters as here. Nor in
no other mining camp is there real
estate available to mine workers and
others at SO reasonable rates as here.
Every man has the opportunity to
invest in Ely City, in lots which will
in a few years at the most represent
value double or treble that of today.

DON'T BE A KICKER.

When you pull down the town in
which is your home, you are pulling
down yourself, and when you help its
growth you build up yourself and
your neighbor. Try and Danish from
your mind the mistaken idea that all
good things are away off in some
other locality. Give your town all
the praise it can legitimately bear
1t certainly will do you no harm and
will cost you nothing; and above all
patronize your home institutions

our intention to give you the names
of people who from day to day tell
us that most excellent position has
been taken by the News, citizens of
Ely, major, and urge us to keep it
up. In fairness to these people we
do not intend to publish their names.
To do so, you know, would be simply
to place them at the mercy of mud
singing by the gang of kickers and
litigation makers who are playing
