TOOK A SHOT AT NORFOLK
City Clerk Spreads Report That Nor.
folk Has Not Near 5000 People.

Through the agency of Norfolk's
city clerk, julius Huff, Norfolk was
yesterday given through the columns
of the Omaha World-Herald a black
eye that will stay with the town for
some time to come. The city clerk,
who Is local correspondent for the
World-Herald, sent to that newspaper
a dispatch declaring that although Nor
folk thought 1t was city of 5000 pop
ulation, it was in truth only village
of 1000. Added to this bad advertis-
ing for Norfolk was a boast from the
city clerk that Norfolk would be pre-
vented from paving Main street this
year.
City Clerk Huff, in his ambition to
make space" even though it meant
a knock for Norfolk sent out the in
formation that Norfolk had just had
census taken to see If it could be in
cludCd in the cities of 5000, and that
the number had fallen short about
I 900. Mayor Durland and other city
officials say that they have heard of
no census officially authorized by
NOIlOlk, IL is True llluI Il SCIOOl cell
sus has been taken. but no official
census of the city has been heard Of.
The Commercial club of Norfolk
has been trying to advertise the city
by giving it desirable publicity. The
Commercial club advertises the fact
that Norfolk is a city of 5000 people
and live one, too. But the CONNER
cial club is all wrong. Norfolk is mis-
taken about itself. The city clerk
says the town is going backward and
backward it will go, at least in the
minds of those who read only the
knocks on Norfolk sent broadcast by
the city clerk. Following is the para.
graph that will do it's best to tear down
some of the reputation that Norfolk
has been making for these many
years:
Norfolk has just had a census TAX
en- in order to ascertain If it could
not be placed in the 5000 class. The
count shows the city is still lacking
about 1000 to bring up the number tt
5000. Norfolk, therefore, must give
up all hope for the present towards
paving Main street, as the money fol
the paving of the intersections canno
be voted for at this time"

FROM ELY TO GOLDFIELD.
Tex Rickard Said to Have Interested
Eastern Capital in New Project.

SALT LAKE, Oct. l2.--Tex Rickard
has recently been in New York, where
he consulted with number OF fnancicrs
and railroad magnates with view to
interesting them in building new road
between Ely ana Goldfeld. 1t is said he
met with such success that representa-
tiyes of the railroad and OF the Guggen-
helm interests will go to Ely to con-
slider the proposition thoroughly. 1t is
said, moreover, that the financing OF the
project is already well under way. The
new railroad will put Ely in direct touch
with Goldfeld and will be lS0 miles
long. It is estimated that the road can
be built at cost Of $l,S00,00O, or about
$4,000 mile. 1t is understood that the
line will run almost parallel to the sur
rvey for the proposed Nevada & Utah.
The grade along this survey is light and
but one range of mountains is encoun-
tered. This is the Hot Creek range and
since it is cut by numerous passes, it
will nterpose no serious obstacles.
If complete, the road would play an
important part in the development Of
the Goldfeld and Ely and tributary
mining districts. IT would make market
able some Of the low grade ores that are
not now being worked and would give
employment to thousands of miners and
workmen of all classes. Traffic arrange
ments might be made with the Moffat
road the Western Pacific and the Ne
yada Northern, which would give a direct
line from Denver to Goldfeld.

cording to the proprietor who effected
the arrangement. Mr.. Morgan is not do.
ing this because he wants to, but be-
casue for once in a way he can't help
himself, disagreeable as he finds the situ-
alton. 1t should be understood, however,
that it is the great fnancier's portrait,
painted by famous Swedish artist, and
not MIR. Morgan in his physical reality
that is to appear behind the bar. But
the father of the steel trust doesn't find
any relief in that for to be hung in
effigy in saloon doesn't appeal to his
artistic taste. 1t is this well known love
for art that brought about the trouble,
for when the portrait for which he has
given the commission in Sweden arrived
in New York, Mr.. Morgan refused to ac-
cept it because he said it did not look
like him. In consequence it was placed
with lot of other goods on which the
duty had not been paid, to be sold at
auction. At the sale it was knocked
down to saloonkeeper for $35 just a
moment before representative of Mr..
Morgan arrived to rescue it. TO all Of
fers of this representtive the purchaser
remained deaf, persisting that he was
1going to have Mr.. Morgan behind the
bar to tone up the place" Consequently
his customers can meet the fnancier
face to face in future as they absorb
their liquid nourishment
