LOOKING FORWARD.

Men of Ely, read carefully the in
terviews printed in today's White
Pine News. They are given by men
VINO have supplied either money or
brains for the making of the Ely of
today and the Ely of tomorrow.
The mines they have developed,
the railroad they have built and the
great 5melters they are building are
the crowd. Their work-it is a pal
pable fact-has filled Ely's horn of
plenty.
Concerning Greater Ely and the
harmony which should attend the up
building of the city of the future Mr.
Eccles said:
Il hope to see the old and the
new towns grow together and be so
closely cemented that there will be
but one Ely, and that all interests
will take broad and liberal view
of the operations of the new CON-
panies and that all classes of peo-
pie will unite to give a long and hard
pull for Greater Ely.
And as to what the future will
bring, this is what w. b. Thompson,
a conservative, far seeing man, says:
Il predict that five years from now
the concentrators will handle 10000
tons of ore per day | look to see
Ely, Greater Ely, if you please, the
commercial and Industrial center of
Eastern Nevada, if not of The entire
state. l expect there will be 10000
people here by january, j 908. Three
years from now there will be $4,000
people living here and we viii have a
modern city There will be all the
conveniences of civilization and pro-
gress that can be found in any city
Of 81, 900 in the country"
A 10000 ton smelter alone would
support 80, 900 inhabitants; II 10000
ton smelter would require the activ-
ity of thousands of miners whose
earnings would also support thous-
lnds
Men OF Ely, look forward with
broad conception of what is before
'ou. Turn IL deaf ear to the mouth
! ngs of discord breeders. Reach out
trong, sure hands for the opportuni'
les that lie before every man tc
HON kindly providence has given
ense enough to succeed.

SILENT SUFFERING.

They are starving in Russia. But
we hear little Of all this suffering
The Russian peasant, used to the
grim privations OF that bleak land en-
durcs in silence the whip lash OF rate.
In China it Is different. There we
are told eannibalism is being prac-
tieed and parents are bartering their
children. These stories have filled
the world with horror.
Result: Food and money are pour
ing into China Little is being
thought of Russia.
1t is the portion Of the nobler man
to be forgotten IN suffering. To the
aoisy mendicant the world opens the
gate of benevolence. The proud man
ynaws his nails and staryes without
anyone knowing about 1t.
And i will be so to the end Of the
world: a full bellied beggar and a
hungry man.

There are some things worth the
thinking over in President Roose-
velt's Arbor day message to the school
children, which was received by wire
by the White Pine News last night.
The president says:
'Ar9or day is now observed il ev-
cry stare in our Union, mainly in the
schools. At various times you give
a day or part of day to special eX-
ercises and a part to actual tree
planting in recognition of the impor-
lance of trees to us as d nation and of
what they are in adornment, com
fort and useful products.
1T is well that you should cele-
brate your arbor day thoughtfully,
for within your lifetome the nation S
need of trees will become serious. We
of an older generation can get ;long
with what we have, though with a
growing hardship; but in your full
manhood and womanhood you will
want what nature once so bountifully
supplied and mans thoughtlessness
destroyed and there are those of you
who will reproach us for whac we
lave wasted.

WORLD WIDE PEACE.

The peace congress has ended its
deliberations and those who gathered
20 discuss universal harmony have
scattered.
What was said at the congress will
have a good effect in winning some
friends to the cause of peace, but now
after all has been said. an enduring
peace in warning world seems as
improbable as ever.
Nations have tried to become cosy
and chummy in scarS past, but after
a Filed of the Cloth OF Gold we us
ually have seen sword blades flashing
and heard war cries.
The Hague tribunal might do very
we'll for time but not forever.
And il Europe and America should
disarm, would Asia wag its tail
Perfect peace seems Impossible in
this turbulent world The law of ma
ture seems to preclude possibility
of peace. One animal preys upon an
other With the carnivorous ami
mails it is pursuit; with the herbif-
erous 1t is flight.
And of the carnivorous animals
man is the most merciless and de-
structive, wolf like, preying upon his
own as we'll as other species.
If all the world were made up of
veterans of the worlds struggles,
peace might be made possible. Men
who have fought the long fight may
say that peace We're better.
But the world is always young, al
ways learning anew the lessons of
life.
Gen. Sherman, at the close of Il sol
diers career said War is hell" But
go back to the time that he was a
West Point cadet, full of ambition,
stepping light, to the music of the
band. Did he then think that war
is hell?" Could any young soldier
be made to think chat?
And so it goes the old man coun-
sells moderation and peace. the young
man draws the sword.
Human nature makes universal
peace as improbable as socialism or
any other dream OF dreamers
The peace congress, however, ma
do much To defer wars.

church win have added reason for
pride in their church edifice when i'm
provements which are to be COM
meneed today are completed.
A contract for the charging of the
church has been let to w. +. Mey
ers The sacristy will be removed
from the place it now occupies and
the church will be enlarged by the re-
mova4 of the partition which divides
the church proper from the sacristy,
The altar will then be removed II
feet to the west, giving that much
more room for the congregation.
At the rear of the present building
reading room 30x50 feet will be
built, and the sacristy will open from
this reading room. The reading room
will open on Hayes street.
The front of the church will also
be greatly improved by the addition
of a magnificent stained glass triple
window. The window will be 10 feet
in height by s feet in width, and the
coloring will be rich and effective.
The designs are allegorical, such as
are used in all Catholic churches. The
windows are now being made in Salt
Lake and are almost ready for ship
ment.
In addition to the improvements to
the building cement walk is being
laid around the building and the
stone coping Of the wrought iron
fence surrounding the buildin4 - pe-
ing completed. All the work it is
planned, will be completed by June

ore bodies here that they could not
see u small plant for their handi ng.
They started 5000 ton unit. That

as the ores Of Ely can only be han

tions is the plant they are now build
