GOOD ROADS BRING BUSINESS.

Ely is the natural gateway to the
smelters in Salt Lake and Ogden for
ores from the Hamilton and Eureka
districts. That the ores should be
transported by team from the mines
to Eureka. then to the narrow gauge
railroad. then again to a standard
gauge railroad for transmission to
the smelters is waste of energy
time and money.
Shippers declare that the haul to
Kimberly from the mines is about
the same distance as to Eureka. The
only drawback is the bad roads be-
tween the mines and Kimberly.
1t would seem that the board OF
county commissioners could do nc
greater service to the county, par
ticularly to this part of the county
which pays by far the greater por.
ton of the taxes, than to eXpend The
necessary time and labor on the roac
between Eureka and Kimberl &c
put it into condition for the hauling
of heavy ore loads. BY this means
the shippers would be given diree
road to the smelters; time and lnone.
would be saved, and a greater vol
ume of ore would be shipped.
1t is recognized all over the corr
try that good roads are the create
factors in the development of dis
trict or a community. There Is ap
parently no other single thing tina
would more greatly benefit the shi
pers of that district, than the con
struction of a first-class road.

WOULD MAKE NEVADA SEP
ARATE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE

One of the most important matters
before the twenty-third annual con-
vocation of the Episcopal church,
held in Petaluma, Cal, recently, was
move to ask the general convention
of the church, which meets next
month to create the state of Nevada
into separate diocese. At the pres
ent time the state of Nevada is in
charge of Bishop Moreland of Sacra-
mento and the bishop of the Salt
Lake diocese, each of whom has
charge of half of the state. Both
the Salt Lake and Sacramento dis
tricts are willing that the separate
diocese be established.
A strong plea was made for the
appointment of Rev. Samuel Uns-
worth of Reno, if Nevada man is to
be selected as the new bishop.

GOOD WORK.

The board of county commission
ers have a serious problem to face
now that they have learned that the
assessment rolls of the county Will
not cover the actual valuation of the
property in the county by more than
100000. II is fortunate indeed
that the commissioners discovered
the state of affairs in time to remedy
to a slight extent the flaw in the
system. BY acting promptly, the
commissioners have been able to
place s125,000 on the rolls which
otherwise would have been lost, and
ii is believed that an equal amount
NAV vet be added before the rolls
are closed according to law.
The members of the board are to
be congratulated upon the prompt
ness with which they grasped the
difficulty, and their Judgment in en-
ploying an experienced assessor to
complete the neglected work is most
commendable.
The work of D. W. Ellis, special
assessor, in placing so large an
amount on the rolls in SO short 6
line as he has been in the service
of the county commissioners, is also
worthy of strongest commentator

will pledge themselves to the truer life
AS Robert Louis Stevenson so beautifully
puts 1t in his gentle philosophy: ITO be
honest to be kind, to earn a little and spend
a little less; TO be a staunch unwavering
friend, and leave the world a little better
for having lived a while in it."
Happiness and contentmeht are condi-
tions of mind. They grow out of unselfiSh-

Sunday service, but twenty-four hours a

Easter service should be to us festival

1t is in one of these apartments that the
sultan H. now semi-seoluded passing the

other utilitarian depots q porcelain fac
tory, an arsenal and museum of arms, an
extensive library. an observatory, together
with spacious baths and stables containing
over 100 saddle and carriage horses, be-
sides fine menagerie of tanned and trained
animals.
Strangely enough the master of all this
has telephones and electric lights in his
apartments, but has never permitted their
popular use in Constantinople. This is said
20 be due TO his fear that conspiraciea
wound be greatly facilitated by the tele-
phone and that electricity might be made
a destructive agent In time OF dissension.
