THIS Is \ GOOD THING.

One of the best steps that has ever
been taken by a public-spirited or
ganization for the upbuilding and de-
yelopment of Ely, was that action
bv the Ely Boosters club at their
regular meeting Monday night.
To supply to the outside, definite
and authoritative information con-
corning actual conditions in the local
labor market. and to seek to supply
the needs of the employers of labor,
is not single in its effects for good.
Neither the employer nor the laborer
is benefited alone. Both are given
benefits that cannot be measured by
the dollar mark And Ely is benefit
ed in double ratio, gaining prosperity
from the men employed at good
wages and from the output eff the
mines and the income of the mine
owners.
Such a bureau as this, with such a
strong and reliable committee as has
been named will be a power for good
in the advertising of this district in
a thoroughly truthful and unbiased
manner in other parts of the country.
Such committee as this, backed by
such an organization as the new club,
will do much to counterfeit and null
lily the impression that is given of
the camp by the publication without
warrant of articles which intimate
that a general shutdown is immi-
nent, that miners are being laid off
right and left, and that the country
is going to the dogs generally.
Such statements do much to hurt
the camp in the minds of prospective
residents or investors. The new COM
mittee on publicity will naturally
send none but accurate reports of
conditions, and wiz thus create the
right impression in the minds of
those who have not been here and
who therefore cannot fully compre-
bend the permanency and prosperity
of the district.

REN AISSANCE OF PIOCHE.

Phoebe is going to have a railroad
day on November Il. The track is
laid to within three miles of the
town, and if there is no delay in get
ting the expected rails the road will
be in town next week, and ballasted
and ready for business before the
month is gone. How long Phoebe has
waited for that road When the
Utah Southern got as far as Milford
the Phoebe people were confident that
little later it would reach them.
When the Eureka and Palisade road
was completed to Eureka, Phoebe
people counted how quickly it could
be continued to Phoebe, skirting many
most valuable mining districts on the
way. Last year when the road from
Cobre reached Ely Phoebe people
pointed out that it would be almost
a level run to continue it to Phoebe
and that on the way it would pass
through or flank at least five dis
tricts that were filled with promise
But none of these dreams material
lied until the San Pedro determined
to make a connection between Phoebe
and the main line. And that road is
practically finished.

the most remarkable mining point.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

1t is sorry commentary on the
condition of the American merchant
marine that the United States gov
eminent, through it's navy depart
ment, has been forced to award to a
foreign merchant marine the con-
tracts for carrying the coal with
which the vessels of the navy will
be coaled, on a cruise that has just
been planned
The United States today is one of
the greatest, if not the greatest, fac
tor in the commercial dealings of the
entire world. The carrying trade,
however, has been neglected. A
greater number of foreign vessels
clear from American ports than there
are American vessels. A greater
number of foreign shipping lines,
both freight and passenger, load and
unload their vessels at American
ports than there are American YES
sells. Foreign crews man the greater
number of the comparatively few
American vessels that ply the seas.
Great Britain takes great credit,
and with reason, for her SUPREMACY
on the waters. Germany's shipping
is rapidly increasing. Japan, the
pygmy among nations, the latest
voice in the International chorus, is
making rapid strides in the matter of
building up her merchant marine.
Why is the United States falling to
the rear? Why is not the merchant
marine developing in proportion to
the foreign trade.
The improvement in and the en-
largement of the merchant marine
will add to the prestige of the coun-
try, and the American flag will touch
at every port in the world, gaining
added respect from foreigners, and
even greater love and devotion from
Americans.

Setting the Bride mt Ease.

A couple recently married had just
entered the train that was to bear
them to the mountains on their
honeymoon, when they became aware
of the close scrutiny of them by a
female passenger, who had evidently
spotted bride and groom. The
young wife, on opening her handbag,
let fall some rice on the floor, and
the woman smiled. The other pas
sengers regarded the couple with in
terest. Seeing that the bride was
every moment becoming more flushed
and uncomfortable by reason of their
scrutiny, the woman in the goodness
of her heart, leaned across the car
riage.
Never mind, my dear!" she said.

next week I'll be in the same fix my

Renters and HOme-Owners.

The last census shows that of our
sixteen and half million families,
more than half were renters, and that
only four and a half million own
homes free from mortgages. Judg-
ing the future by the unbroken rec
ord of the past the next census will
show that of ten families seven of
those will be renters and only one
family in five or six own it's abode
outright. The old homestead is a
rapidly passing phenomenon. It's
passing is profoundly significant 1t
is another and big instance of the
decay of human institution; what
compensating good will come in its
place we can not see. But be sure
that the good will come.-Our Coun-
