Checks to Amount Of SIS
Per Week Will be
HOnOred on Accounts.
FREIGHT BILL RULING
Made Yesterday Provides for Ac-
ceptance Of Checks...WlII Afford
Help TO Business Interests.

Relief for business men of the city
of quite as much importance as that
which will be afforded by the open
ing of the banks this morning, which
will occur at the usual hour as an
nounced in The News on Sunday, will
be afforded by decision of the man
agement of the Nevada Northern
railroad to accept checks drawn on
bank accounts in payment of freight
bills, a custom not heretofore fol-
lowed.
Announcement that this rule would
become effective today and continue
in force until the present situation
as affecting banking institutions and
their depositors throughout the coun-
try is terminated, was made yester-
day from the Office of General Man
ager Cannon of the railroad. 1t was
received among the business houses
with expressions of relief and praise.
AS one prominent merchant put it.
the action VII, in connection with
reopening of the banks, set things in
good order, enabling the getting out
of freights from a. parts of the coun-
try and the conduct of business unin-
terruptedly under as good as normal
conditions.
Conference, which it was announc-
ed in the News Sunday morning
would be held on that day between
officials of the Bank of Ely and the
First National bank for the purpose
of determining the manner of rules
under which the banks should open
this morning, resulted in decision to
follow clearing house rules as OPP
Grated by the correspondents of these
banks. In consequence all deposi-
tors in the banks of the city will be
able to check against their accounts
to the extent of $25 per week until
such time as the clearing house rules
are superseded by the regular bank
ing rules When this will be is de-
pendent on the time of loosening up
in New York, Chicago. Denver and
other large money centers from
which the smaller centers must get
their funds in cash for distribution
in turn to their depositors, individ-
uals and corresponding corporations.
The decision reached by the bank
ing houses here has met with gen
eral approval on the streets and
among business places. 1t is con-
sidered that the allowance on de-
posits will be all sufficient to meet
current needs and that the curtail-
ment which may result in the expen-
ditures of some will work benefit
that will later be felt to advantage OF
extent that will Offset any temporary
decrease in trade. The week which
was passed through without cash
coming out of the banks was attend
ed by practically no hardship, due in
large part, of course, to the very lib
eral and praiseworthy stand taken by
the merchants in the acceptance OF
checks, and with even limited cash
now available the situation is nat
urally better. The present business
week opened yesterday with very fail
trade and no apparent diminishment
of activity On the other hand, there
was improvement in the general tone
of things as compared with last
week, which was very far from dull

shorten the distance to Ely to thirty
seven miles and will make the city

try which has heretofore been obliged

SHERIFF BURDENED WITH COIN
Is Not the Kind, However, That
Treasurer Can Accept, at Least
Not Until He Gets an Opinion.

Sheriff A. C. House has 3.400 of
county license money that he don't
know what to do with. About 800
of the collection is in checks and
nothing but the real coin will be
accepted by County Treasurer Miles.
The sheriff says the checks are all
good and he wants to get rid of them.
Treasurer Miles does not feel like
accepting anything but coin of the
realm, this because of the fact that
the statutes governing conduct of his
office so stipulate in most instances
with reference to payments. How
ever, these statutes were not drawn
with thought in mind of money tie
ups such as now prevail throughout
the country and which have put it
practically on a check basis for the
time being Opinion of the attorney
general as to procedure he shall take
will probably be sought by the treas
urer.

EPIDEMIC MAY BE NIPPED.
Physicians Incline to Belief That Ely
will Escape-.tvoid Well Water.

There has been no change in the
diphtheria situation in Ely. No new
cases have been reported. Those
who are suffering with the trouble
are doing nicely and it is now the
hope of physicians that the trouble
has been nipped in the bud and that
an epidemic will be averted.
In preventing an epidemic here
residents can be of great aid to the
physicians. through exercise of care
as to drinking water, keeping their
premises clean and in avoiding ex-
posure of themselves where diph-
iberia cases are known to exist. In
no avoidable circumstances should
water be used from the wells in old
Ely. Should there be necessity for
householders to use well water, how
ever, they should boil 1t thoroughly,
thereby removing impurities.

BIG THING
FOR CAMP
SteptOe Hotel Fills Need Of Home
People and Popularity
Of House Is Growing Rapidly.

That people of the district appre-
ciate first class hotel, with cafe SER
vice in connection which stands just
as high in point of excellence as does
the hotel proper, was well demon
strated Sunday evening, when the
cafe of the Steptoe hotel was crowded
with diners from all over the camp.
Not only was the cafe of the hotel
filled with people during the dinner
hours but the lobby as we'll making
for scenes of much animation in the
splendid Ely City house.
The Steptoe and it's cafe afford the
public the best accommodation to he
had in Nevada. No other hotel in
operation in the state has as excel
lent equipment, while the manage
ment belongs in the highest class and
makes available to guests every con
venience and courtesy that might be
obtained in the leading hotels of the
largest cities of the country. The
development of the district tOa great

time brings in notable parties of sci

representatives of business concerns

might lack in no respect things which
enable it to benefit in the largest
possible degree from the coming of
visitors who might advance its in

they might secure all for bodily com.

this line Manager Kline said yester-
day:
THE business we are gaining and
the satisfaction those who patrorize
our cafe express, determines in my
mind that before long we will have
Semblages here. particularly or
Sunday evenings, that will represent
gatherings of people from all the dis

our prices are reasonable in the ex'
