NEED SIDEWALKS
TO ELY DEPOT

An effort will he made at the next
meeting OF the Ely city council TO
have the Nevada Northern railway
trains run farther than the depot
into the town with their new subur-
ban service trains. At present no
such action is probable ON the part
of the railway company, as it has
been announced that trains will start
from the depot.
Another matter of somewhat SIM
liar nature will be brought up. that
of providing some temporary walks
or other method for allowing per-
sons coming from MeGill or those
wishing to visit the smelter site. a
chance to walk dryshod between
Garden and Aultman streets.
AT present this portion of the walk
between the station and the main
street of Ely is a perfect lob-lolly of
Shiny mud and none can cross II
without experiencing the unpleasant
sensation OF wet feet.
Mayor Clark was interviewed yes
terday by News representative on
the subject to see II something along
this line could not be done before
the first train is run tomorrow, but
he stated that he could do nothing
without consent of the council. II
Is possible that II the trains are not
run farther into Ely than the depot,
several wagon loads of cinders will
be procured and spread on the path
ways TO ensure dryness under foot.

OF LICENSES
is ENGAGING ATTENTION

One of the matters which will
doubtless be brought to the atten-
ton of the city council in the near
future Is that of license classifica-
tion. Al present the small merchants
of Ely are paying the same amount to
conduct their business as are mer-
chants who do many times the
amount OF trade.
Up to the present the same condi-
tion of affairs has heen evident in
county license paving. no segregation
having been made. Sheriff Davis is
now giving this matter his attention
and the licenses are being segregat-
ed as q consequence. the man doing
large business having TO pay a
larger license than the small bust
ness man.
One instance of the injustice of
the present condition is that man
conducting a small establishment.
like a street lunch stand, is forced to
pay the same amount for license that
restaurant proprietor has to pay.
while a person having two rooms for
rent ranks with a lodging house
keeper. and a small lodging house
ranks with a hotel
A plan has been suggested, and
when the matter is brought up will
probably be followed II is proposed
that each merchant shall render an
accurate statement of business done
at his establishment during a stated
period According to these state
ments. which may be verified by per-
sonal inspection of the books of the
concern by the license collector, the
licenses would be issued.
The plan is without doubt a good
one and will probably meet with ap-
proval of both the merchants and
city officials

C|ROUx ISSUE.
OF $|,5OO,OOO
IN BONDS
Propose Getting Of Water
For Mill and Making
Mine and Surface I'M
provements with Fund

The first news of authentic char
acter was received yesterday from
New York with reference to the
Giroux Consolidated. 1t confirmed
previous rumor that $1,000,0 600 in
bonds will be issued by the company,
the money to be applied TO develop
ment of the mine and putting of the
concentrator of the company in SER
vice
Joseph Giroux, according to the
telegram, retains his control of the
affairs of the corporation in spite of
efforts of STOCKHOLDERS to oust him.
This was expected locally, as he with
his brother holds so per cent of the
Giroux Consolidated stock and oust-
ing them from control was not be-
lieved possible.
With the S1,000,000 to be secured
by bond fiotation it is proposed to
add another unit to the mill of the
company, which will give them am
pie facilities for outputting large
amounts of concentrates. New board
ing house facilities, new Offices and
new buildings for above ground ac-
commodations are also proposed.
1t is further claimed that the town
site proposition of the company,
which has hitherto been held back on
account of lack OF sufficient funds to
carry it through TO successful con-
clusion, will be again placed on foot.
All these improvements will natur-
ally carry with them an increase of
force. The proposition therefore
sounds very good to local people.
A further plan which Is rumored
will be building of pipe line from
the Mungerson ranch. where the COM
pany owns valuable water right, to
the concentration to provide ample
supply of water for running the.
plant. A portion of the water used
will be, ii is known, supplied by the
Alpha, which is wet shaft Gen.
orally speaking, IL is not considered
probable that this will make suffi-
cient water to operate the mill, con-
clusion which the pipe line scheme
would indicate the company TO have

TerseIy of Rawhide
This Elyite Tells

The first letter received here which
told anything of the conditions at
Rawhide other than that il was a
camp of expectation was received
yesterday by NJ Herman of the Step
toe hotel barber shop from P j..
Kilcullen, who left here several
weeks ago.
Kilcullen is perhaps as enthusias-
tic in his writing as any of the men
who have previously written but his
letter tells more in detail of the act
ual condition of the camp than any
previous ones.
You had better come over and see
it for Yourself" he writes. Il never
saw anything like the free gold sur
face showing before in my life. nor
so many enthusiastic people. If it
goes as It now looks 1t is the greatest
in the world. and well worth the time
and money to come and see 1t.
Further kilcullen states that the
population Is now more than 5000
and is increasing from so to 100 per-
sons each day. Two miles of tents
and shack streets are already laid
out. There are SO saloons. 8 res
taurants and four newspapers now in
operation.
Prices are high, as is usual in gold
camps. especially new ones. Water
costs the consumer so barrel.
Wood sells for $50 a cord Coal
brings the dealer $50 a ton and peo-
pie are glad to get it at that. Lum-
ber for bnilding purposes brings high
prices from $50 to $l10 thousand

cots cost the lodger one dollar

prices averaging about the same as
in Ely.

SCHOOL YEAR.

Our schools will commence their school year
next week The Catholic schools in the diocese of
| Salt Lake well equipped as any in the state
to impart good sound education. There is no
reason why every Catholic child, in these parishes
which have Catholic schools, should not attend
those schools. There are many reasons why they
should. Catholic schools are provided for the ben
eft of Catholic parents to help them in imparting
a good religious training to their children a work
in which parents themselves seldom engage In
this age of materalism and unbelief what could be
more essential than to comply with the injunction
of St. Paul by being sufficiently instructed to ac-
count for the faith processes. But how ac-
count for it unless the child is daily instructed in
his faith
lrreligion leads to crime. In France, once so
Catholic, the prohibition of religious teaching in
the schools is producing crop of murderers The
following dispatch proves this:
Paris, Aug. 15.-In his speech in the chamber
in favor of the abolition of the death penalty NJ
Joseph Reinach frankly admitted the increase in
criminality in France, but attributed it to drink
The Gaulois answers his argument by pointing
out that in England. where there is more drunken
ness than in France, the number of assassins is
nevertheless fewer.
without doubt" adds the Gaulois, "we hold at
this moment the record of crime in Europe and
we have earned unenviable superiority since the
abolition of religious teaching in our schools"
Parents, when too late realize the evil effects of
their neglect in the proper training of their off
spring. The richest inheritance parent can leave
their children is the faith of their forefathers
without which it is impossible to please God When
that is lost endangered on the parents rests the
terrible responsibility No worldly honors or riches
can compensate for that loss "What doth it profit
a man to gain the whole world, if in the end he
lose his immortal SOUL
