LITTLE COAL IN DISTRICT.
Shipments Expected at Early Date
Steptoe Valley Lumber & Coal
Alone Has Supply on Hand.

Although there is little coal in the
district now, shipments are expected
to arrive within the next few days
from the outside which will place the
section beyond want for at least a
short time, while reports of likeli-
hood of early settlement of the Wy
oming coal strike give hope of a re-
turn in October TO normal local con-
ditions.
At present the Steptoe Valley Lum-
Der & Coal Co. is the only concern
in the district with coal on hand
They have small supply from which
they are selling in limited amounts
to consumers. The Ely Lumber &
Coal expect a shipment of two cars
either today or on Saturday. At
present their bins are empty. In like
is the Ely Transfer 6 Coal
CO.. although Manager Vautrin ex-
poets shipments shortly.

STANDARD OIL LDORKING FOR
BRYAN, ROOJEDELT DECLARES
Trusts 4ilied to
Defeat Taft fit
Is Possible to Do

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Tresi-
dent Roosevelt has issued letter in
which he asserts that the disclosures
made in the Foraker-Standard Oil
correspondence, together with other
recent Developments, makes ii cer-
tain that Standard Oil funds are back
of the Bryan campaign, as well as
the funds of other large interests.
The president says in part:
.The publication of this corre-
spondence not merely iustifies, In
striking fashion, the action of the ad-
ministration, but also casts curious
sidelight on the attacks made upon
the administration both in the Dem
yer convention. which nominated Mr..
Bryan. and in the course of Mr..
Bryan's campaign.
There is but one way to preserve
and perpetuate the great reforms, the
great advance in Righteousness and
upright and fair dealing which have
marked the management of the af-
fairs of the national government dur
ing the last seven years, and that is
by eleeting Mr.. Taft.
ITO defeat him will bring lasting
satisfaction to one set of men, name
J.. to those men who, as shown in
re correspondence published by Mr..
Hearst were behind Mr.. Foraker,
the opponent of Mr.. Taft within his
own party, and who are now working
behind Governor Haskell and his
associates. the opponents of Mr.. Taft
in the opposite party. The great sin
lister moneyed interests, which have
shown such hostility to the admins
tration and now TO Mr.. Taft, have
been known to oppose the admins
tration on various matters not con-
neeted with those that mark the real
point of difference.

1000 tons. This will give the former
greater proportion of the Smelling
capacity and will buy additionahstock
in the Steptoe Company. so that in
the future there will not be an equal
ownership OF the Steptoe plant. Some
of the large minority stockholders
of both the Nevada Consolidated and
Cumberland Ely are not satisfied with
the present arrangements and will
favor consolidating the companies
upon some favorable basis. which will
effect many economies and work to
the general good of the Ely camp.

SUCCESSFUL
CONFERENCE
CITY COUNCIL MEETS WITH :. W.
ECCLES. REACHING TERMS FOR
A NEW FRANCHISE ORDINANCE
FOR RAILROAD.

Conference which will probably re-
suit in the passage of an ordinance by
the city council at its next meeting
for the Clark street line of the Nev-.
ada Northern Railway. was held yes
terday between Mayor F. NJ. Clark,
Councilmen Hall. Root and Hoffman
and President S. W Eccles of the rail-
road. Mr. Clark later expressed his
satisfaction and gave the following
statement:
I'VE adjusted satisfaetorially,
believe. the only point upon which
hitch occurred when the previous fran
chise was offered. This WAS the es-
tablishment of depot at any point
the railroad people might see fit to
put it. as their business demanded.
We conceded this point. and I think
that we will have the ordinance ready
to place before the council at its next
meeting
Mr.. Eccles in speaking of this
matter stated that he was ready and
willing TO give Ely every advantage
that he gave any other place and that
his road would do nothing to favor
any particular section of the district
He stated that he would give one
no more than another, and that all
would share alike. He refused to
consider two stops in Ely, saying that
only one stop would be made at any
town hereafter and that where ever
the depot is established there the
train will stop
In connection with the Ely station
he said that the road has no intention
of moving il at present. Things which
may arise in the way of movement of
population may require the road to
move the depot and this is the object
of the road in asking this provision
to be inserted in their franchise
| do not now see anything in the way
of granting the franchise. as every
thing that was mooted before has
been satisfactorily settled"
The Mine and Smelter service pro
missed by Mr.. Eccles for Ely in case
the franchise Is granted will be iden-
tical with that of every other portion
of the district, Mr. Clark said. The
only point on which local people may
kick will be that of two stops in Ely,
as many of the business men were
desirous of having the suburban train
stop at the Northern Hotel Corner.

probable that the tax rate will be

have opportunity to appear before the

engineers and 1t will not be at all
surprising If this conference were to
work the first steps towards con-
solidation of the companies.
Stockholders of the Nevada Con

been led to expect consolidation for
over two years. The propositions be-

head and as these companies have a
Joint ownership of the Smelter and
Mill as well as the Nevada Northern
Railroad. consolidation would obyiate
any possibility OF complication.
The joint ownership of the Rail
road and Smelter has already result
ed In more or less friction. While the
management of each company has
been looking out for the interests of
their company service. the Guggen-

control and management Of each
company.
In the case of the Nevada Con-

been aggressive while in the case of
the Cumberland Ely company the re-
verse has been the rule during the
past three or four months. The re-
ason for the lack of aggressiveness
in the case of the latter has not been
satisfactorially explained and more
or less friction has naturally develop
ed as a result.

WORK ON BROADWAY BRIDGE.
The New Bridge Will BE Completed
by Next Sunday.
(Anderson Mail, 21St.)

A force Of between 60 and rs men
is at work on the reconstruction of
the Broadway trestle on the Blue
Ridge road, half way between Ander-
son and Belton, and it is now said by
the officials of the company that
trains will be running over the new
trcstle on regular schedule by Sum
day. The force is in charge of G.. C.
Patterson and S. w. billiard, con-
struction foremen.
1t had been necessary to remove
much OF the structure left standing
after the freshet and reconstruct the
foundations so as to rebuild the
trestle as it should be, and this has
been responsible for cd part of
the seemingly long time taken up in
the work. Work now, however, is
going on well, and with the present
force, It should be completed within
the time prescribed by the officials.
All Of the other tracking of the
Blue Ridge is in good condition and
business is being handled with dis
patch. Baggage and express which
should go out over the Bolton line,
however, Is being routed by Seneca
owing to the work on the bridge.
Mail is being handled direct, and the
usual service in all directions has
about been restored.

ORPHANS WORK DAY.

The first Sunday in October and
the Saturday previous, by most
beautiful custom, have for several
years past been set apart in a num-
ber Of the Southern States as the
"Orphans' Work Day" the practice
being the setting aside of Saturdays
earnings for the help Of the orphans,
on Sunday turning the amounts over
20 the church Orphanage workers.
This is a strictly n-denomina-
Iional work, there being no call from
any Of the denominations. The days
earnings are set aside and contribut-
ed to the cause Of the orphanages. If
the contributions are given for the
benefit OF any particular Orphanage
and so designated, the funds will go
10 that particular institution, no mat
ter through what agency the dona-
ton is made. If given without des-
1gnating any orphanage it will be
divided among the various institu-
tions.
This custom has given the orp hans
great assistance in the past, and the
