tered In Winning Campaign.

Certificates of nomination of the

nothing for the candidates to do but

as could have been put up and the
feeling is steadily growing that the

COAL MINERS
RETURNING
BETWEEN 500 AND 600 MINERS
RETURN TO PROPERTIES AT
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
TERMS HELD IN ABEYANCE.

SALT LAKE, Sept. 22.-Three of
the four mines of the Diamondville
Coal and Coke Co. at Diamondville
and Glencoe. Wyo.. resumed opera
tions Monday morning. between 500
and 600 men who have been out on
strike for over three weeks return
ing to work The mines which re-
sumed are Nos. | 2 and A. Most of
the coal produced by these properties
goes to Butte and Anaconda for the
use of the Amalgamated Copper Co,
which owns the mines.
No settlement has been made with
the men who resumed work Monday
morning. The understanding under
which they went to work was that
whatever terms were arranged with
the balance of the men would gov
ern those who resumed their labors.
In other words, If the men get an in
crease of a decrease, they will accept
the same scale that the mine owners
and mine operators settle upon for
the mines at the other coal fields in
Wyoming.
A meeting of the mine owners and
operators will be held in Chicago.
This will be most important gath
ering, for at 1t the wage scale will
be gone over In detail. and it Is
hoped that an amicable and satisfac-
tory arrangement will be arrived at.
The conference will last for two or
three days, but something should be
known by Thursday.
In the event of the scale being sat
isfactorily adjusted so that it will
be accepted by the men and not re-
pudiated by them. as was the former
agreement. all the miners will return
to work by the first of next week, and
| full operations will then be resumed
and a somewhat difficult and preca-
rious situation relieved.

ACTION OF COMMISSIONERS
RAISES MUCH PROTEST-HOP-
ED THAT AT MEETING TODAY
PETITIONS BE RECONSIDERED.

At the meeting of the county board
of commissioners yesterday morning,
application for voting precincts nj
Copper Flat and Kimberly, for the
convenience of the miners of this dis
trict. was turned down. George l..
Parker. of Cherry Creek, asserted,
when the matter came up, that he
was not acquainted with conditions
at the mines and would leave the
matter TO his associates. These, A.
l.. Parker and Ira }. Mcknight, voted
the applications down, Mcknight TAX
ing positive stand against the new
precincts and Parker following his
lead without question.
When the action of the board be-
came konwn among Republicans
about the city protests went up from
all quarters. Later in the day the
criticism became pretty general, the
belief being freely expressed that the
commissioners in refusing 70 make
the precincts at the mines had CONF
mitted an error. There was added
expression last night o hope that
they would see the matter in diff
ferent light this morning and recon
slider their action.
The location of Copper Flat is such
that it would work hardship upon
voters TO go from there to Riepetown
and cast their votes. The distance is
about two miles, walk that, after
hard days work, or before, is not
to be lightly considered, particularly
when granting of voting precinct
would make 1t unnecessary. This pre-
cinct. with voting place at either
Copper Flat or Ruth. where prac-
tically all the men employed at the
Flat reside. would serve in the
neighborhood of 100 voters.

ties are central TO the voting place
at Kimberly asked for from the COM
missioners yesterday As with the
men employed at Copper Flat, IL
would work a hardship on these
voters to tramp a couple of miles to
Riepetown to cast their ballots. They
are probably 150. possibly 200 in
number. and unless given a voting
precinct at Kimberly. or at Veteran
the most of them will not be able to
vote. This being the situation, the

Mr.. Coleman. when the bond matter
was reached, asked permission to pre-
sent a proposition from Mr.. Blink
horst together with draft for $2,-
900 to show good faith. The propo-
sition when read developed that Mr..
Binkhorst for the firm of John La
vine & Co. offered 95 cents on the
dollar with accrued interest from Au-
gust Is, the bonds to be drawn ae-
cording to the desire of the COM
pany and their attorneys and Blink
horst's commission to be 81 500. Mr..
Coleman produced telegram from
Mr.. Binkhorst which said: Must
have commission or wind up in the
poorhouse. Tell council to close deal
or lose sale ID. Binkhorst."
The attorney made lengthy
speech in which he dwelt upon the
fact that Mr.. Walker might not be
able to close up a deal and called at
tention to the fact that the $4,000
check bound the deal so far as the
company was concerned, should the
city care to take ii up. He then
asked the council to consider the mat.

that the proposition was one which

EY WAIT ON WALKER REPORT
WATER co. GIVEN PERMISSION
TO DO EXTENSIVE WORK.

The regular weekly meeting of the
city council was had last evening at
the court house. Among the most in
teresting actions of the body was
granting of permission to the Ely
Water Co to excavate approximately
$500 feet in the streets of Ely for
the purpose of taking up the water
pipes OF the old water company,
which are not being used. and turn
ing down of a proposition from Mr..
Binkhorst for the new $40, 600 bond
issue.

clerk, read the minutes of the last
meeting which were approved. A
letter from the Ely Water Co. to the
city relative to other than the city
sprinkling wagon securing water
from the stand pipes on the streets
was read and tabled.
Attorney S. W. Belford asked If
the city would give permission to the
water company to take up the old
pipes on Murry and Aultman streets.
This will involve practically $500
feet of exeavating. The permission
was granted with the proviso that
the bitches are to be kept open in not
more than one block at time.
The attention of the council was
called to the fact that Contractor
Harwood, who was given the contract
for grading the road between Ely and
East Ely, has returned to the dis
trict. being at Smelter. He has
given the contract no attention. how
ever. and has never answered letters
written him on the subject. After
discussion 1t was decided to award
/ the contract to W. l.. Nelson at his
original bid of $3.50. which was
done. Nelson will sign the contract
/ today and Immediately conclude the
work.

get about S36, 900 out of the $4,000

No ELKS LODGE.
Until City Attains Population oi
5,0O0-Such Word Comes I'm
Response to Application.

No Elks lodge can be formed in
Ely until it has reached the least
population limit set by the supreme
lodge of the order. which is 5000 in
habitants within the incorporated
limits of the city. Such word was re-
ceived last evening by J. V. Murphy,
who has been moving along lines
preparatory to the organization of a
local lodge.
The district stands in rather an
unique position. having the nucleus
of a very strong lodge with probably
rs members of outside lodges Of Elk
dom in its borders. Unless special
dispensation should be applied for,
and this is, hardly likely, there will
be no chance for organization of a
local lodge for some time to come.

to go upon the retired list of the

The Ten Best Poems.

What is your idea of the 10 best
poems in English literature? 1t is an
interesting variation from the more
common intellectual pastime OF max
ing out list of the WORLDS best
books. An Osceola, Missouri editor
submitted a list to his readers recent
~ and from the lists sent in by sew
eral hundred of them he made up the
following list of those having the most
votes.
l. "Ode on the limitations of I'm
mortality" by Wordsworth.
2. "Chambered Nautilus" by
Holmes.
3, I'm Memoriam," by Tenryson.
4. Sonnet: The World Is Too Much
With Us" by Wordsworth.
). "Snow Bound" by Whittier.
6. Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" by
Shelley.
:. THE Eternal Goodness" by
Whittier.
9. "ComuS, Dy MlltoIl.
Q. "Brahma," by Emerson.
10. 'My Mind to Me Kingdom is"
by Dyer.
Certainly It is to be said in all seri-
BUSINESS that the list is ore which
does credit to the hearts and heads of
Missouri people and indicates a state
of culture which is not commonly as
cribed to the rural sections of that
great state. In the comments which
went along with the publication of the
winning list some interesting light was
thrown upon the selections made by
some of those who sent in lists. One
list, for instance, contained John j.
Ingalls, opportunity" I'm the Good
Old Summer Time" and the familiar
verses written by Pension Commits
sioner Ware upon the washerwoman
and her work. Plainly the one who
made up this list did not want to con-
cede too much literary glory to Europe
