nONORS IN SCHOOL

The roll of honor is comparatively
short this month on account OF irreg-
ularity in attendance. Some pupils
have missed so much that the teach
ers found it necessary to put them
back in some of their studies. This
Is embarrassing and discouraging on
the part of both teacher and pupil,
but it is the only thing that can be
done under such circumstances.
Arithmetic and all branches of math-
ematics are of such a nature that one
principle must be understood before
a-othei is taken up. The pupil who
attends irregularly is missing prlnci-
,ies which will be sure to make the
study difficult and discouraging. On
account of sickness, of course, IL Is

NOTES OF SPORTS

Formation of the four team league
In this section now seems a certainty
and from the standpoint of a. base
ball fan the season is one of great
promise. Ely City. Ely, Shelter
and Riepetown, the latter drawing
from Riepetown and Kimberly, have
already been formed. The battle
which will be had between Riepetown
and Ely tomorrow on the Ely City
grounds will without doubt bring out
good crowd.
The Riepetown aggregation Is COM
posed of the best players obtainable
in the section in which the little place
is located. The husky miners sent
down CHALLENGE during the fore
part of the week, at the same time
buying their supply of parapherna-
liza for the season. II was not sup
posed that Ely would be able to do
battle with them on account of the
inclement weather which has pre-
vailed for several days. but yesterday
being beautiful day and giving
promise of good weather for today
the challenge was accepted by tele-
phone.
The lineup of Ely is Luchesi, C;
johnson and Hulstrom. p, Daily,
1b: Storms and Millard, 2b; German.
IS: Dickinson. 3b; Spencer, II: Ac-
herman, Of; Nichols, RI. The lineup
of Riepetown is not known, but as
the members of the team have been
practicing hard during the week ac-
cording to report received. there can
be little doubt that a stiff contest
will be put up.
The Ely lineup. according to the
showing made against Ely City last
/ Sunday, is as good as can be obtain
ed Nearly every man who will ap-
pear on the field was given trial
and found to be good material. II is
expected that better showing Will
be had on every hand as the ragged
edges of playing visible in last Sun
days game will have been smoothed
over to some extent and errors Will
doubtless be held down.
The game will be called at 2
o'clock. Admission will be so cents.

THE BEST WAY ACROSS NEVADA

The automobiles in the world con-
test are all routing by way of Ely
The American car, leading the pro-
cession, passed through last week
Yesterday the Italian car came this
way and il is understood that all the
racers have fixed on the Ely-Gold-
field route through Nevada TO the
coast.
The fact is highly significant. 1t
means that after careful and extern
sive study those familiar with the
maps of the country, the shortest
routes, the easiest grades and the
best natural conditions in other re-
spects, picked out with remarkable
unanimity route through this state
which Is NOT ye> traversed but part
of the way by railroad, and on whics.
Ely is practically the central point.
1t means that this way across the
state and to either the north or the
south of California and to the ports
of the coast is considered the hest
for the automobile. What is best for
the automobile, this trip around the
world is going to demonstrate is
best for the railroad locomotive and
following close on the heels of the
close of this auto contest it is to be
expected that the engineers who will
route the around the world railroad,
crossing the Behring straits with as
much apparent ease ten or fifteen
years from now as the Southern Pa
cific at the present time crosses Salt
Lake, will be following the trail of
the machines with grade stakes for
the worlds greatest railroad system.
That system will cross Nevada by
way of Ely and at Ely City it will
have division shops and division ter
minal facilities. Put a marker on
that.

The presidential problem has taken
somewhat of different turn on ac-
count of the intimation through what
is believed to be a reliable channel
that Bryan believes in the propriety
of defering action as to the candidate
for the second place until the first
is disposed of. This has led to falling
off in the gossip and the whole matter
has been side-tracked.
