DANCE IS NOW AN
ASSURED SUCCESS

The question today is not who
is going to the dance of the Steptoe
Valley Athletic association at Smelter
tonight" 1t is rather who is not
going." From every indication the
employees of the great Steptoe plants
will receive as much patronage as
they could hope for, II not as much
as they des,erve
The best event of the kind ever
taking place in this district Is what
they aim to give. From the prepara-
tfons made their success Is not to be
doubted for a moment.
All day yesterday a party Of the
decorating committee passed In gath
ering eyergreens for decorating the
big hall. while the scheme of decora-
ton will be stiil further carried out
in bunting. The illuminations are
destined to be a very pleasing sur
prise to the guests as they were
brought from Salt Lake at large ex-
pense. The music will be first class,
while with a smooth floor there will
be nothing left for the merrymakers
to desire.
T. J. Costello. crairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements. passed last
night in Ely pushing the sale of
tickets and meeting with great sue
cess.
When the special train leaves for
Smelter at $50 tonight there is no
reason to believe otherwise than that
a big crowd will go Smelterward to
add to the success of the first dance
of the athletic association.

is making a canvass among his
friends. He agrees personally
to put in the hands of the News
a check covering three months

a month. This amount he agrees I
to pay monthly for one year.
II many such public spirited I
men can be found the hospital I

periodicals and papers, lack of
which at present causes the I
sufferers confined there to pass I
many a weary hour. 1t is ex-

IS To BUY
Co. BONDS
FARSON, THE CHICAGO
BOND BUYER, WILL PAY
s72,500, CITIZENS WILL
SUBSCRIBE $4,000 TO
MAKE UP THE DEFICIT.

A telegram from Duke M.
Farson, Chicago bond buyer,
announcing his willingness to
take over the bonds of White
Pine county for the purpose of
erecting a county court house
and jail, was received last ev-
ening by ID. Binkhorst of the
Ely Trust Co. The amount of
the bonds to be sold is $4,000,
$4,000 worth having matured
since they became of issue last
fall. The deal will be formally
put through Thursday, May
%, in all probability.
The wording of the telegram
leaves no doubt as to attitude
taken by Mr.. Farson and his repre-
sentative, Mr.. Fudge, who visited
Ely last week and participated in
several meetings held at the Ely
Trust Office between the commits
sioners, citizens and himself, at
which terms were discussed. The
com mmissioners would not entertain
an idea of installment payments on
the bonds and Mr.. Fudge, being
asked his best cash price stated Ii
as 95 cents on the dollar. The citi-
zens present agreed that If no other
way could be found to put the matter
through they would put up the extra
$2,500 in order to see work com
menced at once.
In his telegram Mr.. Farson states
that he will take the bonds, paying
$72.500 cash for them. on June IS
Joseph E. Stevens. in whose hands
raising of the amount needed to
make up the total of par value among
the citizens of Ely was placed, stated
last evening that he would start to
work at once and that the money
would be. he had nor the slightest
doubt, forthcoming when the ad-
journed meeting of the commission
ers Is called to order
The county court house and Jail,
which will be built with the money
secured from the sale, was designed
by Chamberlin & Son The lowest
bid was submitted by Mr. Dodson,
being slightly more than $4,000.
Both buildings are badly needed
This is especially true of the Jail,
where prisoners have been so crowd
ed that the foulest of conditions, re-
gardless of the efforts of the sheriff
and his deputies to the contrary,
have existed.
The point which has held back the
sale of the issues for so long a time
was the wording of the clause provid-
ing for redemption which made it
possible for the county to take them
up ION or before" the date set forth
as legal. This would be a marked
advantage to the county but made
the instruments unattractive. No
one was found who cared to pay a
premium for thing which was liable
to be taken off his hands at any time
at par. Another drawback was the
fact that a premium or bonus was
expected by buyers with whom the
commissioners came in touch in the
form of commission. This commits
sion is being allowed Mr.. Farson,
the public spirited citizens who have
subscribed the $2.500
necessary to put the deal through,
paying him that amount,
as the bonds will he later redeemed
at par and will draw interest at the
rate of per cent per annum
