lor company is also a corporation or

to those of the corporation, as they
are for actual services performed.

Il. l.. Robertson, through his at

to quiet title to the Willy Boy min

spring situated on #. The property
is well known to local people on ac-
count of the spring.
In his complaint Robertson alleges
that he first discovered and located
the property in 1895 and has since
done nothing TO void his title to IL.
Several months since Mr.. Fesler made
application to the state engineer to
acquire title TO the spring and later
having secured it. gave option on il
to Tex Rickard and associates who
will exploit its waters. Plaintiff al

Vital Statistics
To Be Kept
Hereafter

Who has died in Ely and how many
children have been born in stated
period are two questions which can
not bc settled by official records The
death lists may be secured from local
undertakers but none of the vital sta
tistics of death and birth are treated
officially. This will probably be rem
edied within short time, as il is
proposed to shortly inaugurate a rec
ord book for these statistics.
For some time Dir. Adams, the city
physician, has been planning to have
passed by the city council an ordi-
nance recognizing the Importance of
records of this character, and it is
probable thai within a short time an
ordinance embodying this and other
measures of like character will he
offered.
Another matter which will be treat
&c will be the quarantine of diseases
OF various character. Heretofore
diseases which need not be strictly
segregated because not strictly dam
Gcrous have been kept apart, quar-
antine signs being placed on houses.
The new ordinance will recommend
that these restrictions be removed
aud quarantine confined to special
diseases which are dangerous to both
tie life of the sufferer and by rea-
son of contagious character, to the
general public.
There is little need of keeping
quarantine over houses where there
are diseases of insignificant eharac-
ter. such as chicken pox, mumps.

Is unnecessary and beside little at
