GETTING READY
FOR The SHOW

Interest in the Elks' big show,
which comes off Friday, the twenty
second, at the Pavilion theater, is
growing as the days go by. A good
ly sale of tickets has already been
had and those intending to take in
the performance should not neglect
getting their tickets and reserving
seats at the Union drug store, as all
indications are for packed house.
Al G. Flournoy is spending consider
able time with the aspiring amateurs
who are to take part, and by the
time set will certainly have a credit
able show, as every number is full
OF life and action, and the variety in
program will furnish interest for all.
One of the most effective numbers
will be the sextet, composed of Mes
danes Keller, Grimes and Flournoy
and Messrs. Flournoy, Dennis and
McCrimmin. To the music, which is
sung in professional style, will be
added considerable action, and the
whole will be most effective feature
of show without a poor act

ELKS entertain
FAIR FRIENDS

Last evening was ladies' night at
the Elks' club and the fair sex were
entertained by the members of that
order. A large number of the ladies
visited the club rooms where they
were royalty entertained and shown
how the lodge members behave them
selves when visiting the lodge-may-
be. The Elks' minstrels also held a
partial rehearsal during the evening
and from the reports everything is
rapidly getting into shape for the big
night when they show Tonopah that
they have talent. New stunts are be-
Ing added to the program daily and
it seems that each new one excells
the one before it. The program is
kept secret and will not be made pub
lie until the eventful night arrives.
The committee which has the affair
in charge state that the Tonopah
Ministries will far eclipse the per-
Torrance OF the Goldfield minstrels,
and that Is going some.

TALKS ABOUT
SPEAKERSHIP
POSSIBILITIES

Hon. j. B. Giffen, assembfyman-
elect from Nye county, passed
through Tonopah this morning on
his way to Carson City, to be pres
emit at the opening of the assembly
next Monday, January IS. Mr.. Giffen
is the leading candidate for the
speakership and has the solid back
ing of the delegates from the south
ern portion of the state as well as
many from the northern and eastern
sections.
In reply to a question regarding
an interview with Hon. Robert L.
Douglass, senator from Churchill
county, which appeared in the
Churchill Standard, to the effect that
at the forthcoming conference
scheduled to take place at Reno,
January 16, he (Douglass) expected
both Giffen of Nye and Folsom of
Washoe to withdraw from the
speakership contest in favor of Hon.
Lemuel Allen, Mr.. Giffen said:
There is no foundation in fact for
any such statement, at least so far
as am concerned. / am in this race
to stay and will fight it to a finish.
My friends are loyal and l have as
surances from the members elect
from the several counties in the
state, that justify me in stating that
will be elected on the first ballot.
THE forthcoming session will be
notable one because of the fact that
many measures of vital Importance
to the mining and commercial inter-
ests of the state will be brought up
for consideration and must be dis
posed of. The platform of the Dem
ocratic convention, on which good
working majority was elected, made
promises of Importance and it is the
duty of the members to see that they
are placed upon our statute books.
Any failure to make good these
pledges will be properly chargeable
to the majority and we will have to
stand on our record and not on prom
ises.'

Unusually satisfac tory conditions ex-

the entire country the present time.
II is being felt with gratifying force
by all dealers, both wholesale and re-
tail, and they predict that the coming
year. from all prospects, will be a
bigger and better one than 1907, which
set marx at the time as one of the
best business years in the history OF
the country.
Prices. which underwent a terrific
slump in 1908. are already climbing
steadily upward. This Is particularly
noticeable in pine. Yellow pine deal
ers OF the south who were the first TO
slash prices when the cut came. have
taken the initiative in boosting. and
their example has been followed by
northern dealers The Increase has
been less than 90 per cent of the de-
crease, however and IL is stated that
IL will be long time before the nigh

with the volume OF business so great
and the prospects for its continuance
so satisfactory, there is no lumber
dealer who is not tickled at the out
LOOK.
The settlement Of the tariff question
had an excellent effect on the lumber
business. The American men who op.
crate mills in Canada are now enabled
TO bring over their timber at less
cost than heretofore and in that way
have greatly benefited. The greatest
demand for lumber manufactures and

The city officials have decided 10
build two-thirds OF walk about the
city hall In other words. they will
build q cement walk two squares wide
and ill in the third square with plsnks
This cement walk Is to connect with
the walk which J. II. Parks has con
structed in front OF his place.
How will 1t look. do you askf Like
Cap. .Trevarthan's ''bloody lion." you,
only the lion part will be applied to
those who conceived the idea instead
OF the sidewalk
The reason for this innovation : is
that sometime in the far distant future
this city may build city hall and II
so the excavation may spoil the inside
row Of blocks. Inside OF the sidewalk
line there are two feet leaving plenty
OF space for excavating without touch
ing the walk. Again, suppose tnat the
inside row Of blocks were injured, their
replacement wouldn't cost very much
more than the planks that will be put
In and certainly discarded. Perhaps
S25 would be the total lose. allowing
that the inside blocks will be injured,
and figuring the difference between
the cost OF injured cement and injured
planks. Can the city council Afford TO
make the city a laughing stock for
avarvona who vfaita tina nlace m save
$50
Don't do IL. gentlemen. Let the old
plank walk remain there If you don
want to take chances Of the loss The
walk is fully in keeping with the
building. In fact cement walk in
front Of that building would.look.some-
thing like a carved oak door on the
front Of pig pen.
