And allure us to be guile;

And so lightly touch the hand
With their dainty finger tips;
But it never warns the heart
Like a good old fashioned shake,
With the hands 80 tightly ciasped
That the prisoned fingers ache.
So well give hearty grasp,
When we go and when we stay,
And in silence press the hand,
As our loved ones pass aw y,
With the sure and steadfast hope,
When the Master bids us come,
With the shaking Of the hand
They will shout US "welcome home. !"

The United EtaiesSupreme Court de-
cides that the commodities cIause''Iof
the Hepburn act il constitutional, but
that it only prohibits railway comps-
MES from transporting commodities
owned by them at the time or in which
they have direct interest, or which
they have produced and have not in
good faith parted from. 1t 10 further
b ED that the law does not apply to
the transportation of goods produced
by corporation in which the railroad
company is stakeholder, regardless
Of the amount Of stock owned. From
this latter part of the decision, Justice
Harlan dissents. The lease was car
ried TO the Supreme Csurt.on appeal
from kdecisien Of Judge Gray that
the clause was confiscatory and there
fore unconstitutional. The Attorney
General of the United States infers
that Congress has the power to extend
the legislation to prevent evasion Of
the act. One Of the attorneys repre-
senting the railway companies says
that enlyttwo of the anthracite-carry-
ing roadsihave any directllega owner

these is accustomed to sell its coal at
the mines-leaving only,the Delaware

that under the decision Of the Court,

pretty nearly Ineffective.

MORE WYOMING OIL WELLS.
Consolidated Company
Adds 1OO-Barrel Producer.

The oil fields of Uinta county,
Wyo., are giving promise of a bright
future, and the advent of the new re-
fnery at Salt Lake City gives i'm
petus to the movement for the de-
velopment of the fields. The Utah
Oil Refinery Co., under which name
the new refinery is being operated, is
contracting to pay 5000 per barrel
f O b Altamont for all oil down to
40 degrees gravity. The refinery,
which is now in operation, has up
to-date equipment for the handling
of petroleum and its by-products. The
company has it's own line of tank
cars for the transportation of the
crude product from the fields near
Evanston, and with the adequate
backing and good management that
it has there is nc doubt of success.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Oil
Co. has recently completed another
well at SIS feet, in depth, which is
said to be making 100 barrels per
day of A degree gravity oil. This
is the fifth producer brought in by
the company, and three more der
ricks are going up with the excpecta-
ton that this number of additional
wells will be completed before the
end of the year. :.

AFTER OIL IN MOAPA VALLEY,

According to advices from Las
Vegas, the oil drilling rig that was
taken into the Moapa valley two
years ago is now being erected and
drilling operation will commence by
the first of the year.
The location of the supposed oil
field is about five miles below Moapa
station, or about half way between
Moapa and Logan. No n seems to
be sure who is behind the enter
prise, but indications point to one, of
the large oil manufacturing con
Germs of the country. The drilling
outfit is a big one and the assess
ment work ON the claims has been
kept up for two years, without pub
licity, and without the actual own
ers becoming known.
At places on these claims oil oozes
forth to the surface of the ground,
but it has been claimed by many that

IMPORTANT NEW
FIRM COMING IN

What Walter H. Whitmore, head
of the w. H. Whitmore company,
one of the Oldest and largest broker
age houses of Goldfield, thinks of
the future of this district is clearly
evidenced by an announcement he
made last night that his company
will move its entire business to Ely
in the near future.
Mr.. Whitmore, who has been
spending several days in the dis
trict and who leaves this morning
for Goldield, is no stranger in Ely.
He is already heavily interested here,
being an important factor in the Ely
Verdi Copper company. Associated
with Mr.. Whitmore in the Ely Verdi
is George Wingfield, of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines Co. Speaking o.
his decision to move the business of
his brokerage company to Ely from
G%oldfeld, Mr.. Whitmore said last
night:
Il will tell you just how things in
Ely look to me. They look just as
things did at Goldfeld when l went
into that district in 1904-as if the
district is on the verge of immense
STOWCu anu great IL 10
near at hand. That is just how Ely
looks to me today and for that rea-
son / will locate here permanently.
We will retain here the same eastern
connections we have had at Gold
field"
Mr.. Whitmore visited Copper Flat
yesterday and it is needless to say
that he was much impressed with
what he saw. He also went over the
Ely Verdi and speaking of that prop
erty said that development work,
preparatory to securing patents, had
just been completed and that the
surveys will be made at once He
further stated that a churn drill, will
be placed in operation on the prop
erty as soon as one can be secured
and that the future work on the
ground will be pushed with all pos
sible vigor. Mr.. Whitmore also an
nounced that Ely-Verdi will very
shortly place a small block of treas
ury stock among local brokers.

WILL WITNESS EFFORT TO
LEAVE OFF THE WORD.
az Assoeiated Press.

Nashville, Tenn, June ia Mem
phis dispatch says:
Dropping of the word South from
the name of the Southern Methodist
church at the next general conference
OF the church in Asheville, n. c., will
be urged by many ministers, accord
ing to reports made to the Memphis
Methodist association. The matter
has aroused a great deal of interest
and was the subject of a hot debate
by local members of the church. 1t
Is explained that the failure of mis-
sionaries to be able to explain the
meaning of the word South in the
church's name, while working in for
eign fields, is directly responsible for
the movement.
The Methodist church in the South
has had the word in its official title
since the outbreak of the civil war
and many will oppose a change now.
