FORC|BLE EXPRESSIONS ARE
MADE BY MANY FOR ROAD
GENERAL WISH IS THAT IT GET WHAT IT WANTS

Two petitions are being circulated
by the citizens of Ely for the imme-
diate granting of the franchises
sought by the Ely-Goldfield road
One of the petitions is addressed to
the county commissioners and the
other to the city council of Ely.
Mr.. Rasor was quoted Thursday
evening as having said that he had
expected some opposition to the
granting the franchise by the city
council; but that he did not expect
that but one man out of So would be
in favor of it. Mr.. Rasor is chief
engineer of the projected road as
well as the Tonopah & Tidewater.
doubtful, he would surely find that
he had made miscalculation in the
sentiment of the city.
Mayor Mcdonald is greatly in ia
yor of the new load, and he would
like to see it go down Garden
Clark street. The council seemed
to be in favor of it, certainly not
opposed to it. Citizens generally
appear to be fo~ it, and both petf-
tions are being crowded with names
of representative mining and bus1-
ness men; taxpayers and producers.
They want the railroad to pass
through Ely and they want it to
enter through Clark street, and they
would like to see the council act
quickly in the matter AS one of
the signers of both petitions put the
case:
1--WE have been clamoring for this
road for the last two years; now
that we have a chance to get it, why
hold it back by any action on our
part?"
Here is what some of the leading
citizens have to say about the COM
ing of the railroad:
have been led into his mistake as to
public sentiment from the fact that
the majority of people refrained from
going to the meeting of the city
council, for the reason that it was
not thought that anyone would have
the nerve to oppose the entrance of
the road through Clark street, which
is, without doubt, the only way for
the railroad and for the people of
Ely.
COMMISSIONER NICHOLSON
We should have the road and it
should be given all the aid that can
be extended to it. Clark street is
the logical entrance to the city. The
railroad should have it, and I for
one do not believe in any delay.
THOMAS ROCKHILL-I am most
thoroughly in favor of the road and
cannot understand why there should
be any objection, on any side, to it
coming in Clark street.
A. KNECHT-There should be no
delay in granting the franchise, and
Clark street is the proper entrance
to the city for the road. We have
waited long enough for trans-con
tinental road, and now that we have

Thirty more guards were rushed

hope that these can keep order until
the arrival of the troops, which will
probably be early tomorrow morn

WILL ASK
FOR FULL
AUTHORITY Y
President to so Proceed
With Congress in Mica
raguan Matter AT Work

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-There
seems to be but little doubt but that
the president will lay before con-
gress at an early date the facts in
the Nicaraguan situation, with a
view of receiving authority for any
further steps he may see fit to take
in the interest of American residents
in that country, and with the broader
view of putting an end to the SEEM
ingly interminable strife in Central
america.
AS to indemnity for the killing of
the Americans, Grace and Cannon,
there is reason to believe that no de-
mand will be made until the issue be-
tween the Zelayan govrnment and
the revolutionists has been settled
1t is the view of the United States
that there is at present no respon-
sible government in Nicaragua.
COLON, Dec. 4.-The United
States Gunboat Eagle has arrived
here from Costa Rica. The United
States Gunboat Marietta, which has
been lying off of Port Limons came
into this port last night.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-With
the opening of the first regular ses-
sion of the Slxty-first Congress but
two days away, senators and repre-
sentatives from near and far arrived
in Washington today, Many more are
due on trains arriving tomorrow.
Following the time honored GUS
tom, both houses will adjourn soon
nf 2t
out of respect to the memory of
those members who have died during
the recess of congress.
Tuesday will likely be devoted in
both houses to the reading of Presi-
dent Taft's message, and then the
lawmakers should be able to get
down to business Immediately, as all
appointments and other details of or
ganization are out the way.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.-The
transport Prairie, carrying 700
marines and cargo of equipment
to be used ina possible campaign in
Nicaragua, is still stuck in the mud
at Pea Beach Island, 35 miles from
this city, where she grounded Tues
day night.
Attempts to pull the big ship out
of the mud were made this afternoon
without avail and the morning high
tide is now awaited. The transport
Dixie, now at the navy yards, which
may be called upon to take the place
of the Prairie, is far from. prepared
for a sea voyage.
The Prairie is almost quarter of
a mile out of her course riyermen
declare. 1t is expected she sill have
to be brought back to the avy yard
here for survey. The marines in the
meantime will probably be sent
ashore.

Business Men Moving

ST. PAUL, Dec. 4.-Discussion
among the various business organiza-
tions of the Twin cities today is ex-
pected to result in some definite
movement to bring the railroad Off
clals and the switchmen together fol
conference. The railroad officials
however, declare that no concessions
will be made on their part and that
If the switchmen return to work
will have to be under the same con-
ditions that prevailed before the
strike.
The quarrel between Vice Presi-
dent Whitney of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen and Presideni
Hawley of the Switchmen's Union Is
the latest element injected into the
strike. Whitney says the Switch.

calling the strike was unfair to the
Brotherhood, unfair to it's own mem
bers and unfair with railroads.
To this statement President Haw-
ley has retorted that Whitneys state
ment is lame and contemplate, be-
cause he appeals to the men he wants
to go back as scabs.

CAPITALISTS BUY
IOLJSI.l LANDS

A Chicago syndicate, headed by
Messrs E. G. Howe, advertising
manager of the Appeal to Reason,
and George l.. Currier, owner of the
Woman's World, a Chicago month
~ magazine, have purchased a
tract of $4,000 acres of land from
the Bond Lumber Company at De-
Land, which lies wholly in Volusia
county.
This tract is bounded on west by
the St, Johns river, while the nroth
line runs about two miles north
from the Orange city branch of the
Florida East Coast Railway. The
east line of this property is just
seven miles west of the town of
New Smyrna and the main line of
the Florida East Coast Railway,
and the Titusville- Sanford branch
is the southern boundary of this
land.
The tract has been subdivided
into ten and twenty-acre tracts and
about May 18th the first body of
homeseekers will arrive on the
grounds to claim their purchases.
NJ. Leidersdorf, of Chicago, has
been appointed resident manager
and will make his headquarters at
New Smyrna until the administra-
ton building, probably at Indian
Springs, is built.
A great part OF land is we'll suited
for truck raising and citrus fruits,
and will no doubt be one of the best |

a short while. Every large tract of

Miami is being negotiated for by

done. The two members lave not
agreed over a proposition ior free
bridge from Daytona to Daytona
Beach, Alexander favoring the
same and Thornton oppps.ls it.
Alexander was standing in the
lobby OF the hotel talking to a
friend when Mr.. Thornton entered,
and in most emphatic manner
demanded Of Mr.. Alexander if he
had made a statement that he
(AlcXandcr) had written The plat
form upon which he (Thonton)
ran.
II understand that YOU made the
statement that you wrote the plat

Thornton.
Those in the lobby Of the hotel
who heard the remark thought that

addressing his colleague jokingly.
