next meeting of the board an ap-
preparation would be made toward
the erection of a chapel in East Ely
to cos in the neighborhood of $1,000
all of which will go into the building.
During the summer, friends and
members of the church in East Ely
have been quietly soliciting funds to-
ward the project, with the result
that two-thirds of that amount has
been raised in the field itself, while
the board now makes up the one
third balance needed to put up the
structure. The money comes in the
nature of a grant.
Not a loan, so that the building
will be free of Indebtedness on its
completion.
1t will be a pretty frome structure
built after the bungalow style OF
architecture, with projecting roof.
1t will have seating capacity of 125.
Work is to be commenced at once,
and the building will be ready for
use by the first of October.
The work of the Presbyterian
church in the Ely district, began
some two years ago, when the Rev.
Mr.. McCullugh visited the field, to
be followed by Rev. Francis H.. Rob
inson, who organized Sunday schools
in East Ely and several of the min
ing camps. Preaching services were
first began by MI. Robinson, in East
Ely, in December 1907. In Septem-
Der of the following year, Mr.. Gill
man was placed in charge of the
field, and held his first meeting in
the parlors of the Cumberland hotel.
Through the courtesy of the board
of school directors. the use of the
East Ely school house was secured
a little later, since when the work
has gone on uninterrupted.
On May 16 of the present year the
church was formally organized by
Rev. S. H. Jones, pastor evangelist,
for the state of Nevada, and on this
occasion e. c.. Hair was ordained a
ruling elder of the church. About
a month ago the church was in
corporated, through Attorneys
Mitchell & Belford, it's legal name
being 1.-The First Presbyterian
Church of East Ely, Nevada"
The society publicly expresses
through the columns of the News, it's
appreciation of the courtesies shown
it, and thanks those friends who
have helped it in any way, and who
have now made it possible for the
church to possess a permanent
home, the doors of which shall be
open to all.

Eggs, Scrambled in Transit, Mess up
Whole Sack of MissivcS.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. IL
Eggs as an article of mail transporta-
ton are not popular with United
States postal authorities. 1t de-
veloped today that some one in Can
ada had mailed three dozen eggs to
an addressee in Brattleboro, VT,
and when postmaster H. E. Taylor
opened a mail bag he found it drip
ping with eggs freshly scrambled.
Addresses were obliterated from
letters in many instances. and they
had to be sent to the dead letter
office. Such a situation could not
arise from mail originating in the
United States. as such things as eggs
are not mailab1e in this country.
