follows: Beginning at the northeast
corner of township 70, thence east
to the summit of the Snake Creek
Range, thence south until it inter-

The Steptoe Valley Dancing Club.
which was recently organized at Nc
Gill, has made arrangement with
Business Manager G.. V. Jenkins,
whereby ii will take over the dancing
pavilion near the ranch house and
give a series of open air dances dur
ing the summer months. The club
has a membership of about seventy
five and this number will be greatly
increased, as all the male population
of MeGill, of good character, are
eligible to become members. The
club will start off with a healthy
treasury, as all members will pay
an initiation fee of 50 and a like
for monthly dues. An ad-
mission fee of rs cents will be charg-
ed all non-members who attend the
dances. The club will give its initial
dance on Saturday evening, July 16,
after which they will be held every
second and fourth Friday of each
month. At the first meeting of the
club Thomas O'Boyle was elected
president and w. l.. Howard secre-
tary and treasurer. Frank Miller,
Fred Curtis and j.. f. Biggane
yer appointed a committee to
draw up the bylaws and G..
ID. Preston, Joe Smith and A. S. Pc
terson will have charge of the music.
The floor committee will be eompos-
ed of sll members of the club.
The large number of pedestrians
Aultman street Thursday evening
treated to a novel scene, the re-
suit of a bet on the late fight. Dan
McNichols, a mixologist at the Apex.
allowed his race pride to ger the bet
ter of mis- judgment and as a result
lost a bet, the provisions of which
made 1t imperative on his part to
wheel Fred A. Rogers, who played
Johnson for a winner, down the
principal street of Ely. Before get
ting in the wneelbarrow, Rogers bad
his face BACKED with the view of
as much like the new champ
ion as possible and the likness vas
a number of the specta-
tors so remarking. When the time
came for the journey, Colonel Banks,
whose views on most subjects are
usually the same as those of Rogers
took the position of grand marshal
and led the line of march down Ault-
street. One of the amusing
features of the wheelbarrow ex-
hibition was that most of those
witnessing the affair, were of the
opinion that Rogers was officiating
as grand mashal, while Colonel
Banks, was in the w~heelbarrow. OF
course that was a mistake but the
resemblance of the two mar was
such as to cause a confusion in the
of onlookers.
