Conclusive demonstration of his
as large residence and business
center was the action of w. b.
Thompson yesterday when he sane
toned plans for new business
block in East Ely and authorized i'm
mediate construction. In addition,
Mr. Thompson sanctioned the prog
ress made with the installment plan
of the Ely Securities Co. for the
benefit of those In the district who
may desire to become home owners
and authorized its continuance.
The new business p1ock will be
erected upon the foundation next to
the Steptoe hotel and will have sew
en- fine large store rooms on the
first floor. The basement will also
be made into business quarters. The
structure will follow plans drawn
some time ago and with other busi-
ness buildings which are to be erect
ed this spring will fill the one need
that East Ely has experienced, that
of quarters for business houses
which have desired to come here and
avail themselves of the trade of the
railroad men, smelter, mill and mine
men who reside in East Ely and
whose number grows with each
week.
When ii became known yesterday
that Mr.. Thompson had quickly en-
dorsed the plans presented for build
ing the business block and that home
building on the installment plan
would continue, there was an imme-
diate stir in East Ely and announce
ment came without delay of plans
for the erection of two more business
blocks by individual interests. One
of these will be built by Col. w. E.
Bowen on his lots next to the East
Ely grocery building and the other
will be erected by Fulmer & Ives.
This latter building will fill In the
space between the present Fulmer &
Ives concrete building and the Ely
Townsite 20. building.
Mr.. Thompson spent most or yes
terday in the office of the Ely Town
site Co., where he went thoroughly
into matters pertaining to his inter-
ests in the district. He said at the
conclusion of the day that he was
very we'll pleased with the state of
affairs he had found and that his real
estate interests looked betteS than
ever to him, both in Ely and East
Ely. He expects that both towns will
make fine progress this year. East
Ely has demonstrated its merit ana

there Is no longer question as to its
growth in population and Industry,

STRIKE Of
MINERS MAY
Be OUTCOME

CINCINNATI, March 14.-Indus-
trial peace or a nation wide coal
strike will be the outcome of con-
ferences and committee meetings
preceding and during the 1nterna-
tional convention of the United
Mine Workers of North America
here this week.
Recognizing the Importance of the
gathering, workmen and mine own
ers on arriving here today, sought
out members of the sub-scale COM
mittee of the central competitive
field, plying them with arguments as
to why the increased wages should
or should not be granted.
The sub-soale committee had It's
first session during the day. In this
its likely attitude did not develop.
From what can be gathered, how
ever, il looks as If the committee
will make recommendation of an
advanced scale.

HA()[AGE
IGNORED
In Supreme Court Dakota
DeciSiOn.-Live Stock
RuIing--O Case Up

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
sessions of the Supreme court of the
United States were made more than
usually notable and interesting to
the public today by the handing down
of several mighty important decisions
in which there has been widespread
interest, and by opening of the Stand
ard Oil case. Among these was rul-
ing on the North Dakota coal rate
law of 1907. The court held the law
to be constitutional for the present
despite the claim of the railroads
that the law requires the transpor-
tation of coal below the cost of the
hauling service.
The court declined to vacate the
writ of error issued by Justice Bur-
ton in the case of Charles r. Heike,
of New York, who was denied free
dom by the lower court from prose-
cution on an indictment of conspir-
aey TO defraud the government.
BY divided bench, 4 to A, the court
affirmed the decision of the Federal
court holding that the separate ship
ment is the proper unit for assessing
penalties under the 2S-hour law, and
not the train. The decision is one OF
great importance to the railroads and
stockmen, affecting every shipment
that may be carried beyond the 2S
hour limit without the attention pre-
seribed by law.
Found by the lower Federal court
to be a combination in restraint of
trade and a monopoly of a branch
of interstate commerce, Standard
Oil appeared at the bar of the Su-
preme court of the United States to
make final argument against its dis
solution under the Sherman anti
trust law. The government was
present to insist on a decree OF en-
forcement of the order of dissolution.
This proceeding before the high
est tribunal of the country is the
outgrowth of years of investigation
of Standard Oil on the part of the
government. The defense had In
court today corps of the brightest
legal minds to be obtained. On the
governments side there were Attor-
ney General Wickersham and Frank
b. Kellogg, who has fought the case
from the nrst.
