PLANS FOR AUTO ROUTE
FROM ELY TO SALT LAKE

The efforts of the Ely Commercial
Club to assist in the construction of
an excellent auto route between Ely
and Salt Lake are expected to attain
fruition during the coming summer.
1t is almost assured that Salt Lake
will complete the th%oroughfare as far
as Deep Greek. From that point to
Shellbourne pass no difficulties will
be encountered in road building.
The county commissioners will prob
ably be asked to eliminate the steep
grade over Shellbourne pass. The
completion of this road will mean
that all transcontinental tourists.

position at San Francisco in 1915

SALOON At GARRISON
WRECKED BY DYNAMITE

The saloon building belonging to
w. r. Dows was completely wrecked
at Garrison, Utah, about . o'clock
last Tuesday morning by an explosion
of dynamite. Although there is no
clue as to the perpetrator of the das-
tardly outrage, it is believed that the
structure az blown up by some Of
Bows enemies, who We're displeas-
ed because he had decided to engage
in business in that community.
The cash register was driven
through the roof by the force of the
impact, and the walls of the building
collapsed entirely. The loss is esti-
mated at $1,000, none of which is
covered by insurance.
1t is evident that the disciples of
the McNamaras were unduly fanil-
lar with the habits of the owner of
the saloon, and had no intention Of
committing murder, as there was no
one in the building when the ex-
plosion occurred. A dog, which lad
been left by Bows in the saloon af-
ter he had closed up Monday night,
was found uninJured on the outside
after the wreekage was discovered.
Bows had purchased a supply of
wet goods and other articles, essen
-.
tial in the conducting of a saloon at
Ely about three weeks ago, and, II
is claimed. commenced business,
without contributing 500 to the
sheriff of Millard county for a retail
liquor license. Bows is undismay-
ed by his misfortune, and declaf S
that he will remove the remnants Of
his establishment across the line IA
Nevada, and again open up for bust
ness in this county, where he anti
cipates that he will be immune from
the operations of the dynamiters.
Mr.. Dows arrived in Ely Friday to
purchase a new stock of liquors and
cigars.

count of unfavorable weather Con-
ditions. Part of the foundation for
the structure has been put in, ard
some of the lumber has been de-
liyered on the ground, so that moth
ing will interfere with actual con-
struction work next spring.
The mill is to be supplied with
water raised from wells that have
been sunk by means of churn drills,
and plenty of water is available
from that source. The ores that will
be treated in the new plant will come
from the company's mineral posses
sions in Dry Guleh and on Oseeola
mountain. The corporation is back
ed by eastern and Colorado Capital
lists.

SOCIALISM BOBS UP
AS DIVORCE GROUND

Socialism as a ground for divorce
bobbed up in the district court at
Reno last Tuesday before Judge Cole
man of this city, and while the hold
ing of the tenets of that teaching was
not directly classed as cruelty it was
developed on the witness stand that
when pursued to the extreme IL
might enter the category of grounds.
Whenever a husband has imbibe1
socialism immoderately so that he
thinks of little else, talks of little
else and inhicts his views not only on
his wife but on her friends, the con-
dition warrants consideration on TIE
charge of cruelty.
The case which developed these
points was that of Nellie G.. Baldwin
against Wright Baldwin. The
plaintiff stated that matters wont
along well until the husband began
to study socialism. Judge Coleman
did not comment on the intrinsic evil
or good of socialism. He granted a
divorce on the ground of cruelty,
after the wife testified that she WIS
compelled to go to a sanitarium for
nervous p~rostration brought on by
the irritable and intolerant methods
used by the husband to convince her
of the all Importance of his theories

RICHARDSON AND MARKS
OBJECT TO SEWER TAN

Or. r. II. Richardson and j. r.
Marks. owners of the Richmar, filed
a protest with the city council last
Monday night against the tax which
had been levied on that building for
sewer purposes in district No. 5,
claiming that they had previously
made connections with the sewer on
Clark street at an expense of $500.
They consider hat it would be ali
injustice to compel them to pay an
additional tax. The matter was
referred to the committee on SANTA
ton.
Owing to the condition of the city's
finances, the committee on police re-
fused to sanction the employment of
an extra policeman to be detailed at
night in the third ward. ;,

RESTRAINING ORDER
IS BEING CONSIDERED

Attorney S. w. Bedford returned
Wednesday night from the western
part of the state, where he has been
attending to legal business for the
last two weeks. In Carson recently
he appeared for the smelter company
in an action instituted by Miller q
Lux TO restrain the company from
operating the new smelter for the
reason that the fumes arising from
the furnaces would prove injurious
to the large tract of agricultural
land controlled by the plaintiffs in
Mason Valley.
The application for the injunction
has been argued in the district court.
and taken under Amusement by
Judge Langan. Mr.. Belford said
that the proposed restraining
order against the smelter was
a matter of great Importance to
the entire state, and that If the smell
ter were 10 De DdITeu lion NeFdud
II would mean that it would be prao-
tically impossible to reduce great
bodies of low grade refractory ores
| which will not stand the expense cf
transportation to Utah points.
Mr.. Bedford stated that the pres
ent capacity of the smelling plant is
500 tons a day, but declared that the
second furnace would be ready for
operation in thirty days. He also
remarked that the smelter was a
commercial success.
At Yerington in addition to con-
ferring on che matter of the injunc-
ton suit, Mr.. Bedford appeared as
counsel for DR.. w. T. Eikner, eharg-
ed with the murder of w. J. Otter
The case will be tried in the district
court on February 10. The defendant
claims that otter was unduly famil-
lar with his wife. and will plead the
unwritten law for a defense.

Bribery charges have been made.
A man named George Byrne, 1t is al

an offer of $1,000 if he would I

the Judge who told him to go back
and get the money. He said that
Byrne was a stranger to him. He
came back to the Judge with h
story that Byrne said that he would
give him the money after the case
had been tried. Byrne was indicted.
Then more talk was heard of bribery.
The grand jury was investigating THIS
and a sensation seemed imminent.
The sensation did not develop. There
were no further indictments. In
view of these proceedings and the
fact that one or more jurors had
been in consultation with the judge
and the district attorney, the attorn-
eys for Rice asked for a mistrial.
Three times has this motion been
made and three times has it been
denied by the court. This week the
defense will have its innings. Thus
far the government has not attacked
the integrity of the mining properties
operated by the Scheftels Company.

The plan is similar to that insert

The debate in the senate on the
initiative and referendum scheme
was exceedingly tame and rather
brief-so brief, in fact, as to give
rise to a suspicion that some OF
the members didn't know exactly
what they were voting for. AT
least, they apparently had only a
hazy idea of what initiative and
referendum means as a principle in
state government, but when told
that its purpose was to confer
more power on ''the dear people, y
