FIRST STEPS TAKEN IN PROJECT.
To BUILD STREET RAILWAY LINE.
A. B. Witcher Asks For Franchise For
Local Traction System to Connect
With Proposed Reduction Plant

from the south end of Mill street, or
Murry street whichever may be
deemed best by the engineers), to
Aultman street to Twelfth street;
thence north to Lyons avenue; thence
east along Lyons to point on line
with the center of Ely avenue;
thence northerly along Ely avenue to
North street in Central Ely; thence

city limits; thence along the main
road in a general northerly direction
across section 10 and section 3,

across portion of section "a, town.
ship II north, range SO east.
From time to time as may be
necessary for the convenience of the
inhabitants, this street railway sys-
tenn may be extended over other
streets in the city. THE purpose of
this railway system is to furnish a
rapid, convenient and cheap means
of transportation between the city
and the new smelter which is pro-
posed to be constructed in the vicin-
ity of the warm springs. | feel that
this system will make for the up
building of Ely and the surrounding
territory, and will promote the best
interests of the city and the people.
| make this application in good
iaith, and feel sure that 1t will be
so received. If you see fit to grant
me this franchise, have every rea-
son to feel certain that IL will re-
suit in the construction, completion
and operation of a railway without
undue delay"
The foregoing outline of the route
is mainly to get the matter before the
proper authorities without delay and
for the purpose of getting action. and
does not necessarily imply that the
railway viii follow this route in
every particular. Mr.. Witeher, in
promoting the enterprise, stated yes
terday to a representative of the
News, that he very much desired that
the railway should be surveyed and
laid out as to include East Ely, and
an engineer has looked over the
ground with that idea in view. The
matter will be taken up with the
townsite company and other proper
ty owners interested, with the view
to getting permission to bring the
street railway through East Ely. pro-
vided the franchises are granted.

A move bearing on Ely's future de-
yelopment was made the past week
by President A. r. Witcher of the
Ely National bank, when he filed ap-
plication for a franchise for street
railway in Ely. The idea of local
street railway is not a new one, but
the revival of the project at this
time Is eo-incident with the plans of
the Consolidated Coppermines COM
pany to build a reduction plant in
proximity to the Elys. that will stim-
ulate the growth of the towns, en-
larging their boundaries and increas-
ing their population. In that event,
which is now looked upon AS almost
a certainty, street railway connect
ing Ely, East Ely and the property
of the reduction plant is a perfectly
reasonably project and will meter
ialize here the same as in other
large and growing places where local
transportation facilities are. needed.
Mr.. Witcher's move in the matter
is one tnat sayors of public spirited
enterprise. and he disclaims any ul-
terror motives. A street railway
franchise secured and controlled by
local parties and backed by local in
terests, would be in a better posi-
ton to serve the public needs than
such an enterprise promoted by cut
side parties for speculative purposes.
If the town grows. as everyone
believes il will, and the street rail-
way is forthcoming, the traction SER
vice will grow accordingly. and grad
ually be extended until all parts of
the district are included in the ser
vice. A local traction line, with fire.
quent service at low rate, is con-
ducive to the growth of any COM
munty where the needs warrant,
and such results invariably follow
The following is the copy of the COM
manieation addressed by MIR WitCher
to the city council of Ely and the
board of county commissioners:
"Gentlemen:-I respectfully re
quest that you grant me a franchise
for street railway TO be construct
ed in the City of Ely A form of

mitted herewith. ! have also this

Prospective Indian Pupils Adopt
Elastic Age Scale to Euade La,0

The age OF the youthful Indians
seems to be of a most elastic nature,
and they become more than eighteen
or less than six with surprisingly
little effort-or conjunction.
The question has been raised as
to the objection of Indian parents to
having their children compelled TO
go to Carson. as will be the case un-
less an Indian school is established
in Ely This is a humane incident of
the question that may have to be tax
en- into consideration. but leaving
aside the matter of sentiment. the
Indian school at Carson is not only
beautifully located, but the pupils at
tending are very well provided for,
and very much better off than If al
lowed TO grow up in idleness and
ignorance. The idea of the state in
adopting compulsory school atten-
dance for the Indian children is for
their betterment and time will prove
the merits OF the idea.
That the Indian pupils must neces-
sarily go to Carson-no other means
being provided--is a foregone con-
clusion. and the Indian children and
their parents will have to abide by
the situation. The Ely public schools
are not adequate for the purpose,
and Indian pupils. handicapped in
various ways by being thrown among
white children would not make tbe
advancement that would result in o
segregated school in charge of a
teacher experienced in the instru.
tion of Indians.
Probably no permanent decision
will be made nnul the visit 70 thu

Jessie b. Mordsolf. superintendent
of the Indian school at Carson City,
has informed Deputy State Superin-
;endent Lightfoot, that Indian child
ren will be received at the Indian
school where there are already more
than 300 in attendance. Transporta-
ton will be furnished those old
enough to travel alone. and the su-
perintendent will come To Ely
for those who need looking after en-
route. Superintendent Mordsolf also
says that he will come to Ely the
latter part of October to look
over the local conditions rel
ative to the Indian school children.
The possibility of having to trans
port the Indian pupils to Carson is
based on the supposition that 1t will
not be practicable nor possible TO
send them to Ely public schools.
Meantime Truant Officer Reedy is
taking a census of the Indian child
rem of school age, and will round up
ali in sight for enrolment tomorrow.
Ii is rather difficult proposition
particularly at this time, when most
of the Indians old and young are
busiy engaged in gathering pine
nuts. So far as estimated there are
about 90 young Indians in and
around Ely, who are of the specified
school age. The work of the official
taking the school census is further
hindered by the evasion of the pros
pectiye pupils themselves. They
have gotten wise to what is going on,
and have adopted a sliding age scale
that leaves 1t the discretion OF the
census taker as to whether the par
ticular child is too young or too old
