the twenty-five members of my club.

They sorrowfully grouped them
selves about me, and Fenson, burying
his head on my shoulder. almost wept

Yes, old fellow. 1t is too true. She
has invited every man Jack down here
to spend Christmas with her, and an

There was a solemn pause. The
truth was painful. but we felt that we

GROWING TOWN
Many Fine Improvements During the
Past Season. Sidewalks and Water
Works Improvements.

Our neighboring town OF Smithfleld
has been forging to the front during
the past season. Over three and
half miles of sidewalk have been con-
structed. Three fine cement bridges
have been built across Summit Creek
and canals within the city.
The city made the purchase Of the
Sun Miles spring and It has been con-
nected up with the water system
which puts Smithfield in a class by
herself for fine water and up-to-date
water system. This work has been
done under the able engineership of
w. w. Mclaughlin of Logan. who
has ac:ed in the capacity of city engi-
neer for Smithfleld for several years.
Already hydraulic and civil engineers
have been over proposed site foc a
municipal electric light plant.
A number of fine residences have
been built this season in Smithfield
and the street car line has been ex-
tended to the center of town. There
are now awaiting fine weather. three
or four more paving districts which
will in all probability be created the
first thing in the spring When this
work is completed. there is no town
in the valley which can boast Of more
improvements than can Smithfield
The foundation has been completed
for a $4,000 opera house.

THE HYRUM FOLK
ARE UP-T0-DATE

Hyrum boasts of not being behind
any of the other towns in the vallav
in the matter of good water system
This season the people rejoice because
they have good drinking water. At an
estimated cost Of 100000, a water avs
tenn has been built, the water being
brought from a pure mountain spring
in the Blacksmith Fork canyon. The
installation Of this system has done
more than any other one thing to
make thhe citizens of Hyrum proud
Of their city.

If | had been a reasonable being, l
should never have fallen in love with
Miss Galbraith. 1t was an illogical
proceeding, because 1t made my presi-
dency of the Bachelors club, which
| had formed three years before, ex-
tremely uncertain-or, at least, 1t
seemed to make 1t uncertain.
Nothing was more desirable than
my club. We had every comfort, in
addition to good fellowship; and the
fact that we were all members did not
preclude us from the society Of wom-
en-. Indeed, 1t gave zest to that So
ciety. for It seemed to surround US
with an additional safeguard.
Miss Galbraith's father had left her
several millions. She owned the
building in which our club was quar-
tered. The agent had called on me
only three weeks before Christmas to
tell me that we must either sign an
other three years lease, or vacate on
the let Of January. There were
twenty-five of US, and we had already
agreed-it was in the constitution

BLOCK AND SIDEWALK TO
BE CLEANED

Persistent reports have been in
circulation in this city for the past
three days that the sidewalk in front
of the Tonopah block, which was de-
stroyed by fire last July, would be
cleaned of all rubbish, and that the
huge pile of debris and ruins would
also be removed by the owners. Ef-
forts to secure confirmation of the
rumors have proved fruitless, al
though it might be possible that the
owners of the property contemplate
removing the unsightly mass that
now decorates that location.
The sidewalk has been impossible
since the fire and should it be
cleaned, pedestrians would be in
danger from the west wall of the
building. which threatens to topple
over at any time.
Should the owners have decided to
clean up the property an eyesore
would be removed from Brougher
avenue.

GAMBLING CHARGE
SAM JELLLlcH BROUGHT TO TO-

Sam Jellich, one of the alleged
gamblers who was recently indicted
by the grand jury as result of
the raid made several weeks ago by
the sheriffs office upon the Balkan
saloon, was brought up from Rhyo-
lite today by Deputy Sheriff De
gan to appear and answer to the
charge. Jellich was working in the
Keane Wonder mine at the time the
indictment was returned and was
placed under arrest by the deputy
sheriff at Rhyolite.
Degan left for Rhyolite Tuesday to
secure the prisoner and returned
this morning with Jellich. Jellich was
confined in the county jail and will
be held in custody until he secures
bonds.
The defendant was not placed un-
der arrest at the time of the raid, as
the officers declared that he was not
participating in the alleged poker
game that was being played. He
was observing the game, and was
allowed to go free The grand jury
in their investigations, returned an
Indictment against Jellich and his
arrest followed,

DR.. RICHARDS IS
AGAIN APPOINTED
HEALTH OFFICER
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ALSO
REAPPolNT MRS. COURT AS
HOSPITAL MATRoN

DR. c. j. Richards, health officer In
Tonopah for the past two years, was
again reappointed to that office late
yesterday afternoon by the board of
county commissioners. In submitting
his bid for the office DR.. Richards
had the backing of practically every
physician in Tonopah as well as the
business men.
The board considered the matron-
ship at the county hospital and it
was decided that no change be made,
Mrs Kate Court being reappointed
to serve for the present year. It
had been rumored that change was
to be made in this connection, but
the storm of protest from the peo-
pie of this city is believed TO have
ayerted such an action.
Mrs. Court has served as matron
at the hospital for about six years
and during that time not a single
her. Every person treated at the
hospital has been lavish in the
praise of the work of the matron
and her excellent record won for
her the appointment for the present
year.
