Grand Army of the Republic encamp-
ment, to be held in Reno. next month
as indicated by the following, from
the Reno Gazette. of Thursday:
An express package weighing so

SOME MAY WEATHER.

II any of the maidens of Ely
arose Thursday morning with the
idea of going forth barefooted and
bathing their feet in the May dawn
dew, they undoubtedly changed their
minds. and put on their heavy shoes
and rubbers instead. For May day,
May first was good deal OF a frost,
ana according to all indications
March and April became mixed on
the calendar, for April went out like
a lion and came in like a whole
menagerie of roaring beasts. In the
galaxy of states, Nevada and south
ern Idaho were the only ones report
ed by the weather bureau as showing
marked fall In temperature This
developed Wednesday night with
good imitation of blizzard
that came bowling out of the north
after a sudden shift from the south
of the wind that had blown a gale
from that quarter since Sunday morn
ing Boreas had q clear case
of delerium tremens, the principal
effect of which was the upsetting of
the plans of numerous Ely fishermen
who had planned TO start the night
before in order TO be whipping the
streams for trout with the dawn of
May first. Wednesday was not pro-
pitious night to start fishing, and con-
seqnently numerous Of the finny tribe
held a longer lease on life than would
have otherwise been the case,
some of them have since
been hooked and ultimately reached
the frying pan. If there is any truth
in the old saying that May snow is
good for sore eyes, Ely vision should
be thoroughly clarified. as May day
brought quite a plentiful supply of
the beautiful.

F.B Becker Gets Contract
For Installing Water
In Ely Cemetery

At a meeting of the city council,
Monday evening, F. b. Becker was
awarded the contract for installing
the water service in the cemetery
Mr.. Becker's bid which was the only
one presented, was for s59S.05.
According to the specifications pre-
pared by the city engineer, the con-
tract calls for a Pinch main and
three-quarter and one-inch laterals,
the system to be in within two weeks
from the signing of the contract, and
the contractor to furnish all help and
material, make the necessary exca-
vations and refill the bitches. The
old pipe line at present in the ceme-
terry, will be taken up and disposed
of by the city, for the best price OBJ
tainable.
Other business transacted included
a discussion as to the needs of bridge
repairs on the highway near Central
Ely, and the instrueting of the city
engineer to make such repairs as are
necessary. A report from City Clerk
Dickinson showed sewer and side
walk taxes due to the amount of
s658.33, a portion of which is not
collectable
During the administration of the
city government now about closing,
an overdraft of $500 with which the
started, has been paid
up and there is at present a balance
in the treasury.

o. q. BATES CANDIDATE FOR
ALDERMAN OF WARD ONE

o. G. Bates who has served on the
the first ward, during the past ad-
ministration of two years. is a candi-
date for reelection, and so far as
heard from will have no opposition
There is an old saying that man
who is successful in his own business
is competent to transact public busi-
ness. Mr.. Bates has proven the truth
of this assertion, as he is known as
successful business man. while in
looking after the affairs of the city
he has exercised the same careful
judgment that has characterized his
business conduct.
Mr. Bates came to the Ely district
before the days of the railroad, and
with ]. l.. Wilson engaged in the
furniture and undertaking business.
1t was the first firm to venture in
this line of trade, and the title "Ely's
Pioneer Furniture Store" is found
ed on fact. On the death of Mr. Will
son. Mr.. Bates succeeded to the busi-
ness which under his management
ranks as one of the largest of its
kind in the state, the Wilson-Bate
store being a model in every respect,
and equaling in fittings and stock
display the big city stores.
As his business brought him
in touch with the people and affairs
of all parts of the district, il was
but natural that he should become
identified with all that pertained to
the best interests of Ely, and his
successful venture into municipal pol
itics two years ago, was the logical
outcome of his standing as a citizen
and business man. Since his cleo
tion, his constituents in Ward One
and the people generally, have had
no cause to regret the move, and
are pleased to know that Mr.. Bates
is willing to longer serve as one of
the city fathers. While conservative
in a reasonable degree and capa-
BILE of recognizing and advocating
economy of the right sort, Mr.. Bates
has progressive ideas in keeping with
the times and which tend to keeping
Ely up to the mark as a wide-awake,
up to date city. His reelection
seems a foregone conclusion.

HOSE DISPLAY GETS NEW
YORK DAME AWFUL CALL

Justice GaYegan of New York,
looking down from the bench in Part
V, supreme court, fixed his stern and
Puritan eyes upon certain object
or objects to be more eorrect-and
pointing an accusing finger at the
same time, thundered:
Il want to say to that young lady
in black sitting there that she is dis
respectful TO this court and that she
is making an indecent exposure of
herself in a public place If she
wishes me to be more explicit. | will
say for her benefit that her lower
limbs are insufiiciently clad. She is
making far too free AN exhibition of
them"
Mrs. Rachel N. Ducas, slight,
neatly moulded little woman was
sitting cross-legged by the side of At
torney Amos IL. Evans.
Mrs. Ducas turned scarlet, her
ewes filled with quick tears OF mortl-
fication and she nervously tried to
smooth down her rather abbreviated
skirt.
The lawyer for the woman inform
ed the court that she was the defen-
.dant In the case, and the court retort-
cd II didn't care who she was.

Ely Shines rs Result
ofFnst Clean-UpDay

ladies of the club was ready for sery-
ing. 1t was more than a lunch. 1t
was a substantial meal and there was
enough for all hands. More than 300
children were served, and it is safe
to say everyone had had a hand in
one way or another in the cleaning of
Ely. As a further reward for the
children's efforts, they were given
opportunity to attend a free matinee
at the Ely Photoplay, while the Bird
Bowling alley contributed an oppor-
tunity for a period of free practice at
ten-pins. All things considered it
was an eventful day in the history
of Ely.
And as to results. Refuse was dug
out of obscure places that in all prob
ability dated back to the settlement
of the city, and before. The amount
collected surprised even the instiga-
tors of the movement, and the day
was far too short in which to COM
plete the work of carting away the
collection that included everything
from bones to discarded wearing ap-
parel. But so long as the removal
could not be completed Friday, the
teams will be provided until every
thing is cleaned up, Mayor Parker
having given word to that effect.
Nothing but good can result
from Cleanup Day." as it is bound
to arouse civic pride which is a very
good thing to keep alive, and it also
points to the value of efforts in the
maintenance of sanitation. Rubbish
is the breeding place of disease and
noxious insects. Keep the obscure
places and the alleys and back yards
clean and open to sun light and free
air. and the possibility of undesir-
able incubation is reduced to a mini
mum. Once started it is as easy to
maintain a clean, wholesome city as
to have places that are unsightly to
gaze upon and fraught with danger
Gus possibilities.
The Woman's club is appreciative
of the support given Cleanup Day, ="
and has publicly expressed thanks to
those contributing to the success of
the enterprise.

Get the women and children in
terested and things happen. The
Woman club some time ago took
note of the fact that Ely needed a
serubbing, or more specifically a
slicking-up. And Ely seems to have
gotten it, as notice the results of
Cleanup Day" The members of
the Woman's club took hold of the
scheme with will, and very soon the
interest had gone beyond the confines
of the club. Citizens thought it a
good thing and the city fathers show
ed their gallantry by Offering to as
sist in the work by contributing the
teams to carry away the collected re-
fuse. Further, the women got the
children ineresed and the boys and
girls proved willing and helpful allies
in carrying Cleanup Day. to a sue
eessful issue. With the children in
lterested it became essential that the
city schools should close and a holi-
day was granted. But it was not a
holiday in the sense of taking part in
pleasant recreation. Here again
should the school be given added
credit. for with a spring day beckon-
ing to the enjoyment of fishing and
other out-of-door sports. there were
no laggards and the response of re-
cruits for a general attack on Ac-
cumulated Rubbish. showed that
practically every kid" in Ely was on
hand. And this was not all, for
many an householder, stimulated no
doubt by the contagious enthusiasm,
worked about his premises. raking
and cleaning and getting together
the ong-aceumulated rubbish that it
might be taken away to the dump
ing ground.
The Cleanup Day" program COM
meneed Friday, at 8 O'Clock in the
morning, the meeting place being at
City hall, where the volunteers We're
divided into squads and sent to diff
ferent localities. 1t was soon seen
that the task was one of considerable
magnitude. but all hands stuck to
with perseverance, and by noon
wonders had been accomplished.

The western visit of these gentle

in reference to the visit to the Ely
district:

equalizing the taxes and familidriz-
ing themselves with property condi-
tions, and the sources of he states
revenue. The actual results of the
new law are yet to be witnessed. but
as ii has operated we'll in other states
there is no reason to believe that OPP
