NVOICING PLANS FOR
ELY'S ADVANCEMENT.

There was an attendance of about
one hundred at the smoker given Fri
day night, by the White Pine Rod and
Gun club. in the rooms of the White
not only one of sociability, but there
was developed an enthusiastic public
spirit for the advancement of Ely and
her enterprises. The program inelud-
ed speeches. stories, music and re-
freshments, and the evening through
out was a thoroughly enjoyable one.
Among those speaking informally
were Messrs. Mcdonald and Caperton
of the board of county commission
ers, Forest Supervisor Thompson. DIR.
Richardson, DR.. Wadleigh. DR.. Magoon,
G. F. Boreman, j S. Bennett and Ar
thur Shell Vocal selections were
rendered by Messrs. Shell. II. w. Ed
wards. DIR. Wadleigh, George Armand
and Bill Duddleson.
Forest Supervisor Thompson in his
remarks interested his audience with
a brief review of what the forest re-
serve was accomplishing in the way
OF conserving the fish and game in the
state. and that the procuring OF a
band of elk for White Pine county
was In view.
The principal address of the even
ing was by B. l.. Quayle. who touched
upon several subjects. He spoke in
part as follows
Gentlemen: Your committee asked
me to say few words tonight on a
couple OF subjects of quite general
public interest. Before | pass TO
them. however, wish to say, prellmi-
narily. that White Pine county is to
be congratulated on having such
large portion of its people take a lively
and active interest in sports. There
Is something about outdoor life that
is fascinating to every normal and
healthy mind. and have theory that
any individual who is not delighted
following the brook side and angling
for the willy trout. or taking his gun
and going into the fresh air among
the hills in the pursuit of game, is
either at fault in respect to his lungs
or his stomach. either his lungs are
weak or he Is a dyspeptie And | am
inclined to ascribe the old story about
fishing being a combination of a line
and a rod with a worm on one end
and a fool at the other 10 some dys-
peptic of years ago.
In line with the purposes for which
this club was organized. Is an effort
now being made by members of the
club and actively headed by Mr..
Fletcher to the end of acquiring a
branch FISH hatchery here in White
Pine county. Now. gentlemen. there
is one thing apparent as we observe
the affairs of life, and that is, when
we find anything worth having. 1t is
worth going after. and ! candidly be-
tffN AhaA lilio bou GditntiH
proposition is not only we'll worth
going after, but that II reasonable
measure OF determination Is shown,
II can very readily be landed for this
county. Mr.. Fletcher assures me that
Mr.. Mills, the state officer in charge
of such matter. has advised him that
dnI1aru "a, ha
forthcoming from the state TO defray,
partially, the expense of an officer to
attend the proposed local hatchery
We are also assured that the county
commissioners will do everything in
their power TO place like sum aside
In this matter. Then too. Mr.. Mills
has assured Mr. Fletcher that the fund
created by the annual fish and game
license In the county clerks office can
also be diverted for this purpose. And
so, you will observe, that the enter
prise is well on It's way, and | would
suggest and urge upon you most ern-
estly, that you go farther than pur-
thoco souI oWn nbh anu bdihC iitNHot
next February. and urge upon and
persuade at least one friend to do like
wise. The money is not being mis-
spent; II Is being devoted to a very
meritorlous use and though your
friend may not be a devotee of the
rod or gun, he can feel assured that
his money Is being we'll placed. With
out any especial effort in this dlrec-
tion last year, this fish and game lic-
ense fund amounted in this county to
nearly 5000, and It is not unreason-
able to expect that II some little effort
is put behind your work in the direc-
