ELY on MIDLAND TRAIL MAP

A few months ago, A. L.
Westgard, official pathfinder for the
American Automobile association,
visited Ely. In fact, he was here
twice in connection with his duties
of logging the Midland trail, as the
, transcontinental automobile route
is known, from Salt Lake City to the
coast. As an outcome of Pathfinder
Westgard's observations and data,
the American Automobile associa-
ton has issued an official map, and
Ely Is very much on tLat map. as
three routes from Salt Lake to Fly,
are shown as desirable for the auto
tourist in his journey across the
country. ogden. which has been
putting forth strenuous efforts to
have the Midland trail choose the
northern route, is not given a place
on the map. which is pretty con-
elusive evidence that the American
Automobile association after careful
study of the situation believes the
southern route, via Ely, is the most
practicable. The map, issued this
early in the season, when prospective
tourists are planning their summer
trips and routes, will be sure to
have the effect of sending a lot of
the transeontinental automobile
travel this way, meaning that many
eastern visitors will register at Ely
before the season is ended.
Beginning with New York, the
map shows the Midland trail to pass
through Newark. N. j., Philadelphia,
York, Pittsburg, Pa, Wheeling, West
Virginia; Columbus, Ohio; Indian
apolis, Indiana; thence to East st.
Louis, H.; St. Louis, to Kansas City,
Mo-; to Manhattan, Kansas; to
Limon and Denver, Colo.
There is a choice of several
routes to Salt Lake City, from DEN
yer, and from Salt Lake to Ely a
short cut is shown from Provo, via
Milford. Westward from Ely the
Midland trail points to Tonopah and
G%oldfeld, thence to Big Pine, Calf,
and through Plancha, Mojava and
Palmdale to Los Angeles. The map
also lays a route from Big Pine to
Sacramento and Oakland, via Bishop,
Bridgeport and Lake Tahoe.
All of which goes to show the
Importance of towns, counties and
states keeping fully awake to the
importance of making and maintain
ing good roads.
The highways are distined to
play as important a part in the de-
velopment of country as did
the railroads in opening up new ter
ritory to be developed. The good
roads movement has followed the
utility of the automobile and the
country that keeps up its roads is
bound to get the business and at the
same time enjoy the benefit and
pleasures that result from easy lines
of travel.

Funny part is that a big bunch here

He has made himself a tremen-
dous fayorite with Los Angeli-
cans since he took up permanent
residence there; he has played his
part as a citizen in keeping things
going.
In keeping with his profession,
the comedian %oun he will
make his campaign through the pic

theaters six or seven hundred feet

another two hundred of himself with
his dinner pail in one hand and a
clean pair of overalls in the other,
entering the new Mace Plant. The
title for this is IF Defeated"
If Omaha can have a Cowboy
Mayor, why not a Photoplayer May

time, however, you can see him act
in many of his late comedies, n OF

The weather man celebrated
Arbor day with a snow storm, and
the clouds hung low with inter-

of rain and hail, that resulted in a
lot of moisture. 1t was about as
d~isagreeable a day from the weather
standpoint as this section of Ne

the storm was not unwelcome.
Several trees were planted by pupils

HOW IT LOOKS To THE WOMEN

The following are from the pub
licity department of the Nevada
Equal Franchise Society:
Australia and Votes for Women.
In Australia the white slave traffic
was stopped ten years ago and
men convicted of il were punished
with logging and imprisonment.
Prostitution has been greatly re-
duced, as a living wage has been as
sured all women who want to work;
so none are driven TO that horrible
path by any economic need. As
sault on a child is considered such
a terrible crime that a man COM
hitting 1t is deemed unfit to be at
large and and Is shut up for life in
an asylum. Legitimate children
have been legitimatized and the
father made responsible and bound
to support the mother and child
This act was first passed in South
Australia, but is now made a federal
act. The age of consent has been
raised from fourteen to eighteen
years; and it is hoped to further
raise It to twenty-one.
Hogs vs.. Babies.
The Indiana legislature which
has just adjourned appropriated
$4,000 for the better care of hogs
and defeated an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the better carr of babies.
II also failed to act on the suffrage
amendment and defeated a proposal
for a constitutional convention.

confidence, in the visitors and threw
the city wide open to them and their

affairs of the p~ostoff1ce department and

carriers and examinations. BY a re-
cent ruling of the department, rural
carriers must pass the same exarnina-
tions as city carriers and clerks SO that
upon demand they may be put to work
in cities either as clerks or carriers.
But the result has been that many do
not care to take the examination and
difficulty is experienced in getting ru-
raj carriers and substitutes for them.

OPINION DIVIDED
ABOUT CO. BOARDS

Denhoff, N. D., July 23.-Although
the Sheridan board of county COM
missioners have drawn lots as to the
length of the terms they are to serve
respectively in accordance with the
law enacted by the last session of the
state legislature, there is considerable
divergence of opinion throughout the
country regarding the length of their
tenure.
The law mentioned provides that
where the county boards of commits
sloners consists only of three mem
bers that the members should draw
lots to determine which one should
serve two years. This law also pro-
vides that the commissioners drawing
the long term should hold office for a
period of four years from Jan. 1, 1913.
This conflicting bit of legislation,
which is the creation of Sen. J. Ellis
worth Davis of Goodrich, is contended
by some that eve though the present
members of the board in Sheridan
county were elected in 1910, this new
1913 law gives them an automatic ex-
tension. of office for four years more.
On the other hand many hold the
opinion that the term of the commits
sioners who drew the long term last
week will expire Jan. /, 1915 regard
less of the 1913 act. AS a result of
the drawing William F. Ahlbrecht. the
present chairman, will serve until Jan.
l, 1915. Commissioners Bitz and Bick-
ley will serve four years. -

INJURIES FATAL
TO LUDWIG Il Holm
MAN, INJURED JULY g., DIES-WAS
NOT THOUGHT HE WAS
FATALLY HURT

Grand Forks, N D., July 23.-As the
result of internal injuries received at
the Great Northern freight warehouse
July 9, Ludwig Holm died at a local
hospital yesterday morning, where he
had. been taken for treatment. The
man was employed at a "box carpen-
ter" around the place, and, while
standing beside the door of one of the
box cars, a heavy cast gear wheel fell
on him. The wheel weighed about
1000 pounds. The man had one of his
legs broken and was otherwise bruised,
but it was not thought that he was
fatally injured! He has been receiving
good care at the hospital and seemed
to be recovering in good shape. Even
yesterday morning he seemed to be
feeling better, but in a short time he
was dead. ~
The deceased was A years of age
and was native of Russia, where his
wife and six children survive him. He
also has a. daughter in this city, Mrs.
Anna Hauck, with whom he was liv-
ing at 1105 international avenue. An
other daughter, Mrs. Elsner, is living

DEPUTY U. S.
MARSHAL HAS
THE FIGURES

Devils Lake Journal: An interest
ing Devils Lake visitor yesterday was
J. ID. Brown, n or Cass, county's most
prominent citizens who as a side line
is serving lis deputy United States
marshal, assisting Jim Shea. It is
likely that Mr.. Brown win harvest q
good crop for the state on his farm
west OF Fargo. The stand of grain on
the place is in keeping with the ele-
CANT $4,000 home which the veteran
farmer provided for his family. The
fact that he farmed well is attributed
by MT. Brown as responsible for the
success scored this year.
There is no better posted farmer In
the northwest than the recent addition
to the marsha1's office. On a recent
trip to Chicago he found that potatoes
which he sold for go cents a bushel in
North Dakota We're served in the
windy city for $50 a bushel; that beef
which sold for 8 cents here was served
at the rate of $3.50 a pound; that
wheat which brought so cents here
was sold for $27 a bushel in the form
of crackers. :
All of which lead to that very yex-
ing question, who really is the goat?
Deputy Browns mission here yester-
was to arrest an Indian on the
reservation charged with bootleeging.
