BUFFET SERVICE ON THE
n. n. MAIN LINE TRAINS

The Nevada Northern Ely-Cobre
passenger train has long enjoyed the
distinction of being up-to-date in its
appointments and comforts, and COM
mencing today patrons can enjoy the
conveniences of a buffet service on
the observation parlor car .'Vobre. >
This makes 1t possible for outgoing
travellers from Ely, to have break

taking the train at Cobre or Shafter
can procure a satisfying lunch during
the run down the long valley.

ANNE II. MARTIN RESULTS IN
CONCERTED ACTION FOR
EQUAL FRANCHISE.

The White Pine branch of the Ne
yada Equal Suffrage association was
organized in Ely, Friday afternoon.
The place of organization was st.
Lawrence hall. where there was
representative attendance of the
ladies and gentlemen, interested in
the cause, and who intend to make
the question an issue in the coming
campaign. The following officers
were elected:
Mrs. d. C. Mcdonald, president:
Mrs. I. C. C. Whitmore, vice presi-
dent; Miss F. d. Parker, correspond

Coleman, Mrs. L. R. Zadow, Mrs. ].
Callahan, committee on constitution
and by laws.
The organization of the White
Pine county branch, is the outcome
of the visit to Ely, of Miss Anne H.
Martin. of Reno, who arrived We'd
nesday.
Miss Martin is president of the Me-
vada Equal Franchise Assn and is
on her way to her home in Reno,
from trip east, where she attended
the suffragist national convention in
New York City, and was one of the
national convention delegates to
personally visit President Wilson in
the interest of the cause, with the
view to getting his assistance to bring
about favorable action from con-
gress. She also made several ad-
dresses in several eastern cities, and

following the basket ball game. Miss
Martin gave an address on the equal
franchise movement, introduced by
Judge Ben. w. Coleman to an audi
ence OF about $50 people. What she
said was well said, and thoroughly
enjoyed by those present. Miss Mar
tin has had the experience of travel
and being thoroughly imbued with
her subject. and alive to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to
| further the cause by argument or
act. naturally imparts enthusiasm
and convinces of her sincerity.
Although she effects conspicuous
ness in certain ways. Miss Martin is
nevertheless a very meetable and
charming womanly woman, and al
though she owns up to being very
militant" one does not associate In
her zeal anything that tends to dis
rupt the peace and dignity of the
community.
While in Ely she had occasion to
met number of representative citi-
ems of both sexes, and social Incl
dents of her visit here were pleasant
events on several occasions. She
left yesterday morning for her home
in Reno, and will remain In Nevada
until after the election.
1t will be remembered that two
sessions of the legislature have
passed amendments to the constita-
tion granting suffrage to women, and
the question is to be submitted to the
people of the state for final ratifica-
tion at the election next fall
