ElY-SALT LAKE DIFFICULTIES
REACH AM|CABLE SETTLEMENT
Large Delegation of Representative Utah Business Men Visit
Copper Camp and Trip Is Productive of Satisfactory Results

every one on the Salt Lake commit
tee that by encouraging travel over
this route the automobilist will di-
verge at a point in Colorado and the
nearest he ever will get to Salt Lake
will be a point &c miles away. Fur
ther discussion ON that point was un-
nessary.
Once having agreed upon plans
for the future and courses to be fol-
lowed by both sides, while those
plans were being put on paper, the
visitors were taken in automobiles
to Copper Flat where they were en-
tertained at luncheon by General
Manager Lakenan and Superintend-
ent Vanderhoef of the Nevada Con-
solidated. Returning to Ely some
visited around town while others
took a trip out to see the great smell
ter at McGill. In the evening ar
rangements were hurriedly made for
a banquet at the Steptoe hotel, where
the following menu was served:
Grape Fruit
Chicken Soup
Radishes Olives
Roast Chicken
Mashed Potatoes Asparagus Tips
Fruit Salad
Apple Pie Cheese
Cigars Wine
Covers were laid for fifty and the
dinner which was entirely informal
was a happy incidental feature of the
weeks get together" program. The
progress of the dinner was marked
with general sociability. to which
the fine service and deleetable Wand.
were stimulating features. Mayor
Witcher. as master of ceremonies
occupied the head of the table, but
there was nothing in the way OF
speechmaking, aside from a toast
of good fellowship proposed to the
Salt Lake visitors, and responded tt
by Mr. MeAllister of the Manufac
turers' association. The party enter
ed the dining room about half pas
seven and it was almost nine before
the cigars were passed and adjourn
ment made to the Liberty theater.

ter the building was at once filled
and the agreement as drawn wa!
read. 1t was adopted with great ap
plause. Senator Comins suggested
that the meeting hear from those O
the Salt Lake delegation who's
names were not attached to the in
strument as to their feeling. Thii
called up practically every man WHIT
had come here to settle the difficul
ties. Will Farrell opened the dis
play of fireworks, or what he termed
"just a little chin music with Prince
Albert accompaniment" Mr.. Far
rell Is an excellent speaker and he
was applauded again and again. Fol
lowing came Mr.. Schramm and ther
right down the list.
There was no question as to the
feeling of the Salt Lake men toward
the agreement and this was clearly
shown when one of their number
suggested that his feelings could
best be expressed in a very few
words. which were. put me down fol
a hundred dollars. just to help thu
cause along" This was followed b,
like offers from others in the party
and had the weather permitted, it |!
likely the money would have al
been raised at the meeting and thu
work started before the Salt Lake
men reached their homes again.
G. s. Hoag, B. L Quayle and d.
C. Mcdonald made very clear White
Pine county's feeling toward the
matter and thus terminated in
happy manner a matter which for {
time threatened to make breacl
between two of the live cities of th'
west. and which by reason OF thei
natural ties should and undoubtedl,
