the market for swine is considered
steady to strong, there was extreme
weakness and dullness indicated by

Few hogs came forward to the North

trend Of the market is favorable. Tops
are still quoted at $S.25, or the same

Cattle Weakness Extreme.

The local trade is very much am
used at the report that local packers
were willing to pay 1925 for top
grain fed steers-if they were avail
able. This is classed along with the
report that a Portland man was viii
ling to pay IS for a single watermelon
grown in oregon during the month
Of January
The truth Of the matter is the cat
tie market is a mass of weakness.
There is no denying that fact. Ex-
treme top available for grass steers
at this time is $3.50, and it takes ex-
ceptional quality to bring above $40
7.25. There are no grain fed steers
available at this time Of the season,
and killers know it quite well.

RECEIVERS APPOINTED
FOR MINING COMPANY

On Wednesday last in the district
court. Judge McFadden granted the
application for a temporary receiver
for the Hamilton Power, Mining and
Transportation company, and named
ID. b. Bailey as receiver. The appli-
cation was made by William Har-
wood. C. E. Harwood. William
Phillips and Charles Farr, all OF
whom we're represented by Counselor
G. Eddy 1t is alleged In the COM
plaint that the corporation is insolv-
ent. or in grave danger of becoming
insolvent. and according to the tes-
timony given upon the hearing 1t ap-
pears that there is dispute over the
title to the mining ground near Ham,
ilton. and in which the corporation
claims to own one half interest.
The principal reason for the appoint
ment of a receiver was said to be the
fact that the annual assessment work
for this year has not been done on
the claims. and unless this work Is
started before twelve o'clock tonight
the claims will be subject to reloca-
tion. Judge MeFadden made 1t
clear that in such matters the court
was not engaging in the mining bus
mess. but said that the interests OF
the stockholders should be protected
He therefore ordered that the receiy-
er do only the necessary assessment
work to preserve the interests OF the
stockholders in the corporation, and
no more until certain suits now filed
affecting the title to the ground,c could
be presented to the court and dispos-
ed of, which he directed that the var
ious attorneys do with all possible
dispatch, stating that he would not

OSCEOLA MEN HAVE THRILLING
EXPERIENCE IN RAGING STORM

George Doyle and John Tfllford
experienced real blizzard and some
of the hardships of the desert last
Sunday while on their way from Ely
to Osceola to spend the Christmas
holidays with their families. The
two men started In a Ford car about
noon on Sunday and just before the
heavy storm. They had no difficulty
to speak of until they crossed the
summit and were on the edge of
Spring Valley where they encounter
ed snow drifts of no mean order
After lifting the car out of several
bad places, they we're finally obliged
to abandon 1t and started on foot for
the Goody ranch which Is situated
about four miles out from Osecola.
They were without food and became
so weakened they we're Obliged to lay
down in the snow several times be-
fore they completed their hazardous
journey. Arriving at the ranch and
getting breakfast early Christmas
morning, they sat by the fire unti1
their clothing was sufficiently thaw-
ed out to permit them to continue to
their respective homes.

The residence in East Ely occupied
by J. w Blackwood was somewhat
damaged by fire that broke out about
eight O'Clock Friday morning. The
flames started in the upper portion
OF the building and broke thru the
roof. Volunteer fire fighters at
tracted by the heavy smoke pouring
from the top of the house fastened
to the scene, and stream from
garden hose was used with good ef-
feet until further assistance arrived.

ed hose reel to the fire. and tele-
phone alarm to Ely brought the Ely
departments auto combination truck
when a chemical stream was brought
to bear. Owing to the prompt work
all around the building was not much
damaged. The fire is said to have
started from an overheated stove.

NEW COUNTY OFFICIALS
Will TAKE OATH FRIDAY
HY THE FORTUNES OF POLITICS
SEVERAL CHANGES WILL TAKE
PLACE AT COUNTY CAPITAL
WITH THE ADVENT OF THE
NEW YEAR

There will be a number of changes
In the big county building next Fri
day, when the newly elected officers
will assume their duties. The board
of county commissioners will first
meet and organize. In this body
there will be but one change when
John H. Gallagher will succeed D.
c. Mcdonald as commissioners for the
two year term. The bonds of the
new officials will then be approved
In order that they may enter upon
their respective duties. When David
Mclean actually assumes charge as
sheriff. he will name as undersheriff
Van Newman; deputy sheriff, Alex.
Baird; and jailor, John Berry. Geo.
Newman and Charles Holmes VIII re-
main as part of the sheriffs force
al McGill as usual. Dave is not only
veteran at the game himself, but
his new appointees are men of expe-
rience and high standing. Deputy
Baird was once sheriff of this coun-
ty and later city marshal, while John
Berry was night marshal of the city
of Ely under the administration of
Mayor Parker
George A. Whiteley will be sworn
in as the new district attorney and
will name as his stenographer. Miss
Louise Linsley. This office is like
wise certain to be in safe hands. Mr..
Whiteley has proven himself man
of sterling worth and signal ability
in his profession, while Miss Linsley
is one of the most competent that
can be found in her profession
John o. McKernan. who win be
the new recorder and auditor has
announced that he will name George
Baird as deputy and Dorothy Neb-
ergall as stenographer and typist
This will make an efficient combina-
ton. as not only the chief but his
selected assistants are highly capable
and painstaking
Assessor J F. Miles will be assist
ed by d. r Bailey during the time
that the work can be handled by the
two men Mr.. Miles has hereto
fore proven his worth as an assessor
and there doubtless will not be q
better conducted office in the state
than this will be as II was under the
former administration of Assessor
Miles.
There will be no changes In the
offices of the county clerk and coun-
ty assessors, which is assurance that
the same same high standard on
which these two important offices
have been conducted in the past will
be continued.
JIM. Collins will succeed H. w
Edwards as Judge of the lower court,
and Judge Edwards who has filled
that position with universal satisfacr
tion, will retire to the private prac-
tice of the law.

7 TEACTIER's EXAMINATIONS
WE'RE HELD YESTERDAY

The teachers examinations which
were being held in Ely yesterday
We're taken by the Misses o'Brien,
Elwell, Dixon, Simpson. Heckethorn,
McCanse and Cushman The exam
nations were conducted by Deputy
superintendent of Public instruction
j. w. Comerford, assisted by Miss
Blanche Delaney
A thrilling story is told of the ex-
perience of Misses Simpson, Cornell,
Heckethorn and Elwell, who came in
from Garrison, Utah during the week
some to take the examinations and
others TO spend a holiday. Leaving
Garrison on Christmas morning they
were two days and one night on the
road, arriving in Ely late on We'd
nesday morning. Starting by auto,
they encountered snow on an aver
age of three feet deep and in some
places much deeper. BY the aid of
horses the auto finally reached Osce-
ola. and from the summit the trip
was made by sleigh. Many of the
young teachers recently arrived in
this district from California, and
while they have been seriously in
convenienced, they claim to have
really enjoyed the experience.

for the half-frozen fire fighters to
seek warmth and respite In their ar
duous work.
Too much credit cannot be given the
members of fire department for their
effective and heroic work. Ely can
boast of one of the best volunteer
fire departments in the country, and
there has not been a single instance
since its organization that 1t has not
been successful in saving adjoining
property by holding the blaze In
check, and in practically every In
stance IL has allowed little or no
damage to occur after blaze had
been discovered.

There is nothing ala rming or un-
usual about the situation. The storm
hit Ely little hard, but not SO hard
as other sections. The situation is
very serious all over the western
states and this section is fortunate in
not being hurt more than 1t is. Cars
used in the beet sugar business are
being released. which will be of great
help. There was a general car
shortage throughout the west as we'll
as the east and the big storm Grip
pied the service seriously by reason
of the fact that engines cannot get
through the drifts. etc
Some fuel is being received right
along. Ten. cars were gotten in on
Wenesday, twelve on Friday and
there is still more at Shafter Coal

consumed, but as a matter of pre-
caution and to prevent any possibility

an trains will not be operated until

however, will be kept up, and this is
the important matter for considera-
ton in this district
A number of the employees living in
Ely and East Ely took advantage of
the fact that the main line train was
being operated as usual and rode to
and from their work on it They
we're. of course. obliged to pay their
regular fare, notwithstanding the
fact that they had purchased round
trip tickets for the month of Decem-
ber. which are good only on suburban
trains. This matter, however, will
be satisfactorily adjusted. as there
Is no doubt that the company will
compensate all those who were oblig-
ed to pay more than the usual
amount covered by their tickets
The Ely Light and Power company.
the Ely Water company and other
public service corporations have an
ample supply of coal on hand and
there has been no distress whatever
throughout this district such has
been exerienced in other sections
The local coal dealers have kept
PATRONS fairly we'll supplied and
the dealers in wood have done a
rushing business. There is an abun-
dant supply of wood in this vicinity,
so that none are In danger of actual
suffering
Considerable of the trouble is said
to be due to the fact that for the
past year the big railroad corporations
have been accumulating cars in the
east and cars shipped from the west
have not been returned to the roads
to which they belong. as they should
have been.

B.P. 0. ELKS EXEMPLIFY
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

The best people on earth made
many little tot happy on Christmas
morn, when articles of clothing. food
and other necessities. as well as del
ieaeies of the season and those little
things which make Christmas what
II should he to all mankind, we're dis
tributed to all who could be found
that were in want or not able to pur-
chase such things for themselves.
A goodly sum was raised at the
Charity ball given by the Stray Elks
of the district for the purpose of
raising Christmas fund, and the
vast throng that patronized Ole Ell
liott's bank and thereafter tossed
their money on Rusty Elliotts rou-
lette contributed to most worthy
cause.
Owing to the prosperous condition
of the district. there we're not many
found who were not In a position to
purchase what they wanted for a
merry Christmas. and there is.
therefore. goodly sum left In the
treasury This sum will be used to
keep up the same line OF good work
during the winter months, and 1t is
indeed pleasant to note that the true
spirit of charity exists in this district
and those who are well supplied with
the worlds goods are not unmindful
of their less fortunate brothers.

Wildcats Coming In Close

For the first time in many years,
ranchers have been troubled by
wildcats coming in close to ranch
houses and eating chicken dinners, as
we'll as otherwise disturbing the
usual peace and quiet of the ranch
er's abode. Two of the noxious an
imals have been killed recently at
the Zuberi home near Cherry Creek
On Monday night last a noise was
heard on the porch and an inyestiga-
tion brought out the fact that a
wildcat had come in and engaged in
a fight with the dogs. After a
search with flashlights. the intruder
was finally discovered in the chicken
house. where he had eaten plentiful
ly of ducks and turkeys. Mr.. Zu-
beri quickly disposed of the animal
and is now keeping close watch on
other such visitors
