Remarkably Free from Casualties.


Although Nebraska regiments have
encountered two wrecks but one man
has been seriously injured. This is
considered remarkable when the fact
is taken into consideration that over
1000 men were transported nearly
1900 miles to the concentration camp.
One OF the inspiring sights on the

veteran OF the first Mexican war, plant

Not Construct
NeU Cutoff

Many rumors have been afioat re-
garding a proposed change In the line
of the Nevada Northern railway
which would take the road up along
a little higher ground crossing Step
ote valley and coming directly
through the town of McGill. This
would of course eliminate McGill
Junction as we'll as the necessity of
running local trains around the "Y"
and giving trains a straight course
through the smelter town, Ely and
on to the mines.
A representative of the News called
upon General Manager Cannon to get
authentic information in the matter
and Is informed that while such a
plan had been given consideration,
1t was abandoned after Mr.. Cannon
and his engineers had made a thor
ough examination into the mat
ter and inspection of the proposed
new route, going over the new route
very carefully. 1t was found not to
be feasible and the return would not
be sufficient to warrant the outlay
which would necessarily be entailed !.
1t has, however, been decided by the
management to construct dyke
about one and half miles long and
four and q half feet above the road
bed between the railway tracks and
Lake Lakenan. This will afford
ample protection against the water
and work will be commenced as soon
as weather conditions will permit.

BOX SOCIAL
An ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The senior class of '16 of the
White Pine county high school gave
successful box social Friday even-
ing in the high school gymnasium.
Attractions there were many. The
gym. was skilfully and beautifully
decorated in the senior colors, red
and black. The walls were covered
with college pennants and streamers.
The south end of the gym was the
busy corner. There Wayne Stokes
offered delightful soda pop for sale
to the freshies. Beside this was q
hot dog" booth. Dewey Simon and
Bruce Davis displayed their knowl-
edge of culinary gained in domestic
science by cleverly roasting the hot
dog" grown in Ely, and placing him
between a bun, also an Ely product.
James Hill was in charge of the bas-
kets. His actions as an auctioneer
amused the large crowd with his fun
ny antics while offering the baskets
for sale.
Gordon's orchestra furnished the
music which pleased everyone. The
young people enjoyed dancing until
1880, when all adjourned to the as
sembly room to sample the eats. To
break the monotony of the waltz.
and two step the one step was intro
duced. The seniors wish to say that
they are highly pleased with the way
in which this dance was conducted.
At no time did anyone overstep the
bounds.
The auction was the center at
traction. Many OF the lads had their
baskets picked out when they came
up for sale. But some were mistaken
In their choice. A lively bidding con-
test took place between two seniors
and Mr.. John Ford. Suddenly Mr..
Ford bid the limit and the two Sc
niors left, highly satisfied over their
good work. Harold Jackson was
faithfully performing his duty In
raising the price of the boxes when
the bidding stopped and he was left
alone on the floor with an unknown
box to pay for. Master Command
strolled around the floor rafting two
bones and half in his pocket. The
seniors were wise and his money
went dancing down the chute into the
senior bank when a certain basket
appeared
The splendid music was the very
thing needed to inspire all with the
right feeling. No one could help but
congratulate the seniors upon their
originality, especially as to decora-
tions. All were highly satisfied In
every way. and as they left the school
house everyone was aware that it
took the class of '16 to put things
there in the right style.

BEST EVER IN ELY FOR
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT

The best card that has ever been

take place in Bio hall next Satur-

have no difficulty in making the
weight provided for in the binding
articles of agreement. which call for
149 pounds at IL O'Clock noon on
the day of the contest.
Duffy is a likely looking boy and

be one great contest when he steps

short of doing him justice. II Is rare
to see a man combine all the quail

most enjoyable exhibitions that it is

coolest ring generals in the game.
Clever and fast he can hit from any

Johnson. He fights along the same
lines. The two men are as close to

clever and dangerous at all times. He
never fails to carry the fight to his
man and when the two face each 9TH

world of punishment, yet the fight
may be brought to a close by the
sleep porducer any minute.

 "I am sorry said the President, "that there are any judges in the United Staies who have had to be told that. It is so obvious to me that it seems that the section of the Clayton act was return to the primer of human liberty. But If judges have to have primer opened before them, am willing to open it."
