miles.
Commissioners ID. C. Mcdonald, w.

Murphy. Fred West, Bernard Dede-

Quayle made valuable suggestions,
and the matter was brought to a eli
max when District Attorney ZURICH
offered the resolution which was
adopted unanimously.
Four representatives of Salt Lake
houses we're present, but while all
were invited by Mayor Witcher to
address the meeting, only one ac-
cepted the invitation, and merely said
that he thought the business men of
Salt Lake did not know the true on
ditions of the feeling. Certainly they
know it now. and 1t will be brought
home to them In such a forcible man.
ner that they will perhaps remember
it. Every travelling man out of Salt
Lake admits that Ely is his best bust
ness point. Then II 1t means a loss
of that business, who is doing the
biuffing? A representative of the
News has interviewed every business
man with whom he has come In con-
tact since the meeting of last Tues
day night, and without a single ex-
eeption they have said they were de-
termined not to place one dollars
worth of business with a Salt Lake
house. On Thursday night one OF

the prominent business men in Ely
refused a Salt Lake man an order,
Notwithstanding that his goods were
satisfactory and he had been carry
ing the trade for months. The plain
reason given was you represent a
Salt Lake house and Salt Lake Is do
ing all IL can to injure our business
Immediately that the matter was
brought to the attention of one OF
the most prominent business men In
the section. who operates both at Me-
Gill and the mines, he wired a Salt
Lake house c~ancelling an order for
approximately $2,500.O0 worth Of
goods. This same gentleman took oc-
casion to tell certain Salt Lake rep
resentatives who happened to be In
town that IL would be useless to visit
him in quest of business IA he had
issued instructions that not a dollar
of his money was TO be used In Salt
Lake to injure the section In which
he was deeply interested. Another
business house said I'VE will cancel
one standing order in Salt Lake i'm
mediately-we buy on an average of
100000 each month there, but in
the future not a dollar OF our money
goes that way" IL you think you
have us by the throat Salt Lake, come
on. We know how dangerous 1t is to
handle a cur dog. because he Is usu-
ally looking for an opportunity to
fasten his teeth In the hands of the
man who feeds him. but In this case
we will be found fully prepared.

through this district. The distance
will be forty miles shorter than the
inferior road over which they would
send travel. They can take some
trade away from our merchants of
course, but they will come out with
the snort end of the purse.
The slightest Investigation into the
matter showed that San Francisco
houses were only too glad to get the
great volume of business here, and
delighted to absorb the difference in
freight. Then what difference does
it make to oar merchants? They
have a better markst-the same price
and about one days difference In
transportation. Our merchants are
standing together i'll this matter for
their own protection against a COM
mon enemy, and in this they have
the hearty support Of every consumer
in the district. II Salt Lake thinks
we are bluffing, time will tell. When
they are entirely shut off from bust
ness in this section their own books
will give them a convincing argu-
rlent.
In calling the meeting to order on
Tuesday night Mayor Witcher stated
its purpose and said he was aston
ished when the matter was brought
to his attention. He said he had
thought Salt Lake was our friend.
He referred to its attitude as hos
tile and said that in the past he had
either directly II indirectly placed
several thousand dollars worth Of
business In Salt Lake which he could
just as we'll, and In future would.

FIREMEN's DANCE BIG SUCCESS.

The sixth annual ball of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
~Enginemen given at the East Ely au-
ditorium last night under the auspices
of Copper Queen Lodge No. 1893, was
n of the most enjoyable and largely
attended affairs ever given in this
district. The large auditorium was
beautifully decorated for the occasion
and IN of the novel features was
the great engine No. 799, which to
the uninitiated seemed to be coming
in all her glory under full Roadway
from the rear of the stage. While
the merry dancers were enjoying the
regular numbers on the program the
great engine carried her green lights
signifying that something was fol-
lowing. When an extra attracted at
tention white lights were in evidence
as an appropriate signal. The I'M
usually large crowd danced to the
excellent music Of Hamilton's or
chestra until the small hours of the
morning. Much credit for the great
success is due to the committee In
charge, composed of the following
members of the popular organization:

PTTTMAN'S LAND BILL
PASSES THE SENATE

Senator Pittman's bill granting
seven million acres to Nevada fol
the benefit of public schools and uni
versity, passed the senate Tuesday
after q bitter intermittent fight oil
several days.
The debate became general and in
volved the whole subject of western
land legislation. Senator Smoot OF
Utah was most persistent in his OPP
position, ~contending that the grant
was too large, the minimum price too
email and the conditions of the bill
TOO liberal; that Nevada was being
more generously treated than the
other states. Senator Poindexter
urged an amendment cutting the
grant down to three million acres.
The amendment was lost. Poindex-
ter then offered an amendment re-
ducing the grant to four million acres
and this amendment was lost. Sem
ator Lafollette urged most intensely
his amendment to prohibit sale by
state of any of the land for twenty
five years. This amendment was lost
after an impassioned attack by Sem
ator Pittman and a convincing argu-
ment by Senator Newlands. Senator
I%.afollette then offered an amend
ment fixing the minimum price at
SO per acre. Senator Pittman an
swered this by calling attention to a
provision for appraisementsby a state
board and urged that the people of
the state knew more of the statute
of the land than the senator from
Wisconsin or Utah and that no one
dare question their integrity. The
amendment was lost.
The sincerity of Senator Smoot was
attacked by Senator Pittman by read
ing a bill introduced by the senator
from Utah granting land to Utah
which contained all the provisions of
the Pittman bill to which Senator
Smoot objected without containing
any of the safeguards.

Of health, DR.. Hendricks of the state

federal authorities will make a de-
termined effort to stamp out the dis
ease in this state, and in this they
will be heartily supported. The task
is a gigantic ont and will require a
large expenditure of money, but 1T is
hoped that by the prompt action on
the part of our officials the disease
will gain but little headway as COM
pared with other sections of the
country where when 1t was allowed
to get a hold not only fabulous sums
of money were required but most i'm
portant, many human lives were en-
dangered. The government now has

which is available at this time and

government officials agree to supply
all amount equal to that raised in the

be asked to subscribe. II is esti-
mated that from the various counties

LAST INDIAN SLAVE DEAD
soh'ckuiash Pete Had Lived for Many
Years Among White People In
state Of Washington.

At Hoquiam, Wash. Schickulash
Pete. believed to be the oldest man In
the Northwest and the last of tho
Grays Harbor Indian slaves, has just
died at the age OF one hundred and ten
years. =
Another of the slaves, John Kettle.
died recently at the age OF one hun-
dred and FIVE. and with the passing of
Pete they have all now gone to the
happy hunting grounds, the New York
Sun states.
The old Indian. better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than thirty years he had
lived in the Humptulips valley, was q
:sident of Grays Harbor for rs years.
Or since 1870, when he came with .
var party of Indians from the Colum-
Ola river to attack the harbor Indians.
The invaders, a large band, came
INTO the harhor in canoes and landed
IL James Rock, about six miles west
Of Hoquiam. There they camped for
the night, pulling their canoes high
up on the beach to be out of reach of
che tide. =
During the night the Indians of the
harbor attacked the invaders and the
last big Indian battle of the Grays
Harbor district was fought there.
Most Of the invaders were either
killed or captured, only few escap-
ing. The captives were made prison
ers, and among their number were the
two Indians known after the white
men came as Humptulips Pete and
John Kettle.
Both were freed by the Governor
stevens treaty with the Grays Harbor
Indians

Combinations of two colors and two
materials In frocks and suits have es-
tablished themselves as an accepted
style feature Of the new season, and
now all sorts OF dress accessories
show the influence of the same idea.
In neckwear and footwear it is con-
spicuous. Among the new collars
there are pretty cape-collars made OF
white and colored organdie (often with
cuffs to match, and collars of white
organdie finished with colored bands
The favored combinations are white
with pink. w\ite with tan. and white
with blue.
One of the cape-collars In which
white and light pink are used together
with fine effect is pictured here. A
little cape OF white organdie is finished
about the edge with hemstitching, and
over It a smaller cape in flesh pink is
exactly of the same shape and fin.
ished In the same way. Both are SET
into narrow band of organdie that
turns In about the neck. A row Of
small pearl buttons is set Oh the pink
cape at each side of the front. The
very tiniest OF buttons. by the way.
are among the favorite exquisite fin.
ishings that match up well with or
candle or net or fine lace. The cuffs
are made In the same way as the cape.

come the cape she is unwilling to
