Ely Merchants Organize

he recent agitation to boycott
the merchants and manufacturers of
Salt Lake, because of their action in
the matter of changing the Lincoln
highway from it's natural course to
a division at Salt Lake, one branch
to GO to the southern part OF Cali
fornia and the other to the northern
part, has resulted in the merchants
of Ely forming an organization to
deal with the situation. The Salt
Lake mercantile men have been CIV
en- a specified time to change their
attitude, and in case they do not
act promptly the Ely merchants will
enforce the boycott. The southern
part of the state is interested in the
action of the Salt Lake men, as the
Midland trail would be endangered
by Salt Lakes action and Goldfeld
and Tonopah cut off from the route
of trans-continental traffic.

EARTH IS WEARING AWAY
Planet May Continue Million years.
But There Is Some Doubt
About 1t.

This earth is not going to last Tor
ever. It may continue for a million
wears. but there is some doubt about
that. It is wearing away. Every cen
fury it is weaker than it was century
before. 1t is natural that it should De
SO. The winds and storms and earth
uuakes and floods are conSplred TO
break up it's crust and reduce its vital
force. A leveling process is going on
constantly and in the far future all
that will be left of US will be hard
ball, like Mercury has become. The
life conditions will constantly become
Trailer, until human life will be forced
off the planet.
It doesn't interest us, Of course, ex-
cept as a speculative question, sug-
costing the fate of animal life and the
destiny of humanity, But the scientists
see the crust of the earth gradually
giving way and making the planet less
and less the abode of human life. Re
Gently in Alaska there was an uplift
of the earth's crust fully forty feet,
which indicated a sinking elsewhere,
probably in the ocean, of an equal
amount of the earth's crust. Similar
conditions are reported elsewhere, not
so marked, possibly, but numerous
enough to show the tendency of terres-
trial change. In few centuries,
when we return to the earth for q
visit, which we all expect to, we will
not be able to pick out Il spot that is
now crowded with so many fond mem
cries. But, nevertheless, get the fond
memories ready anyhow.

4 RISING YOUNG DEMOCRAT.

Very little has been said, by the
press of the Tenth district, Of one OF
the leading members Of the young ele-
ment of the Democratic party of the
west. man upon whose shoulders was
placed the real hard work of the fight
and who deserves as much credit as
any one man in the election Of Zebu-
lon Weaver to congress. He is none
other than Don Elias, chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee
and manager OF the Democratic cam
paign.
With no little opposition in his own
party, a sit has since been proven, and
with an opposing party candidate wag-
ing one OF the most strenuous cam
paigns ever witnessed in the Tenth dis
trict, MI. ELIAS found himself with a
real mans job.
We have known Mr.. Elias for many
years. He is made OF the real calibre
destined to put him in the front ranks
sof his party in the west. He did splen-
did work in managing the campaign
throughout the district. When it is re-
that several hundred loyal
Democrats and party workers were on
the border during the election and a
few leading Democrats of Buncombs
rather 1ukewarm over the prospects It
is no wonder that Buncombe's vote was
so remarkably close. 1t was great
victory and we believe that congress
will uphold the Democratic majority
in the contest.

however. we have heard considerable

of water both from citizens who know
