Washington, Aug 24-The railroad
employees committee of $40 showed
such marked signs of unrest at the
delay in the negotiations between
President Wilson and the railway ex
ecutives that leaders of the men were
alarm ed and openly expressed fears
of their ability to hold them much
longer.
An employees meeting was thrown
into an uproar by speeches of a mi
nority which demanded immediate
action unless the roads accept the
presidents plan. but the leaders sue
ceeded in adjourning it before a vote
could be taken on any OF the various
proposals.
They said afterward that while the
pressure for immediate action came
from a minority it was strong, but
they believed tie majority would be
willing TO give the president little
more time.
Some of the men urged that most
of the delegates go home. leaving the
brotherhood heads with authority to
call strike if the railroads do not
accept the presidents plans

dent just as they have done with US

proposed cutoff 81 miles shorter
than the old route and AZ miles
shorter than the Wendover route.
Remember in this fight we have
the Lincoln Highway association on
our side. 1t is Utah that is fighting a
national road. She thinks she is big
ger than a national affair.
A number of Salt Lake men came
In this week for the purpose of in
curing into the cause of the boycott.
Each was given all the information
he desired and almost without excep-
ton would volunteer that our stand
was right. That We had taken the
only course we could to get the at
tention we needed and that as soon
as Salt Lake realized the injustice
attempted to be perpetrated we
would receive their united support.
They are rapidly finding out that It
IS a greater task than they bargained
for to bluff" the business man in
the sagebrush.
A letter from a prominent citizen
In Tonopah conveys the information
that our n%eighbors to the south are
not only willing, but anxious. to Join
and help us in this fight. This may
be another piece of interesting infor-
nation for Salt Lake merchants.
The jobbers of Utah know more
OF this road question than they own
up to. Let 1t be remembered that
the head of the Mutual Creamery
company, when he was president Of
the Salt Lake Commercial club made
an inspection trip to Ely and soon af-
Ter his return home gave a luncheon
at the club he headed. He then ad-
vocated and voted for the Wendover
route. This was in the fall Of 1914.

MAYOR Witcher's Reply.
Manufacturers Association of Utah,
Salt Lake City, Utah:

Manufacturers Association of Utah,
Salt Lake City, Utah:
Gentlemen beg to acknowledge
receipt of your communication of
February 18th in reference to the So
called boycott" against the manu-
~facturers and jobbers of Salt Lake
City by the merchants of Ely.
1t is true that the business men OF
this district, at a meeting held by
them recently, decided that so far as
possible they would withhold their
patronage from the merchants and
5obbers of Salt Lake City until they
should cease their opposition against
the interests of Ely by openly oppos-
ing the Lincoln Highway route
through Ely.
Ely was n CT the first cities to
grasp the possibilities OF the Lincoln
Highway and from its inception, has
aided 1t in every way possible by the
personal efforts of its citizens and the
expenditure of large sums of money
on 1t, estimated at this time to be
some twenty thousand dollars on that
part of 1t going through this immedi-
ate district.
The Lincoln highway has been def
nitely established now for m
thing like two years and we have
been promised large appropriations
from the Lincoln highway Association

Report of the Committee on City
Offices


Offices
To the Honorable Foreman and mem
bers of the Grand Jury of White
Pine County, Nevada:
Gentlemen-We, your committee,
appointed to investigate and examine
the different city offices of the city
of Ely. beg leave to report as follows:
The City Clerks records are kept
in a simple and concise form. The
licenses and fines collected each
quarter amount to about $4,000 less
than the actual running expenses of
the city. The revenue from taxes is
approximately 10000 each year.
There is $4,991.O4 due the city from
the 1915 tax roll, payable in June of
this year.
The City Treasureris records are
kept in a very orderly manner and
balance with the records kept by the
City Marshal and City Police Judge
as to all moneys turned over to the
treasurer. There was $1,347.97 In
the city treasury on February 1st,
1915.
In the City Judges office practical
ly all business is transacted from
fines imposed on women in the re-
stricted district. His records are
kept in a very ~businesslike manner.
We find, however, that in this dis
trict, and in the town generally there
are a number. of undesirable charac.
tiers who infest the restricted district
and believe this condition could b,
improved If the Marshal would ares
and cause them to be vigorousl,
prosecuted. We recommend that h,
pursue this course and rid the towI
of this element as much as possible

building is in fairly good condition
though there is some complaint of Its
being cold In bad weather, but the
funds necessary for improvements are
lacking.
McGiH School Building
We have examined the McGill dis
trict school, and find everything in
first class condition. The building Is
equipped with fire escapes, and has
one exit, which is sufficient, as fire
drills are held ace a week, and it Is
possible to remove all pupils from
the building in n minute and ten
seconds without any confusion. San
itary conditions are good as we'll as
heat, light and ventilation.
East Ely School Building
We have examined the East Ely
school and find everything in first
class condition. AS the building is
one story there are no fire escapes
and no need Of them. as the building
has two exits, one in front and one
in the rear. The ventilation, light
and heating are good, and the sani-
tary conditions are excellent.
County Court House and Jail
We have examined the county court
house and Jail and find them in good
condition, with the exception of a few
minor repairs which are necessary
and which the county commissioners
now have under adyisement.
Respectfully submitted,

a severe attack OF pneumonia on Fri
day morning last and his condition
became so serious that 1t was found
necessary to remove him to the coun-
ty hospital where he is now being
cared for. Mr.. Reilly has been In
Ely for the past few days after fin
ishing work at the Baline mine in
which he is interested. AS the News
goes TO press his condition Is report
ed to be much improved. although
the real crisis has not yet been
reached. Mrs. Reilly, who has been
visiting at the Molleson ranch in
Stcptoe Valley. arrived in Ely last
night &c be with her husband during
his illncss.

all the consideration she gets from
the commissioners. and respectfully
recommend that she is entitled tt
to more salary than she is receiv-
ing. as she is decidedly more than a
matron. She is in reality manager
of the hospital and county poor
house. Her records show that the
hospital expense Is away below what
II formerly cost to operate the insti-
tuition.
In conclusion we should advise the
commissioners to insist upon all in
mates obeying the rules, instead of
trying to arrange other quarters for
indigents who are dissatisfied with
their present location.

beg to report our findings after inves'
tigation of certain county onices al
follows:
sherif's Office
Upon careful examination OF the
accounts in the office we find 1t In q
very satisfactory condition and ear
nestly believe that all business has
been dispatched in a very satisfactory
manner. All licenses have been col
lected except the dance hall licenses.
District Attorneys Office
Upon careful examination of the
District Attorneys office we find
same in a very satisfactory condition
and that all business In this office
has been dispatched in a common
sense, efficient and proper manner.
Justice of the Peace
Upon careful investigation we find
that all duties in this office heve been
dispatched in a very efficient man
ner; that all fines have been paid in
full except a fine imposed by the pre-
vious administration upon n Wal
lace Mcdowell for assault and bat
terry, October 2, 1914, in the sum of
$1,000. We recommend that collec-
ton of this fine be enforced. The
Justice of the Peace is entitled to
commentator for the exercise of
good Judgment in handling cases,
and especially in the matter of in
quests where he has effected a great
to the county.

for the Improvement of the road h.
tween Salt Lake City and Ely. es-
pecially that portion of it which
crosses the old lake bed In Utah. I'm,
these appropriations are either do
layed or held up on account of tho
attitude of Salt Lake City In favorinv
the Wendover route as against the
Ely route. The automobile trave,
which passes ove the highway in
in itself a big item to a place of this
size.
When 1t is considered that thu
Lincoln Highway Association Ia at
tempting to lay out a road which will
be adopted as a nationalmilitary high
way, we feel that We would be SIM
ply cutting our own throat IL wa
should acquiesce in any attempt to
divert this source Of future revenue
from our own channels.
The hostility of Salt Lake City
toward the Salt Lake-Ely portion Of
the highway has been plainly evil
: denced by the attitude Of the Com
mercial club, as well as by the edi-
torial ~utterances of the Tribune and
Telegram, which have openly and
st%renuously advocated the establish
ment of the Wendover route to the
entire exclusion OF the Ely route.
In view of the fact that the present
Lincoln Highway passes through Salt
Lake City, the people of Ely are at
a loss to understand Salt Lake city's
advocacy of the Wendover route as
against the Ely route. especially as
Ely is conceded to have been In the
past Salt Lake City's best commercial
customer in eastern Nevada, practic-
ally ALL of its business having been
with that city.
A possible explanation of Salt
Lake City's attitude may lie in the
fact that some of Its citizens may
have a personal interest in develop
ing private enterprises along or de-
pendent upon the Wendover route.
IL diftaio thht Ati ttOlOit lHt tHtlI0
question of automobile routing into
and out of Salt Lake City has been
given no attention by the large bust
ness interests of Salt Lake City. but
the details of II have been left to a
few, who have had excellent oppor-
tunity TO further personal interests,
and the jobbers of Salt Lake City
have given support to the Wendover
route without inquiring into the mer-
its of the subject.
Now, VIC believe, as you say, that
the people of Ely are a big. broad
minded, generous-hearted people,"
and to sustain this reputation we pro-
! pose to meet you In this entire mat
ter In a spirit of absolute fairness.
and to that end we will, at any time
you will call a full meeting Of your
organization. send a delegation of our
citizens to be present thereat, who
will lay the subject most carefully be-
. fore you, and with a full expectation
that they will convince you of the
fairness and honesty of our conten-
tons.
If you will advise us of the date
: OF this meeting, we will see that our
representatives are on hand.
Awaiting your further communica-
I tions and with kindest regards. I am,
: Very truly yours,

| Manufacturers Letter to mayor
Witcher.
| Hon. A. B. Witcher, Mayor OF ELY
Nevada:
Dear Mr.. Witcher-The Manufac'
turers' Association of Utah, whicf
represents the manufacturing inter
ests of this state, has received infor'
nation that the merchants OF Ely
New. have for some reason declared
a boycott against the manufacturer;
and jobbers of Salt Lake City. We
are at a loss to understand why suef
action should have been taken, If Il
has been taken, and trust what ha!
come to us may prove, upon investi
cation, to be only an unfounded ru'
NOR.
The business relations between thii
part of the state and Ely have beef
very pleasant in the past and oul
manufacturers and jobbers feel tina
the service which they have rendered
has been appreciated by the Ely mer
chants. Speaking from the stand
point especially of the m%anufactur
ers, we know that they have endeav
cred to furnish Ely al all times witt
high grade goods at prices as low o.
lower than they could be purchased
elsewhere. We have also been sue
eessful in securing excellent traffic
arrangements between Utah common
points and your city by securing
through merchandise cars.
1t is hard for us to believe, there
fore, that a boycott has been declar
ed; and especially so in view OF the
fact that the people OF Ely as a class
are a big, broad minded, generou.
hearted people; and it seems to u.
that before action of is kind wal
taken they would ord thos'
against whom they ma, We a griev
ance a fair and open LSaring. II
however, our information Is correct
we will appreciate 1t very much
you will state to MS frankly and can
didly Just what grievance you hav'
against our people. SO we as repre-
~ ntatives OF the manufacturing In
terests may take the matter up and
we hope, be able to ecu an adjust
ment that will be satisfactory to tn
Ieople OF Ely.
