A MACHINE THAT rs
ALMOST HUMAN

Charles Osterlund of the Ely Mo-
tor Co. is exhibiting an automatic
light and power tmachine that ap-
pears to do most everything but
think. This little gas engine Is de-
signed to bring every comfort of the
city to rancher and it sure comes up
to the mark. With the power gen.
Grated by the engine it is possible to
furnish the house and barns with
electric lights and at the same time
run the washing machine and heat
the iron. The churn could also be
hooked on and there would be power
enough left to rock the cradle while
the house work Is under way.
A remarkable feature of the ma
chine is that it is fool proof'-it re-
fuses to reduce the juice in the bat
terry less than Is per cent and any
time that this should occur 1t auto
matically starts. up the engine and
supplies the deficiency. II any part
of the simple machinery is out of or
der trouble indicator will imme-
diately inform you of the fact and al
most tell you where to look for trou-
BILE.
The gasoline feed Is the vacuum
system which enables the user to
keep his gas in a can or barrel out
side of the building or buried in the
ground II needed, thus offering the
best protection.
1t is the last word In up-to-date
equipment for the rancher or out-of-
town dweller

Believing that the time has arrived
when the provision in the influenzs
quarantine, which forbids the opening
OF the theatres should be rescinded
the business men of Ely have circu-
lated a petition today asking the
Board of Health to take action tc
bring about this greatly desired re-
lief.
When the order for the closing OF
the picture show houses was ordered
by the county commissioners. the
rroprietors of these places of amuse-
ment obeyed at once without mur-
muir. although there was a good le-
gal reason to argue the question
Ely is an incorporated city and there
Is very good grounds for an argu-
ment as to the authority Of the coun-
ty board to enforce an order of this
nature inside of the city limits. How
ever, the owners of the theatres real
lied the seriousness of the unusual
conditions and complied with the
regulations willingly.
That conditions throughout the
district relative to the recent epidem-
ic do not at this time warrant the
further rigid enforcement Is shown
by the signatures to the petition, and
general opinion favors the strict iso-
lation of the few remaining cases od
flu as sufficient precaution to prevent
a renewal OF the epidemic.
Just at this critical time in the
history Of the city with the saloons
closed, making many dark spots on
the former bright Aultman street, II
is believed by the majority of the
business men that some diversion Ii
necessary to keep up the morale OF
the citizens. Most of the larger cities
have Abandoned the quarantine with
out detrimental results. and ut time
when the percentage of cases In ratio
to population was much greater thar
In the Ely district. The general con.
census of opinion is that no serious
results would follow If churches
lodges, unions, theatres and other as
all OF which occur in large
and we'll ventilated rooms, were per-
mitted to resume.

CHERRY CREEK TO RESUME
MINING ON LARGE SCALE

That the Cherry Creek Mining
company is planning to begin mining
operations on a rather large scale is
evident from the preparations talked
of about town. 1t is understood that
extensive work is contemplated on
the old North Mountain and Mary
Ann mines which were good produc-
ers ten years ago when silver was
selling at about half the present
price. These Gnines have large
body of low grade ore in sight but
owing TO the uncertain price of silver
several years ago the work was aban-
doned.
