The result of the conference be-

noon at the Elks hall was the APP
pointment of a committee to CO.
operate with a committee from Ton
opah lodge, B. P. 0. f., which has
been investigating the cost of living,
with the object of agreeing upon
plan by which the installation of
a company commissary may be fore
stalled. How this will be accom-
plished or what may be the nature
of the recommendations cannot be
conjectured since some Of the mer-
chants state they were now doing
business at the very lowest ratio
of profit. In proof of this assertion
the fact was submitted that many
lines of commodities of daily house
hold use are sold in Tonopah for
less than what is paid in larger
places on the coast.
The Elks committee has been in
curing closely into rentals and will
have certain recommendations to
make for the better housing of the
