OF THE BAD LANDS

"Durand OF the Bad Lands at
the Ely threatre is ono of the best
western pictures seen here. and
Dustin Farnum, always a favorite,
has in the role of Dick Durand one
of his great parts. William Fox has
staged the production with excellent
taste and the direction by Richard
Stanton is exceptionally fine.
''Durand of the Bad Lands" is a
real Western story in the sense that
the public understands the word
western. There is all of the dash
and the thrill in it that there was
in the early days of the great West.
The scenes are laid chiefly on the
Mexican border and the action, start
ting with the very first scene. con-
tinues without abatement until. the
end.

iightful home.

PlOCHE-El.Y GAME RESULTS
IN LOSS To HOME TEAM

The Phoebe bali team last Sunday
defeated the Ely boys. who made the
trip to the southern city to meet the
miners on the diamond. According
TO the Phoebe Record, the game, with
a score OF eight 10 seven, was the
most spectacular game ever staged
on the local diamond.
Home runs, three-baggers and
two-baggers. made at the most crit
ical times. caused the tide of for
tune to ebb and flow and gave the
fans a chance to experience all the
thrills OF the game.
Excitement was at Its highest
pitch when Pioohe. with two men
out, turned defeat into victory with
babe Ruth" produced by Carter
Hames. who put the ball over the
fence for a home run.

VOTING PRECINCT
Is DISCONTINUED

At the request of the registered
voters of the Bothwick precinct the
board of county commissioners, as
provided by law. abolished this dis
trict and the names of the electors
were transferred from the registra-
tion books of the Bothwick district
to that of the Third ward In Ely.
II appears that there were only
enough qualified voters to form the
election board in this precinct and
for this reason the precinct was dis
continued. At the last general cleo
tion there was just one voter in the
precinct who was not on the election
board. and he, in order tn be sure
that the inspectors and clerks per-
formed their full duty, wandered
around all day. until just before the
legal time for closing the polls ar
rived. when he appeared to cast his
vote.
Owing TO the number of registered
voters at Ward this year the county
commissioners at the last meeting
of the board established voting
precinct in this silver camp.

TOTAL REGISTRATION N WHITE PINE COUNTY
FOR COMING ELECTIONS IS IN EXCESS OF
FOUR THOUSAND. but FEW INDEPENDENTS

Registration of voters for the
primary election closed last Tues
day with total oil 4,374 for White
Pine county counting those who
voted at the last general election
and those who registered for failure
TO vote at such election and the new
arrivals in the county. This repres-
ents about 1900 in the three pree-
eincts in Ely with about 1890 at
McGill; 400 at Ruth; 800 at East
Ely; $50 at Kimberly and about 964
In the nineteen precincts in the
county.
In some cases the names of quail
fled electors appear on the regisira-
tion books owing TO the fact that the
elector voted at the last general
election, but has subsequently left
the country. These names, accord
ing to the recent election law should
appear on the registration books, un-
less the county clerk has positive
evidence that the elector has left
the county and is not qualified to
vote.
The work of preparing the names
for the registration books is a big
undertaking and from the amount
of printed forms used, 1t would ap-
pear that the printing firms proflted
more than under the old law.
Not only does the name of tie
voter appear on the books but the
detail information requested at the
time OF registration is copied on the
form which Is furnished to each pre-
cinct. This information included
the sex of the voter. the age, height.
political affiliation, when and where
naturalized or where born as the case
may be. the length OF time in the
precinct, ward. school district, state.
county and city with the date OF reg
istration and the place previously
registered. When the names of
voters who cast their ballot at the
last general election is copied from
the last registration books into the
current books. the only true informa-
ton is that of height and place of
birth, as the other facts are two
wears ont of date.
One of the pecularities noticed in
the registration of women voters for
the election of 1920 is the freedom
with which many of the ladies give
their age to the registry officer.
Two years ago many of the ladies
took advantage of the over 21 reply

FIRE ON MURRY STREET
THREATENS NEIGHBORHOOD

Fire started in the north house
of row of frame buildings on up
per Murry street last night and be-
fore an alarm could be turned in
the building was a mass of roaring
flames.
The houses are owned by Al Marsh
and for several months past have
been vacant and the weeds and dry
grass have been allowed to grow
about the premises.
The fire was first discovered about
s:15 last night and by the time the
fire truck reached the scene, the
flames were threatening the entire
neighborhood
Nothing but the expert work of
the fire boys saved the entire row of
houses on the end of the block from
destruction.
rhe firemen of the Ely Volunteer
department, by good head work,
under the direction of Assistant
Chief Bath, applied the water to the
right spot at the right time and saw
ed the adjoining property. The
house where the fire started was
completely gutted.
origin of the fire could not be dis
covered, but it Is believed TO be due
to defective wiring, as the fire ap-
peared to have started from the
point where the wires entered the
house and may have been caused by
the action of the wind, wearing off
the insulation and causing a short
circuit.

BELL. ESCAPES FROM REFORM
SCHOOL AND Is AGAIN FUGITIVE

Jos. W. Bell who was captured
with Leonard Fristoe and tried for
the murder of Arthur st. Clair and
George Requa near Cherry Creek
this spring mas escaped from the re-
form school at Elko where he was
sent after pleading guilty TO the
charge of manslaughter. Fristoc
was convicted of murder In the first
degree and sentenced to term of
life Imprisonment, but Bell his part
ner in the crime. being under the
age of 81 was allowed to plead guilty
to the charge of manslaughter and
sent 10 the reform school at Elko
until he had reached the legal age.
rhe- escape of the boy from the
Elko school now makes him fug-
tive from justice and If captured,
he will likely be brought to Ely
where the sentence of the court for
manslaughter which is still in force
will be pronounced and result in mis-
spending a term in the penitentiary.
1t was only due to the fact that
the father of Bell appeared at the
trial and used his influence for the
sake of the boys relatives that the
young defendant was given a chance
TO mend his ways.

Mr.. BUYER WOULD
LIKE FURTHER WORO
FROM Mr.. GEO. DIXON

A forewarning TO the people
against threatened profiteering with
the increased railway rates as an
excuse, has been issued by George
Dixon. traffic vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad system. Mr.
Dixon gives figures to show that the
rates will amount to only a few mills
on many items and l or 2 cents on
others. in all of which cases the pub
lie supposes they would amount to
dollars. Now If Mr.. Dixon will fol-
low up this information by telling
the people how they can take advant-
age of 1t. the purpose will be served
and the money involved will be
saved.
Under the circumstances il will be
clear that the people have been given
the knowledge without the means to
apply 1t to their advantage. They
are told that the additional cost of
a suit of clothes through the freight
advance is but six mills. Yet grant.
ing that the suit now is offered at
$65.sS, IL under the new rates 1t is
advanced to $75.98, when according
to his idea 1t should he 5000 what
are they going to do about It? The
railroads have no means Of forcing
the dealer to accept the mere one
cent advance which he mentions
six mills being more than half q cent
1t would be considered as a while
cent--nor even OF holding the mer-
chant to q two cent advance at Sss.
Quite palpably there is only one
legal means OF taking advantage of
Mr.. Dixon's information. which is to
refuse to buy But refusing TO buy
would In turn hurt the railways, es
1t would hurt business and whatever
hurts business will hurt traffic. II
traffic Is cut by systematic refusal
on the part of the people, to buy.
the object Of the freight rate In
crease will be defeated result, the
revenue of the railways will suffor
and they will not get the billion and
one half additional revenue for which
the new rates were granted. 1t is
quite true that in the case of the
barrel of, flour which Mr.. Dixon men,
tions, this cannot be done. He SAYS
the increase in freight on the -four
will be but 33 cents and advises the
public to pay no more than that
much additional for 200 pounds Of
flour; but IL ii so happens that the
dealer refuses to accent those fig
ures and will not sell at 33 cents
advance the buyer has to take either
that -four or some other like 1t, for
there is no law to compel the dealer
10 accept the figures named by the
purchaser. The flour must be had.
for the consumer must have bread;
hence IN that case the transportation
lines will get their 33 cents, for this
item is one that cannot be gotten
along without.
If all the freight transportated
were flour. or other essentials. the
case would be simple enough.
The railways would get the
increase sought and the dealer
would charge whatever prices their
business demanded. but there are
so many other items that are not
as essential and can be gotten along
without that IL would appear that
extreme care should be taken by all
concerned. lest the publicity given
to this cause may bring about anoth-
er non-buying movement and do
great harm to traffic In general and
the railways in particular
