Mr.. McChesney's Candidacy.

The announcement by Fl. V.
McChesney, of the Frankfort
bar, of his intention to become a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the lower branch
of the Kentucky Legislature
from the Frankfort district, is an
event of Statew wide Importance,
and may mean that the leaders
of the Democratic party in the
State are to succeed in their
plans of sending to the State
Legislature next year the best
representation in many years.
Mr.. McChesney will, we learn.
probably be nominated without
opposition. and, as the district is
overwhelmingly Democratic. will
certainly be elected. In point of
ability, of character and expert
ence in public affairs he is emin-
emily qualified for this work, and
the fact that he is willing to
make the necessary sacrifices to
do this work is highly encourage
ing.

Revival Closes.

Rev. w. G. Montgomery, pas
tor of the First Christian church,
closed a very successful ten days
revival meeting last night. He
conducted the services without
the aid of an evangelist from
elsewhere and the meetings re-
suited in a general spiritual
awakening of the entire mem
bership of the local congregation
and thirty -eight souls were ad-
ded to the church, many OF
whom came confessing their
Savior. others placing their
membership in the local church.

forceful speaker. sticking to the

The Democratic party is now
in opposition both in the nation
and in the State. To re-establish
itself it is necessary for it to put
forward the best men available.
McChesney's nomination will be
a fine beginning. If twenty
such men are nominated this
year not only will the Democrat
ic candidates carry the State
with ease, but the party may be
assured of such wise handling of
State problems at Frankfort that
will make the election of q Demo-
cratic Governor two years hence
an easy matter. -Louisville Post.

STATE HIGHWAY TAX
TO REMAIN 10 GENTS

A telegram received yesterday by
County Clerk Oldfield from the Me-
vada tax commission conveyed the
information that the rate of tax for
the state highway fund has been re-
tanned at 10 cents. The telegram
reads:
"The attorney-general holds that
the county-state highway rate must
be 10 cents instead of 6 cents. Amend
rate and budget accordingly"
Some time ago the board OF county
commissioners received a notice from
the tax commission that the rate of
10 cents for the state highway fund
had been reduced to cents and re-
quested the board to make the neces-
sary change in the budget for the
year.
The commissioners decided not to
amend the budget but to place the I
cents released from the highway tax
to the tax for general county pur-
poses. This arrangement was made
with the tax commission. but the tel
egram received yesterday by the
county clerk will make 1t necessary
to restore the cents to the state
highway tax.

MAX HERMAN LOSES
ARROWHEAD NOTE SUIT

The suit of Max Herman against
John Engelke, brought to recover
Judgment on a promissory note given
in payment for stock in the Arrow
head Inspiration Mining Company
was decided last Monday in favor of
the defendant, John Engelke.
The trial OF the case was had in
the district court last week prior to
the death of Mr.. Engelke and was
submitted 10 Judge c. j. McFadden
for decision, which was rendered
Monday, giving judgment to the de-
fendant and costs of suit. In rela-
tion to testimony introduced at the
trial by Attorney b. l.. Quayle. en-
order was entered en- the court min
utes to the effect that on the trial
certain evidence was offered by the
plaintiff of an oral understanding or
agreement claimed by him to have
been had with defendant relative to
the delivery of the stock mentioned
in the plesdings and as to the time
for the delivery of the stock. This
was objected to by defendant as in
admissible for the reason that Ii
tended TO add TO and vary the terms
of the written contract. defendants
exhibit A, but the evidence was re-
ceived subject to defendants objec-
tions and to his motion thereafter TO
strike the same out. and ruling was
reserved.
On these OBJ. ections of defendant
and on his motion the court ruled
that the objections should be and
are sustained and the motion to
strike allowed. The contract re.
ferred TO provides specific time for
the delivery of the stock and evidence
OF another and different agreement
at the time is incompetent and mad
missible.
Attorney G. F. Boreman appeared
for the defendant.

NEW HGH-GRADE SILVER DISTRICT
AWAITS DEVELOPMENT BY ELY|TES

Considerable interest is being man
ifested in the silver possibilities OF
Spring valley, on what Is known as
Mccoy creek. about twelve miles
north of the Cleveland ranch.
During the last week John o. Nc
Herman. Doc r. Bailey and Judge d.
c. Mcdonald have visited that terri
tory and have brought in samples OF
ore rich In silver content.
Up to the present time twenty
seven claims have been located. prin-
cipally by People from Ely and vicin-
ity. These claims include the orig
inal locations made in April, 1919,
In the Black Top group of eight
claims located by A. J. Millick, c. f.
Miilick, F. b. Matson and J. o. Nc
Herman. and the Cash Box group of
four claims, located in the latter part
OF 1920 by A. J. Millick. C. e. Millick
ana A. @. Millick
On both OF these groups consider
able development work has been
done and the farther the work pro-
ceeds the brighter are the prospects
for the opening OF territory of great
value. Development at the Black
Top has been done to the extent OF a
thirty-foot shaft and q fifteen-foot
drift. while at the Cash Box the shaft
has been sunk to depth of thirty
feet and there is already a carload OF
ore on the dump ready for shipment.
Ore averaging better than 100
ounces OF silver to the ton has been
taken from these locations, and 1t Ia
believed there Is a large area that
can be developed to produce a graf
flying output OF the white metal.
The silver-bearing ledge is on the
east side of the Schell Creek range
and the outcropping il prominent

Would Double Fare
From Ely to East Ely

Applications from this district to

during these times, and for a variety
OF reasons. Two OF recent date apply
to the American Express Company's
business at McGill and the price OF
jitney transportation between Ely

duction in train service the express
company wishes to discontinue It's
pickup and delivery service at Nc

by the commission within twenty
days from April 80 this reduction OF
service will be authorized for the
sake of economy of operation.
Relative to local jitney fares the

change OF fares from Ely to East Ely
from the present schedule of 25 cents
to a rate of so cents. Unless protests
are filed and the proposed rate sus.
