for his Alaska trip next summer so
that he can attend the thirty-seventh
annual convention of the National
Editorial Association to be held at
Missoula. Mont, early in July. Tho
president Is a paid-up member OF the
National Editorial Association and is
proud of his affiliation with this or
ganization OF newspaper owners.
Such an address would be of national
interest.
Preparations are made for two spe-
cial de luxe trains TO transport the
editors during their entire tour of
twenty-one days, starting and ending
at Chicago.
Besides visiting Yellowstone and
Glacier national parks, the newspa-
per marty will travel over the vast

ADOPT NEW AGREEMENT
WITH \. \. RA|LROADERs

The old-timers who have looked
over other fields in an earnest search
for better pasture during the period
of depression which has been the
cause Of so much distress throughout
the country, when asked as 10 how
they found conditions during their
travels the reply invariably is to the
effect that the Ely district is the best
place in the United States.
This in itself is somewhat refresh
ing, and while 1t Is difficult to be
cheerful when times are hard and the
world looks dreary, the man with the
smile is always to be found in this
section, and that smile has recently
appeared to be gaining some ground
1t seems to be the general impress
sion that as the country returns to
ncrmalcy. as 1t must do IN time, all
are naturally anxious to be in the
front ranks, and all indications are
that to get a position in the front
ranks the Ely district is the place to
be located when the band starts to
play
One of the most encouraging feat
ures in this connection Is the fact
as men gradually return to their
former posts which have been vacant
during the long period through which
the business world has been at
standstill. they jump into the harness
with a will and spirit of alacrity.
anxious to see the good old wheels
turn round again and for speedy re-
turn of the days when the hum of the
hammer has the sound of the good
old-fashioned melodies which men
with ambition love TO hear
Conservative business men hold to
the belief that as soon as the present
coal strike is settled the next step
will be the opening of the mines and
smelters. and here again in Ely, Ruth
and McGill stand out at the head of
the procession. This would naturally
mean railway activity.
Meetings between the trainmen and
enginemen of the Nevada Northern
Railway Company have been held
during the last week. and following
these conferences the mea engaged in
railway operation have all appeared
with a broad smile and their jovial
spirit has been the cause of much
favorable comment
When asked by representative OF
the News as to what had taken place
at the meeting referred to General
Mdhd6cI VI Il. IilChes sdlu.
Negotiations for new agreements
with employees in both train and en-
gine service have been completed dur
ing the last week The same agree
ments have been in effect for train
and engine service since early in
1919. and in view of this fact the new
agreements show a general upward
adjustment OF wage scales to bring
them to relative position with those
in effect on main line connections
The negotiations proceeded with a
marked spirit of of amity and conf
dence on the part of both the men and
the officials. In thirty-four years
railroad service l have never worked
with finer class of men. and 1t has
been source of great personal pleas
ure to me TO feel that I have sue
eeeded in gaining their confidence and
friendship"

AMERICAN LEGION TO

evidenced by the interest being shown
In The next meeting of Ely Post No. 3,
American Legion, which will be held
in the city hall in Ely Thursday. April
13. at 1880 p. m. sharp.
Every man should be proud of the
distinction which permits him to be
member OF the American Legion,
and the officers of the Ely post are
determined to show those who have
hitherto not taken an active interest
in the legion work that they want
them 1T least by their side. They
want all to stand shoulder to shoul-
der as they did in the trenches in

.ELYANO M'G|Ll HIGHWAY
NOW BEING REGRAOEO

With the first signs of favorable
weather city and county officials have
turned their attention to road work,
and the first job to be given attention
Is that portion OF the Lincoln highway
starting at point on Lyons avenue
in front of the Grier residence and
continuing along that important thor
oughfare past the lumber yard and
thence along Avenue F In East Ely,
and so on to McGill.
The county road machinery is do
ing excellent work and the big cater
pillar has taken the scraper over a
considerable portion of the ground
with telling effect during the last
week
The city officials have announced
their intention of following up this
work on that portion of the road
within the city limits, and further de-
voting attention to Aultman street,
where the scarifier will be brought in
play and the road made one which
can be driven over with some degree
OF pleasure, as are The asphalted and
oiled roads of the larger cities.
The value OF good roads cannot be
over estimated, and while those trav-
cling through this district over the
Lincoln highway have always recon-
mended the route to fellow tourists,
and by the action of the officials this
season this great advertisement will
be given new life and draw a larger
percentage of that desirable trade
than ever in the past.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
TO MEET TOMORROW

There will be a regular monthly
meeting OF the Chamber of Commerce
in the city hall in Ely tomorrow night
at 1880 O'Clock.
According to the notice sent out
by Secretary West to the members of
the chamber several matters of in,-
portance to Ely are to be considered
and a full attendance of the member
ship is urged.
Never in the history of this camp
has there been a better opportunity
to do good on the part of any civic
body than presents just such or
ganiZations as the Chamber of COM
merce today. This Is not one man S
job and 1t is hoped that the meeting
tomorrow night will prove beyond a
doubt that the business men of this
section who are so vitally interested
in Its advancement will not be con-
tent to remain at home and hope the
other fellow will do the work.
The community that shows energy
and activity will be the one 10 reap
the harvest and the full benefit of the
return of prosperity-that welcome
guest which now seems anxious to pay
us visit.
Those who are active and willing
TO do their share to bring about de-
sired results are watching the meet
ing scheduled for tomorrow night
with considerable interest, taking the
view that 1t will determine who tne
live wires are and who can be de-
pended upon to do that work in
which every good citizen should take
pride

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
BETTER MAIL SERVICE

Mail Will be received in this dis
trict five times each week instead OF
three, as at present, in the event the
offer made by General Manager
Hickey OF the Nevada Northern rail-
way is accepted, as by all right II
should be.
The offer made by the manager OF
the railway which connects Ely with
the outside world is indeed generous
one under all the conditions, and II
remains now only for the postal
authorities to accept 1t.
The following letter from General
Manager Hickey makes the matter
clear:
March 29.-Mr. w. II. Taylor
chief clerk. railway mail service, Og-
den. Utah. Dear Sir: Confirming our
conversation date we are desirous OF
securing additional mail service for
the Ely district as soon as practicable
and as IL Is very uncertain when ad-
ditional passenger service will be
warranted between Ely and Cobre
have the following suggestion to
make:
Effective April 16. 1922, we have
freight service leave Cobre at 1905
p. m Sundays and Wednesdays on
which We will operate compartment
mail car. handling all classes of mail
Cincluding parcel post) between
Cobre and Ely.
The freight train will run in op-
posite directions Saturdays and Tues
DAYS, leaving Ely 10 a. m. The run
in each direction usually consumes
about eleven hours.
I'VE do not require freight service
four DAYS per week. but am willing to
establish the service on this basis II
the postoffice department will auth
orize handling the mail as outlined
