THE RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, Our board of directors ON
January 30, 1922, met and tsubiect
to final action Of this chamber as a
whole) approved that certain tenta-
tive memorandum signed by coni-
mittee Of the directors in Salt Like
City relative to n highway between
Ely and Salt Lake City, which action
by our directors I'm approving said
memorandum has now, In compliance
with the requirements of our consti-
tuition by our board of directors been
regularly referred to the chamber as
a whole for action thereon ut this
special meeting called for that pur-
pose; and,
Whereas, Since said approval by
our directors ii clearly appears that
certain parties who in behalf of Salt
Lake City signed the said memoran-
DUN are giving the language thereof
an application and meaning quite in
imicai to the interests of Ely and
Whne Pine county and at variance
with the purpose and intent thereof
as IL is understood by us, and that
the parties referred to seem To be
taking advantage of imperfections
and antiquities which frequently fol-

Resolved, by the Ely Chamber Of
Commerce, That the said memoran-
dunn be disapproved; and, be 1t fur

"ResoIsed, That this chamber ex-
press itself as in full sympathy with
the efforts of the Lincoln Highway
Association to the end of obtaining
the completion mt the earliest prac-
ticable time Of the Lincoln highway
across Utah and Nevada as 1t was
originally definitely and permanently
located; and, be Il further
Resolved, That our secretary be in
structed to send copy Of these reso-
lutions to the chief of the bureau Of

as ghost cities of the west, and that
the only agricultural district touched
by The Lincoln highway is Fallon,
far tn the west of us: that they will
consider the northern road as serv-
ing communities which will endure
as long as the state itself, and that
the proposed roads are built for cen
turtles and not to please passing
fancy
Attorney H. w. Edwards opposed
the motion TO amend. pointing out
to the meeting that IL was not neces-
saiy to make any agreement with
Salt Lake in order to obtain a con-
nectlon with the Victory highway at
Wendover in the event tho Lincoln
highway fails to win its point with
the bureau of roads at Washington,
for this connection can be made al

would doubtless travel along the

sired to travel to Los Angeles, would
leave the Victory highway at Shafter
and follow the Nevada Northern rail-
road down Steptoe valley to Ely. He
said that we had everything TO gain
and nothing to lose by standing by
the Lincoln Highway Association
until that body itself admits defeat.
Attorney b. l.. Quayle was then
recognized by the chair and said that
he regarded il important to correct
some OF the misstatements which had
been made during the discussion, one
of which was the reference to the
claimed distance between Salt Lake
and Ely by way of Wendover and the
Whitehorse pass as against the Lin
coin highway route between those
points. The statement had been
made that the Whitehorse pass route
was twenty-five or thirty miles short
er than the Lincoln highway, while
the fact was that, although no ac-
curate measurements of the White
horse route has been made, no one,
not even the Salt Lake-Wendover
adherents, pretended that 1t was
shorter than $50 miles. which is the
actual distance by the Lincoln high
way, taking the Saltair entrance
into Salt Lake. The second misap-
prehension. said Mr.. Quayle, was
with reference to the scope Of the
recent Reno conference and the point
that no one from Ely or any repre-
sentative of the Lincoln Highway As
sociation attended that conference
The speaker pointed out that that
was family" gathering. as 1t were
that only the Overland trail and the
Victory highway supporters attended
and that In announcing the Reno con.
ference II was plainly intimated that
no outsiders would be welcomed,
Passing to the main subject, Mr.
Quayle then suggested for the con
sideration OF the chamber whether
the stake was worth the effort now

cant given by the community choral
and orchestra of the James M. Town
send branch of the Community Serv-
ice was presented last evening in the
coliseum before an audience of 500
persons, made up of representative
citizens of both races who greeted the
performers with enthusiastic applause

iginated and conducted the affair

the pageant scenes were directed by
Miss Ada Crogman, who came tc
Richmond from the national office OF
Community Service in New York city
for this purpose.
The pageant, presented in five cpl
sodes and nine scenes, epitomized the
growth of the negro race in the United
States from the time when the race
was forcibly brought to the states BY
slave traders to the present in which
they are an integral part of the nation
and an important element in the lat
ter's citizenship.
The episodes were staged against a

taken by Joseph Booths appearing be
fore the curtain preceding the pre-
sentation of each scene to give the ex
planatory comment This comment
was a brief synopsis of the history OF
the race and of high international
value.
One of the most interesting phases
OF the performance was the appear
ance of various notable figures, each
of whom was greeted with warm an
plause and who included Paul Cuffee
by Joshua Brown; Frederick Douglass
by William Harrison; Paul Dunbar by
Cornelius Jackson; Booker Washing
ton by Lewis Scott, Sojourner Truth
by Mrs. Mary Moore; Phyllis Wheat
ley by Miss Helene Perkins; and Ben

under the direction of Burton ]. How
ard, playing with precision and har-
monte effect Mr. Howard, in his vio-
lin solo, an arrangement of the Negro
melody, Nobody Knows the Trouble
I've Seen," displayed his talents as a
musician.
The music was all racial in charac-
ter and the numbers given by the
choral society were especially fine.
The closing number, Listen to the
Lambs, given by the chorus when
the Community Service scene" was
presented, was received by the audi
ence with long continued applause for
the fine ensemble effects, the exquis-
itely sustained melodic tone, and the
precision of attack.
Two other numbers were especially
fine-the vocal trio made up of Mrs.
Carrie Beasley, Alice Crosby and Eva
Saines. in I'm So Glad Trouble Don't
Last Always" and "Steal Away" by
quartette made up Of Everett Goens,
Joshua Brown, Harold Nickens and
Cecil Robinson
One of the features Of the evening
was the impersonation of Abraham
Lincoln by William Furman in the
prelude between episodes two and
three.
The pageant, in five episodes, was
written in its entirety by Mrs. Ethel
Riley Clark, in charge of the Town
send branch. The incidental music
and the the choral numbers were Sc
lected from the writings of foremost
| negro composers.
Mrs. Clark is largely responsible for
the success of the pageant, having
charge of the rehearsals throughout,
and working up all of the details.
She was assisted on the night pre-
vious to the presentation by Miss Ada
Crogman, pageant director and dra-
matte specialist who comes here from
Des Moines. Iowa, at the direction OF
the national headquarters office of
community service at New York City.
Miss Grogman will remain in Rich
mond for few DAYS to aid in the work
of the Townsend branch.
