history. The republican candidate,
who resides at Lund, not only car
ried his home town but likewise all
its people and came out without a
scratch. Every vote cast there was
in his favor and The precinct gave
him SO. Another noticeable feature
is that in all other contests the high
est vote that can be counted for any
candidate is So. This indicates that
one voter failed to express preference
for any of the other candidates but
voted only for the home man. Tam
bIyn ran exceptionally well through
out the district but when all the out
side precincts were accounted for he
lacked just IL votes to put him on
an equal footing with his opponent.
The main question In the contest
seemed to be a demand for repre-
sentation of the outside precincts.
and this naturally threw that entire
strength to Gubler. There has al
ways been considerable sdissatisfac-
ton between residents Of the differ
ent sections over such matters as
road work, and this now rests en-
tirely with a republican board. so
that responsibility Is absolutely fixed.

more than mortal man could hope
for.
Conductor l.. NJ. House perused
the election returns with interest
and care. As anxious ones watched

OORAN DEAD At
RIPE OLD AGE OF u

James Joseph Doran died al mis-
home in Ely last Wednesday. He
was 70 years of age and by his pass
ing away the community loses one
more of its most highly respected
citizens. The remark is generally
heard that just more OF those
grand old-timers has gone 10 his
greater reward.
James ]. Doran was born in Wales
June 26, 1850. When a child two
years of age he came to this country
with his parents and first settled in
wisconsin. There he grew to man
hood and married Susan Davies. The
bride of that happy union is now the
grief-stricken widow of the man
whose memory will ever be cherished.
The deceased chose mining as a
vocation and when the discovery of
the great deposits of ore in this dis
trict in 1906 Attracted attention he
came here. He first engaged as n
miner at the Veteran mine, where he
remained for about two years. Later
he went to McGill, where he had
charge of the water station for the
Nevada Consolidated Copper Com
pany for about five years. His work
in the mines had a damaging effect
upon his lungs, which Is attributed
as the greater cause of death. fIe
had arrived at that ripe old age,
however which only strong men and
fhngn uhn 1.-Two a1oon hno1thfuI liunG
may ever expect to reach. His en-
tire life was characterized by noble
deeds and he was repeatedly referred
to by the legion of friends he enjoyed
as a man among men. He was OF a
kindly disposition. with that strength
golden rule. and 1t nay now well be
said to his memory, which will ever
live. that In life he never knowingly
did a wrong to his fellowman. He
was a true man with a heart of gold,
a faithful husband, a devoted and
loving faher and a sincere friend.
He is survived by his widow and one
son, James j. Doran Jr.. with whom

|. C. C. ALLOWS LOWER RATE
ON ROAD BUILDING MATERIAL

In the shipment of surplus war
materials transferred to them by the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
state highway departments will be
saved. great deal of expense as a
result of a ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission permitting
the shipment of this material as
contractors equipment" thereby
giving it the advantage of low rate.
The railroads previously required
the states to pay less-than1carload
rates on the various items included
in such shipments, even when to-
gether they made up a carload. The
contention of the bureau is that since
the bulk of this material has been
used and none of it is new, and since
it is all intended for use in road con-
struction, it should be given the ad'
vantage of the low rate allowed to

tion, which was opposed by the rail.
