The celebration of the birth of the
new year as established by the Chi
nese calendar was fittingly observed
in Ely by the good citizens of that
old race, commencing last Thursday
night and continuing on into Friday,
which proved to be real old-fash-
ioned Chinese New Years day.
That section of Ely commonly
known as Chinatown was dressed in
gala attire and costly fireworks
played their part in the festivities.
Gee You, who has conducted a gen.
eral store in Ely for a number of
years and who has won the esteem
and respect of all with whom he has
come in contact, was among the most
lavish of the entertainers, having as
his guests many American friends
whom he has won by his integrity and
manly character. Among the dinner
guests were former District Attorney
II. w. Edwards with Mrs. Edwards,
Virginia and Bud" Mr.. and Mrs
George C. Robinson, former Judge
and Mrs. J. M. Collins, Sheriff H c.
Nicholson, Deputy Sheriff Bud Bo-
dell, w. S. Elliott, c. d. Vautrin ard
Martin Nelson. The dinner embraced
about everything that is good to eat
and was prepared in the most deli
cate way known only to the Chinese
method of cooking. The party in
dulged in storytelling and general
merriment until the dawn of the new
year, when the host was toasted and
showered with compliments by his
guests.
All through the night there was a
general display of goodfellowship and
when the gray dawn had cleared away
many INDUCED in that time-honored
custom of setting himself straight in
financial way with his fellowman,
a tradition held sacred by the Chi

point with pride. In referring to the
excellent custom one prominent busi-

actual experience 1t had gone so far
as to make a Christian out of

BONDS OF WHITE PINE
BRING GOOO PREMIUM

White Pine county bonds in The
sum of $4,000 for highway pur.
poses and S125,000 for high school,
purposes were sold to Keeler Bros
of Denver at a meeting held by the
board of county commissioners last
Wednesday
UnGer the terms of the agreement
entered into between the county com.
missioners and the bond buyers the
bonds are to be ready for delivery
April /. They were sold at a premi.
UNI of 5 1926, the offer made for the
two issues being $266,325. The
county has agreed to surrender the
interest on the bonds for the first
quarter, which amounts to $3,975
J. II. Goode, who represented the
Denver firm, agreed to have the bonds
prepared for the signatures of the
county officials, so that when the
amount of the premium is deducted
from the interest for the first quarter
which Is surrendered by the county
the sum realized will be $263,675.
The margin of $3.50 will cover all
cost of engraving and printing the
bonds and for legal services in pre-
pairing them for acceptance. Attor-
ney p. l.. Quayle represented the
purchasers. while the county's legal
rights were cared for by District At
torney Charles A. Walker.
The highway bond issue was au-
thorized by an act of the legislature
in 1919, which provided for an issue
of $3.50. 900, but the law further pro-
yided that the bonds should be re-
tired at the rate of $1,000 each year
This would mean that during the two
years last past $4,000 worth of the
bonds would have been retired, so ii
was held that under the law only
$4,000 worth could now be issued.
White Pine county is now in the
comfortable position of having money
and The fact that the bonds were
eagerly taken up at a premium is a
flattering tribute.
Before the road work was started
in Robinson canyon the county road
fund was somewhat over $1,000. Ii
is estimated that the work now under
way between Lane City and Ruth will
cost the county approximately s15.-
600. the balance being supplied by
the state. This will leave about $685.
009 in the road fund, which added to
the $4,000 from the bond issue
will make st75.000 available for
road work. BY matching the state
and federal money as now allotted to
this county in the sum of s315,O00
the county will have in round lgures
a half-million dollars to spend on
road construction during the present
year
The money realized from the sale
of the high school bonds will be used
to build an addition 10 the present
including a dormitory and
other features. which will make the
institution in this county second to
none.

MRS. ARTHUR KHECHT
DEAD IN Los ANGELES

Mrs. Arthur Knecht died suddenly
at the Clara Barton hospital i'll Las
Angeles early last Sunday morning
and the sad news of her death, which
was conveyed in a telegram from the
grief-stricken husband to Judge c. j.
MCFadden, cast a deep shadow over
the entire community.
Mrs. Knecht had not enjoyed good
health for number of years and
while the fact was known to her inti-
mate friends her condition was not
regarded as serious. When she left
Ely short time ago with her hus-
band il was thought that vacation
on the seacoast would soon restore
her to health, and when the news of
her sudden death reached here II
came as a thunderbolt from a clear
sky, shocking all in this district.
where she was known by all and uni
versally loved
Intermeut took place in Los An

reference to the sad occurrence are
still lacking. This is perhaps due to
the fact that the grief-stricken hus-
band was go overcome as to make II
impossible for him to send any fur

Knecht's wholesale tobacco business
and store in Ely during the propri-
etor's absence. he tells only of Mrs.
Kncht's death and the document
bears the earmarks of heartbroken
man.
Mrs. Knecht was a native of Ne
braska and came to Ely about fifteen
year ago with her husband from
Cripple Creek, Col. where the couple
were united in marriage. hlr
During her long residence in this
district she cndeared herself to all
with whom she came in contact and
her charming personality won for her
an enviable reputation. which will
ever live in the hearts of her unusual
ly large circle of friends. She was one
of the type of women whom to know
Is TO love and admire and her pass
ing to the greater reward creates q
gap like the dropping into oblivion
of a portion of the earth that can
never be replaced.
No word has yet been received
here as to when Mr.. Knecht will re-
turn but his extensive business in
