COMMITTEE REPORT NOT
BELIEVED REASSUR|nG

If concession or compromise
that may be accepted by the business
people of Ely has been reached by
the Chamber of Commerce commit
tee. which has caused the calling of
the chamber to hear its report next
Tuesday night, IT has not been JUS
tilted by outward signs that would
accompany a victory or by admission
from members who have been nego-
tiating with General Manager G. L..
Hickey upon the subject of better
train service on the Nevada North
ern railway.
The instructions to the committee
covered the subject of daily train
TO and from Cobre and the resump-
tion of shift trains to Ruth and Nc
Gill. Business men who have had oc-
casion to discuss the same topic with
Mr.. Hickey as late as a week since
have been advised by him that shift
trains would not be resumed, hence
ii Is not thought likely that the COM
mittee's report will be favorable
upon that point, which happens to be
the main one affecting Ely business.
In substance 1t is suspected that the
report VIII give an approximate date
for the resumption of the daily Cobre
service but will soft pedai on the
ether, if hot be an exact duplicate
of its several predecessors, which
would take the form of a reiteration
Of the former refusal by Mr.. Hickey.
The nature of the report is being
held a secret. put that has no bearing
one way or the other, as 1t would not
be proper or tactful to publish its
contents until 1t has been delivered
to the chamber

REPORTED SHORTAGE OF

of the week that teams wero on their
way nither from Baker or Garrison
for the purpose of freighting sup
plies out TO the stores of those places
but up to last evening such teams are
not known to have arrived.
II has been n month since the
snow blockade started and II would
be considered surprising IL In that
time the stores of those places should
not run short of scme of the staples
nest commonly in demand. such as
sugar. -four and other items, but no
word other than what would be
founded upon mere conjecture has
come 10 verify such suspicion There
arc two stores at Garrison aud one
at Baker. all of which do a great
deal of business and carry large
stocks OF groceries and other mer-
chandise.
One factor which might operate to
the end OF a depletion of stocks, or
of particular lines. is the fact that
with only letter mail being trans
ported on horseback to those places
people who buy their groceries large
ly by mail order and have them ship
ped in by parcel post would be forced
to buy from the stores until parcel
post deliveries are resumed. To
what extent that may have figured in
possible shortage only the people
there know. more especially the
merchants who handle the frade and
have to do with keeping their stocks
intact in emergencies such as this

come often. are liable 10 occur any

The company Is operating seven
hall mills now and the daily grind
amounts to ahont 1900 tons. within
Two weeks three more Will be started
and the grind will be $500 tons

In addition To this 400 tons of di
rect smelling ore from the Ruth mine
are being treated daily at the smelt-
e. This Is the full capacity of the

To transport the l,50a additional
tons will require a fourth ore train
running regularly. there being three
regular trains now.
An average of thirty tons daily are
being transported from the Boston
and Ely mine and are being snelted

special train had to be run TO trans
port an accumulation OF this ore.
As soon as the weather permits

at freeing himself when locked up
His closest escape was in Scotland,
where the old turnkey of a prison
shut him in cell and chuckled as
he went away. Houdini tried all
his tricks. But ne couldn't get the
door unlocked. After several hours,
he gave up in despair, realizing that
his reputation was due for smash.
Exhausted, he leaned against the
door-and fell out into the corri-
dor.
The canny old turnkey hadn't
locked the cell door at all.
Many Of us, some time or other
IN our careers, have been that close
to failure--to giving up the fight
only to find that the solution Of
our difficulty was simple, once we
found it.
Something more than fondness
for berry pies made Houdini the
Handcuff King, That something
was fate, determination and hard
work. 1t was born in him, the
destiny to make his living by such
theatrical feats as freeing himself
from locks and other bonds, and he
had the grit to overcome all OBJ
stacles.
While other boys were indulging
IN street corner debates, Harry Hon.

fession, that OF picking locks for

The use Of plenty of fertilizer and

Unless the crop is a cash crop,
