ALI wrong after reading the article
in last weeks Republican" 1t was
headed "Scharman-Temple" which
of course denotes very clearly that it
was a wedding. The ceremony we
were told took place in Boise-the
capital Of Idaho-and that is saying
much, for we are all proud Of the
fact that Boise is "some city" far
ahead of the times in most things,
mainlines for instance, so I'VE do not
doubt for a moment the authenticity
of the story emanating possibly from
that progressive center and pub
lished in the columns of the official
and leading paper of Elmore county.
The ceremony - it states - was
performed by Bishop futile of the
Episcopal Church" We know for
a fact that the Rt. Rev. Daniel Syl-
vester futile, d. D., a number of
years ago pioneer missionary bishop
of this state and later Bishop of
Missouri, passed away in the city of
st. Louis, some two months ago. Gee!
but that must have been spookey
wedding all right, all right!i We
are firmly led to believe that this is
the only case on record-in spite OF
all that Conan Doyle has had to say
of couple being actually married
by a minister returning from the
other world to perform a wedding
ceremony. We didn't know our DR..
Scharman had such a pull or we GER

II Got There

News was received by the local
officers late Saturday night of the
approach from the west of a couple
of cars conveying something stronger
than grape juice. Efforts were
made to stop them for inspection by
placing distractions in the way. A
Ford car and other junk was placed
across the highway running thru
town, but without result-they lit
orally charged the obstruction and
before the officers realized what had
happened they dashed through the
sillage like streak of lightning and
as far as we know are going yet.
Some do say their cargo was destined
for consumption at a convention be-
ing held in Pocatello.

VIII Not Mix

The other day tourist car driven
by a lady drove up to the Ferry
garage to take on gas, but failed to
stop. 1t demolished the gas stand,
which in due course was restored
only to be knocked down again the
following day by a couple of local
speeders who had been mixing their
their drinks. Judge Gump fined the
offenders $25 and costs and ordered
them to make good the damage they
had done to the gas distributor.

Small BIaze

An overheated motor connected
with the ice plant of the Southside
Butcher shop caused fire alarm to
be turned in Sunday afternoon dur
ing a heavy thunder storm. The
fire department was quickly on the
scene and little damage resulted ex-
cept to the motor.

The present period of wet weather
has been playing the mischief with
shearing operations at the various
camps throughout this section.
Whereas it had been planned to have
mad the entire job completed a week
hence, it appears that this will need
to be advanced couple of weeks.
The Blackwood outfit, which had
hoped to well advanced with their
work at Battle creek, had not even
been able to set up yesterday morn
ing. We know also that the recent
storm must have materially impeded
progress at the Evans and Tate cor
rails at Mud Flat.

SUPPLIES MAY
Be BOUGHT UNDER ACT

Acting under a law passed by the
last legislature TIE school boards OF
the second district. as we'll as all
those of the state, are invited by the
saperintandents to purchase supplies
for the year through the department
of education from a San Francisco
firm that has promulgated a price
list Including every item likely to be
needed The Ez~ does not compel
school authorities 20 buy of this
firm, giving them Iae right TO buy
locally or Wherever they care to,
but furnishes the figures as a basis
upon which they may fall back ar
any time and govern their OUTLAWS
thereby.
District Superintendent c.. w.
Smith during the past week has. sent
circulars to all the school authori-
ties of his district, including White
Pine. Eureka and Lander counties
and a portion of Nye, listing the
supplies that may be needed and are
purchaseable, with the agreed maxi
mum cost of each set opposite in tab
ular form. Together with these circu-
lars he sent a self-addressed stamp
ed envelope to be used in commune
catinS with the San Francisco firm
direct.
Frequently schools find need for
items not included in the list, as
covered by the bids that were ac-
cepted. These they will fipd there
or elsewhere, though there is nc
guarantee as to what the prices may
be.
Large schools buy their w sup
plies as a rule, submitting their spe-
cial estimates, without dealing with
the firm arranged with by the legis-
lative act. BY so doing they have
the probable advantage of getting
prices than could be obtained
an annual or biennial estimate
where price fluctuations have to be
allowed for.
The quality of the goods under the
accepted bid arrangement is guaran-
teed. The prices are effective until
July 1. 1924.

COOL SUMMER FAILS
TO RETARD GROWTH

The cool summer mas upset one
theory that has been fastened upon
farmers minds for generations,
namely, that it requires hot wealth
er to make crops grow. The chilli
ness Of the summer has affected some
few things adversely, but among
farm crops they have been far in
the minority. Tomatoes have not
done well in this region this year,
but corn has done as well as usual.
according to reports from the ranch
ers, and in some localities potatoes
have grown remarkably well, matur-
ing to a great average size in spite
of the weather, though taking the
country over that n crop will be
light.
Cabbage, string beans. carrots
beets, onions and the usual list of
edible garden truck has done quite
well as ever.

TAX MAN D|SCARDS
CAR FOR SADDLE MULE

The tax collector of Juab county,
Utah, who never fails to visit the
western end Of the county, on the
Nevada border, has found 1t neces-
sary to forego the use OF his fine
roadster in making his official rounds
IN that part of his riding. He is the
only Juab official acquainted out
there, others OF the reigning dynasty
being of an altruistic bent and re-
posing unusual confidence in the
natural > goody-goodness of their
Snake valley constituents. but the
tax man differs slightly from the
others in that he wants the cash.
So in order to make his calls he has
chartered a saddle mule, calling upon
the ranchers and sheep outfits rang
ing there with the same old reliable
clock-work regularity that his pro-
genitors did before the use of gaso-
line was invented.
The reason this has happened is
he failure of ONE of the other Of
fcials to make visits to the same
| paris, HulSplH tue lOdu lSpdlI We
artment. In fifty years they have
, been there only once and that was
a year ago. That time they told the
tax mans old friends residing there
that they would be back with 4 large
regiment of assistants in a few weeks
and change the aspect so m.uci, that
4 native gone for q week would
not know the country and would
think he vas on the wrong road
when he came back. but they had
business keeping them busy on the
Nephi-Salt Lake paving project. de-
tanning them from their hoped-toT
return. This is why the roadsse.
has to be staked out while the saddl.
mule is in commission to collect tbs
wherewithal to pay for aforesaid paw.
ing project as each section of il is
completed.

RADIO P|ONEER RING
IN EASTERN NEVADA
By w. H. Buntin.

On May 20, 1919, the government
ban on amateur radio was lifted. A
radio receiving outfit was put into
operation at the laboratory OF the
H. B. e. Of E. and Sixth and Camp
ton Streets, Ely. This society, COM
posed of local young men with scien-
tifir interests, had been in readiness
for the occasion since the signing of
the armistice, and, using an indoor
four wire L aerial, six feet in length,
in conjunction with a freak loading
coil and crystalloi detector, all de-
signed and constructed in the shops,
tuned in and copied WDJ, a ship sta
tion (then the steamship Wilhelm
ina) just outside the Golden Gate.
AS far as known this is the first
outside radio received in eastern Ne.
vada, also q long distance record, for
that time, covering approximately
450 miles.
For several months thereafter
weather reports and time signals
were copied nightly, using a higher
outdoor antenna with greater sue
cess The improving results gave
birth to the idea of experimenting
with antenna. During this period as
many as sever types of aerial were
used, ranging in height from twenty
to 436 feet.
About this time the Audion, a fore
runner of the present day
tube, emerged from the experimental
stage and came into more general
use. The organization Immediately
set about constructing tubes, the
first of which was a double flament
auto headlight bulb. Startling re-
suits were obtained with this tube,
During these months a transmitting
set was operated which put Ely into
communication with Ogden, Salt
Lake City and Reno.
On Thanksgiving day, 1920, the
organization moved into its new
building and the first 3emi-commer-
cial station, consisting of a high
power spark transmitter and long
wave receiving panel with five steps
OF application, all locally built, was
put into commission. operating under
a special government license. Ely
was then in established communica-
ton with the metropolitan centers of
the Pacific oas and middle west.
Each night news events of the day
were broadcasted. During the presi-
Dental election of 1920 w~irelessed
returns prior to hose of line trans
mission We're received by the oper-
ating staff of the H. B. E. of E., and
bulletins were posted about the city.
Later experimenting evolved a
carbon arc radiophone transmitter,
capable of working through a radius
OF fifty miles, also several pieces of
apparatus, including an embryo of
the now widely used honeycomb coil
and a partly successful static elimina-
tor.
1t finally became necessary for
various members to migrate to educa-
tional and Industrial centers to
further their work along scientific
lines, but the trail had been blazed
and the way was open for those who
followed with more modern and eff
fcient equipment.

FISH PLANTING NOW
FINISHED FOR YEAR

Fish planting in White Pine coun-
1y streams for this season has been
finished. More than 100000 trout
and steelheads have been planted in
thirty-odd streams during the latter
part OF June and the months of July
end August, closing the years work
in that particular.
Game Warden A. c Powell still
has probably $4,000 of the combined
varieties or hand, which will be kept
in small reservoirs at the White Pine
hatchery to carry on the plan of hav-
ing the spawning process put over
right here and reduce the expense
of sending away for spawn. The
county has objected to the cost of
these outside purchases. which have
kept the hatchery under a self-sus-
tanning Easis financially, BUT in
future years it is planned to make
this up. using of course, the coun-
tvs share of the fishing and hunting
license revenues toward offsetting
the salary of the warden.
The principal varieties of fish at
the hatchery are black spotted,
brook trout. rainbows and steel
heads.

TREASURE HILL LOOKS
FINE SAYS j. S. BAGG

Treasure Hill is looking fine" is
the pist of a statement made to the
White Fine News yesterday by John
Sherman Bagg, the mining man who
has practically all the properties
there under control.
Mr.. Bagg said he would not care
to SO into details at this time, but
admitted that tho snoWings that have
been developed by persevering work
are Of a character to encourage any
person who has had the tenacity to
stay with the old camp and the coun-
try for the many years since Hamil-
ton was net less than second in i'm
portance to any camp in the state
Within recent weeks two parties of
eminent engineers have been enter
tanned there and shown the work
ings by Mr.. Bagg and in a few days a
third n will pay him and his prop
critics q visit.
Mr.. Bagg when asked as to the
probability OF shipping ore from
there within the ensuing weeks re-
piled that he would have something
definite 20 say upon that point after
the visit Of these engineers, but that
while his company was fully financed
and had nothing fer publication. he
lad no objection to others there who
Lave worked diligently under num-
erous obstacles having the benefit of
the activities that are bound to ac-
cruc from the revelations when they
come.
Summed up, his message from
Hamilton, and Treasure Hill iii par
ticular. is that no n has anything
whatever to fear flor it's mining
future and that it's comeback will
not be long or the way.
