ELY CITIZENS PRESENT
BADGE TO SCRUGHAM

Ely citizens have presented a hand
some thirty-second degree Masonic
badge to Governor James G.. Scrug-
ham as a memento of his making the
journey h;thcr and delivering the
Fourth of July Grafton. Prior to his
coming the general committee, at the
suggestion of Program Committee
Chairman H. w. Edwards and others
caused the setting aside of the sum
of $75 to pay the governors ex-
penses. This he declined to accept,
paying his W transportation and
hotel bill. Then the committee de-
termined to express it's gratitude and
that of the people in another way,
the purchase of the badge beingithe
fruition of the plan. The badge has
a fine diamond setting.
Present at the presentation were
three former Ely mel residing at
Carson. These were Supreme Judge
Ben ". Coleman, Industrial Commits
sion Chairman Dan Sullivan and Rate
Expert j. M. Collins. The presenta-
ton speech was made by Mr.. Collins.
The governor was so completely TAX
en- by surprise that he did not reply
at great length, but expressed his
thanks and his high regard for num-
erous warm friends in Ely. Later
when met by Mr.. Collins he asked
that an expression of his gratitude
be forwarded to Mr.. Edwards in ar
ticular and to everybody in Ely in
general
In a letter to Mr.. Edwards Mr..
Collins says the governor could not
have been more proud if he had been
president of the United States.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by the committee from Gov
trnor Scrugham.

ARTES|AN WELL BONUS
IS HELD IN AbEYANCE

Payment of a bonus for the Strik-
ing of an artesian flow of water vas
one Of the contingencies for which
the county commissioners were Who'll
ly off their guard and u~nprepared,
it so proving at the ~semi-monthly
meeting Wednesday when H.. l.. An
derson put in a claim of $1042 for
sinking his last we'll 1921 feet and
striking the flow. That there is a
statute providing for such payment
at SO a foot after the first 500. feet
was brought to the commissioners
! attention, but until they can get q
better line on where they are at in
the matter they have deferred ac-
ton on the bill.
The contention of the commission
ers is that they loaned the drill to Mr.
Anderson and paid for its removal to
his ranch. If in the end it proves
that they must pay the sum demand
ed they intimated that they would
deduct this transportation charge,
and while it may not be possible at
this stage to make a charge for use
of the plant, it at least will be gone
into and the subject reopened with a
view to making a further reduction
if possible.
The commissioners, in response to
a telegram from Carson, have in
formed the state board of equaliza-
tion that it will not be feasible to
revise the budget for the year in
view of a possible reduction of the
state tax levy through reduced valu-
atoms or otherwise. The county and
city had already forcibly reduced
their budgets. Several months ago
they undertook to make a combined
levy of 1926, but finding that the
law would not permit it, made reduc-
tions to s5 and have attempted to
make up the amounts needed by fer
reting out untaxed property and
raising numerous valuations.
An exhibit at the state fair to be
held at Fallon will be given sub
stantial encouragement by the coun-
ty. A request that this be done was
made verbally to the board by Miss
lie Noir, agricultural extension agent
for women.
Consolidation of the school dis
tricts of State Line and Snake val
ley, as predicted last week, was eff
fected by the commissioners. The
sum of $1100 on hand for the former
district was allocated to the latter, it
being the Baker district and quite
populous.

EASTERN NEVADA WONEN
PUT UP BUT LITTLE FRUIT

Fruit is not put up in this part of
Nevada in anywhere near the guam
tity per capita that it is in a like
settlement in any part of Utah. This
being the Utah fruit eason peddlers
are here in numbers and are max
ing what sales they can, but they
have have found buying lighter TO the
person than in their W country.
Where a housewife here puts up one
crate of fruit a Utah woman pats
up six and buys accordingly.
1t is net that fruit is higher here,
for it is as low in Ely as in any of
the coal and quartz mining camps
of Utah. Ordinary sized crates of
average fruit have been sold in this
district within the past few days at
$3.50, which is the same as they sell
for at Park City or Eureka, or at Cas-
tlegate. Helper, Spring canyon, Price
and other places in the coal fields of
Carbon county.
There is no such thing as first OF
the season high prices for Utah fruit
in the Ely district. Long before it
comes here California fruit arrives
and gets all Of the benefit OF the
initial high prices, so that it is not
a question of :he price. Besides the
quality Of Utah fruit, CT that Of any
mountain country, is far superior to
the coast fruit of California.
It appears to be a mere habit of
eastern Nevada m 1t has gone
the rounds here IN years past that
fruit is charged for at abnormally
high prices and they have argued
themselves and their families into
the notion that they can get along
without it. They do get along with
far less of their own canning and
somewhat less of canned fruits
bought at the stores, but in a years
time they pay out more money one
way or another than il they bought
the fruit fresh on a fair estimate of
their years needs and put it up
themselves.
Women here are Influenced great
ly by the price of sugar and of jars.
1t is their commoncst remark that
they cannot put up fruit because
sugar is so high. They forget that
the canned fruit that they are bound
to buy anyway from the stores also
contains sugar and that it is charged
for at the same rate of increase in
price as if they had bought it them

Why Do We 1--we

Some of the inhabitants OF the re-
mote parts of central China have the
idea that the greater the number OF
religious beliefs they profess the more
certain are their chances in the next
world. Members of the London Mis-
sionary society. who addressed a series
of questions to the w~orking-class popu-
lation in these districts. received many
original opinions as to the purpose of
life. Some described it as ITO enjoy
wealth and happiness, and to make a
living" Many others stated that 1t
was a matter of preparing for the next
world, and to "give glory to ones an
cestors," while one mar declared that
the chief object Of existence was ito
dodge rain"

selves, the difference being that they
do not personally pay the sugar re-
finer for it. But they cannot get away
from paying tribute to the sugar re-
finer, no matter in what tanner they
seek to do so by camoufaging the
transaction. In the certainty of get

But it is a mistaken notion that
the price of sugar makes home put up
fruit higher than the canned fruit
sold at the stores. That notion is SO
absurd that a minutes figuring will
convince anybody of the error and
its absurdity. The way to get around
that is to buy and put up the sol,

The only thing necessary to be done
is to sample and taste the fruit and
exercise the homeliest of common
sense in the selections.
Within the past few years a great
deal has been written and told about
dieting. 1t is conceded everywhere
that children in cities and mining
camps do not have enough milk and
cream. They are not the only ones.
II fruit were not imperative for the
human diet nature would w have
provided it in such p%rodigious guam
titles and the desire for it would not
be so pronounced in the human taste.
If the fruit put up in this vicinity
were all that families use it would
not appear on the tables an average
of once a month. But the empty
ans carted off, especially in the win
ter and early spring, tell a different
story. Fresh fruit purchases are in
pound and not crate lots. In that
way the cost is 4 great deal more
for less fruit. That bought in tins
costs proportionately a great deal
more. The people are paying for a
lot and getting a little. Instead of
something that should appear on
their tables once a month, authori-
ties worthy of the title on matters
of diet will tell you that it should
appear there three times every day
and indeed breakfast menus could
well contain little else.

Cursinu.

The present movement in c0nnec-
ton with prayer book revision In the
Church of England for the removal Of
the i%mprecatory psalms from the serv-
ices of the church is not really any
thing new So long ago rs the Fourth
century st. Paulinus of Nola was
troubled about these psalms. and said
that they must be interpreted allegOr-
ically. Thus in the II hundred and
thirty-seventh he said of the words:
80 daughter of Babylon happy
shall he be that taketh thy little ones
and dasheth them against a stone" he
wrote that by the children Of the
daughter of Babylon the Christian
must understand his sins, which are
to be torn up and dashed against the

CONTINUE WAR ON RATS.
IS PLEA OF CATTLEMEN

Urging It's members to confer with
the senators and representatives of
the coming legislature and point out
to them the advantages of continuing
the state appropriation of $4,000 a
year for two years in order to match
similar amount given by the U. S.
biological survey to rid Arizona of
predatory animals and rodent pests
is the message conveyed in a bulletin
by the Arizona Cattle Growers asso-
citation.
The U. S. biological survey annual
ly appropriates $4,000 for use in Ari-
zona, which is matched by similar
amount given by the state, the bulle-
tin states. The best hunters are en-
ployed to poison and trap predatory
animals, such as lions, wolves and coy
otes. Men are also employed to kill
prairie dogs, gophers, jackrabbits and
rats. The $4,000 appropriation is di-
vided equally between the predatory
animal control and the department in
charge of rodent pests.
More than 10000 predatory animals
have been killed, while stockmen esti-
mate that $4,000 more were poisoned
and never found. Among the animals
put out of existence and classed as
"cow killers" were PIP wolves, 257
mountain lions, SO bears and the bal
ance was made up of coyotes, bobcats,
etc. The association estimates the
saving to the cattlemen of $528,000.
The rodent control department of
the local survey office is estimated to
have saved the cattlemen and farmers
of Arizona more than 100000 during
the year. More than 5000 stockmen
and farmers have been assisted during
the year by the frequent use of poi
soned grain and gas as directed by the
survey bureau, the report claims.
Cochise and Graham counties report
that prairie dogs have been complete
ly exterminated from their respective
vicinities, according to the associa-
tion's report. This. in turn, has re-
claimed more than 100000 acres of
fine grazing and agricultural land, |
the amount of grass on every
acre of grazing land and saving hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth |
Of grass and field crops which were
heretofore lost through the activity of |
5hese pests. The work will be extend
ed to the other counties of the state
f the appropriation is continued, the
report adds.

VALENTINO FACES REAL
BULLS IN THIS PICTURE
Page Three

Real Spanish fighting bulls were
transported from Spain to Hollywood
via Mexico for the sensational bull
ring scenes of Blood and Sand" Ru-
dolph Valentines first Paramount
star picture which will be shown at
the Orpheum today, matinee and
night.
They are said to have differed from
the domestic variety as "Man-o-War"
differs from the humble truck horse.
Running wild from birth on lonely
ranches, shipped in black boxes to
continue their isolation from man
kind, they entered the arena with only
the elemental insincts of wild ami
mails, to kill and destroy any one dar-
ing enough to face them.
And Mr.. Valentino had to get out
in front of these interesting creatures!
Sensational to the limit in this great
Ibanez story of the life and loves of
a young bull-fighter, are those scenes
in which Mr.. Valentino does sword
and cape play before the picked ami
mails of the three leading bull breed
ers of Spain.
"Blood and Sand," a Fred Niblo
production, is a story of a bull-fighter.
Lila Lee and Nita Naldi have the p1in-
cipal feminine roles while others in
the cast include Walter Long, Leo
White, Rose Rosanova, Marie Mars
TIM, George Periolat, Jack Winn, Har-
ry Lamont, Fred Becker, Charles Bel
cher and Gilbert Clayton.

MAN BLOWN FROM
BED BY DYNAMITE BLAST

At 2 o'clock Christmas morning
John Ellis of Chloride was awakened,
or perhaps we should say put to sleep
by stick of dynamite placed near
his bed on the outside of his house.
The shock threw Ellis from his bed
and Knocked him unconscious. He lay
there for several hours and finally
when aroused notified his neighbors.
The reason that no one came to his
aid was that when the sound of the
explosion reached the ears of Chlor-
idel people they thought it was some
one celebrating Christmas eve.

FIGHTS IN THE
OLD ARIZONA DAYS
(Items from the Silver Belt of Sep
tember 18, 1860

(Items from the Silver Belt of Sep
tember 18, 1867
The Prescott Courier in its remin-
iscences of early Arizona needs cor
rection. It says in reference to King
S, Woolsey's expedition in 1864: "The
late Col S. K. Woolsey, at the head
of large party, penetrated the Ver7
de region, Tonto Basin and the White
Mountains, and classified the savages.
In Tonto Basin his party was sur
rounded by large party of Indians,
who sought to capture and kill them
all. A big chief of the Tontos backed
by many braves, entered Woolsey' S
camp and asked for. the chief. Wool
sey was pointed out. to him and inn
mediately ordered to spread blankets
for the chief and his braves to sit
upon. The order was promptly obey
ed. Soon a signal smoke was seen to
go up, and whites knew that it was
time for them to act. Woolsey gave
the signal, and Immediately guns We're
fired with good effect. Several In
dians were killed. Hundreds more ap-
peared, but the whites fought their
way out Of the place"
For the sake Of the truth of history
we will correct the Courier's state
ment, by saying that King S. Wool
sey had no fight with the Indians in
Tonto Basin. He, however, had a
fight with Indians at what is now
known as Bloody Tanks, in Gila coun-
ty, seven miles southwest of Globe.
This fight is now familiarly remem
bered by pioneers of the territory as
the affair resulting from the "Pinola
treaty"
Again we take issue with the Cour-
ier's statement that Woolsey's COM
mand was composed of "a band of
white men," There were 25 white men
and 125 Pima and Maricopa Indians,
the latter being gallantly led by John
Chivarea, war chief Of the Maricopas,
who received thirteen wounds during
the engagement.
The Courier is also mistaken in
saying that "the members of Wool
sey's party fought their way out of
the place where the Indians expected
to murder them" The reverse was the
fact Woolsey's party stood their
ground and maintained it. Woolsey's
casualties We're eight killed, one white.
man and seven Indians, and a few
slightly wounded, while the attacking
party, variously estimated at from
500 to 500, left ga of. their dead on the
field. The result would have been
different had the hostiles been equal
ly, as we'll armed as Woolsey's party.
They were principally armed with
bows and arrows, and few of them
with war clubs, while Woolsey's men
were armed with shot guns, muzzle
loading rifles, and a few old fashion
ed Colts revolvers.
Another statement of the Courier
is that the hostiles finally surrend-
cred to Gen. Crook in 1873, which is
also not true, and detracts from the
credit due Major Brown, who fought
them and forced a surrender on the
occasion referred to, Crook, howev-
er, had something to do with the sur
render, which is exemplified by the.
fable Of La Fontaine Of the fly on
the horses ear.
