Consolidated Illipah Reports Progress The Consoiidati-r Illipnh oil wi ll is down to a point slightly more than <00 feet and is still sinking steadily in a shale formation. This has been the formation almost from the surface and it Is believed that it will continue for 100 feet or more. If tills proves to be true and then a capping is found and passed through there is a strong possibility of a gush er being liberated, In the opinion of oil men familiar with the structure. The well is located at the apex of tho antlclina and the pressure of the oil, If It is there, should be such as to makke the bringing In of a gusher pos sible. Petroleum Company Is Making Progress Work at the II1 ipati Petroleum Com pany's well Is progressing rapidly. The well is being sunk nt the rale of ten feet per day and is now down to the 500-foot mark. The well is being cased as it goes down and a supply of casing Is now on the ground. The formation is now In dark-colored aand with In dications of oil that break through the water and rises to tho top of the well.

Me says that after Hoveling practically from one end of the globi to the other he linds no place like tills district and now Intends to make big home here. Arrangeme nts are now under way to bring about a match with some good man In Ills class and it Is believed that the pugllstlc funs will soon have an opportunity to see one of tl^e best ex hibitions that can he arranged In the squared circle. April tirsud Jury Dlwkifffl fcy I'ourl judge C. J. McKadden of the district court last Thursday entered un order discharging the panel of grand Jury men who were called last April and upon completion of their labor at that time were excused by Judge McFud den but not discharged. The Judge al that time, in thanking the grand Jury men upon the presentation of their re port, said he felt that they had done their full duty. He expressed every confidence In the men of the pane! and therefore took the mow that It would he better to have them ready for call should occasion demand It. ' LOSS FROM NONADVERTISING AGGREGATES ENORMOUS SUM i i The greatest single lose io the country Is that «>r unadvertired business, says the Fourth Estate.. The cogt of doing business shows that from as high as one-half, in tlie casH of clothing stores, to as low as one-seventieth, in the case of wholesale grocers, as much is spent on advertising as on sales clerks and representatives. Over a billion dollars' worth of advertising was done In this country last year. It is safe to say that ten billion dollars' worth of the time of sulcs people, or town crlerg, or peddlers or agents or salesmen, would not have accomplisned the same results in the matter of conducting the total commerce of the country. For example, think about tli" amount of time and persuasive effort and expenses of agents that would lie necessary to sell ten million safety razors at $.1 apiece, without the aid of advertiging. If for ten vears the people of the United States patronized none bat advertised stores and advertised goods while some inconveniences would be felt in the readjustments, business would have resolved It self into the hands of those mogt competent to conduct it economical ly Only efficient stores would exist, and only c flieient factories would operate. There would be fewer middlemen, better manufacturing and better merchandising conditions. People without -uercantlie ability, now struggling along to main tain establishments of their own, would be employed under abler direction with better earnings for themselves and better service to the public. The economic loss is not through advertising. It is through lack of advertising. REPUBLICANS CARRY NEVADA; HENDERSON AND EVANS QUIT The republican landslide hit Nevada, retiring Senator Henderson and Rep resentative Keans. Practically com plete returns from every county In the state shows the following totals: Harding . 13,360 Cox . 8.464 Oddie . 10,8*6 Henderson . 9.651 Martin .. 4.761 Arentz . 13,137 Kvans . 9,396 Jones . 3,012 Coleman . 12,116 Walsh . 8.90* Talbot . 8.797 Cheney . 8.063 The returns are complete from Ku reka.

The missing precincts prob nbly will not Increase the totat vote more than 500 and could not Influence the result indicated in any of the of I ces except, possiniy. that of university report. Reports received on that office have been quite Incomplete but Talbot seems to have s safe lead over Cheney Chairman Richards of the democratic state central committee :ssued the fol lowing statement: •The people of Ane>i lea have spok-. en and tneir voice has been heard wherever the sun chines. As good Americans we democrats of the coun try accept the flnu' word. We feci the expression of the majority la error but we accept it looking to the future to redeem our poaition. Ail must await govcrnmei't conduct under com plete reactionary control to ascertain the real merit of the victory of Novem ber 2. We democrats resent the ex pression that nation has returned to common sense and discretion, In the face of democratic accomplishments during the first six years of the Wilson administration. However, the decided step taken oy the voter* is an evidence of th- ir desire for a change of pro gram and as a democmt and a real American I hope the decision a proper one and that it will prove to be such. Mi prediction is that before Mr. Hard ing has completed his term the people of America end the world' will have wished that ihe affairs of government had been entrust* d to Governor Cox and a democratic congress. “Th* r*ferrnduin of the league ques tion has been overwhelmingly opposed to world peace and the cause of hu manity as I see It. t still hope that a higher power will bring to the sens ed public opinion the desire to refrain from war and the results ot wars, end that the United Stat-s may ‘see the light’ and assume its humanitarian position amrng the nations of the world where it rightfully belongs. Make our government keep the posi tion It held In the world mind when Governor Coolidge introduced President Wilson in Boston after his return from Paris and acclaimed him to the world as the ‘Second Savior of Mankind,'" Day Train Service Beginning Sunday Tile change In the main line passen ger traltl service from what is now commonly known as the night service to tilt* day service, It lius been unof ficially announced, will take place next Sunday, November It. Slnee the chunge In the service was ordered by the state commission the management of the Nevada Northern has been earnestly endeavoring to make sucli arrangements as will give the people of the district the best pos sible service. This largely depend* on connections which can he made with the Western 1’aeltie at Shatter on the trip to Salt laike and likewise with connections with the Southern Pacific at Cobre on the incoming trip. It Is now said that the train will leave, beginning next Sunday, at 6:20 in the morning and returning will ar rive in Ely at 6:50 in the ufternoor.. This is believed to be the best service that has been rendered In the district for many months and the management is determined to make still further im provement If possible. \ew Owner for llr l.use kerslrr Motion \V. Artnur See. who ims for several months conducted the Motor Shop in Kly. hits taken over the l>e l.uxe ser vice station b> lease from the District Auto Service. Mr, Sec has for some time been searching for larger quarter* in Kly to meet the constantly growing demands of Ills business. He Is re garded as one of the most expert men in the automobile line, and this, com bin'd with hla congenial manner and reputation for fair treatemnt, lias won for him a patronage that he found it Impossible to uccomodute in lii« form er small quarters. The lie Luxe station is one of the Inrgest and most modern In this district and under the direction of Mr. See will doubtless become one of the most popular among automobile owners.

WHITE PINE COUNTY LANDSLIDE; DEMOCRATS IN ALSO RON GLOSS From the Producer to the Consumer John Cord.tno of Steptoe VaUey while In Ely this week was wearing a sweat er that wag much admired, both for appe«.fance and quality. When asked where the sweater was purchased he declared it to be a home-made product. The wool was sheared from his own sheep, carded and spun by hand at his home ranch and hand knit. The wool was selected from black and white fleece and produced a beautiful effect In the completed garment. Headstones for the Departed Candidates Who ordered the headstones is what the members of the board of county commissioners want to know. A postal card received this week and addressed to White Pine County gave notice that a crate of headstones con signed to the county had passed Conn ell Bluffs, Iowa, enroute to Cobrc over the Southern Pacific railroad. Chairman Weber of the county board remarked Saturday when making the official canvas of the ballots that It was bad enough for men to read the details of their burial without having head stones in advance High School Juniors Give Basket Social The junior class of the White Tine county high school entertained with a basket social and dance last Friday evening. The young lady students in a spirit of rivalry produced some wonder ful baskets filled with deliciousness and these were auctioned to the highest masculine bidders. The young gallants were financial plungers when the bas ket believed to belong to their partic ular girl friend was offered and the re sult was the male students contrib uted largely to the junior class funds. Stormy nights have no terrors when youth and pleasure meet and the deep snow of Friday night did not prevent a large attendance of students and teachers, all of whom enjoyed dancing to excellent music until an hour before midnight. "The Silver Horde” at the Ely Two Days They ha«l thrown down the gauntlet to the challenge of the Wall Street Octopus. There were three of them—two men and a woman—strong, masterful, im bued with the raw elemental courage and strength that Is the heritage of those who have lived, loved and fought In the grim, bleak waste* of the Alaskan snow country. Wall Street had vowed to bleak them—to trick them out of u vast fortune that was rightfully theirs. All the cunning nl! the trickery; all the money at Wall Street's command was thrown into one mighty effort to crush the valiant children of the snow. !t wui the Cunning of Wall Ctreet against the Might of the North. And t!\e fight that followed resound ed with tlie clash r.f mighty lists; vi brated with the unlenstn d passions of strong men lighting for fortune and the love of a woman. Fights? Action? Thrills? Well, Rex Reach wrote it and it is one of his most powerful stories. It’s red-blooded, ‘‘He-man,’ two-fisted, stralght-from • the-shoulder romance and you’ll want to see It.
