A Calf on the Coweatcher.

TrcsoN. Ariz., Nov. PA freight
train on the Southern Pacific this
afternoon, moving at twenty miles per
hour down grade, ran into n herd OF
cattle, striking yearlng cali. which
jumped at one bound on the pilot of
the locomotive. 1t quietly lay down
and rode for nine miles. As the train
approached Tucson the signal whistle
aroused it, and the cali jumped from
the pilot and scampered across the
range at a rapid speed. This is prob
ably the first instance on record of a
calf stealing Il ride.

Electric Vehicles.

Some Eve years ago Messrs. Aryton

be driven by electricity, but new We
hicle-the electric dog cart Of Mr..
Magnus Volk-seems likely to be
much more suggestive of practically
useful ideas. In the experimental
dog cart one-half horse power mo
tor, weighing 40 pounds, gives speed
of 8 miles an hour on asphalt and
miles on soft macadam. The &C.
cumulators, which might be increased
in other vehicles, furnish current for a
run Of hours.

The Manitoba company's surveyors
never stopped work on account Of the
winter; but kept right along, as if in
the midst Of summer. About two
weeks ago they were camped at the
mouth of kamai creek, on the Clear
water river, and about 40 miles east
of Moscow-which place was their
objective point.
This, taken together with the fact
that all letters of inquiry as to prob
able traffic, ETC., to be obtained by a
railway to Wood River, have quit
con- ing here, would seem to indicate
that the Manitoba management has
no present intention Of building to
Wood River and Southern Idaho.
