rope, and calling to the dog said: Come
along Pop, you onery cuss!'' A bystand
er asked him why he called his Cog Pop.
"For short, answered the boy" "Well,
what's his full manner" "Populist,"
replied the boy. "Why call him Popu-
list" asked the stranger. "Well sir"
the boy said, because he's just like

The Oregon Short Line shops at Salt
Lake and Pocatello are being enlarged.
Why not use the Shoshone shops in
stead? To this day they are the finest,
most substantial in all the old Union
Pacific system, and they are merely
going to ruin, unused. If all the rolling
stock of the Oregon Short Line cannot
be repaired at Shoshone, all of it used
on the Pocatello and Huntington di-
vision and it's branch lines can be, and
at great saving of money.-Wood River
