Shoshone has added quite few of her
people to the population of Idaho Falls,
lately. The most recent are J. R. King
and Miss Ray Mcintyre.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Egles, of Paw Paw,
Michigan, arrived to-day and will reside
at Toponis. Mrs. Egles is a sister OF
Fred, Frank and Thomas Gooding.
We received nice box Of lettuce, rad
ishes and pieplant, Tuesday, from the
famous Blue Lake Farm. We are now
too full-of garden sass-to express our
thanks.
Wool shipments have hardly begun
from this point, and it will soon be time
for the shipping of lambs to the eastern
markets. The Short Line has lots bust
ness ahead.
Lawrence Russell and Mark Southwick
were fishing below town Monday, when
they discovered wildcat up on the lava,
and upon investigation found two Young
ones, which they captured and brought
to town.
The Gooding wool consignment COM
posed of a special train of twenty cars,
left here Sunday, going via. The Oregon
Short Line, Rio Grande Western, Den
yer and Rio Grande and The Great Rock
Island Route.
The Northern Edition of the Salt Lake
Tribune is just the stuff. It is published
every evening for the benefit of its north
ern subscribers and gives the latest news
of the day. Copies can be procured at
the train each morning.
Mark Southwick has been transferred
from Shoshone to American Falls, where
he will be the agent for the Short Line.
We congratulate him on his promotion,
but regret, as do his many friends in
Shoshone, that he is to leave us,
1t is claimed by authority that the
oyster and the strawberry has each done
its share toward evangelizing the world.
They have built and furnished more
churches, paid the salaries of more
preachers and helped more heathens
than any other two natural agencies in
the world.
Those who wish personal mention
when they have entertained company,
or when absent on a visit, or who have
items OF interest, are always welcome to
send them to the JOURNAL. This inyi-
tation has been frequently published. |
and if such notices do not appear, place |
the blame upon yourselves and not upon |
the publisher.
L. B. Southwick and wife of Pueblo,
Colorado. arrived in Shoshone last week
to visit their son Mark. Mr.. Southwick |
is delighted with the trout fishing here,
and AYERS that he would not have believ
eG that such fsherman's paradise ex-
listed, only by experience. He says that
when he tells Pueblo sportsmen about it
and they doubt his veracitY-trouble
will then begin.
Last Thursday man was brought to
town from Minadoka, with badly cut
head. which he alleges was done by
r railroad brakeman. The brakeman
was arrested, and at his trial was dis
charged. The brakey was assaulted by
the hobo first, and got the worse end of
the fight, and should have been further
punished by having to pay big fine for
not killing the hobo when he had him.
Brakemen have to fight from one to a
iozen hobos from their trains at every
station and every dav and if few were
killed off it might check hobo travel.
Among the railroad commercial agents
n Shoshone this week were-Kent O.
Kyes OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul; L. G. Leonard of the Missouri
Pacific; w. c. Mcbride of the Rio
irande Western; c. L. Darling and
George Hawks, both of the Denver and
RIO Grande. The boys are all rustlers
nd are each keeping a sharp lookout on {
n wool and stock shipments from Sho- I
hone. When they have q moments
spell they usually make raid
n this office, in body, and-they don't
o thing to us. We have bought an
rapid-fre scatter gun SO look
ut for trouble,
