through the curtains with a drunken
leer. Explanations followed, during
which the Weary Willie was decidedly
tickled TO think that his partner had
been fired from the train and he had
escaped.

ed the Pullman conductor, Cooper.
"Oh. I sneaked of the truck when
heard you a coming" came the an

What ever on earth made you make
that ungodly noise for?" was the next

Willie was quite offended. 81 weren'

train pulled out, Il will see you in Og-

Il will buy you your breakfast"
Sure enough, when the train pulled
into Ogden there stood his tramplets
on the platform with a broad grin diff

He had ridden down on the same
train, and Stewart bought the break

IT BEFORE WINTER.
Road is the Private Enterprise of
One Man and Opens Up a Rich
Country.

Nampa, Ida. May 25.-The work of
extension of the Idaho Northern rail-
way from this place progresses rapid
~. A large force Of men is engaged on
the bridge across the river some thirty
miles from here, and the company an
nounces that before snow flies they
will be running trains a distance OF
fifty miles.
The Idaho Northern is the extension
north OF Nampa of the Boise, Nampa
& Owyhee railway, which runs south
forty miles to Murphy, and is the sup
ply road for the Owyhee mining cOun-
try, and this former road is being
rushed in order that timber may be
reached with the least delay.
There is something out of the ordi-
nary in the building of these lines.
There is not a share of stock on the
market, no mortgage, no bOnds-just
simply the private enterprise of one
OF the men who came to Idaho in 1864
Colonel w. II. Dewey. He has at
one time or another owned practically
every one of the big mines of the Sill
yer City section: he put in the first
wagon roads in that country, and now
he is pushing a railroad.

able to haul mines their timbers at less
/ than half what they now pay, and this

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Mt. Pleasant, May 27.-Local devo-
tees of shooting are arranging to or
ganize a gun club in this city. Already
twelve or fifteen enthusiasts have sig
nified their intention of joining. Birds
and ball traps will be secured immedi-
ately and practice shooting will begin,
and without doubt the club will make
a good record, as there are some crack
shots among the sports here. Andrew
ROsenlund and w. Brown are the lead
ing spirits in the move.
Bicyclists of this city are arranging
to reconstruct the track at the park
and the work will probably be gotten
under way soon. Ephraim wheelmen
have sent up word that they are de-
sirOus of arranging wheel meets dur
ing the summer and some local riders
may go after them. The EDhraim
Decoration day races will probably take
a number of wheelmen down from here.
At Fountain Green a race that has
been arranged for is creating interest.
A local wheelman is to run against a
horse from Fountain Green over the
county road to MOrOni, a distance of
about eight miles, Both the man and
horse have enthusiastic hackers and
betting is running pretty high. The ex-
act date of the race has not yet been
learned.
Baseball is beginning to arouse at
tention again in this city and pros
poets for a team are more favorable
now than they have been at any other
time during the season, A game is
being arranged for Decoration day be-
tween the Queen City team and as
many of the senior team as can be
gotten together. The game will be for
a prize of some kind, probably a. sur
per for the two teams, to be paid for
by the vanquished team.
