the Cool Shadows.

The excursion arranged by the
management of the Pacific & Idaho

pleasure of its employees and the
employees of the Telephone Com

in every respect complete success.

awning shut off the summer sun
shine and toned down the heat to an
ideal temperature, agreeably modl-
fed by gentle west wind The de-
tails of train arrangement and con-
duct were simply perfect in every
way, contributing to the safety and
comfort of the guests of the rail
way company. The train left Weiser
at prompt eight, a. M, the desti
nation being Goodrich creek, SO
miles up the line, and consisted of
two coaches and baggage car drawn
by engine '100", Engineer Buckley
on the foot board. The coaches
were filed to their full capacity by
as genteel and congeniaL party of
excursionists as could be assembled,
and the baggage car had supplies
aboard abundant for all require
ments. 1t Was q basket affair, and
everyone seemed bent on providing
enough and to spare.

panied the excursion are entitled tC
