MERCHANTS HELD A NEE TING
LAST NIGHT.

There was a called meeting of the
merchants association last night pr n
cipally to discuss the telephone ques:
ton, but as the attendance was small
no action was taken. 1t seems there
is dissatisfaction in some quarters
over the agreement restricting MEM
bers Of the association to one tele-
phone when many feel their business
is suffering because they haven't both,
and from reports the agreement is
likely to be broken. II is probable no
action will be taken, however, until
there is a large attendance.

OTHER LATE ACCIDENTS

An automobile frightened horse
driven by an old negro couple, by
the name of Caldwell, late Monday
afternoon in Rowlandtown. Both
were thrown out and the woman Sa-
rah Caldwell was badly injured. A
hole was cut in the back of her head
ana her left nip was badly bruised
The old man was not hurt.
The couple were going from. their

for several hours.
A gentleman from Maxon's Mills,
this county, this morning reported a
somewhat amusing accident there q
day or two ago. 1t appears members
of Mr.. Ed Willett's family had been
to town and seen the automobiles, and
returning home improvised one from
buggy. The shafts were taken off
and 1t was used by the children to
ride down the hill.
1t seemed to make pretty good
auto, and finally Mrs. Willett thought
she would try it herself. She and
five children got into it and started
down the hill. 1t went all right for
. short distance and then became un-
manageable. There was no way TO
guide it, and il crashed into stump
throwing out and painfully injuring
all SIX of the occupants. The chill.
dren's faces were skinned, all Of them

THE LATE RAILROAD NEWS

A defective throttle this morning
caused engine No $50 to run through
the back wall of the local l. Q. round
house. One entire section of the build
ing was knocked out but the wall
crumbled little and the railroad men
are trying to reset it without having
to rebuild.
The engine was coming slowly into
it when the throttle flew open and re-
fused to be closed. The engine took a
quick shoot forward and butted her
nose into the wall, Just under a win
dow. The entire wall between two
windows was knocked out and pre-
sented a most unusual sight. The
damage will amount to considerable
to the building but the engine was not
hurt at all.
"Speck" Kane, formerly of this

general yardmaster, resigned to go

to learn that he will leave His health
had been bad since he came here and
he has just recovered from spell of
fever. He will probably go to vIr-
ginis, his former home.
There will probably be several other
changes made bnt they have not been
officially announced yet. Mr.. Il. v.
Williams is still acting as night yard
master.
Illinois Central officials have been
pushing work ON the Tennessee river
bridge and all material possible to use
has been sent to the bridge and sever.

will be ready for use again in about
eight DAYS.
The Margaret. Dick Clyde and Luis
Warren are all working at Tennessee
river bridge for the l. O. Besides
these three boats there are two float

engines. The /. 9. people stated to-
day that room was lacking and that
boats bumped into each other and
everyone seemed crowded. his is

Little Salmon, Nov. 25th
So much has come to my notice
regarding the unpleasant condition
of the elements in the world outside
that il seems only right and proper
that word should be offered in re-
gard to conditions here. To be sure
we have had some little experience
as to weather, furry of wind or
rain but nothing in any way serious
only the examinations, so to speak,
from our less fortunate neighbors
and the existence of snow, only
tangible when, seen through notch
in the grass covered mountains, the
tall dome of some adjacent peak,
miles away, shows it's glittering sum
NIT against the blue sky. Consider
able rain has fallen, but mild and
warm and more suggestive of spring
time and roses than winter condi-
tons, and today the one before
Thanksgiving, is simply perfect; and
the whole of this valley is bathed in
flood of sunshine, comparable to a
rare day in June, and all things
seem to enjoy 1t. Animal hfe seems
to revel in it and, fully satisfied with
the rich pasture, rests lazily on the
hillsides, the very picture of quiet
contentment and full satisfaction.
Yesterday morning l started out
for walk, my ultimate destination
being Shorts Bar, two miles above
the junction of Little Salmon with
the main river. This called for
walk about mile up the Little Sal
mon TO the old sheep bridge, all
the way along the line of the newly
constructed dume built by the Henri
eta Mining company to bring water

And before many months the pre-

Queer OF the fruits of tree and vine;
and in this land of sunshine these
transitions come quickly. Dreams
of today are realizations of tomor-
row.
A little further on and here is
Haley creek, lively little affiuent
of Little Salmon. 1t was born up
that rugged and seemingly impass-
able gorge only few miles, and its
cradle is among the dark pines and
its blanket the snow that lies in
those SUBMITS long and very deep.
My walk brings me closer yet to the
river, and which 1t seems must soon
be barricaded by the towering cliff of
Salmon point, but soon | come to
the end where the little river shoots
its rapid waters into and across the
more dignifed flow of the gloomy,
solemn old Salmon, that comes roll
ing down between its almost can
yoned walls, dark green and as
suggestive of mysterious things as
the tempted ruins of Karnak or other
silent cities of the desert and the
Nile. And why not? Gigantic as
are the ruined monuments of races
long dust, they are only pigmies
compared to the 'clossal and indies
cribable SUBMITS that are reflected
back from the flow of this mighty
stream, in places as placid and tran
quill as a summer lake and then
broken and dashed to a chaotic,
seethlng mass of foaming rapids.
The flow of the river is nearly
west at this point and the Little Sal
mon comes in almost at right angle
from the south, and at the intersec-
ton the Salmon makes its great turn
to the north, almost the same as the
Snake does before Weiser. But my
object point is up the river and a
turL in the trail brings me under the
shadow of the towering mountains
and shuts out the sunshine, The
mountain sides are covered with
grass, green as spring time; and here
at this turn. where the hills rise al
most vertical, is the scene of trag-
edy of many years ago, so long as to
be forgotten by some, unheard of by
the newer generation.
As told by the only survivor, Mr..
William Short, he and his two com
panions were coming from their dig
gings down to Little Salmon. Ii
was late in the season and sudden
and severe storm had covered the
mountain sides with heavy fall OF
snow. Travelling In single file, but
close together, they approached the
fatal spot, and all sat down for q
moments rest Suddenly a warning
cry came from the man in the rear
and on the instant came the fearful
avalanche, covering Short with the
snow on its margin. The full force
struck the lead man, sweeping him
like a feather two-thirds of the way
across the surging river. Short and
the other man were uninjured, and
rose only to see their unfortunate
companion thrown up above his waist
in the seethiHg mass, whirl rapidly
for an instant and then sink, in the
waters that never, give up their dead.
Well, that 1871 matter of the long
past-many storms and much sun
shine has come since those days, and
this is one of the clear ones. Above
in quiet bend of the river, six
noble swans, regular trumpeters, are
floating gracefully; as l draw nearer,
they flap for short distance on the
