The Goose Elonks Hioh.

Lexicogi aDhers tell US that the
familiar saying. Everything is love
ly and the goose hangs high is slang
nearing that all is .'hunlky-dory. 81
Nonsense. In its original shape the
phrase was Everything is lovely and
the goose honhs high When wild
geese fly northward at the coming of
spring. if the weather Is fair they
honk high. and if bad. or threatening.
they honk low. CT do not honk at all.
Honk is as good a word as there is
in the language. 1t is meant to be
initiative of the sound emitted by
the goose. Some careless person sub
stituted ''hargs." and we have been
hanging the goose for ages.-New

on the dam was being pushed rap
idly forward and that the contracts
were all being carried out with sat
isfaction and says every thing
looks favorable to having water
on the land next spring. This was
Mr.. Kimberly's frs, trip to Idaho
and he was greatly impressed with
immensity of the proposition and
was extremely we'll pleased with
the outlook. The trip was particu-
lar interesting to him as something
new and unique. He was also in
terested in the sheep industry and
asked many questions concerning
the business.
The party thoroughly inspected
the entire works while at Miner
and also made the trip to Shoshone
Falls and Blue Lakes. At the
latter place they enjnyed the hos

The citizens residing at Marsh,

hunt, for the purpose of extermin-
ating the coyote, lynx, wildcat, ra-
coon and all other obnoxious wild
animals which are menace to

A TOUGH EXPERIENCE
Two Boys Lost on the Desert-Mucb
Exhausted and Feet Badly
Frosted When Found.

Two boys with proclivity for
trapping caused quite a commo-
ton in Shoshone Monday night.
The boys, Frank McCune and Les
ter Lemon started out on the des-
crt southwest OF town Monday
afternoon after school, to visit
their traps. While tramping
around in the sage brush looking
for rabbit to bait their traps,
darkness c4me on and the first
thing they knew they were lost.
The absence of the boys was no.
ticcd at their homes during the ev-
ening and as the hours passed
their relatives became alarmed
about them. 1t was finally decided
to send out searching parties and
about eleven o'clock number of
started out to find the boys. 1t
was supposed that their traps were
north OF the railroad, and the search
ing party went out on the lava
rock to bring them in. The night
was cold and windy and even the
searchers bundled in warm clothes
found it hard to keep warm.
About two O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing members of the party began
to return but could report no indi-
cications of the whereabouts of the
boys. No. /. which was very late
came in about that time, and the
engineer was asked to blow his
whistle on his run out west of
town, it being hoped that the boys
might hear it and make their way
to the railroad track and then into
town.
In the meantime the boys were
wandering about in the sage brush |
trying to find some familiar land !
mark from which they could get
their direction. When No. 1 went
west they heard the repeated whist
ling Of the engine, and getting
on a prominence could see the flash |
OF the headlight. They then made
their way to the track, and being
much exhausted laid down on the
embankment to rest. Later they
started up the track for home and
arrived at Randall's about five
o'clock in sorry plight, where
they were found by Mrs. McCune.
Young McCune's feet were so bad
y frost bitten that it was at first
cared that some of the toes would
lave to be amputated, but it is now
hought that they can be saved.
The experience is one that the
'oys will not care to meet with ,
lgain, and they were lucky that !
t did not result more seriously.
'1any thanks are due the engineer
# No. l for blowing the whistle, ,
nd for his kindness in offering to :
axe a searching party down the :
inc and let them off at any point !
hey might indicate.

Local ReQL-EState Market
Subject to LUinter Dizziness

The real-estate business is beginning to
show the customary winter dizziness in GER
tain lines. representative brokers say. There
has been fairly good sized number OF
small transactions the past week, but no
transfers of very much general Importance
have been recorded.
The real-estate business is settling into
that condition when a large majority OF the
transactions will be with persons who are
buying real estate for purely investment
purposes" said John s. Spann yesterday.
The winter months are the time when a
large bulk OF this kind of deals Is made.
This Is the kind of business that lasts all
the year around, of course, however. II is
as good in months when no building can be
done. almost, as during the summer and
spring and fail months.
A leading East Market-street broker said
yesterday that next year will record unus-
ually large building operations in Indian
apolis IL there is a slight reduction in the
price OF building material and II there are
no labor troubles like the ones in New York
and other cities. which have handicapped
building operations TO a large extent TINS
year. Investment building in Indianapolis
Is vastly on the increase. said this broker,
and next year promises to be big year In
real-estate and building lines.
IT think the next few years will see q
considerable enlargement OF the downtown
business district Of Indianapolis" yesterday
said Jay G.. Voss. 'All indications point
to increased activity in the property i'm
mediately surrounding the center or the
downtown business section during the next
few years. There will be much Building
both north and south and east and west or
this section. This is good property and Its
advantages for the location of large bust
ness establishments is being appreciated
more all the time"

In the quo warranto proceedings brought

Ryan to GUST tho latter from the office of

The argument consumed the entire MORN
lng. BARLEY was represented by Edgar A.
Brown and Vincent G. Clifford. Henry
warrum, as city attorney. presented the
argument for the defense. Judge carter
took the case under advisement.
Bartley's attorneys contended that their
client was the de facto inspector, having
been appointed by Mayor Bookwalter In
October, 1902, for term Of two years. The
present Board of Public Safety, at the time
OF Holtzmans election to the office or
mayor appointed Ryan to succeed BARLEY,
