Will FREIGHT From WeHer.

Owing to the fact that the p. 81.
N railroad failed to live up to their
agreement with l. r. Smith, that
gentleman, who by the way is one of
the largest buyers in this county,
will in the future have his freight
hauled from Weiser by teams. Not
only will this move be profitable
one for the ranchmen who are eager
for such work, but will also be more
convenient for Mr.. Smith, as II will
enable him to get in his goods at an
earlier date and they will arrive in
better condition.
Other stores in this section are also
contemplating having their freight
handled by teams as they figure they
can cave time, trouble and expense.

In the freight yard at Jersey City felt
sure that every appliance was properly
In its place. Then came slight
wreck, and several persons were In
jured. When 1t came to dressing the
wounds the first cry was for safety
pins. There was not one in the closet
1t was the only thing that had been
overlooked, and the very next day q
large assortment Of safety pins was
placed upon the shelves, so that when
the next wreck occurs all will be In
readiness.
Along the walls of the car are a doz-
en- folding stretchers, tanks containing
oxygen, axes and saws with which to
liberate persons pinned under wreck
age, crutches and splints and even
easy folding chairs of canvas for pa
tients to sit on while waiting their turn
at the hands of the surgeon.
On each of the four walls of the
operating room Is list Of the surgeons

surgeon, his town address, his street
number, and, IL he has a phone, his
telephone number too. There Is not a
section of ten miles along the road
where doctors are not practically I'M
der the orders of the railroad.
The orders are that as soon as a
wreck or accident is heard of the doc
tors in that vicinity are notified at once,
and the car is taken from its siding
In the freight yard at Jersey City and
drawn by special engine at once to
the point of need.
The car has separate short siding
In the center of the freight yards, and
no other car is ever placed In front
OF It, No matter how congested the
tracks may be. an engine can always
reach the hospital car and whisk II
away to wreck or accident without 4
moments delay. 1t is now proposed
to build number Of these cars and
place them at various poiuts along
the whole length of the road.

 AUDIENCE CHARMED AND WISE
 NOTHING BETTER THAN TO HAVE HER COME AGAIN.
 This was not the 'line storm" nol
 the "blessom storm;" but it was 6 storm, nobody questions that. It is
 still raging as these words are being
 written, and may go on through sev' eral more chapters. Quite remarkably
 though, it held up about o'clock,
 Wednesday evening, just in time to give opportunity to large number far larger than any one dared hope for during the day) to hear Miss Edith Davies sing in the Town hall. She is contralto soloist in the Brick church, Fifth avenue, New York; and the opinion of all those who heard her,
 Wednesday evening, is that the at tendants at the Brick church must, unsteady, have continual feast. Her singing is not of the affected style that may attract because it has glamour and tinsel about it; but it is of the sweet, natural sort that appeals to the of the soul. The ease with which Miss Davies handles her high notes is re- markable. Her work is not labOriOuS climbing of the staff; it is an eagles mounting. Such gift of voice is a gift of the ten-talent order. Miss Edith is to be commended for her art that conceals art, her gracefulness and for her gentle way of capturing her audience. She was warmly applauded with every number on the program, and generously responded with numer- ous encores. Nevin's "Oh, That We Two Were Maylng" showed the rich contralto voice to fine advantage. .The Rosary" was perfect gem; and Gently Lead Us," will long be remem- bered. Miss Davies tells us that al- though the Brick church choir sing selections from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, the people often make re- quest for the singing of this simple old Welsh hymn.
 Miss Davies showed her gift as an by reciting James Whit comb Riley's Happy Little Cripple" and Aunt Shaw's Pet Jug" The pro- gram was varied. There was enough of the light and playful to give con- trast with the more serious, and the held to the very end.
 We heartily wish that such evenings were not so rare with us. What we all need is lifting out of our narrow modes of life to things that inspire and that speak to us of a truer, finer, richer life. It may interest many to know that Miss Edith Davies has al- ready been engaged to give concert on Saturday evening in July and to sing the following Sunday in the Con- church. The date may be July 16.
 The receipts for Wednesday even- ing's concert were over $3O, which shows how, by persistent work, thing may be made to go even though out ward conditions are all against it.
