Work With Fine
Success.
Special to Eevening Teller.

Special to Eevening Teller.
CULDESAC, Idaho, Sept. 3.-The
railroad grade through the town is
progressing much more rapidly since
Contractor Goerig has moved his
stem shovel to the upper end of town.
The big rock cut through the upper
end Of town is all slide made many
years ago, and so far the workmen
have not struck anything but loose
rock. and it is really wonderful the
way the big steam shovel handles this
loose rock and dumps it into cars
which run by their own weight to
where the load is dumped onto the
grade. Laborers are scarce on all the
line above here, which retards the
work very much.
Harvest Hands Scare.
There is a great deal of grain in the
near vicinity of Culdesac that has not
been cut yet, and 1t is being damaged
badly on account of not being harvest
in this section.
The late rains damaged hay and
grain some, but it Is making the corn
crop a good one. Potatoes are sprout-
ing In the ground. and II not harvest
ed Immediately will be ruined.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Farr of the
new town of Reuben were in Culdesac
few days ago. and 1t is said that they
intend to comeback to Culdesac to
live as they are old timers here.
Several Cases Of Toyphoid.
DR.. Burke is quite busy now. and
has some toyphoid fever cases. Mrs.
Marley who lives up the canyon is
down with this fever now. Mr.. Harry
Ward. who has had a severe time with
this disease. is slowly getting better
The planning mill at Jaques' Spur
has started up. and there Is plenty of
business at that place now
The wagon road from Culdecas to
Spalding is i'm fine condition this
summer, the lumber hauiers and other
transfers having kept men on the
road until the rocks are all removed,
which so menaced travel before.

BROTHER GOAT AND BROTHER
RABBIT.

Once upon a time there was rabbit
who thought he had very good friend
who was a goat. He always called
his Brother Goat. Mr. Goat did not
think so much Of the rabbit, so Of
course he did not go to visit him very
often, and sometimes he took his wife
and stayed all day. One day when
the rabbit and his wife were there he
thought he would like to go out walk
ing, SO he asked the rabbit to go with
him. The rabbit, Of course, took the
invitation, and as they were out walk
ing the goat said, II am getting very
hungry" The rabbit said $50 am T."
II am so hungry / can't wait till get
home" said the goat, so he started TO
eat the rabbit. "Oh!" said the rabbit,
do not eat me-" But the goat went
on all the same. When he returned
home there was the rabbits wife wait
Ing for him. When the goat went IN
at the door Mrs. Rabbit said, Where is
my husband?" The goat said, "He
ran away from me. guess he went
home" So Mrs. Rabbit went home,
but he was not there. After she went
Brother Goat told his wife what had
happened. She went over and told Mrs.
Rabbit about it. 1t made her mad and
she never did go to visit Mrs. Goat
again.

Philadelphia, Penn. On the first Of
July the debate was begun, on the
second the resolution was carried out
and on the fourth 1t was adopted by
congress. That is why we celebrate
the fourth of July. The Liberty Bell"
which was rung on the 9Th was crack
ed and is kept at Philadelphia. It
was exhibited at the Worlds fair In
1904. The signing Of this was given
to bind men two of which were Ben
janlin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson did most of the work. An
other was John Hancock. He is re-
ported to have said, 1--WE must be un-
animous and hang together" Frank
lin who was standing near said, yes
we shall hang together or else we
shall hang separately" The people
who signed the declaration Of indie
pendence were called the "Sons Of
Liberty" The people of America
wanted to be free from England. This
was the cause of the Revolutionary
war. 1t was long war, but at last
the English had to surrender and the
Americans were free from England
