Commercial Clubs Should Act.

The people Of Bear Lake county
and the eastern part Of Bannock
county certainly have just ground
for complaint against the Short Line
railroad company, regarding the
passenger accommodations and con
nections between here aud Salt Lake.
As previously stated, passengers can
no longer go 10 Pocatello, en- route
to or from Salt Lake, but are com.
pelled TO stop n McCammon, where
abominable connections are made
and no accommodations are Afforded
by the company. Daring the long
waits at McCammon, passengers are
forced to huddle together in small
waiting room or go to the expense
of putting up at the hotel. II con.
neetiens there were such that pas
sengers would not have TO wait
more ,hrn an hour, either going or
coming, II would not be so bad, but
as they have to wait from > TO :
hours, they are entitled to better
accommodations than are now af
fordei.
II seems to ns that If the Com
mercial Clubs of Paris, Montpelier
aud Soda Springs would take thi'
matter up in the proper manner
with the company officials some re
Ilel might pc obtained. Our rug

tives from each club be sent TO Sal

Quantities of it are shipped TO all

Mr.. Smith has taken the pains TO
trace the history of alfalfa back to
its earliest origin. lie found that
it entered the United States by way
of Mexico. IL was brought 10 the
latter country by the Spaniards soon
after the days of the conquest by
Cortex. II spread north ward to the
Rio Grande valley, where il was
grown by the Mexicans in irrigated
lands two or three centuries ago.
From Mexico the plant spread
southward and was grown IN South

$50 years ago. 1t is still grown ex.
tensively in Chilli and several Of the
other far southern countries. The
native home Of alfalfa is said to be
Central Asia. II is now spread
pretty we'll all over the world and
of recent years it became the prin'
cipal forage crop in some sections
Of the United States.

THE THRIFTY ROBIN.
BFeakfasting on a Piece of Cake. Ii
Lets No Flying Crunb Escape.

Y
A small girl sitting on a bench in the
park threw 10 a robin that was hoppins
about on the grass near by a piece of
cake about as big as hickory nut, which
the hungry redbreast Immediately at
tackled, says the New York Sun. and il
was interesting TO see the bird eat it.
AM particularly interesting to see how
it let no crumb escape.
When it first struck its beak into the
lump it knocked a tiny fragment of to
land a foot away, and this tiny fragment
it went after and got before again at
lacking the big piece. This course it
pursued, with but one or two exceptions.
until the whole piece of cake had Deen
eaten. Almost every time il struck the
big piece one or TWO crumbs would fly
and these the robin would promptly go
after hrst-
One man sitting near on a bench said
the robin did this simply because those
little pieces that few OF were the east
est TO pick up, bat to another man its
doing this seemed TO show clearly that
the robin was very thrifty that il went
of and shipped up these crumbs first so
as 10 be sure 10 miss none OF them; the
big lump it could see easily but II fl left
the crumbs all scattered around till the
last it might lose some Of them.
But, anyway, that's what the robin did:
every time a crUmb flew It went for it be-
fore pecking again at the main piece and
when the robin had eaten that down to a
piece about the size OF Il pea it bOlted
that al one beakful.

ORIGIN OF BUNGALOW. -
Is AngIO-Indian, and of Compare.
lively Recent Dnte.


The word bungalow" is of compare
lively modern date and is AngIo-Indian.
says Indoors and Out. Its origin can
DE traced to the adjective bangIa CFIin-
doostanD, which literally means "be-
longing TO Bengal" 1t is an easy stem
from this 10 the manuscript preserved
in The India Office (England). dated
1876, which has reference to bun
gales or hovclls for all Eng
nsh in the company's service" ANY
sketch Of a native dwelling in India
Will show how at first it was not un-
natural to bracket "bungales" with
novels" The word was in the max
ing. and the building improved with
the word.
In I'LL we find a reference 10 a
Dutch bungalow" on the shores of the
Hoogley. In the eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries there are refer
ence in Anglo-Indian correspondence
to Wayside houses which are sDeIled
'bungula" and "bungalo." and in one
instance. IN 1893, a journal Of residence
in India describes the bungalo as a
garden house, The most striking ref
erenoe, which tallies with our own
view OF the building as described by
the word, is contained ia a book dated
lS4l, which says: "The bungalows of
India arc for the most part built OF
unbaked bricks and covered with
thatch, having in the center a hall. the
whole being encompassed by an omen
veranda." That is probably the short
est and most complete definition OF the
broad meaning of the word that can
be found. OF course. we build bunea-
lows nowadays of many other ma
terials besides bricks; but the latter
are used. sun dried. in many quarters
OF the globe besides India. Primarily
a bungalow Is a building specially suit
able for hot climate where the broad
Serandas make cool, shady places for
sitting outdoors.
