TRACKWALKERS LAMENT
New Invention Makes the Job Not
What it Used to Be

The Great Northern has adopted
a signal system whereby they can
keep tab on their trackwalkers in
the Kootenai canyon. These watch
men are given stations of about
two miles to cover. At the end of
each station is telephone where
they report in to Bonners Ferry.
At the telephone is an electrical
device which, by pulling down
lever, sets an automatic telegraph
device at work which records their
number on a paper reeled off of a
wheel on another device in the off
ice at Bonners Ferry. II everything
is alright the track walker has moth
ing to do but call up on the phone,
give his name, and than pull the
lever and have his number reeled
off in the office here. If anything
is wrong he can report it over the
phone. A book is kept in the office
where each report is recorded. This
prevents the track walker from
Sinking or taking a quiet nap
while on duty, for he must make
the two miles and report every
hour and half. 1t is neeless to say
that the innovation is not relished
by the old time wstchman.
There are thirty two track walk
ers in the canyon. The new system
will add much to the safety of
operating trains over that danger
Gus piece of track. 1t adds a great
deal to the labor of the depot force
and it is probable that when traffic
picks up two extra operators will
be put on.
The system has been in operation
three weeks and works very salts
foctorily. So we are informed by
Agent f. B. Peckins.
F. T. Berger, of this place, w. U.
lineman, installed the system.

Advice to Young Men

Don't think that every girl who is
pleasant to you is in love with you.
Don't sit on the porch without
your coat.
Don't take any girl to restaur-
ant or other place to which you
would not take your sister.
Don't keep your pipe in your
mouth when talking to woman,
and remember that the custom of
rising when woman enters the
room is not entirely obsolete.
Don't take hold of womaa's
arm and push her along.
Don't stay till l1,30 or ~ o'clock
when calling on girl, even if you
know her well. The chances are
that such friendships soon cease
to exist. Don't call oftener than
once week.
Don't pound your heels on the
sidewalk when you walk.
Be prudent even in love.

Martha Carpenter Dead

The following is letter written
by Mrs. Anna Leamen June 25th,
to her aunt, Mrs. Bell Crane, tell
Ing of the death of her mother,
Mrs. Martha Carpenter, for many
years resident here:
"By the time this reaches you my
dear mama will be laid down to her
final sleep. We found on breaking
into her little home this morning
that she had passed away some
time during the night. We think
it must have been before midnight
as her light was still bursing. l
often GO early in the morning to
see if she is alright and she so often
laughed at me for being 80 uneasy,
got SO | would slip over and back
and she wouldn't know it. This
morning Lille came about seven
and did not find her up but came
away. We thought she was rest
ing late as the early night was
warm.
va VIC d dlu ldt6I anu SdlQ
she didn't answer Felt little
worried but about eight came and
called her and found the lamp still
burning. We broke into the house
then and l knew what we should
fnd. 1t seems to me I never shall
recover from the shock of finding
her dear quiet form. don't think
she suffered as her body doesn't
show signs of tossing about; but
she had been dead tor some hours,
aad OBJ, Aunt Belle, within calling
distance of my window to die
alone, all alone, seems more than
l can bear.
Last she wrote was to kathrvu.
1t was of course her heart. / am
indeed desolate.

The Biggest Liars on Earth

An exchange has figured out that
the average newspaper man is the
biggest liar on earth and that this
is true because circumstance COM
pels him to be liar ia order to
hold his job. If man makes a
six by nine addition to his hen
house, the editor must say he is
making extensive improvements.
If some measly old skin flint
loosens up his purse strings and
gives half dollar to public sub
scription the editor must speak of
it as a liberal donation to the
chicken pie fund for office seekers.
The biggest rascal in town may
have to be known in the columns of
the paper as one of our honorable
and influential citizens. The man
who is out five nights of the week
carousing around with the boys
and leaves his wife and children
at home alone is a model husband
| and father, and the woman who
stands on the front porch and
waves her hand goodbye" to her
husband as he turns the corner on
his way to work while come quicker
sticks his head in the back door
and asks if he is gone, is delight
fully charming woman and leader
in society. And SO on through the
| at P,,f
of all that the editor has to tell is
when you come to the tender care
of the undertaken. He tells how
you at last come to your reward
and that the good that you have
done all through life will live after
| you and that you are probably al
ready holding up your little brass
busle aud looking at your rehec-
ton of your angelic face in it when
he knows that if you are gettiug
your just desserts you are wishin 2
for palm leaf fan and swig out
of the Arctic ocean. Yes, it is true
that editors are the biggest liars
On earth but if they told the truth
all the time so much popular in.
