RETIRES WITH
GOOD RECORD
r. Car1ick Leaves Short
Line After over 33
Years of Faithful
Service.

Harry Carrlck came up from Fo-
catello last Saturday afternoon and
spent Sunday here shaking hands
with old friends.
On October 3lst Mr.. Carrick re-
tired from the service of the Oregon
Short Line, and will draw a COM
Portable pension from the company
during the balance of his life, nc
having been connected with the
Union Pacific and Short Line for
over 33 years.
He entered the service of the
Union Pacific at Evanston as
machinist's apprentice. After ser
wing his apprenticeship he was made
gang foreman in the Evanston shops,
which position he held until he was
transferred to Montpelier as fore
man Of the shops. He remained
here for about | 8 years and on Sept.
i. 1905, he was promoted to the
position of master mechanic of the
Idaho and Montana divisions at Po-
catello. With the railroad com
pany's contantly increasing husl-
ness. the master mechanics duties
became go heavy that the work was
divided about a year ago, the Idaho
and Montana divisions each being
given a master mechanic and from
that time until his retirement at the
close of last month, Mr.. Carrick
had charge of the Montana DIVISION.
During his long seaylce with the
company Mr.. CarrIck was faithful
to every trust that was imposed up
on him, and the high regard in
which he was held by his superior
officials was attested buy the letters
he received from them upon his re-
tlrement.
Learning, npon hIs arrival here
last Saturday afternoon, that Mr..
Carrick and family were about te
leave Poca:eIlo for their future
home in Eastern Oregon, a farewell
social was quickly arranged for tina
evening in the Odd Fellows hall b,
the Masons and Knights of Pythias
IN both of which orders Mr.. Carriel
was an active worker during hi
long residence in Montpelier. TIL
greatest disappointment of tn
evening was, that number of hi
old associates and friends were ou
OF town and could not be notlfe
of the gathering in time to reac
here
However, the 40 or more wh
were present spent the evening mo,
delightfully."- IN talking over ol
times and partaking of the man
good things to eat, which had bee
SO quickly prepared.
As master of ceremonies, Cha
E. Harris called npon all presel
for short talks and in respondlr
each one referred TO the high +
gard in which Mr.. Carrick and h
family were held in Montpelier al
to bis sterling worth as railro
official, as brother in the lod
room and as citizen, and exprs
sions of real regret were made th

CENSUS TAKING WILL
BEGIN APR RIL Is
Work Must be Completed within
30 Days--Will be 200 Enum-
orators In Idaho.

The census taking will start on
the 18th of next April and under
the law must be completed within
one month in all districts excepting
cities having 5000 or more'popula-
tion at the last census. There the
enumeration must be com plete with
in two weeks after April Is. The
census bureau is part of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. 1t
bears about the same relationship
to that department as the general
land Office does to the interior de-
partment.
Idaho is the largest supervisor
district in the nation ln point of
area. One supervisor is usually ap-
pointed for each congressional dis
trict, but as Idaho has only one con
grcssman it has but one supervisor.
By way of illustration nearly every
county in this state contains as
many square miles as the average
supervisor district in the Older
states.
The law requires that the thir-
teenth census shall be restricted to
inquiries relative to population,
agriculture, manufactures and to
mines and quarries.
1t is understood that there will be
200 enumerators allowed in Idaho.
just how these enumerators will be
apportioned il not yet known but il
is supposed it will be upon basis
. of one enumerator for every two
, thousand inhabitants.
j The enumerators are not required
/ to take a civil service examination
but it is essential that each one ap
! pointed be good penman and tha
he or she have thorough know
. ledge of the district they are t.

GONE To HIS
FINAL REST
Geo. H, 0lmstead Died
Last Friday--Worthy
Tribute to a Worthy
Citizen.

George II. Olmstead, former
of the Idaho division
Of the Short Line, died at Hot Lakes
Oregon, last Friday afternoon. His
body was brought to Pocatello for
burial, the funeral services being
held there Tuesday afternoon under
the auspices of the Masonic Paternity
of which deceased was a prominent
member.
Tn it's tribute to Mr. Olmstead
the Boise Statesman says:
ssNo railroad man was better
known in the intermountaincountry.
Bluff, frank and outspoken, he was
at once respected and admired by
all with whom he came in contact.
When some trainman overstepped
the rules and was 'shauled up on
the carpet before Superintendent
Olmstead, George could use halr-
raising language, but the trainman
went away knowing that he had met
man who knew what he was talk
ing about; who knew the railroad
business from the ground up. On
the other hand, when some unfor-
tunate wanted favor, it was prompt
ly forthcoming from the bottom of
q heart as big as ever beat in
mans bosom. In condemnation or
commentator he never minced
words. Anger never entered into
his handling Of men; slways it was
sense of justice; and his unfailing
good humor, even when verbally
"tearlng the block" off an offender,
was proverbial.
1--WE who knew George Olmstead
best knew and fully appreciated his
loyable qualities, his generous,
kindly thought, his keen intelligence
his devotion to high ideals of honor,
his Spartan courage in suffering and
his loyal, loving friendship.
"Forforty years George Olmstead
, worked in the railroad harness.
He crossed the plains in an OK
, team IN 1858 and began his railroad
career as fireman on the old Cali
, fornia Pacific, now the Southern
Pacific. In one year he was pro.
NOTED to an engine. After six
!, months at the throttle, he resigned
and went TO Callao, Peru, spent slz
month there and then went to thu
Isthmus of Panama, where he re
mained half year, returning tc

Secures Caurt Order to Review
Evidence.
The Evidence Taken by the
City Council Will be Sub
ject to Scrutiny.

Ed. P. Peterson. proprietor OF
Hotel Wash burn, whose license
was revoked by the city council
last Wednesday evening. has
secured a court order directing
the City Clerk to certify all the
records and evidence taken by
the city council to the Circuit
Court, so that the same may be
reviewed. Peterson by his attor-
ney A. w. Mcleod contends that
the evidence taken by the coun-
Gil was insu fficient to warrant
the action taken, that the original
complaint by which Peterson
was convicted of gam bling some
time ago, was indefinite. The
writ of Certiorari which has
been served on City Clerk Axel-
berg was retrrnable yesterday,
but it is thought that the matter
will be brought before Circuit
Judge Parish some time during
the next few days.

The above is cut of Supt. J.
T. Hooper Of Ashland who is a
candidate for state Superintend-
ent of Schools.
Mr.. Hooper has been connect
ed with the Ashland schools for
the past thirteen years and has
made a remarkable record. At
the meeting of the North Wis
consin Teachers Association held
last week Mr.. Hooper was unan-
imously endorsed in the strong
est possible manner. AS Mr..
Hooper is man from this section
of the state he thoroughly under
stands school conditions in
Northern Wisconsin and shonld
receive the united support Of the
people of this region, This is
especially true as Mr.. Hooper s
qualifications are superior to
those of any of the other candi-
dates. He is the only candidate
who has full four years college
course and the only candidate
who has had experience in all
lines of school work. His edu.
cation, his experience, his record.
his ability and bis character all
warrant active and united sup
port.
On the grounds of loyalty,
patriotism and qualifications
every voter of Northern Wiscon-
sin. man or woman, should go
to the polls on Tuesday next and
cast their ballot for Junius T.
Hooper for State Superintendent.

Scares Woman Into Faint.
Mrs. L. T. Duffy so Brighten
ed She Swoons Before
Burglar who Enters.

A burglar entered the home
L. II. Duffy, 1906 Twelfth street
last Friday evening about
clock and frightened Mrs
Duffy, who was alone in the
house with her baby so badly
that she tainted.
Mrs. Duffy was sitting III the
kitchen with the child when she
heard someone rapping loudly
on the back door. She asked
who was there and was told that
it was someone who was hungry
and wanted something to eat.
Mrs. Duffy said that she had
nothing for the man and refused
to open the door.
The burglar then went around
to the front door which Mrs.
Duffy thought was locked and
entered the house. He went tC
the kitchen and demanded that
he be given such money as there
was about the house. Mrs.
Duffy was so frightened that she
tainted away. She says how
ever, thatshe remembers enough
of what happened afterward tc
know that the man rum maged
around the house to find what
valuables there were. He found
nothing because the money was
hidden in a sewing basket He
thanked Mrs. Duffy when he
went. Mrs. Duffy describes TIE
man as being rather stout. with
black coatand courduroy pants,
He wore black linen cap and
appeared to have dark hair al
though that was hard to see.
Mrs. Duffy was found laying
prostrate on the floor by neigh
Dor who came in to see her about
$50. The police were called and
they are now on the lookout fo1
the man. So far no trace has
been found of him. m.-Superiol

Well Wouldn't That Make You
Stare.
Tt is no Dream, but a Stern
Reality. Work Begins
Soon.

The above heading might make
some people rub their eyes and
stare again. Another new saw
mill for this city. That Is exact
ly the good news that we are
permitted to give our readers
this week. And more than that.
It will not be temporary affair
built to saw a few thousand feet.
nor will it be a small affair. It
will be good substantial business.
Built to last a long term of years.
built to saw lum Der, built to en-
ploy men, and to give to Wash
burn one more industry. The
new company which is composed
of Washburn men, viz. Monroe
HI. Sprague, 0. A. Lamoreaux;
M. A. Sprague and E. E. Ken.
field will begin in few days to
build mill on the site of the old
South Shore mill. All of the
property of the Akeley and
Sprague people has been pur-
chased by the new Company. and
a long term lease has been taken
on the real estate and mill site.
Work of construction will be be-
gun in a few days and the mill
will be finished about July 1st
1t is expected that it will cost
about $12,OOO.O0 to build the
mill and that it will have a
capacity of at least 10000 feet
per day, AL of the equipment
will be of the latest make, and
everything will be to-date in
every respect. The splendid
dock and yard facilities which
the new mill will have will add
greatly to the excellence of the
institution. The planning mill
and shingle mill which the Akely
& Sprague Company now own
will also be operated by the new
Company and most of the ship
ment will be by rail, so that men
will be employed all of the year
around.
Monroe Ell. Sprague who is one
of the principal stockholders in
the new Company will have en-
tire charge of the plant, both
construction and operation and
his experience in the business
will add much to the efficiency
of the institution.
