STOCKHOLDERS MEETING

, Il q :
Next Tuesday afternoon there will
be meeting of the stockholders OF
the Sterling Townsite company at the
Otis post office. There have been
many board meetings but this will be
the first, opportunity offered for all
the stockholders to get together to
hear reports and to discuss plans and
policies. There has been some talk
of grading part or all of the streets
this fall and getting things In condi--
ton to set trees in the spring, and
this matter will PROBABLY be consid-
cred. 1t is our understanding that
many of the people who purchased
lots at Sterling are anxious to see the
arrangements completed for the sett-
ing of trees next spring, and it would
be reassuring to the stockholders and
officers If purchasers of lots should
write their views to Secretary A. Y.
Satterfield before the meeting. The
company would feel more like carry
ing on street improvements II as
sured by a number of reliable lot
owners of their hearty cooperation
in carrying out the plans for secur-
ing shade and other natural beauty
which adds so much to the value of
town property.

GREAT GAME COUNTRY

That eastern Idaho is one of the
greatest game countries in the nation
today; that the fame of Wyoming,
heretofore held as the fayOrite, rests
not so much upon the abundance Of
game within that state as to the dis
lance that lends enchantment, are
facts proven by the experience of a
Short Line engineer and companion,
who after an absence from Pocatello
of eactly nine days, returned from
hunting trip to the region east and
north of John Gray's lake, near the
Wyoming line, with two elk, two deer
two cinnamon bear, four martin and
three red foxes. While in the field
they caught all the trout they could
eat, finding it easy to get the limit
in less than an hour.
Frank Dice. one of the best known
conductors in the passenger service
of the Short Line, and Charles Huff !,
are the two men who have further es-
tablished Idaho's claim to being the
mecca of big game hunters. Leaving
Pocatello they made the trip by rail
to Montpelier, thence through the Tin
Cup and Jack Knife country to their
chosen hunting grounds. They found.
game SO plentiful that in the six and
a half days of actual hunting, they
landed the trophies as enumerated
above. They thoughtfully took some
traps along and during the idle mo-
ments landed the martin and foxes.
Conductor Dice tells some thrilling
tales of his experiences. The CHINA
mon bear he killed was one of the
largest ever bagged IN this section Of
the west The elk which fell to his
trusty rifle was six-pointer, and
weighed $50 pounds dressed.
Every year Conductor Dice enjoys
a big game hunt Heretofore he has
chosen the Sawtooth mountain coun-
try, tramped through Island park and
Jackson hole, burned powder on the
skyline hills Of the Lemhi district,
but unhesitatingly states that the
Caribou and Jack Knife country beats
them all.-Ex.

ONE OF GODS CHARADEs

BY. William G. Warren in The In

This morning | witnessed deed

ed.
had been enjoying an all too rare
treat, morning gallop with Kitty
kindest of little beasts man ever be-
strobe. / had left her at the stable,
and was walking home along Broad
way, when, at the crossing, l came
upon knot of twenty or more men,
boys, policemen, ana standing teams.
A sewer main had lately been laid
across the street and the hind wheel
of an over loaded truck wagon had
found In the new pavement soft
place close by the track Of the tram,
and had sunken SO deeply that the
horse, great noble-looking fellow as
he was, could not have drawn 1t out
had he been multiplied by four.
Drivers, policemen and volunteers
had been at work with great timber
levers and planks and blocking, to
pry up the sunken wheel; but the
most they had accomplished was to
get the end of scantling nearly un-
der the wheel in such wise that II it
could be rolled forward at all, the
scantling would make an inclined
plane up which the wheel could climb
until it should reach the pavement
level. s> !st - vii = Il 1kfnAs; y i.
With everything in readiness, and
all the prizes at work, the men made
a final appeal to tthe strong and spir-
tied bay to pull once more. Once
and again he responded generously.
hut without effect. Then he desisted
and continued to desist. saying good
naturedly. but as plainly as ever
horse could. that it was useless and
inhuman to put one horse. however
strong, to do the work of four.
1t was now nearly time for the
electric to come whizzing down THE
obstructed track. Something must
be done at once. There Is no help
for It," said the boss Of the trucking
teams--"there is no help for 1t; we
shall have to bring on Old Whitley"
So the well-groomed bay was led out
of his shafts and old Whitley taken
from another loaded wagon. She
had by no means the spirited look of
the bay. Her arching neck had long
since sunken to the general level of
her dorsal skyline. Her great ears
seemed incapable Of motion, and her
face was pathetical1y heavy and sad.
Each several hair lay just where the
drying from unnumbered sweats had
left it, and no two seemed to lie to-
gether.
Her gaunt hulk was soon backed
into the heavy truck shafts, and the
trace chains made fast to the whiffle-
tree-at first little too short, then
heightened bit to give her sea room
There was no savage jerk upon the
bits, no brandish of whip, no blow,
no angry yell, nothing but giving
of free rein, and the projection of

was peculiarly vocalized with an in
describable gutteral explosion that
was amazingly penetrating and hui
man. 1t was at once coaxing, COM
handing, trustful, strenuous, kindly,
authoritative, desperate, and ] know
not what else.
Old Whitley at once lifted her hea-
wy ears, and as another and another
of these insistent kisses we're thrown
at her, she suddenly took on the as
pect of new embodiment of life.
She tested her tackle carefully, she
felt the ground over with her feet, to
find If there were the slightest points
of vantage, she ascertained the CEN
trail line of lightweight draft, and
swinging herself one point off to the
left, gave a good, generous one-horse
power tug at the immoyable mass.
In vain.
Then swinging round two points to
the right, she gave another, surely a
two-horse power lift at the terrible
load.
Immovable it remained.
Another coaxing, confident, kindly
anxious kiss thrilled through her
exited brain-another.
She now fully took in the situation
1t was an emergency. She knew
what an emergency meant. She had
been called on before. She knew she
was counted on. She was this man
only present hope. Swinging once
more a trifle on the great kingbolt
and drawing deep, deep breath, she
suddenly bowed her sinewy neck and
boony frame. and with a lunge that
would have launched Ia world had
creation been her business, she dash
ed with straining strides across the
twenty feet of treacnerous pavement
and trembling in every fibre Of her
being, landed her inhuman load upon
the solid street.
Well might the crowd stand breath
less, as it did. Such perfect intelli-
gence as to every ounce of help she
could extort from the lay of the
street, and from the leverage of the
kingbolt-I fear also perfect intelli-
gence as to the cruelty of the i'm
position. Such desperate power OF
will; such willingness to will desper-
ately; and all, not to escape the task;
all merely to serve and please her
master in his hour of need. could
not stop to pat her infinitely pathetic
/ face, nor even to see If her driver
gave her unkempt forelock one little
approving pull. The tears were roll
ing down my cheeks and l had to
hasten away.
Old Whitley had been counted on,
and Old Whitley had met all expecta-
tions.
