five years. 1t Is evident he has come
quite a stretch, and would no doubt
feel disappointed If we should fail
to pay him our respects. His visit has
also no doubt caused him deal Of
trouble and perhaps the loss of some
sleep; for travelling under such ter
rife head of steam to keep from be-
ing late, necessitated sharp watch
to prevent collision with some of
the numerous diamonds OF the sky
that are sweeping, ever sweeping in
the diadem of heaven.
Shortly after four o'clock this morn
ing our old friend Josh Brooks Ste
yenson, rang US up and informed us
that the comet was hanging out high
and dry with no chapparral or under
brush in the way to obstruct the view.
Hastily donning our outer garments
we rushed out into the street and
looking In the direcuon from which
the winds came that chilled and killed
poor Annabel Lee. we formed the ac-
quaintance of the only object that is at
all in the running with Teddy Roose-
yelt as headliner
Just now the comet is a little dis
appointing as to size, brightness,
length of tail, ETC.. etc, The sure
enough astronomers tell us it is about
the size Of star of the 5th magnitude.
They are doubtless correct, but to us
it looked to be about the size of two
bits worth of ''foxfire" on a dark
night. The tail. Judging from this dis
tance. is about like fourteen-months-
Did coon's, minus the rings. How
ever. with good warm rain, 1t is like
ly to grow rapidly between now and
the latter part Of May when it will be
at its best.
Directions for finding the comet:
Arise at 4 in the morning, turn your
face toward Jerusalem. behold fair
Venus. queen OF the morning, then
look Just across the street north, and
10. yourI stand face to face with the
comet.

ArrEMprEO HIS OWN LIFE.


Jim Johnson. young negro man,
son Of Steve Johnson. well known
negro Of this city, attempted to end
his life by cutting his throat early
last night. He is thought to have been
mentally unbalanced at the time.
The boy has been working a long
time as yard and stable boy for DR..
J. w. Howell. and yesterday afternoon
was the first time he was noticed to
act peculiarly He was operated on
few weeks ago for tumor, and
when Mr.. w. s. Howell saw him cry
ing yesterday afternoon. supposed that
his side was hurting him and told him
to go and consult physician. He did
not go, however, seeming 70 be afraid
to go to town.
Last night when Mr.. Howell return
ed to his fathers home, he heard
mumbling and talking in the boys
room in the back yard. He called to
the fcy to know what was the matter
and he began to talk incoherently,
saying the devil had told him to kill
himself but he was not going to do it,
and also stated the Lord had called
him to preach. Mr.. Howell went in
the house and got his brother and to-
gether they went to the boys room to
see what was the matter with him.
When they called him to come out he
told them he had cut his throat and
came out all covered with blood.
He was taken at once to the home
Of his father and given medical at
tentIon. He is now in critical con-
dition with the chances against him.

BETWEEN
TELEPHONE USERS

Would you rush into an office or
up to the door of a residence and
blurt out "Hello Hello who am
talking TOP" and then, when you
received a reply, follow up your
wild, discourteous salutation with,
Il don't want you; get out of my
way. ! want to talk with MI.
Jones' Would you? That is
merely sample of the impolite and
impatient conversations that the
telephone transmits many times a
day.
There is most agreeable mode
of beginning a telephone conyersa-
tion which many people are now
adopting, because it saves useless
words and is, at the same time
courteous and direct. 1t runs thus:
The telephone bell rings, and the
persons answering it says: Morton
q Company, MIR. Baker speaking"
The person calling then says: "Mr.
Wood, of Curtis & Sons, wishes to
talk with MIR. White
When Mr.. White picks up the
freceiver, he knows Mr.. Wood is at
the other end of the line, and With
out any unnecessary and undienifi-
ed "Hellos," he at once greets hin.
with the refreshingly courteous sal
salutation: Good morning, Mr..
Wood That savors of the genial
handshake that Mr.. Wood would
have received had he called in per-
son upon Mr.. White.
Undoubtedly there would be a
far higher degree of telephone
courtesy, particularly in the way of
reasonable consideration for the
operators, if the face: to-face'
idea were more generally held in
mind. The fact that line Of wire
and two shining instruments seper-
ate you from the person with whom
you are talking, takes none Of the
sting out Of unkind words.
Telephone courtesy means an
swering the telephone as quickly as
The new era., 1910-04-07

possible when the bell rings
keeping the caller" waiting until
one gets good and ready to answer.
Telephone courtesy. on party lines,
means being polite when someone
else unintentionally breaks in-not
swapping, Get off the line; I'm US
Ing it,"
III a word, it is obviously true
that that which is the correct thing
to do III a -to-face conversation,
is also correct in a telephone con-
versation, and anyone has but to
apply the rules of courtesy, pre-
scribed long years before the tele-
phone was first thought Of, to know
the proper manners for telephone
usage.
Be forbearing, considerate and
courteous. Do over the telephone
as you would do face to face

The Fozpark Telephone

North Park needs direct phone
connection to Foxpark. At pres
ent it is necessary to pass any calls
from Walden to Foxpark around
thru the Laramie exchange. This
arrangement uses toll lines of
length l46re than twice the distance
from here to Foxpark. BY build
ing very few miles of line between
Bear Gulch and Foxpark the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Co. can
make the service at the North
Parks shipping point so much more
convenient that the additional bus
mess ought to pay a handsome pro-
fit on the investment and also re-

Good News.
Right-of Way Now Be-
ing Purchased.
Salmon Recorder.


From the first intimation that !
there was to be railroad built
to Salmon there have been a
number of doubling Thomases
who have maintained all along
that the road would not be built,
even affecting to believe this af-
ter the road was built to juno
ton. After the track was com
pleted to this city these same
pessimists have been equally
certain that the road would stop
at this point, and we would have
nothing but a plug road. The
Recorder is now in a position to
assure these doubters that the
contracts will soon be let, if not
already let, and actual construc-
ton work will commence to ex-
tend the line south up the Sal
mon river.
1t is true the local representa-
tives of the road are very reticent
as to the future movements, but
are willing to give out such in
formation as is bound to become
public property in few days.
The first of the week we learned
in a round about way that a rep
resentative of the company was
approached with this informa-
ton he admitted it was true.
He further stated that the
company was paying cash for
the right-of-way purchased, and
deeds transferred to the property
at once. 1t will be necessary tC
purchase right-of- way through
ranches for some ten miles uI
the river before government lane
is reached, and the strenuous eff
I
fort being put forth to secure
these deeds at once is ample evi
dence that actual construction
work will commence in the very
near future on the line running
to Boise.
While the Recorder believes
that the local representative
could give out much information
as to letting of contracts ant
date OF commencement of con
struction work, were not his lip
sealed, but it is evident that sucl
an effort would not be put fort
to purchase the right-of wa,
were not the intentions to a
once commence building opera
tions. 1t now begins to look a
> if the line will be built to Boise
or at least commence cOnstruc
e ton work in that direction be
/, fore the work on the Lewiston
t end is started.
