valley last week that the electric
road, in IT'S construction would re-

cuts mad fills to make, requiring
that much in a few instances. Much
of the grade will require only regu-
lar borrow pits from the immediate
side of the track and amounts to

survey be the n adopted, grade
will require very little of this" This
talk that is put by those who natl

and brother, Judge Oliver. the
creator and father of the great and
incompatible body of untainted tai

committee on laws and suffrages,
after abrief absence from he club
room, returned and offered the fol-
lowing: That the chief headsman
should take his honorable posse,
go to American Falls and capture
the said Sam Winters for the
attempt to rob Judge Oliver of his
integrity and fortitude. After this
matter had been duly settled Jonah
the scribe. then read the charges
and specifications of Oliver which
were as follows: In the matter OF
a certain spotted trout said to have
been found in Bonanza lake weigh
ing 4 pounds and IA ounces by one
Sam Winters. How did Sam tell
that this fish was two years old?
For some twenty-five years the only
