DR.. Hughes, the celebrated
eye specialist from Salt Lake.
was in Challis last week.
Judge Stevens and T. r. Jones
of Blackfoot were in town last
week, and have gone to Parker
Mountain.
Mrs. Beatrice Foley returned
last week from Pocatello where
she has been attending the sum-
mer school for teachers.
w. w. Adamson had a bad
run away at his sawmill last
week. The wagon was upset
while going down a steep bill,
and the occupants, five children
and three adults thrown out, and
Mrs. Loveland had the knee cap
of the left limb badly cut, and
Mrs. Adamson had a wrist in
jured.
A large gang of railroad sur
veyors are surveying on Middle
Fork, supposed to be Union Paci-
tic surveyors. 1t is known that
the Short Line people have been
considering a route through this
section, continuing their line
from Mackay to the Middle fork
via. Challis. There are two
routes by which a line could be
built. One is on Salmon river
to the mouth of Morgan creek,
then over to Middle FORK. The
other route is from Mackay to
Challis up Salmon river to Stan
ley Basin. This would open up
a great lead mining section, as
well as affording downhill pull
for some of the most valuable
Custer county mines. 1t is said
; the U. P. is trying to head of
the G. & P. in the route down
Salmon river, as the company
which can first ouild to the box
canyon will secure the best route
to tap the Snake river section.

Who Wants to be az Rich a.
Rockefeller

1t is currently reported that John D,
Rockefeller is the richest man in the
United States. 1t is also reported that
he is worth $500, 600, 900. How many
of you have ever figured up how much
money that is ? Let us show you by
illustration. Suppose Mr.. Rockefeller
said to you that, if you will sit down
and count his money. and require to
count one dollar every second, and
that you had to keep AT it 10 hours
every day, till the whole pile was
csupted, and that at the end of the
count he would give you 10 per cent OF
his wealth for counting it, that you
were not to be paid for your work till
the money WAS counted, do you know
when you would get your count done
We will tell you. 1t would take you
over 3s years to count it. What good
would this money do you if it took you
80 years steady counting. At 10 hours
every day, counting in Sundays to
earn your 10 per cent OF his wealth
You would be too old to appreciate IT
|
after yol got it. In this deal there
would be no holidays, no vacations, no
allowances for sickness, no leaves OF
absence. 1t means just over SO years
of continuous labor counting that
amount of money. We think MIR.
Rockefeller would be perfectly safe in
Offering to make such contract, for
it is a physical impossibility to find u
human being who could take con-
tract like that, and have any chance,
whatever, of completing it. The con-
: centrating the mind on that count for
over 80 years, even with the $50, 600, 600
reward at the end sure thing, I'VE
advise You not to undertake such q
contract if you have the chance) would
| end your days in q mad house. Monev
is only a medium of exchange, good
for nothing if you take away its buy
> ing quality. 1t is what you can put
e chase with money that makes it val
! liable. Do not try to emulate Rookie
:. feller but come in and start modest
bank account, add to it whenever yor
can from your savings and when the
time comes to retire from active labors
of life you will have enough to keep
e you during the few remaining year
you have. We will assist you to form
> habits of thrift, and when you do thi
n you will be on the way to independ
af ence. We would decline Mr.. Rookie
teller's pile If we had to sit down anc
)t count it under these conditions abov'
, named. Call at this bank and star
YOUR own bank account apd let Rookie
T. feller suffer trying to count It.

Parsons to drive for b. 4. Nc
Clanahan, We welcomed him with
outstretched arms, for his fame
had preceded him and he needed
no introduction. If he should sign
the express agents book for a case
of beer, he would write "James
Rushing" but many of his best
friends and admirers know him
only as "Whistling Jir," and he
lives up to his name,
He drives drummers over the
rough roads of Decatur and adj
joining counties, and he is a jewel
in his profession. Clothing, dry
goods, shoes and other lines fall
into his capable hands, and he
packs and unpacks the trunks
quicker than the quickest and bet
ter than the best. Whistling Jim
loves his work and the drummers,
and they love h1m.
Once drummer, who had driven
with him for months, asked the
stable boss ( for aioke) to give him
some other driver, and Jim cried.
When Whistling Jim was asked
who he had been driving, and he
replied, 1.-TWO drummers and a
gentleman" he meant no reflection
on the drupmeGs.
Whistling Jim drives for liv-
ing and whistles for pleasure and
because he can not help it. Like
the birds of springtime he whistles
because his heart is full of Joy, and
the lark, the robin, the thrush and
the mockingbird all duck and stand
from under when they see rather

tall, medium heigthed man of low
statute, with a dorid face, blue eyes
and sandy hair coming down the
road perched hieh on hack load
of trunks, and the old, but never
worn out melody, "Rear Back,
Davy, Your Daddy Shot q Bear"
DOSING in soulful numbers from
his tuneful lips.
Method in madness might be
applied to Whistling Jim as well
as other celebrities. He selects
his airs to suit the occasion or let's
circumstances pick ont his tunes
When he leaves the hotel with an
order for a weeks drive, "I've Got
Mine, Boys, I've Got Mine" rings
out on the night air, shrill and de-
Cant. When the other drivers have
stolen a march on him "When She
Left Me" is the tune sad, low and
plaintive. Soon on Sunday morn
ings "Nearer My God to Thee"
lulls to rest our earthly thoughts
of greed and gain and makes @s
feel the influence of better things
beyond. When the stable work is
over for the day "On the Happy
Golden Shore" pictures to the
mind a glimpse of the pearly gates
and golden streets that many q
preacher has tried in vain to por-
tray.
Sometime Whistlipg Jim will
have driven his last drummer and
whistled his last tune on earth,
but when he comes to the pearly
gates we think Saint Peter will
say to him, "Pass in and take a
front seat in the choir; we have
need of good whistlers like you in
there"
