E. P. RAILROAD MATTERS

On account of poor telephone
service between Eureka and
Palisad de the Sentinel is unable to
furnish its readers this week with
any defnate news regarding the
progress of the work being done in
rebuilding the Eureka & Palisade
Railroad. An attempt to talk
with its correspondent at Palisade
yesterday afternoon was without
result, the line working so poorly
that 1t was next to impossible to
understand a word.
Agent S. G. Dye of Eureka
informed the Sentinel that he had
learned earlier in the week that
the full force of men and teams
werc at work on the road, but he
understood not as much progress
was being made as last week.
Only about four inches of snow
fell at Palisade and in Pine Valley
during the recent storm, but that
section was previously visited by
an unusually cool snap and il is
thought this hardened and frozc

The Sentinel learned this week
that after the roadbed has been
completed from Palisade to
Mineral Station there will be little
rebuilding work necessary on the
balance of the so miles into
Eureka, except at a few short
stretches near Alphn and at the
Slough near Diamond Station,

The stahbing was done with a
pocketknife. Baily's arm being So
badly cut that a number of IKE
tendons of the arm were severed.
The fight in which Baily was

FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered thier new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one
long uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But alas. the young brides troubles
soon began, when she tried to reduce
the cost of living with cheap big can
baking powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and It was
not all baking powder, for the bulk Of
il was cheap materials which had no
leayening power. Such powders win
mot make light, wholesome food. And
because Of the absence Of leavening
gas, It requires from two or three
times as much to raise cakes or bis
cults as 1t does OF Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventutliy, the actual cost to
you, Of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave
the bread bleached and acid. some
times yellow and alkaline, and often
unpalatabIe. They are not always d
uniform strength and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-tht
perfectly wholesome baking powder
moderate in price and always uniform
and reliable. Calumet keeps indefin
