GOODBYE TO PASSES.

On the 10th of May the railway
passes that had been issued to state
officials and favorite sons of the
state were called in and Dthey awill
now pay their fareclike other, people.
1t is estimated that this will add
fifty thousand dollars to the expense
of conducting the state and county
governments in the statelpand it will
go a long way toward paying the
taxes Of the Short Line in those
school districts where the railroad
pays nearly all the school expenses.
1t puts people on an equality in
travelling, and observes will look on
with interest to see who travels less
by reason of the change.
This is the result of the operation
of the new public utility bill enacted
by the last legislature, and is one of
the first steps in the direction of
equalizing things.

Ben Boiling who lives west OF town
has been losing his chickens and set
a trap to catch the thief. Wednesday
morning he found some animal yank-
ing the trap around and he spread
the message that he had caught
cougar.
X. P. Brown got rig and invited
] H. Early, D. L. O'Neil, A. H. Sim
mons, and Walton Mario to go with
him to see the cougar. When they
arrived at Boling's they found it was
Robert Fleming's dog, Kueger by
name, and he was very penitent,
about as much disgusted with him
self as were the visitors who were
taken in by Ben's joke.
Robinson's three ring circus will
be here, Tuesday and the fellows can
probably recover from their disap-
pointment then. Go boys and see the
monkeys.

BRANCH ROAD EXCURSIONS TO
ROBINSON CIRCUS.

So much interest has been shown
in the Yankee Robinson circus billed
for Blackfoot for Tuesday May goth
that the Short Line has made ar
rangements for special train service
on the Mackay branch and the Aber-
deem branch, with low rates for the
round trip.
On the Aberdeen Motor the rate
will be only two cents mile each
way, and it will run on it's regular
schedule, putting visitors into town
in time to see the circus arrive and
unload the menagerie. This will be
greatly appreciated by the young
people who have never seen the great
cages handled at the trains. 1t will
be worth the price to the farmer boys
to see all these things.
A request has been made to the
passenger department to have the
freight on the Mackay Branch leave
Mackay early in the morning and car
ry passengers at reduced rate, put
ting them into Blackfoot in time for
the parade at noon, but this has not
yet been assured.
A request has also been made tc
have the Aberdeen Motor double
back from Aberdeen during the time
it usually waits at that place, but
this has not yet been assured at the
time of going to press.
