STOPS FLIRTING By WHISTLE
Jersey Towns Counsel Objects to En-

Wives and SWeethearts.

Harrison. N. 1.-THE town council
has instructed Peter Goodman, the
town clerk, to request Lackawanna
engineers passing through here to dis
continue their whistle signal system
to wives and sweethearts.
Some Of the engineers employ only a
series Of toots. Others use a dot and
dash arrangement like the Morse tele-
graph code. When the whistles shrek
the feminines concerned dash to WIN
dows and wave their replies.
This performance in the daytime is
annoying to many. since none of the
trains In question stop. here. and
here 10 no excuse for the whistling.

this farm was improved and since
then $4,000 has been refused for the

It would be too much to expect that the territory which has made such a notable addi- tion to the worlds hoard of gold should become producer of cattle and other live stock on scale big enough tt offset the decline in the American meat supply. But there is no sounu reason, except the cold winters, why Alaska, with her 100000 square miles of good grazing lands, should not de- Velop cattle grazing industry of large proportions.
