DEPOT DOINGS.


President Farrell of the Union Pa
cific, in his private car, and J. H.
Dyer, general manager of the South
ern Pacific, in his car, arrived Thurs
day evening. With them were J. W..
Metcalf division superintendent of
the Shasta division, and C. A. Wester,
division engineer, and John NJ. Scott,
general passenger agent, Agent Kra-
mer met the visitors on arrival and
did the honors.
James Monroe, manifest clerk at
the S. P. station, has been laid up
with the grippe for the past few days.
Otto Brandt, travelling passenger
agent for the Union Pacific, was a
visitor at Agent Kramer's sanctum
sanctorum at the s. P. depot Thurs
day He is an old friend of Mr.. Kra-
mer's. Mr.. Shoemaker of the Mis-
souri, Pacific was another friend who
stopped in between trains to renew
old friendships.
There is a rumor going the rounds
that an additional switch engine is to
BIT put on in the Ashland yards. The
freight traffic Is the heaviest in
number Of years and no prospects of
a letup are ahead, as the car short
age still runs up to an immense total
despite determined efforts to over
come it. Cooperation of shippers
with the railroads in heavy loading
and expeditions moving of cars is
helping, but still the shortage re-
mains. Another switch engine would
mean additional switchmen.
Harry Sayles is swinging a lantern
ON the local switchmen force.
Striped overalls are fast replacing
the plain blues of other days. Uni
versity striped material is all the
rage. A car shortage is bad enough,
but an overall shortage would no
doubt cause the government to take
over the railroad. The price of over
alls is going up along with other
things.
One hundred and ninety something
cars were in the yards at one time
during a recent night.
All nonunion employees Of the
Southern Pacific will share in bo-
nus this Christmas to the extent OF
10 per cent Of their yearly salary

tions.
OF the Southern Pacific 10 pei
cent bonus to its employees 100000

annually.
: Trains both north and south bound
were late Friday owing to storms in
the mountains and to the heavy

CONDUCTOR SAVES BOYS LIFE.

Holding small boy by the wrist,
f, j. Radford, a freight conductor
on the st. j. & L. C. railroad, took
a flying leap from the top of his
moving train in Hardwick. 1t was
the only chance of saving the bows
life, but it was big risk for Mr..
Radford, who miraculously escaped
with only few scratches and minor
bruises. The lad was unhurt.
AS the train pulled out of the
Hardwick station the conductor saw
a small Italian boy climb up on the
side of the car for a ride, The train
began to move rapidly and the boy,
unable to land, hung by his hands.
In an instant he would have been
dashed to the track. Mr.. Radford
went down the side of the car, caught
him by the wrist, and threw himself
and the boy to the ground.

AUTOMOBILE CAUSES DEATH.
John P. Quinlan of Shelburne
Falls, Ga, was fatally injured at Bur-
lngton Saturday night when a horse
attached to the buggy in which he
was riding bolted and jumped into
the path of an automobile driven by
Graham Wilson of Burlington. Henry
Lessor of East Charlotte, who was
driving the horse escaped with minor
injuries. The accident it is said was
caused by the mad driving of a speed
maniac, whose car, a heavy touring
machine passed the buggy just before it
reached Wilson's car, terrorizing the
horse and causing him to bolt. Wilson
was driving north and the buggy was
headed south. The unknown car with
especially bright light passed the
Wilson auto like flash and short dis
lance behind it came the horse, plung-
ing across the road into the path of the
Wilson car. In an attempt to avoid
the collision Mr.. Wilson pulled his
machine to the left but the animal
jumped in the same direction, plung-
ing into the car, which at the time had
been brought almost to standstil.
The collision threw both men from the
buggy.

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, invigor- ating air and exercise must take pre- caution to guard against over stout ness, as fat acquired by indoor life is unhealthy and a danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to weaken the oxygen carrying power of the blood, so that it is unable to produce strong mus cles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the re- suit
 If you are 15 or 20 pounds above nor mal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are constant ly lowering your vitality by carrying this excess burden. Any persons who are satisfied in their own mind that they are too stout are advised to go to any good druggist and get a box of oil of korein capsules, and take one after each meal and one just before retiring at night.
