Gee WhiIIikins! To say the very least!

I'm going to find out whether that man comes from New England Or the vicinity of New York If the latter, his belief that everybody who has the chance will cozen him is not to be wondered at But if he comes from some New England point, I'm going to hunt up an old buriap, as the handiest available substitute for sacEclCth and wrap myself up in 1t. Then I'm going to sit out half-an-hOuT on my front steps and let passing au- rOmObileS sprinkle me with sprays and drifts of read dust as a substitute for ashes.
 Certainly. as myself a trucker and peddler. it's a situation which calls for either Hcb-aic sackcIoth and ashes or something as near @s mod ern conditions will afford
 There's nothing inherent in fruit and vegetables to infect the souls Of their distributors with dishonesty. They are no more 'piz'n" to the moral sense than sugar or salt.

Special to The BuIletin.)

New London, August 25.-Com- pl2iuts are being made against the blowing of locomotive whistles late at night and early in the morning, by res tdents of the PequCt section and in Ocean, MOntauk and PeQu1t avenues, on the ground that it is not necessary IQ connection with the operation of the freight trans, which do the most blowing, and that the whiStling dis turbS the slumber of the compliments and is nerve raCking. If this Whistling at unreasonable hours is not necessary in connection with the operation of the trains and the safety of the public no doubt it will be discontinued by order of the railroad company and without any action on the part of the court of common council, as repre- sGntirS the city.
 It was the custom years ago for the locomotives on all passenger trains on leaving or arriving at the passen- ger station, to blow their whistles, and then residents along Bank street were the sufferers. This custom became a COntoundCd nuiCGnCc, but appeal to the railroad officials was without result Among the compliments was an old gentleman naraed John B. Thurston. prominent in the social and political life of the city and, he with few others of prominence, brought the matter to the attention of the railroad ECIIliilSSlelGFS. mere was . DuDlC meeting in the council chamber of the old city hall and as a result, the To- cOmotives dropped the custom of sounding their whistles upon departure and arrival at the passenger station.
 At that time the blowing of Ioco- motive whistles at the station was considered just as necessary as is the whistling of an excursion steamer up on arrivaL to give warning of coming, "ld the sounding of the whistle before departure so that none of the pas Sengers would get left. This rail- load custom has long since passed away and tho trains, and many more or them than in the old whistling days come and go from New London and without the noisy and proven unnec- essary locomotive whistling. If this night whistlinr by frei4ht locomotives is not absolutely necessary it ought +o he stopped, ard it probs ply will be. after investigation by the railroad officials

Twin Falls, Nov. 15.-At a conference
held here Monday afternoon between
the directors of the Twin Falls Com
mercial club and r. F. Lewis, of San
Francisco, attorney for the Guggen-
helm interests in Jarbidse, New, the
club determined to take UP the pro-
position, heretofore discussed, to an
mex 16 townships of Owyhee county
to Twin Falls county. 1t is proposed to
do this with view to permitting Twin
Falls county to improve the Jarbidge
road to the Nevada line. 1t is under
stood that the Long Hike company.
which is controlled by the Guggen-
helms, plans the construction of about
~ miles of road inside Nevada along
a new grade. which will enable it to
ship heavy machinery into the camp.

country, but has been retarded by bad
transportation facilities. The part of
Owyhee county where it is proposed
to annex lies a great distance from the
county seat and 1t is understood that
there will be no opposition to it's an
nexation by Twin Falls county. Owyhee
county will not spend money to i'm
prove the road and the people in the
district want to change into Twin Falls
to get better roads.
The matter will be presented to the
county commissioners of the two
counties and later, IL there Is no hitch,
to the legislature. Mr.. Lewis left for
Boise Monday night to look after busi-
ness of his company. The Long Hike
Is taking measurements in order to

HARD TRIP IN THE SNOW.
Auto With Four Passengers Dltched
But Finally Gets THROUGH.


c. M. Peterson made a trip by auto
in Cottonwood and Arco Friday, having
as passengers E. L. Vancil, Mrs. John
Higgs and her sister, Mrs. Harger.
Returning to Haley Mr.. Peterson
left Arco at 4:3o in the afternoon and
did not arrive in this city until 10 p. m.
Near Cottonwood he ran into a severe
snow storm. In comparatively brief
time four to five inches of snow fell.
and it was almost impossible to keep
the road. He ran his car off the road
In one place and got into a ditch. He
worked for half an hour getting the car
In the road again.
The snow was falling so fast that he
could see no distance ahead, and had a
very close call from colliding with a
team and wagon.
He ran out of the snow storm before
reaching Carey, and found practically
no snow on the ground at that point,
but the temperature was very low.
Some snow fell at Shoshone, but 1t
soon disappeared, and was followed by
very cold wave.-Hailey News Miner.
