TRAIN AND MAIL SERVICE
Work Of Repairing Local Railway About
Completed and Eureka In Meantime
Being Given Temporary Mail
Service

Repair of the washed~out grade and
bridges of the local railway in Pine
Valley is now reported progressing
favorably and the management plans
to start a train out of Palisade next
Monday with twelve loads and two
engines. In this train there will be
one a of hay for each of the stock
men along the line of the road who
have had their hay tied up at Pail
SADIE. and the balance will be COM
posed of cars of merchandise and
machinery for distribution along the
line of the road. Two engines will
be used and it is not expected to
reach Eureka until Tuesday. There
is quite an accumulation of freight
at Palisade and it is intended to clean
this up as fast as possible after regu-
lar train service is resumed.
The Postal Department entered
into an arrangement with Tony Siri
last Sunday for a temporary twice-a-
week mail service between Palisade
and Eureka and the mail was brought
into Eureka that afternoon on the
motor II. The motor car brought
the mail in again Wednesday. and it
is now understood that it will arrive
in Eureka with mail again tom prov.
This will probably end the temper
airy mail service. for with the regular
train service resumed next week it
will be brought in every trip that a
train runs over the road.

Killed Rabid Lynx Cat

Andrew D. Crofut writes the SEN
TINEL from Birch. on the east side of
Diamond Valley, and gives the fol-
lowing account of an experience last
week with a rabid lynx eat:
had an exciting experience with
a rabid lynx cat this morning while
feeding our cattle. | drove the team
up to the hay corral gate and was
about to get down and open it when
| saw u dog running toward me
from the haystack, and behind him
was a big lynx cat. The cat was fol-
lowing at full speed. making 20 feet
to a leap. The dog ran under the
wagon and the cat sprang upon the
back of one of the horses, scratching
and clawing at him. The team be-
gan to u and were beyond my con-
troll. tearing down the hay corral
fence and making off through the
brush at top speed. The cat rode
the horse for perhaps a hundred
yards, when he fell off and ran back
toward the hay stack. My brother,
Fred, was attracted to the scene
with a shotgun. The cat advanced
toward him growing. and with his
tail and the hair on his neck standing
straight up. But a charge of shot
laid him low. He proved to be one
of the largest cats we have ever
seen in all u experience.

ROUTON is WINNER
IN GROVE CONTEST
Much Enthusiasm AZ. Inter-Class Con-
test Last Friday Night; Miss Man
ming Was Young Lady Winner.
(By Loren McGehee)

If someone CHANGED b pass the
Dixie last Friday night abount nine
o'clock unconscious of the noise with
in-then that person could sleep I'M
disturbed in a jungle Of roaring
lions and screaming wildcats. There
would be tense, silent moment just
long enough for one speaker to give
his piece in courteous quietude, then
such a wild scream would go up and
hundred and fifty enthusiastic stu
dents voices would ring together in
to a sound ike a scream, a moan, or
a wild yell,
Probably no good chorister would
think Of having his choir sing four
different songs at one time, but, that
is music to a poppy classman's ears.
To be civilized in ones speech, the
Inter-Glass Contest Friday night was
"a very happy success. The boys,
with the exception of Charlie Jen-
kins, who was toorill to speak, were
splendid. Tbeif orations were all so
well given, hnd Earl Routon, Senior
was decided the best speaker and
was awarded "a very practical prize,
some handsome cuff links, The girls
were all simply lovely in their dam
ty dresses, but indeed these did not
detract for their delightful styles Of
elocution. Miss Woodie Manning,
Sophomore, won and was given a
beautiful bar ping Yes, the contest
is over, the gay crepe ribbons and
classes electric signs are, things Of
the past, and towhat now must we
look forward? Why, the end of
school, of course, only two more
months after March 9Th.
The patriotic enthusiasm that ev-
cry student experienced on Novem-
Der 18th which PROMPTED so many
to pledge five dollars for the Earn
and Give Campaign has evidently
waned. Mr.. Clements gave certif-
Gates to those who had paid their
sum in full, and only fifty students
received these.
A committee composed of the class
presidents and three of the faculty
has been appointed to decide about
the disposition Of the thirty-four dol
lars cleared from the proceeds of the
contest OF course it will be used
for school purposes, and we are sure
the decision win bring about the very
best benefits.
