New Student Union Building is Opened

cradle period prior to my momentous
appearance amid the sage brush and
prickly pear of that desolate region,
Silver Bow had served as a terminal
station. That was while the Utah &
Northern was being extended down Sill
yer Bow canyon and Deer Lodge valley
to Garrison and up Silver Bow creek to
Butte. The big station, remaining as it
had served terminal purposes, stood in
the southern angle of the Y connecting
the Butte branch with what was then
considered the main line. Especially
the wareroom was enormous, having
been thus built conveniently to handle
transfer of northbound freight, the
greater part of which was destined for
Butte. And, be it known, the Butte
traffic vas at that time increasing by
leaps and bounds. Butte was then a
humdinger of a camp. Everybody there
about, except boy telegraphers, was
getting rich.
I still shudder whenever I think of
that desolate nearly empty wareroom
hopelessly lost during a pitch dark,
cold wintry night.
In my anxiety to learn all about rail-
reading, and someday possibly becom-
ing general superintendent of some big
line, I overexerted myself. Not yet
wholly beyond my adolescence, I work.
ed myself into a strange condition OF
nerves. Before the end of my first six
months at Silver Bow I was doing prac-
tically all the station work, both day
and night. The actual labor was, OF
course, not great, and I suspect that
Mac did not realize that I was laboring
under too much nervous tension. He
was no shirker. It merely gradually
developed that I was on duty all the
time except when going to and from

the fuelless car into Basin just as the
clock in the steeple struck a very
early hour in the morning.
They found a building with a gaso-

He shouted out:
What do you want?"
Some gas. We are out"

But he came out. He was taking
down the hose when Mrs. Fletcher, t
a sweet and encouraging manner, said:
After all, isn't it your business 10
sell gas?"
Nuts to you," the enraged gas
vendor shouted. With that he slapped
the hose back on the pump and
pranced into the house.
It was an even "wee'er and smaller
hour" in the morning when the two
tired officials of state located another
Basin resident kind enough to allow
them a little gas from his private
tank.

In the life of every boy there are ex-

brain cells that during his old age they
stand out in his memory far more clear
" than the memories of happenings
which impressed him during his later
years. An old brain is so crowded with
old impressions as to leave little room
for new ones. Perhaps such under

Silver Bow was then and is yet a

desolate wareroom. But, with the COM

seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-
ritis and neuralgia. And the expert
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly: In your olDn interest e
