Well, Luke decided that cow-boy life was a thing of the past with him, so he rambles down the street one lav this week with a complete cowboy cow-boy outfit and left it for sale. Excuse Ex-cuse me, everything that makes a cow-boy happy but a six-shooter and Luke had already disposed of that. Government Trainmaster W. F. Farrier was in Milford on Government Govern-ment business this Week. Mr. Douglas White was in Milford this week looking up a business proposition. prop-osition. Mr. White will do all he can for MUford and its inland towns. Keep your eye on Dug. Safety First In last week's Issue we made mention of small children who frequent the railroad yards and those especially who try to secure ice while the cars are being iced. Our investigation develops the fact that residents of Milford are a party to the cause of these small children going go-ing to he railroad yards for ice. People offer these small children money to get them ice. This naturally natur-ally causes the kids to take desperate chances. Stop bribing the children and save a life. The longest stretch of railroad in the world without a curve Is In New Zealand, where there is a distance of 136 miles In a perfectly straight line. This fact is remarkable, when It is taken Into consideration that New Zealand Is one of the most difficult countries in the world for railroad construction, as It Is very mountainous, mountain-ous, necessitating sharp curves and very heavy grades. The Beaverltes were making dead sure that Milford did not get a chance to steal the 145th Artillery band away from them. They had the band boys take the back route Into Beave'r. THAT BACK PAY The railroad boys are getting sort of blue Because that back pay-check is over ov-er due. Each month they watch with eagle eye, and then Go home with sober countenance again. And oft use words too strong to print today, Then wait another month for that back pay. And. then again, the 15th drawing near, Once more things brighten each is filled with cheer. The hogger on his cushion, onward bound, Has back-pay visions as he wheels go round. Conductors as their train goes on its way Have hopes that they will get it all some day. Too fireman, as he scoops the dusky dus-ky ore Counts up what's due, and faith runs high once more. One thing is certain and the rest is lies, The pay is due and will materialize, But some are likely to sprout hairs of gray In service, while they're waiting for back pay. The following engines are now in the hospital: 3640, 3664, 3425, 340S, 8607. S59. 8502, 3400, 3411. 3603. Soon as additional nurses can be secured se-cured these crips will be seen performing per-forming again: Engineer Killam is having the secret se-cret works of the 3603 changed. This will put her in the running again. The grasshoppers have for the past week retarded the work of the day switching crew considerably on account ac-count of the 'hoppers getting on the rails causing the goat to do a great deal of slipping. A party went into a business house some few days ago and asked to make a purchase of a certain garment. gar-ment. The-boss while talking to the customer took out his pencil and raised the price of the garment twenty-five cents. We call this good business, but he failed to make the sale. All the pay checks for the month of June had a hump in their back. This was caused from the increase the boys received. News Reporter: For a point of information, infor-mation, can a Government employe be garnlsheed for debts? Reader. Reader: I understand that they cannot. can-not. But this does not release the! party from meeting his obligations. The Government is very strict along those lines. News Reporter. . News Reporter: What is the difference differ-ence between an automobile back firing fir-ing and a Salt Lake Route engineer recently promoted? Hogger. Hogger: Absolutely no difference as they are all back firing now.: News Reporter. R. J. Adair, machinist at the local shops, was transferred to Las Vegas shops. F. Dewey, roundhouse foreman at Caliente, was transferred to Provo as roundhouse foreman vs. J. J. Blake. As The Waiter Says It The waiter who bawls out his order or-der to the cook in the kitchen may soon be as extinct as the dodo; but his cries should live forever. "Mutton broth in a hurry," says a customer. "Baa-baa in the rain! Make him run!" shouts the waiter. "Beefsteak and onions," says a customer. "John Bull! Make him a ginny!" shouts the waiter.! "Where's my baked potato?" asks a customer. "Mrs. Murphy in a sealskin seal-skin coat!" shouts the' waiter. "Two fried eggs. Don't fry 'em too hard," says a customer. "Adam and Eve in the garden! Leave their eyes open!" shout3 the waiter. "Poached eggs on toast," says a customer. "Bride and groom on a raft!" shouts the waiter. "Chicken croquets!" says a customer. cus-tomer. '"Fowl ball!" shouts the waiter. "Habh," says a customer. "Gentleman "Gentle-man wants to take a chance!" shouts the waiter. "I'll have hash, ,.oo," says the next customer. "Another sport!" shouts the waiter. "Glass of milk," says a customer. "Let it rain!" shouts the waiter. "Frankfurters and sauerkraut, good and hot," says a customer. "Fido. Shep and a ?ale of hay!" shouts the waiter, "and let 'em slz-tle!" slz-tle!" - - |
