Conductor Tom Gleeson returned from Los Angeles and resumed his regular run between Milford .and Callente. "' Conductor Berkhimer went to Salt Lake this week on 'business, leaving on No. 20 Wednesday morning. morn-ing. Conductor Ernst has returned from the hospital and resumed 'his regular run between Lynndyl and Milford. Switchman F. W. Luedtke contemplates con-templates making a flying visit to Los Angeles within the next few days. Roy Cottrell has been doing the heavy at night in the car depart ment, and we believe that he likes this owl work. It is reported that a certain operator oper-ator In the X office In Salt Lake was robbed one night this week by a gentleman who called at his room with a flashlight and a six-shooting gun. The amount claimed to have been lifted from this operator was $70. We will be frank in saying that we don't believe any operator ever had that much money all at one time in his life. Gosh, but we do wish that Mc-Adoo Mc-Adoo would hurry up and let us know what that raise is going to be. One day we learn from unreliable unreli-able sources that it Is going to be a certain per cent; the next day we are informed by some wise guy that it is something else. We are getting get-ting nervous. We say this is good: One artist drew a hen so lifelike that it-could almost sing. The other artist drew a hen and then threw it in the waste basket, and it laid there. Considerable activity In the wool business Is noted in this territory. Buyers from eastern points are hard after all the wool they can get Good clips are going as high as 45, three-fourths being advanced on bill of ladings. Funny things do happen sometimes. some-times. Bought a dozen perfectly good eggs the other day; not a single one was cracked; all good and sound. Took them home and placed them in a bottom shelf of the kitchen cupboard. cup-board. The next day I heard a commotion in the kitchen, and upon investigating found my little dog playing with a real live little chicken. chick-en. I took the chicken outside looking for a mother hen, but found none so I placed the little chick with some other small ones. In about an hour I went back to the kitchen and found the dog playing with another little chick but of different color. Looking Into the sack of eggs I placed In the cupboard I found three more little chicks, and those eggs were perfectly good eggs when T placed them away. Five little chicks for sale cheap. Conductor Ernst just could not wait until he reached home to buy a Liberty Bond. He made his purchase in Los Angeles to the extent of one hundred dollars. Walking down one of our principal princi-pal streets some few days ago it was noticed at a certain private house our national flag had been placed on a pole and the flag, which was a most beautiful sight, taken to the breeze. It caused us to stop, right about face, attention, salute. This beautiful beauti-ful flag was a tonic and caused us to look further for others which might have adopted this same plan. We found one other of about the same size at a private residence on the hill. It was noticed that our business houses have neglected this matter of having the national emblem flown from their places of business. We also noted that in one or two instances in-stances where there had been flags, they had been permitted to remain out day and night and in one instance in-stance the dear old flag is today but a remnant, but what is left flies with the breeze as proud as the day it was first hoisted to the top of the flag pole.
