Entertain at High-Five.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Halligan en
tertained about forty friends at
a card party last evening, and a
very pleasant affair it proved to
be. Eight tables were put in
use for those who desired to play
high-five, while two or three
other tables were used by those
who indulged in "bachelor maid"
and kindred games.
The high-five was of the pro
gressive nature, and while a
record of the games won by each
one was kept, no prizes were
offered, which in our opinion is a
very sensible action. The offering-
of prizes frequently has a
tendency to destroy the sociabil
ity of the game.
Refreshments were served at
eleven o'clock and at midnight
the parly dispersed. The guests
were in the best of humor, stiff
formality was absent, and these
with the hospitality displayed by
Mr. and Mrs. Halligan made the
evening a most delightful one.

ranch atHershey and then back
to town.
Mr. Hershey's lifc-in Lincoln
county has been one of push and
energy, and hnancially it Has
been very successful.
In advance of the celebration
we extend the wish to Mr. and
Mrs. Ilershey that they may live

versary. The hens of Lincoln county
lave formed a trust and forced
the price of eggs up to seventeen
cents a dozen.
Quite a number of Maxwell

Sixth street west of the Salis

Election, which is now but ten
days off, is engrossing the atten
tion of the people, and little talk
other than politics can be heard
upon the streets. This condi
tion makes it almost impossible
for the newsgathorer to secure
much local news.
A physician advances the
theory that the extremely dry
weather we have had this fall
has resulted id keeping- the num
ber of sick in town down to a low
figure. The lack of moisture has
resulted in vegetation drying- up
instead of decaying, and less
fever germs have resulted.

The farmers in his section raised
more or less corn, none of them, we
believe having a total failure.

Jas. Gttihcr, a boilcrinakcr, quit
work yesterday and will seek other
fields of labor.
The first consignment of material
for the new Union Pacific ice house
was unloaded on the site in the
west end of the yard Wednesday.
The fruit companies will quit
icing refrigerator cars at this
station on November 1st, The
icing necessary will be done at
Ogdcn.
The local receipts ot freight have
very heavy this week, coal, salt,
furniture and potatoes in carload
lota forming the bulk of the
receipts.
The fence gang which has been
doing work west of here in charge
of Boyd Dickinson has returned to
town and will assist in building
the new ice house.
There is a icvival of the rumor
that the Union Pacific will put in
an clccttic light plant for its own
use in the Bhops and yards. While
this move has been talked of for
some time, we learn from an ap
parently reliable source that it is
now an assured fact and that the
plant will be installed in the im
mediate future.
The working force in the Union
Pacific shops is below the average,
due to'thc fact that it is impossible
to get machinists and boilcrmakcrs.
In each ot these departments there
is a shortage of four or fiye men.
The men who are sent here seem to
be of a roving disposition, and
knowing that work all over the
country is easily obtained they do
not tarry lonpr at any one place.
Scuumaker'tt resignation from the
fruit express company and accept
ing a position with the Union Pa
cific company ' at a lower salary
gives ribc to the rumor that the
fruit bu&iiiesB will hereafter be
handled by the railroad companies
and not by the fruit transportation
companies in other words tqe
atter companies will be a thing of
the past.
Horace G. Burt, of the Union
Pacific, haB just had the degree of
civil engineer conferred upon him
by the Michigan university. Mr.
Burt was a student of that institu
tion years ago and was compelled
to quit, whereupon he joined a
eurvcying party of the C. & N. Ry.
He failed to complete his course,
but having' by a steadfast purpose
and honest effort worked his way
to the presidency of one of the
greatest roads of the country, he
was very properly deemed worthy
the recognition which the univer
sity has just given him.
