caught between two serious washouts.
one at Pocatello and the other at Indian
Creek, three days before. and had to
wait at Glance Ferry for track repairs
along the line before they could proceed.
Glenna Ferry is a bleak little railroad
and slider: herders’ town of 800 or 400
inhabitants. situate on a sagebrush
bluff overlooking the unspeakably dark
and dreary Snake river.
The five stalled trains curried 600
passengers of as miscellaneous a charac-
ter as could be gotten together at a
carefully selected congress of types.
There were emigrants sud millionaires;
soldiers on the move; dainty women in
palace cars and women bound for Creede
and Cripple Creek in day coaches; min-
ers who killed time during the wait in
shooting magpies circling over the
Snake river; Shoshone Indians travel-
ing to the limits of their reservation;
well behaved and quiet people. noisy
and tumultuous people. But all were
stuck alike. and they made the best of it.
Lines of social demarcation were for
the time erased. All hands mingled
easily on the little station platform and
in the little station waiting room. The
supply of food m the dining cars gave
out the first day of the bitch. and every-
body was fed. and well fed, too, in the
station eating room. They sat down at
the tables in relays and patiently
awaited their turns.
The railroad employees and their
wives were to give a dance at the little
town hall on St. Patrick’s night. The
switchman 11th had been customarily
employed to fiddle for them had been
switched to another division. In aqnan-
dary. the dance committee toured the
trains and station to ascertain if any of
the stalled passengers happened to be

sleeping cars they came across an artistic

know of any on the train? Well. he
didn’t know (in outrageously bud Eug-
lish); he played a little himself once in
awhile,. and had rather a fair fiddle
with him. The long haired man accent-
ed the “fiddle" rather curiously. But
the railroadmen were overjoyed. Would
he play for them to dance with their
wives and sweethearts? Certainly! Did
he know dance music? Well, some.
All of the stalled passengers were in-
vited to the dance. and they all went.
A good many of them could not get in.
The baggily clothed fiddler turned up
in good time. The pianist was waiting
for him. So was the railroad dnncc
committee, one of the members of which
slipped $3 in one dollar bills into the
fiddler's hand as payment in advance

his accompanist that he was getting

began to prick up his cars at the sweet-

dances were common enough and tawdry

floor stopped dead at the first bar. and

The management of the vineyard is

the owner himself gives personal super- ;
vision to every detail. Sometimes a ‘
manager or overseer performs these du~

who is compelled to hire help to do each
little thing in addition to buying his
baskets.
The Concord grape is the only variety
of any ocusequcnco raised in this region,
and some idea of the magnitude of the
business carried on maybe had when it
is known that the shipments for one
your from Chautauqua county alone
will amount to 3,500 cat-loads. 3,000
baskets of 10 pounds each in each car.
These are taken from the grower by
some one of the numerous growers’ 11s-
scciutions, whose business it is to find a
market. Strange as it. may seem. it is
nevertheless true that three-fourths of
them go to points west of Chicago. while
the other one-fourth travels eastward.
The making of baskets is an impor-
tant item. Many factories are employed.
The price ranges from 2 to 25' cents per
basket. Thus the grower who would find
his business in any way profitable must,
in addition to the cost of the basket,
realize at least 1 cent 'per pound for his
grnpcs. while today it Is a common
thing to find 11 ten pound basket on the

Thus we find that the utmost care must
