various divisions of the road. On the right
and left margins of the indicator are printed
descriptions of the trains. Through freight,
express, passenger, etc. To separate these,
lines are drawn across the board from right
to left and give it the appearance of great
chess board.
The object of the train indicator is to en-
able the car accountant to tell at any time
where any through train on the Northern
Pacific road is. To render this more sys-
tematic, simple device has been arranged
that is little more than a square block
of wood, in which several holes are
bored, hung on peg thrust into
hole in the board. These little blocks
represent trains and in the holes are placed
small pegs representing cars, and on the
top of the pegs letters are printed indicating
whether the car is baggage, passenger,
diner or sleeper. On the top of the block
is an arrow. which indicates the direction
in which the train is moving. There Is also
a dial, on which is written the hours.

there is no doubt of its triumph.
The Republican campaign in this county
has been conducted in queer fashion. Each
candidate has seemingly been afraid of being
caught away from home alone, and, as one
man expressed it, "had you drawn a shotgun
upon one of them you would have bagged the
whole party at one shot,. To candidates
alone has the Republican campaign been in
trusted, and no one else has cared to take
hand.

but very little. E. +. opened his eyes on
the world Oct. Is, 1884, and is consequently
81 years old, although one would think
that he was not more than 40 at the most
His early life was spent in cleaning knOwl-
edge in the public schools, farming
and steamboating. In II he entered
the employ of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee 81 st. Paul railroad and got his first
experience as a railroad man. He remained
in the employ of the road nine years. One
year he was station agent at Frontenac,
three years at Lake City and five years at
Red Wing. In August, 1880, he became
Northwestern agent for the Commercial Ex-
press ard Fast Freight line, Minneapolis
where he remained until April 9, 1882
when he accepted the position of general
freight agent of the Duluth road, which po-
sition he holds at present.
Mr.. Dodge is quiet, unassuming gentle
man, who knows his business thoroughly
and attends to it. His Office is on Fourth

and he can nearly always be found at his
desk, ready to tell a good story or talk

When train leaves st. Paul the block
is started in the st. Paul division, and as
the reports of the train dispatcher come in
from different points along the road, the
block is moved towards the Pacific coast,
keeping pace with the train as it moves
along the track. When car is added to
or detached from the train, a peg Is placed
in or taken from the block, and in this way
the accountant is able to tell every hour
the whereabouts of through trains and
their size.
There is another arrangement in the
room that shows the line of the road in
sections and the condition that it is in.
The whole system is under the eye of the
accountant continually, and he can tell
almost as much about it as he could if he
could sweep the line from st. Paul to
Portland with telescope.
