REPAIRS STILL GOING ON
Snow Played Havoc With Telephone Wires
Over the City.

The snow storm played havoc with tel
ephonc wires all over the city. The morn
ing after the snow wire charged with
a good healthy current became crossed
with a telephone wire and the switch
board was burned out in less time than
1t takes to tel it. Behind the switch
board Proper is arranged a system of
fuses, which consists of wires easily
melted by any extra current. They are
sufficiently heavy to allow the current

current burns them in two, and thus pre-
vents the instruments being damaged IN
amy way. So when the wires became
crossed the fuses were burned out and
communication cut off for few hours,
until new ones could be put in.
I About midnight the night of the snow
the majority Of the instruments be-

q bridge from one wire. to another. Had
II been hardly frozen il would not have
done this so readily. but being very damp

were started. The fuses at central in

circuit automa ticaly the moment an ex-
ira current strikes the wires at any
point.
Yesterday morning the snow had been
80 heavy that about sixty phones were
cut off. last night this had been reduced
to thirty, and il was expected that all
will be in running order by this evening.
The snow had piled UP on even the most
glsnder wire until il was heavy, damp,
glistening white mass three to four
Inches deep. The larger wires rescmblad
great white cables. The view of the net
work of wires about the corner of Main
and Douglas was sight such as may not
be seen in ten years again in this iocali-
". Every wire was thus heavily laden
and remained so until the first street car
came down. the jar being sufficient to

telephone wires which span the river 10
the south of the bridge were borne down
heavily with the snow. and even on this
long span il ali lay upon the wires.

10 be seen again IN a decade, the snow

The telephone line To Arkansas City

night all will be again as it was before

Railroad without Cars.

In the forest of Bridal Veil, Ore, not
far from the Dalles, there Is q rail-
road which does business without cars.
An article in the Northwestern Lum-
herman, describing the work of this
company, has a picture of train" on
the road, which consists of an ordinary
locomotive, such as are common on log
ging roads, and string of logs, each
log being as large in diameter as the
boiler of the engine. or larger. Boards
are nailed to the sleepers between the
rails, and on these the logs slide. Ex-
cept on descending grades. the boards
are CREASED, and the train moves at
good speed. Where the road is level
or slightly ascending, the engine pulls
the logs. and where it is descending it
holds them back. At the mills of this
company the manufactured lumber, re-
CARELESS of size, is run into a fiume,
and this is carried about two miles to
the planning mill and shipping yard,
the fume descending in that distance
about 1000 feet.

About three weeks ago a large force
Of laborers were taken down the Wich-
tia and Western railroad line to tear up
the track between Pratt Center and Mui-
linyiile, d distance Of forty railes. The
gang began at Mullinsville and worked
eastward, sending many car loads Of
steel rails 10 an eastern point over the
Santa Fe route. When the force reached
the Pratt county line, seventeen miles
from Pratt Center, an injunction was
served upon those in charge of the work,
and the lifting OF rails came to dead
stand-still. The people through legal
channels enjoined the railroad comany
from taking away property in which
they claim ownership through the vot-
ing Of bonds and taxation. The small
army OF workmen arrived in Wichita
yesterday morning and were disbanded
to await further developments.
Il may seem an adverse advertisement
TO record the tearing up of those miles of
railroad in Kansas. but il should be
horne in mind that this particular line
of road was projected into the plains
country during boom times, the Original
Intention having been to eventually ex-
tend the line to Albuquerque, New Mex
leo. r'he reversas which came 10 the
country, and railroad properties in par
tIcuidr, rendered the Wichita and West
ern extension stale, fiat and Improbable,
hence the removal of ties and rails.

Decline of q Health Resort.

The town of Mentone. in the south Of
France, has long been a resort FOR con-
sumptives- Lstterly, it is reported,
they have failed 10 derive much benefit
from stay in its borders, and the num-
Der Of such visits is greatly reduced.
1T is claimed that the soil OF the neigh
borhood has become impregnated with
germs, and that instead of giving re-
lief TO sufferers II is low the last place
On earth 10 which they should resort.
II is even stated that the natives of the
locality, who once presented such a
vigorous and hardy appearance. have
acquired the look of invaiids them
selves, and that disease is now req
nant where the best of health once pre-
vailed. The decline Of Mentone as a
health resort is cited as a conclusive
proof of the germ theory of disease"
