"A speed of 1870 motions per minute,

motions are worked down the left side
of the cushion draught; the number of
threads is marked from left to right
along the top, and the maker reads the

posing, the exact motion of each thread
being recorded The paper on which
the motions are marked is then taken
to the puncher, who prepares the cards
accordingly. and the cards being placed
on the machine reproduce exactly the
same design. The machine is small,
entirely automatic and is only stopped

ton of bad impressions from wornout
type or plate disappears. 1t produces
automatically perfect justification"
in other words, spacing. In the case of
writers who can typewrite. no ques-
ton of difficult sclibbling occurs. For
the typewriting part being separate
from the castings. the author can write
on the machine and send over the per-
forated rolls to the office to be put into
the machines.
The machine has been vigorously test
ed by many practical men. who are
unanimous as to its speed, efficacy and
the quality of work it produces. The
economy that it effects is obvious. One
engineer can attend ten machines, each
working as fast as three compositors,
and much of the typewriting work will
probably be done by the authors, and
even without this the saving is enor-
nous.

Among the accomplishments of the
past year for western Montana, the con-
struction of the wagon road from Glib
louisville, Idaho, to the upper Bitter Root
valley must be accounted one of the most
satisfactory. The county of Ravalli built
the road from the Bitter Root valley to
the Idaho line, but could not appropriate
public funds for its construction into the
neighboring state. The people of Glib
louisville raised fund that did much of
the work on the other side of the range,
and the business men of Hamilton, Mis-
soula and other towns subscribed the
amounts necessary for the completing of
the work.
