been in Weiser many times during
the past few years; at first travelling
for j. K. Gill & Co., and afterwards
for the Pacific Vinegar Co. His po-

to keep the public thoroughly in
touch with our 'philosophic reason,
and our X-ray machine will always
be loaded. The latest reports in
circulation are to the effect that
eight new steel bridges have been
ordered. This statement is erron-
eous-with few very inexpensive
changes only. Two will be required
between Weiser and Cambridge. BY
simply returning to the customs OF
earlier times, it will be found that
as historical fact, bridges of very
fair capacity can be constructed
from good sound timber-and the
use of this excellent material has
been suggested as substitute for
imported steel. The fact of the
matter is that our new X-ray machine
is getting in its work faster than we
can take it for immediate use-but
our automatic recorder will carefully
preserve all observations, and the
public who so generally rely on the
SIGNAL for authentic information
will be fully posted on all develop
ments, and our added philosophical
reasons will be clear as mud.

vANDERBILTs CONTROL N. Y. CENTRAL.
P. P. Shelby Still in the Saddle as General
Manager Of the P. & l. N.

Local railway affairs are at present
very quiet, and the only really def
mite, positive Information on the
matter, is gained from those who
don't know anything. A ''prophet of
unerring accuracy. is just what this
country needs, and needs badly.
But there is in every community a
class that do not have the faith re-
quired to make prophecy of this, or
any other kind, matter of. belief.
We can only state positively one
thing regarding the interests of the
P. q |. N, and that is that at pres
ent, it Is not likely the line will be
extended the coming year any fur
ther than the rails will reach. This
information was given to the SIGNAL
confdentially, and the confidence is
only betrayed i'm this instance, be-
cause our desire to satisfy public
anxiety is paramount to everything
The SIGNAL is frequently troubled in
this manner. One thing we had al
most forgot-the report that the P. &
|. N had bought out the Short Line
system is not correct; the rumor was
false, all for stock gambling pur-
poses. The new stock yards at Cam
bridge will be built if good common
two-inch pine plank and substantial
wood posts used.
The current report that only steel
and cut stone would be used for these
yards is mistake, and we are au-
thorized- to state the post holes
will not be imported. Home INDUS
try will thus be promoted The
SIGNAL knows thing or two about
the intentions of the Vanderbilts, as
to certain things, and has offered the
information for sale-no takers vet.
If we could engage ga prophet of
unnerrng accuracy" that would in
spire the needed confidence Ga large
quantity by the way) we might make
rake off, but we do not feel the
least anxiety in this particular, for
we are certain that the information
will keep and be worth fully as much
next spring. The rumor that the
Northern Pacific will build up the
Salmon and Little Salmon, and south
to connection with the P. &. |. N.
on Sam Denny's ranch, and then put
in a double track so as to reverse
the curves, is all bosh, and done
probably to injure Wabash stock,
and excite the public. The SIGNAL
has all the special means of infor-
nation that money can secure-and
then some. No efforts will be spared

never speak to me again, and swear
can't keep on rowing her out on the
lake every morning without making
love to her. She's one of the noblest
girls in the world. tell you, Elliot.
You ought to see the way she treats

oarsman-and the way she looks at
me sometimes!"

sympathetic Elliot, "if were you I'd

you may be sure she loves you for
yourself alone. 1t may be a danger

BURNING WEEDS.

Method Of Destroying Them in Use BY
Railroads.
At this season. of the year one is
reminded of the annual contest wage1
against growing vegetation to preserve
railway tracks in clean condition. Es-
pecially is this true of the dirt-bai.
lasted tracks in the western states
where the expense. entailed in keeping
vegetation down by grubbing with a
shovel is a formidable figure, COM
pared with the expense of the same
work where tracks are ballasted with
good quality Of gravel. For many
years western roads have resorted to
numerous experiments for killing veg
citation, with machinery, the most
successful of which has been the
scheme of subjecting it to scorching
heat produced by burning crude pc
troleum under a shield carried few
inches above the track. Machines of
this description are used on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul; Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago
Great Western roads. In the construc-
ton of this weed burner use is made
of an ordinary fiat car, on the front
end of which Gas it runs in service) is
mounted an upright thirty-horse-pow-
er boiler and pair of engines. By
means of sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car is made self-propelling. After
some experience it was found neces-
sary to connect the second axle of the
truck with the first, or that driven by
the engine, by means of a, sprocket
chain, in order to overcome slipping
due to the looping of long weeds over
the rails. By this means of locomo-
ton a speed of from ten to twelve
miles per hour is easily made, as
when running for stations to meet
| passing trains. The water supply for
| the boiler and for extinguishing fires,
which may be set accidentally, is car
ried in a wooden tank in the center
of the car. On top of this tank there
are two air reservoirs, and inside OF
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus-
pended from rear platform, built
upon four Trails. The shield and
burners are hung from the outer end
of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de-
sired height from the rail. The burn
ers are easily taken down when it Ii
desired to couple the car in with
train. The oil tank for supplying OF
to the burners is located inside the
rear cab or just in rear of the water
! tank.
