aged by the unusually pleasant
weather at this time of the year, your
correspondent made trip north into
the southern part of town of Wright
on Friday before Christmas. This
part is settled principally by Swedes.
Fifteen years ago this settlement was
wilderness, and one could see only
a little shanty looming up here and
there. No one who saw this stretch
of country then would know it now,
unless he has kept an eye on the
development that has taken place.
Everywhere one can see comfortable
farm houses, red painted barns, cul-
tivated fields, and here and there
towering straw stacks, while farm
animals of all kinds tramp about
seeking their food in the straw or on
the open prairie. " 81,
Near j. Lindstrom's farm is a
small elevation, or sand ridge, which,
before the settlers occupied the land,
was favorite spot and camping
ground for the Red Man. Under the
shade of his wigwam, has many a
noble Indian reclined Oh this spot
and smoked his pipe, while his squaw
has skinned the wild animals and
tanned the hide, and the pappoose
lay in the sunshine. But these
things have passed away, and will

Electric Head Lights.
Grand Trunk Railway Adopts New
Enuinment for IFS Locomotives

Grand Trunk Railway Adopts n New
Equipment for Its Locomotives.
The passenger locomotives of the Grand
Trunk Railway system are about to be
equipped with electric headlight. One al
ready has been altered, and is now at
work in the Montreal and Portland night
passenger service. In addition to all the
we'll known appliances ensuring safety
and convenience in train operating it
possesses complete electric lighting
apparatus, consisting of II powerful cleo
trio lighted head lamp and number of
incandescent lamps. The latter have
been placed in the cab of the locomotive
for the purpose of lighting the steam and
air pressure and water gauges. The elias
Sitication train signal lamps are also cleo
trically lighted. and number of add.
tional lamps are situated over tie ma
chinery of the locomotive. for the pur
| bose OF better Inspection.
The brilliancy of the new headlight EN-
ahles the engineer to readily distinguish
objects within the right of way for ovel
half mile. The risk of accidents anC
collisions is therefore greatly diminished
Electricity has been adopted as al
-
illuminating power on most OF thu
American railways, where it has prove,
a great success. In view of this success
the Grand Trunk people decided to appl
the system to their line. The system
embodies a simple, independent and com
plete equipment, each locomotive having
its own seperate and distinct stean
engine and dynamo for generating tn
light. All of the lights can at the wi
of the engineer, by suitable switches, b
turned on together or individually, a
