A DICTIONARY TO
FIND OUT.

A true story on one Of Armour's
travelling men in this territory has
created great deal of amusement
among the drummers. He was a
new man, and was not onto mis- job,
He started out of Paducah on one of
his trips, and while in a neighboring
town received a dispatch from his
house.
1t seems meat had gone up half a
cent a pound, and the dispatch was
from the company notifying him so he
could govern himself accordingly.
The company transmits all such or
ders in cipher, and to the uninitisted
one Of those cipher messages is about
the most uniutelligible things imagin-
able. They are made up Of the most
outlandish words and syllables that
can be coupled together, and unfor-
tunately the new man mad never seen
one before.
He read il and re-resd it, but he
couldn't get any sense out of it. Fin
ally he decided he would get die
tionary and see il il wouldn't shed
some light on the mystery. He called
at several places, but couldn't find
single dictionary among his friends,
so he went to the newsdealers and
bought one. The only word in his
telegram that he could find in the die
tionary meant ito use insulting.
abusive language, and although he
COUNT make out what the remainder
meant, he came to the conclusion
that he had offended the house, and
was going to get fired.
Hurriedly sending in a dispatch to
hold up Judgment until he could ex-
plain, he took the first train to Padu-
cab, and when he get here and report
ed at the local headquarters, was ex-

er, and provided with a code book,
with which the company had pre-
viously neglected to provide him
He's all right now, but his friends
have great deal of fun out of him

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS.
SUPPLY SHORT AND PRE-
DICTION MADE THAT
PRICES WILL
SOAR.

Chicago, Sept. s-Turkeys for
Thanksgiving dinner are going to be a
luxury, both on account of scarcity
and price. This conclusion is reached
by buyers who have made a canvass of
the country districts, says the Tri-
bune.
1t is estimated the turkey crop will
be one-half smaller than last year, and
that prices on the Chicago market
around Thanksgiving time, when the
fowl is most in demand, will be about
two cents pound higher than a year

AvANEsE METHOD OF
OF INDUCING SLEEP.

DR.. Steiner observed in Java a
method employed to induce sleep.
In consists in COMPRISING the carotid
arteries The operator sits on the
ground behind the patient whose neck
he seizes with both hands. The in
dex and middle fingers are then push
cd forward into the oarotids which
are compressed toward the spine. The
patients respiration becomes more
rapid and more profound and his head
relaxes backward. The method is
absolutely harmless, anaestaesis is
rapidly obtained and the patient wakes
promptly with no symptoms of nausea
or malaise. DIR. Steiner declares the
method 90 be well known in Java,
where it is used to relieve headache,
sleeplessness, ETC., and points out the
fact that the carotid artery WAS known
10 the ancients as arteria soporifera,
and that its name in modern Russian
is ARTERY Of sleep" He does not
seem to know that the method Is
widely praoticed in India. kipiing's
Kim, for example, is put to sleep oy
process Of the sort. DR.. Steiner ex-
perimented upon thirty Japanese and
wa s successful in all but five cases.
He sat in front OF the patient placing
his right hand on the left, his left
hand on the right side Of the patients
neck. When the ends Of his fingers
met at the back Of the neck he placed
his thumbs back OF and little below
the angles of the lower jaw. The
beating Of the carotid was felt, and
then a moderate pressure towards the
spine was applied. The loss of con
seriousness was complete and, in one
case, an abscess was lanced without
sensation on the patients part.

ODD FELLOWS DID REJOICE
Last Saturday Was One of a Great Time
and Many People For Idaho Springs.

Broad in his address of welcome told the
story of Idaho Springs welcome to the
Odd Fellows. Mayor Trathen was not
expected to make a long address, as he
never does, but he was expected to make
every word reach its destination, and this
he did in Enthusiastically vigorous
style. He told the visitors that he appre-
ciated the bonds that bound them to
gether that he knew of the broadness of
their fraternal character and of the high
sense of honor begotten by contact with
such principles. AS a parting word he
invited them to take everything they
wanted and feel that the city was theirs.
Secretary Van Norman's address was
full of .fraternalism and recited the his
tory of the great order from the time of
its inception by the great Wildey until
the present time when thousands and
thousands in all parts of the world bow
at the shrine of the great organization he
founded.
In the evening the concert and grand
ball was brilliant success. The visitors
all had good time and were apparently
pleased with the generous enterprise of
their brothers in Idaho Springs who had
spared nothing in making preparations to
entertain them so nicely.
A feature of the anniversary was the
presence of so many ladies of the Re-
bekah. From Central City, Black Hawk
Arvada and the upper end of the county
the representation was indeed good. and
these ladies were well cared for by their
sisters here in the city. Taken in every
way the great celebration in commemor-
alton of the eighty-third anniversary OF
Odd Fellowship was one of the most at
tractive and best attended that has been
held in Idaho Springs for years.

| lican of Tuesday morning, taken from
the official prospectus issued by Mr.. Mof,
fatt, tells the story for itself:
Prom Denver the line will go west by
as straight route as possible 1t is al
! ready built as far as Arvada. The coal
fields of Coal creek will be the next OBJ
jective point, and grading to this point is
already in progress. The next point on
the line will be Copperdale station.
Thence the line will run through the
northern part of Gilpin county by way of
the Rollinsville pass. A branch will be
built from Rolliusville to Central City.
The line will pass out of Gilpin county
through a tnnnel two miles north Of
James peak. This tunnel will be II 900
feet, or life more than two miles long
and at an altitude of o 600 feet. 1t is es-
timated that two and ene-half years will
be required to complete the tunnel, there
fore arrangements have been made to
build a switchback as a temporary line
over the peak, to be used until the tun-
mel is finished. In Grand county the line
will pass through Hot Sulphur springs,
thence will proceed over the Gore range
and down the Bear River valley to Steam
boat springs in Routt county. 1t will
traverse a distance of 100 miles west of
Steamboat springs, in the expectation
that its rich pastoral, agricultural and
coal resources may afford a profitable
local traffic. Thence the line will run
through Uintah and Wasatch counties,
Utah, crossing extensive beds of gilsonite
and the most extensive deposits Of hydro
carbons in the world, and through rich,
agricultural sections"

LINE" HAS
FOUND A ALOCATION
Will Be Built Rapidly Capital and Labor Can
Carry 1t Through to Salt Lake.

Nearly two months ago when it SEEM
ed as if everything was uncertain as to
where the "Moffatt Line" would be built
Siftings published an article, inspired by
a telephone message from Denver, stat
ing that the line would run two miles
north of James peak, and would build a
spur to connect with Central City.
Many of our subscribers doubted the
statement and insisted that the line
would either pass through Idaho Springs
or go through Yankee and Alice at least.
The official announcement is now made
that it will go by way of Rollinsville,
build a spur to connect with Central City
and pass two miles to the north of James
pea<. An interesting feature in connec-
ton with that portion of it is the fact
that tunnel will be driven two miles to
cross the range at the point north of the
peak mentioned.
Idaho Springs might as well give up
the idea of getting this line and if, as it
is stated, the Rock Island has purchased
the Colorado and Southern, then it is safe
to go further, as suggested a couple of
weeks ago, and say that it will be long
time before main line is sent on its way
up Clear Creek canon.
1t makes little difference to Idaho
Springs whether she is made a city on a
main line or not She has the gold and
silver, the climate, the scenery, the hot
and cold mineral springs and everything
to make her a great mining and resort
city Whether the line comes or not
makes little difference.

Cadet Committee Visits Again.

Last Sunday Messrs. Sales, Main and
Brown, representing the cadet committee
visited the city again, and were shown
the various camp grounds by President
Birkins and others of the chamber of
commerce. 1t looks very much as if
Idaho Springs would succeed in getting
the encampment for June. The young
men are greatly pleased with the treat
ment accorded them by the mayor and
council and the citizens last year. The
matter will be decided early next week.

The fact that it is a week since the

with many thanks makes the news con-
cerning the big day a bit stale at this
time 1t would be unfair, however, to
pass the matter without some mention in
general way.
1t was the largest crowd of people
Idaho Springs has entertained for some
time, and one of the most enthusiastic.
From the Colorado and Southern records
it is shown that over 400 tickets were
sold from outside points for the celebra-
ton Central City and Black Hawk fur
nished their good proportions for a spe-
cial train and Golden and ArvadA did the
same thing.
Three bands were pr sent to discourse
sweet music to the people. The line of
march was a particularly attractive fea-
ture. 1t formed about ? o'clock and-th
people of the city all turned out and
completely occupied she curbs and every
available place where it was possible to
catch glimpse of the men in uniform as
they marched past.
From nearly every business place a
large sign hoated from the breeze with an
inscription of welcome to the visitors.
Across from the depot Chairman Broad
had erected royal arch of evergreen
bearing the three links and The word
"Welcome." Uneer this arch the visitors
all passed in the line of march. 1t made
Idaho Springs appear metropolitan to see
such crowds and hear the music of the
bands floating down the streets while the
little army marched to measured time.
At the Opera house the services were
interesting and impressive. Chairman

AN INTERESTING TOOL.
The Automatic Screw Machine Does
Wonders.

The most highly developed OF ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine. and, like many another contriv-
ance for aving labor. its home is New
England. 1t is development Of the
ordinary steel-working lathe, the inter-
mediate step being the monitor lathe,
In which the various cutting tools pro-
trude from the side of steel turret
ike thirteen-inch guns from battle
snip turret. In the non-automatic
screw machine the turret Is revolved
by the operator. so ns to bring each
TOOL into play. just as the turret on the
OLD Monitor WAS revolved to bring one
gun after another into action. But in
the automatic machine the work Is
done without human guidance.
1t making screws. nuts, bolts, stud
ana other small pieces that must be
turned. drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks. typcwriters. electrical instru-
ments and other mechanism. all the Op-
orator has to do is to feed the Stock
"a long. thin rod of steel or brass-tO
the machine. The feeding mechanism
carries the rod slowly forward into the
field of action. The turret advances
ana puts its first tool Mt work on the
end OF the rod. When this tool has
done Its task, the turret withdraws It,
turns and advances second tool into
action. Each cutting tool around the
turret has its distinct work to perform
-one cutting thread, another shaping
head, another putting on a point, an
other drilling hole, still another put
ting on knurling. The turret auto
maticaliy brings each Of. perhaps, six
tools into action, and, when the work
is finished. the completed screw drops
into pan, while the 'stock" is auto
matically fed forward to begin the COM
plex operation again. A stream of ma
chine oil pours continuously on the
work to carry away the heat, and the
little metal cuttings collect in a heap
