Gilbert Station Man Has Machine That
Will Aid Creamery Operations.
Special to Republican.
Ames, March 21.-A. B. Wright, OF
Gilbert Station, is the inventor of a
machine which will ill long-felt want
in creameries and cheese factories. The
nature of the machine is to give to the
customers the correct amount of skim
milk In proportion to the amount which
he brings to the creamery. Before the
invention Of this new machine this has
been largely guess-work. 1t is auto
matte In action, with no possible
chance for one customer to get more
than another in proportion to the
amount he brought In. 1t is so con-
structed that it can be set in any con-
venient place in the building and needs
no care or watching to make it perform
it's work correctly. The farmer brings
IN his milk, has 1t weighed and the
weigher gives him check ball In cor
respondence with the weight of his
milk: the customer then drives around
to the tank connecting with the ma
chine, deposits his ball and receives the
correct amount OF skim milk. The
check ball returnds automatically to
the weighman and is ready to be given
to the next customer. The balls are OF
all sizes and the weighman is able at a
glance to pick up the right ball. The
machine has just been perfected and
will shortly be put on the market.

AFTER MAIL CONTRACT
Illinois Central to Place Tele.
graphic instruments in In
terlockine Switch Towers.
Believed to Be Preparatory to
the Putting on OF Fast
Trains.
May Give Northwestern Another
Race for the Big Mail
Contracts.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, March 21.-The Illinois
Central company has placed telegraph
instruments in the interlocking switch
tower at its intersection with the c. &
N. w In this city. All connections on
them were completed yesterday so that
they are now in working order. Switch
men Will now necessarily have to be
telegraph operators. The purpose Oh
this new departure is to place the
switchmen in direct communication
with every office along the line and es-
pecially the train dispatcher Thus II
a superior train be upon the line and
dispatcher can notify the switchman to
keep his plant clear of switching
freights. This will save the time of a
possible stop to the superior train.
Freight trains are not allowed to come
upon the switch plant within ten min
utes of the time passenger train is
due. 1t is rumored that the full stgnl-
ficance of this new move upon the part
of the Central means the putting on OF
fast trains. In fact 1t Is quite probable
that the company is getting in readi-
ness to give the Northwestern another
race for the fast mail contract. Should
this come about there could be no oc-
casion for the train to ever be blocked
at the switch under this new arrange
ment. That as 1t may. the Central is
putting itself in a position to easily
avoid all unnecessary stops in the flu
ture at switches and road crossings.
There have been times when an obsti-
nate freight crew upon the switch plant
have held passenger train. With the
tower wired this will be avoided. 1t
will require extra vigilance upon the
part of switchmen and raise the re-
quirements of that class of employees
but will be of much more service to
the railroad company. 1t is not known
whether the Northwestern contem-
plates putting it's wires in the tower or
not. For the present, however, it will
not at least the officials have as yet
had no notification Of any such ar
rangement.

Special to Times Republican.
Clarion, March 21.-The surveyors
for the Chicago Great Western are
here laying out the grounds for the
round house, machine repair shop, etc.
The material for two fourteenth
wells is on the ground and work will
begin at once. 1t liz the intention Of
the company to put in a general di-
vision at this point one of the largest
in the state. The company have over
seventy acres of ground, nicely located
and will also erect modern passenger
depot near the business center of the
town. All business matters between
the Clarion Investment Co. and the
Chicago Great Western have passed
off smoothly and our people have the
best of feeling toward the company,
and they will do practically all the
railroad business of the town. Nc
Arthur Bros. Co., contractor from Chi
cago, have again commenced on the
Hennepin extension and we expect to
have trains from Chicago to Minne-
apolis, Sioux City and Omaha running
thru here by midsummer.
We are reliably informed that the
round house will be one of twenty
stalls capacity, and the main machine
shop 120x40O feet.
Clarion is not taking this great i'm
provement as boom. Our town has
ALWAYS been thrifty, at the present
time there is not vacant house in
town, dwelling or business. There
will, however, be a great number of
dwellings built as soon as the weather
permits.
The proposed extension of the c., I.
e d. will give Clarion another good
road and give us as good railroad ia
cilities as any town in the state. We
have great possibilities. Keep your
| eye on Clarion.
