DISPATCHES IN CIPHER.
How Army Messages Are sent iveuun
Oae Corps to Another and to Il
s% the War O0ce. Is

When sending messages. in the
army IT, is necessary to use a cipher,
so that unauthorized persons cannot
read them. A keyword and letter is
agreed upon by the several generals
and anyone ignorant Of these two
things is unable to read the message
The instrument used, which we illus.
trate. is called the "cipher wheel =
1t consists of au outer circle, round
which the usual letters of the alpha,
bet are placed in the usual order, and
an inner circle, having the letters in
the reversed order.
The disc upon which the latter art
inscribed is pivoted at its center; the
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1902-02-20

arm A is fixed to this disc at any
letter chosen by the generals arbi-
trarily, say A. This disc is turned
round by working the millhead B.
In the cipher wheel the letters of
the keyword and those of the true
message are taken from the outer
ring, the letters of the cipher mes
sage being read in the inner ring.
Take the famous message sent by
Sir Redvers Butler to Sir George
White at Ladysmith. Suppose that
the keyword is March," and that
Sir Redvers said: 81 have been re-
pulsed" which it now appears were
not his words. First write the words
of the true message, next the key
word, repeated as often as required,
as below:
IHAVEBEENREPUL
MARCHMARCHMAR - Key
word.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. - Cipher.
The cryptogram is obtained in this
way: Set the arm of the cipher wheel
at A in the inner wheel and at the first
1 ASGSSA VI tAC hSJ "OA0 AZ luC OutSA
wheel. Take out at once for the whole
message the cipher letter of the inner
wheel corresponding to the true letters
on the outer wheel which appear above
the first letter of the keyword when
ever it occurs. ..
For instance, the first letter Of the
keyword is NJ. Above ell the Ms will
be the letters 1 B E E w U U M, and it
will be found that by setting the arm
at A in the inner wheel the correspond
ing letters on the outer wheel will be
= L 10 S S f. Then, by turning the
outer ring to A (the. second letter of
the keyword), another set of cipher
letters are obtained. ..,l' .lf
Continue the same with all the letters
of the keyword, and the cipher as in
the third line will be obtained. Thus
no person could decipher any message
unless in possession of the keyword.

Salt shut on the current.

Last winter, when an unusually
heavy snowstorm blocked the streets
of Paris, the city officials thought to
expedite the clearing of the streets
by sprinkling broadcast common
kitchen salt. This melted the snow,
but got in all the trolley slots. AS salt
water is a fine conductor of electric
ity, all the current was switched off,
and not a car could move until the
slots were carefully cleaned out.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
Pooling Issues,

The jobbing interests OF St. Cloud.
Fergus Falls and Crookston are pool
ing their issues with those of Fargo
and Grand Forks bearing upon dis
tributipg. rates asked of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
The Minnesota towns have submit
ted a proposition to the railroads in
the nature of compromise and
which is acceptable to the North Da-
kota jobbers. The present outlook is
that the whole controversy will be
settled without the intervention OF
the state railroad commission.
Railway officials take the stand that
any consideration extended to the
towns in northern Minnesota must of
necessity be given to North Dakota
jobbers, as all concerned are on the
same plane although divided by q
state line. 4t4
North Dakota jobbers are credited
with showing u good deal of patience
offering no formal protest during the
eighteen months when towns adjoin-
ing in Minnesota possessed the advan-
tage of distributing rates.
n settlement of the whole matter
probably will be announced soon.

and built exclusively for the Wash
burn road in North Dakota, is pro-
nounced a complete success. Rail-
road men have watched this test with
much interest, and it is predicted that
all of the roads in the Ignite region
will use the Ignite locomotive within
few years. Previous tests of this
class of locomotives made in Wyo-
ming were successful. but the test on
the Washburn road is the most sat
isfactory to the operating men of the
various northwestern lines.
The extension of the Washburn
road to Coal Harbor, N. d., may not

said that plans for further extensions
of the line were not definitely formed.

ing a thorough campaign for immi-
grafton through the southwestern
states and hopes to have Il large Sec
ton of the new country tributary to
it's lines settled this year.

Heavy Immigration.

The immigration departments of
northwestern railroads and land men
are receiving many inquiries from
Iowa women who have money to in
vest in northwestern lands. Many are
from young women who have earned
and saved money by teaching school.
They have the Dakota fever" and
they want to invest.
1t seems that surprisingly large
number of young women from Iowa
contributed to the landseekers' move
ment last fall. Some of these bought
land outright. Others filed on home
stead land. Along the 500 road were
located in September last year four
teen young women from northern
Iowa who filed on homestead land
and taught school in the vicinity. The
demand for school teachers in the Da-
kotas is usually good, and the enter
prising school ma'ams saw double
opportunity.

THE. WAY

 Advise Congress.

The editor Of the Ketchikan Mining Journal In answer to query of the Alas kan as to how Congress should be advised that the people of Alaska want territorial government says:
 The Mining Journal Is In no wise loath 10 offer the suggestion that the best way tn which to reach congress would be through convention representative of all the people of Alaska, called for the sole and exclusive purpose of considering the q uestlon of territorial organization. It Is only In that way that the question can Do properly and inteIllgentlv discussed, and It Is the only way In which the will of the people can authoritatlvslv be expressed.
 Petitions and memorials from town councils and civic bodies. would not be as effective as single memorial conveying to congress the desire of the whole people, as bv themselves expressed through the me dlum of a representative convention. Be- sides, the question of division Is one upon which there Is likely to be a variance Of opinion, and that can only be determined satisfactorily to all concerned through the means here suggested. The organization of territorial clubs In the various towns snd cities will form the nucleus for ,uch united action In the premises as wlllevent- uate In a call for . convention, should this suggestion meet with favor.
