DIFFER AS TO USE OF PHONES
Railway offisers Divided IN Opinion of llllaois
Centrars Move.
Officials Of Large Systems. However. Believe
They will supplant the Telegraph.

4 They Will Supplant the Telegraph.
Officers of Chicago roads arc
divided in their opinions regard
ing the radical action of the Hill
nois Central management il de-
Gliding TO substitute telephones for
the telegraph for all purposes.
| Officials of the larger systems,
however, are quite agreed that the
Illinois Central's innovation is
wise one and that the telephone
is destined to Dust the telegraph
for all purp ,ses. While the Gem
trail is the first road in the coun-
try to entirely eliminate the tele-
graph, other lines have been ex-
perimenting more or less with
telephone communication for
several years.
The great desire of railroads is
to expedite business. The fire.
quent bloekades during rush per-
iods are emphasized by the i'm
ability to give onders and receive
answers. With the telephone
this work will he instantaneous.
In giving train orders direct
communication between dispatch
era and engineers will be possible
when necessary. At small stations
where there are no night operat-
ors telephones will be placed and
trainmen may receive orders from
dispatchers. In the way of facil-
itating the traffic the advantages
of the telephone over the older
method will le many.
1t is believed that since The
| Illinois Central has decided to
entirely substitute telephones for
telegraph the Santa Fe and other
big roads will do likewise as soon
rs their homogeneous are satisfied
with the experiment.
Purchasing agent Ross of the
Illinois Central has been instruct
ed to bay 275,000 pounds of cop
ger wire for the new telephone
service. This, be says, is sufficient
to equip only 800 miles of the
|5,0O0of that system. Telephones
will b, placed in all the principal
stations.
CHANGE IN RAILWAY ADVERTISING.
4 During the coming season of
railroad advertising officers of
many of the larger systems ale
planning TO abandon all billboard,
fence aud other advertising of
tibet class and to a great extent
eliminate advertising from mega
zines and other periodicals.
| L. is the prevailing opinion
that the newspapers now present
the best medium of reaching all
! the people and recommendations
to use newspapers exclusively in
|all advertising will be made.

tically everything but the news

Letter From Colorado.

Letter From Colorado.
STERLING. Colo, Jan 81, 1902.
E litor of Valley TINES: The ten
days that we have passed at this
place have been very beautiful.
Today it is colder and threatens
snow. The people would like to
sac more snow, especially in the
mountains az that is where they
get their water supply for irri-
eating purposes. Now the meth
cd of irrigsting here is something
wonderful and after sll 80 simply
done. We wonder why our gov
eminent doesn't do more. The
sun never shone upon a lovelier
country than lies west of Sterling.
After you cross few miles of
sand the land graduslly rises until
you are on level highland that
stretches on aud on and is the
home of only the prairie dog and
owls. There are remnants of
houses, and plowed ground whore
some poor emigrsnt, attracted by
the beauty of the land, has settled
ard waited and watched for the
rain that never came, until finally
with that "hope deferred that
maketh the heart SICK" has left
his all. Irrigation is not in the
distance very far for these lande,
perhaps two years. They think
that 100000 acres can be supplied
by one enormous reservoir, which
is a natural one, composed OF
8 lid rock, only waiting for man
to turn the water, and that our
government should d. as these
lands can now be homesteaded.
Shall we, or shall we not have
saloons, has been so much talked
OF at Mo Valley for the past two
years, is answered in the negative
here. Everyone knows that here
woman has both voice and vote
with man, and she uses her right
and privilege in making Sterling
a "dry" town with all that the
name implies. Everyone accepts
the new order of things as mat
ter of course. 1t would be i'm
possible to find a more religious,
N ,ral and temperate town, and
prosperous, too, which proves that
revenue derived from such a
source is' not what makes town
prosperous. What is true OF this
pace is true of many others.
Woman is not less womanly, nor
man less manly here on account
of woman suffrage. Ga the con-
trary, the reverse is true. Or
election day carriages are sent fol
every lady, both in town and
country and they are very careful
TO miss nobody as they wish te
have a full vote SO everyone will
be satisfied.
Improved farms ara advancing
rapidly in price and anyone with
capital to invest would be wise to
at least visit this country. Rents
are scarce. Town property is q
good investment. Twenty. five
houses could be leased quicker by
far than they could be built. Bust
ness is good for midwinter.
West of Sterling there is a large
horse ranch. They buy horses
and fit them both in flesh and fol
the harness, for the market. 1t is
owned and operated by a MI
Brown, who ships them to Illinois.
The cost of living is no dearer
here than in Iowa. Coal is high
er, but we don't burn as much.
Everything is sold by the pound
Potatoes are ST. 70 per 100 lbs,
four 81 90 per 100 ib., hay from
S. to $40 per ton, corn Sl.40 pei
leo lbs, wheat $l.20 per 100.

HAD TO SHOW HER.

Of a certain bishop, famous as about the plainest man in England, the Liver pool Post tells this pleasing tale: One day, as this homely parson sat in an omnibus. he was amazed by the per sistent staring of a fellow passenger. who presently unburdened himself as follows:
 "Tou're a parson. ain't you?'' Well, yes that is so.'
 "Lcok ere, parson, would you mind comin 'ome with me to see my wife?"
 Imagining the wife was sick and needing assistance. the clergyman, at great inconvenience to himself, went with the man. On arriving 1t the house the man shouted to his wife to come downstairs. and, pointing to the astonished parson, said, with a grin Of delight:
 Look e ere Sairry. Yer said this mornin' as I wur the hugliest chap in England. Now, just yer look at this bloke!"
