cent hleet storm. commenced this
morning to rebuild the entire system.
There will be very few overhead
wires strung, and whit few arezstrung
will be insulated, SO that there will be
no damage if they get crossed, as there
has been in former times. The large
lead wires viii all be IN cables under
ground, while sotde of the small leads
will be In cables overhead which will
prevent damage in future storms. The
old switch boards will be taken ont and
be replaced by modern boards. Tie
phones that have been formerly used
by this company will also be.replaced
by new u%p-to-date phones. Allsof the
wires viii be entirely new, the only
thing that will be used that is now in
service, is a few Of the poles. The
company will be equipped with new
material inseyery ay and will in the
future guarantee better service to
their patrons thu has been given in
the past.
The line from here to Shepherds

STARTED A BANK ACCOUNT
Auburn Wagon Company Presents
Novel Plan to Employers.
WILL ADD TO MEMS SAVINGS
A Saving Bank Presented to Each Employee
Of the Company IL Lieu Of a Christmas
Turkey.
Turkey.

Mr.. Max Robinson. the Manager of
the Auburn Wagon Company is con-
stantly working his brain for some
thing new and novel, whether it is in
the manufacture or sale of Aupurns.
or in the welfare of the companv's 9 M
loyees.
1t has always been the custom of the
company to present each employee with
a TURKEY as 4 Christmas present. This
year Nh. Robinson has presented the
men with a gift which will not only
prove valuable, but lasting. In Mr..
Robinson's letter TO the employees,
which was given them Tuesday he
says Being interested in our well
fare, the company takes this method
Of suggesting a plan whereby you
may provide something against "a
Rainy DAY..
This Something against "A
Rainy Day" accompanied theletter in
the shape Of a small saving bank.
Mr.. Robinson says that this bank
will be redeemed at the Peoples Trust
Company and everv employee is 1t lib
erty to have it redeemed, either now
or al some future time. The company
hopes that the bank may remind its
men to take advantage Of the conven-
lent opportunity presented, and If each
employee deposits only the small sum
of 20 cents weekly, in IL months the
saving viii represent Sls.o 90, TO each
of its employees having fhat niaouat
at fi1e end az flsH gesT f tpahv
will add ! 400. making a total saving
of $500.
An account has been opened at the
bank for each employee and the con-
tents of the banks can be deposited
from time to time. The company says
the men are at perfect liberty TO re-
deem the bank. but hopes the sugges-
ton will meet with the approval Of
the men and be the means Of encour-
aging thrift, which may be the
beginning of q good bank account.
The plan is an entirely new and or
iginal n with Mr. r 1binson and he
hopes that it will prove q successful
one. The men are enthusiastic over
the gift and seem TO take well to the
suggestion. By next Christmas the
men will more than likely be treated
to another one of Mr.. Robinson S SUR
prises.
1t will prove a good beginning and
the same idea could be followed out
by others with good results.
