TELEGRAP HERS
SPEED CONTEST
AN EVENT OF GREAT INTEREST
TO THE MEN WHO SEND MES
sAGEs AND OTHERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 13.-The
greatest event in the history of tele-
graphy in this country will take place
on October 80 and 31st in the National
Export Exposition buildings at Phila-
delphia. The primary feature will be
the speed contests in the different
branches of telegraphy.
Another important event, says the
press of that city, is the contest for
the best "all-round" telegrapher in
the world, for which Andrew Carnegie
last year presented gold medal stud
ded with diamonds, which was donated
for annual competition. This medal
was won last year by f. NJ. McClintic
of Dallas, Texas, who attained the re-
cord-breaking speed of sending 517
words in ten minutes and receiving on
a typewriter 500 words in the same
time.
Two decades ago such a speed was
considered an impossibility, as was
also the record of Harry V. Emanuel
of Philadelphia, the champion of the
message receiving" class, who at
Atlanta, Ga, last year, received per-
fectly fifty and a half messages in
thirty minutes. These champions will
endeavor to hold their laurels in the
coming tournament.
Probably one of the most interesting
features of the various contests is an
event in which the sending key does
for the sending operator that which
the typewriter does for the receiver
facilitates speed.
An operator, after a few years, is
attacked with some paralysis of the
hand which prevents his reaching any
speed on the key. The transmitter Is
practically an automatic key, designed
IN the form of typewriter. The ope-
rator merely touches a key and the
transmitter forms the letter. A much
higher speed is attained than is posi-
BILE with the ordinary key.
In previous tournaments the scope
of contests has been limited TO press
and commercial work, but on this oc-
casion there are many new classes,
embracing the different branches OF
telegraphy, according to the following
enumeration; Prizes for high speed
by railroad operators, broker operat-
ors, the ladies, the 'old-timers" and the
champion class.
The odd timers" event is for ope-
rators more than 60 years of age, and
it is expected that 1t will develop the
fact that, while in these days age is
detrimental factor, some OF the old
operators will demonstrate that they
can nearly approach the lightning
records of McClintic and Emanuel.

ELEcrR1C CAR IN GERMANY.

H. w. Harris, United States Consul
at Mannheim, Germany, in report to
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, makes some interesting statements
regarding electric car lines in Germany
The total number of such lines in that
empire, he says, is 2117, but, consider
ing the area and population of Ger
many, these figures show a compare
lively slow development of this branch
of railway building, in spite of the
fact that in electric lighting and in
other applications of electricity Ger
many has taken advanced rank. The
cause of this backwardness Consul Har-
ris attributes to state ownership of the
larger part of existing steam railways
and the unwillingness on the part Of
city and other authorities to grant
charters to private companies. The
fare charged, he states, varies with
the distance, long rides and transfers
on a single fare not being permitted to
the extent they are in the United
States. The fare for ordinary distan-
ces is "a cents, tickets good for TWEEN
ty-five rides being sold for As cents

methods Of leasing the Indian lands

Mr.. Dickson would not talk about

He said he had forwarded his report
70 the department. and the public
would have TO wait till thai was
given out. The report sent out from
Washington this week about private
information being received there that
Nh. Lynch was billed for dismissal

land. This practice, Mr.. Dickson said.
must be stopped.
By the new rules Of the department
the most one man can hereafter lease
is $40 acres. and the lessee will not
be permitted to sublet the land under
any condition. An attempt had been
made, said Mr. Dickson, by a syndi-
cate Of men to lease 10000 acres Of
the new land to be brought under
cultivation by the canal now under
way, but this will not be permitted
by the government.
All Indians will hereafter be com
PEELED to live on their respective al
lotments This will be a scheme that
will be put in force hereafter on he
reservation. An Indian who has 100
acres may lease $50 acres of it, but
he must live on five acres. This
scheme is adopted to prevent the In
dians from going to the brush along

B0ONS ALASKA
CoAGRESSN'N 7ANNEY
Says the Territory Should Have Three
Delegates in Congress-A Great
Future.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Repres nj
ative Tawney Of Minnesota mas just
returned from Alaska full of enIhus-
iasm for the future of that distant cor
see a straight territorial form of gov
ernment with three delegates in con-
gress. one for each of it's widely scat
tered centers Of population and in
dustry He says that no one dele
gate can faithfully represent more
than the one section from which ne
happens TO come.
Our great mistake regarding Alas
ka. Mr. Tawney says, is in thinking
of it as unit The strip reaching
down toward our Oregon coast par
takes of the mild climate Of the Pu-
get Sound region, tempered by the
Japan current. and is as much warmer
than corresponding points on The
eastern coast as Vancouver and Seat
tie are warmer than Bangor and BOs-
ton. This Alaskan panhandle has an
equable climate, never getting very
hot in the summer nor very cold in
winter. 1t is ridiculous to speak Of it
as a land Of icebergs, as most Amer
leans do Nor is this strip small or
inconsequential. Other parts OF Alas
ka, Mr. Tawney acknowledges, are
as cold as popular imagination has
pictured them, but there is enough
that is warm and habitable to hold
out the prospects of a magnificent flu
ture. The lumber OF Alaska, espec-
ialy that which can be turned into
wood pulp, Mr. Tawney speaks Of with
enthusiasm. It's coal and Oil industries
are yet in their infancy. Great mar
BILE deposits await the stone cutter
In short, the Minnesota representative
talks like an all-round boomer. While
Alaskas population is now but $4,000,
he looks for substantial growth.
Mr.. Tawney found sentiment in the
northwest extremely impatient of the
boundary commission since it seems
to be in indirect recognition that there
rs some question OF boundary as is
tsue, when no one out there is willing

Meeks Tries Suicide.

Bub Harry Meeks, one of the most
notorious convicts in the Idaho peniten-
tiary, came near ending his miserable
existance yesterday in most sensation
al manner. A desire for notoriety seems
one of the failings of this desperate,
and he is willing to purchase it at any
price.
Although one leg short, he got onto
high wall and threw himself to the
ground, sustaining severe and perhaps
fatal injuries. He left note wishing
everyone happiness. Meeks has been
ont of the hospital only few days. He
tried to escape sometime ago and had a
leg shot off by one Of the guards.
