THE BLOCK SYSTEM.
Accidents on the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Will Soon be an ImpossibiIity.

Accidents on the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Will Soon be an impossibiIity.
The automatic block system now be
ing generally installed on the South
ern Pacific railroad line is about COM
pleted to Reno from the West The
workmen have already reached the
Western suburbs of the city
1t will be remembered that the
new system has been in operation be-
tween Oakland and Truckee for sew
eral months and the work has been
progressing between the latter point
and Reno as rapidly as experienced
mechanics could perfect it. The ne
division of the system extends TO
Sparks and will be completed to that
point in the next few weeks.
Many are not aware Of what the
system is, in fact many railroad men
are unable to explain it. 1t is en-
it has been installed on all of the
principle railroads IN the crowded
East.
Under this system it is almost i'm
| possible for accidents to occur. The
track is so governed that every train
is its own automatic switchman and =
cannot make mistake. The block
means what it indicates The trains
are kept in blocks to themselves at
all times, and under the arrangement
no two trains can get on the same
block at the same time.
An automatic electrical applianc &c
has been SO arranged that when a
train enters a given block no Other
train can enter the block from either
end Of the block until the given train
has left it. The tracks from either
end of the block are completely locked
against all other trains. The minu {

are usually from station to station. bu
where the convenience of the roa,
necessitates. they are made she ter.
The block stations consist of small
houses in which the automatic ma
chinery is placed. They stand lik
sentrymen along the track where TIL
system is in use and are said to be a
reliable as clocks 1t is estimate
that the system has already save
hundreds of thousands of lives in til
United States and is destined to b.
come the universally adopted system

THE BOND LIE.
II eobs Up this Time in the Silver
State.

State.
The Republican papers Of Nevada
mlsI be quite at a loss for material
when they are obliged to resort dav
after day to revamping exploded lies.
They still harp on the bond deal when
the misrepresentation they have
made have been met and refuted over
again.
The Silver State in long and cou-
fusing article on the bond deal asserts
that Mass State bonds are now $
percent below par.
AS matter of fact they are between
four and five percent above par.
1t is also a fact that they are not IN
the market as holders regard them
so favorably that they do not care to
sell them.
The Mass Bonds have appreciated
in value from the original price LA
to los.
The government bands have deprec
lated from 1922 (price when the bond
deal was consumated) to 1864, their
present price.
This old threadbear bond lie viii

RoDEN CONVERTED BY STILES.
JUDGE Greene Will Be Nominated.

Mr. d. f. Roden, in an article in the
public press appeals to the voters in
the interest of Judge stiles, to establish
a twelve year term for the office of pro-
bate judge and in his appeal says mo

Scarcely five years ago Mr.. Roden was
n member of the democratic convention
before which Judge James j. Banks was
a candidate for second term as cir
cult judge.
Judge Banks was opposed by Captain
w. c. Ward, Hon. .ohn II. Miller and
Hon. A. A. Coleman, all of whom We're.
and are, life long democrats. Mr.. Roden
was a member of that convention as the
delegate of w. c. Ward and he voted
against Judge Banks in every ballot.
Judge Coleman, the present incumbent
was nominated by that same democrat
ic convention and elected by the demo-
cratic voters. In short, Mr.. Roden's own
record absolutely refutes the only state
