trial, are equally satisfactory. 49, j..
The new method is to be extended
generally to all the divisions of the
big 6,000-mile system. Signal towers
and division Offices are to be equipped
with the telephone system, enabling
tower operators and division officials
to communicate Immediately with any
portion of the line under their. juris-
diction. One of the valuable results
of the Introduction of the improvement
will be that division superintendent
will be enabled to communicate with
the men on the road at any point.
The Northern Pacific will be the
first railway in the west to make
practical use of telephones, outside
general Offices and division Offices,
which happen to be located at points
where local telephones are available.
So far as is known, none of the West
ern railways, except the Northern Pa
cific, have even tested the system for
train dispatching. In the east, and
especially in the seaboard states, a
number of lines have adopted the new
system with excellent results.

The Northern Pacific already has
telephone lines on the main line west
through Minnesota, and over other
sections Of the main line it has granted
private companies the right to string
wires. Wherever practicable the lines
of the latter will be used by the rail-
way, the gaps between being filled in
by company telephone connections.
The following is a statement of the
plans Of the company, secured from
thoroughly reliable sources:
"The telephone system is to be ex-
tensively applied and will be used for
the transaction of the usual company
business and for train dispatching as
well. The Northern Pacific has decid-
ed that train orders and other mes
sages may be transmitted much more
quickly by telephone than by tele-
graph, and that the new system affords
greater security in the operation of
trains. An important feature of the
system which will be installed is that
telephones will be used in connection
with the Telegraph lines already in
operation, the same line being used for
both purposes. Messages sent by tele-
phone will be repeated back to the
sender for the sake Of accuracy and to
catch errors in transmission, the same
as by telegraph.
TRAINS moving over the various d.
visions will be supplied with the neces-
sary Instruments, by means of which
connections may be made with the
wires at any point along the right of
way. Through this means cit will be
possible for conductors and engine
men to communicate directly with the
division Offices at any time, an advant.
