with the (insignificant) navigation OF
the lower Rio Grande? If so, re-

that interference.
THE United States government
firmly contended that the interfer-

prove this to The satisfaction of the
court of inquiry, who decided the
question Of fact in the company's
favor; and the supreme court of New
Mexico affirmed that decision when
the United States government APP
pealed.
"In 1901, the United States govern.
ment again appealed to the federal
supreme court; and their attorney,
by alleging that the New Mexican
! courts had been improperly influence
ed by local interest, got the case re-
manded to the lower court for further
inquiry.
IN 1903, prior to such further In
quiry, the United States government
quietly changed its line OF attack,
their attorneys applying to the low
| er court for leave to file a supple
mental bill of complaint praying that
the company's rights be forfeited on
the ground that its works had not
been completed within five years.
This was a remarkable step for the

Every Tie Tagged.

The Great Northern railroad has
every tie on the system tagged and
keeps a record OF 1t. This record Is
kept as a means OF knowing its his
tory and staying qualities. 1t Is pos
sible to tell just when every tie vas
put in, and what the wood was and
the difference in durability of the

certain mysterious spikes are driven
into the ties. There IS a date on the

spike is sent to headquarters SO that
the record may be looked up.

A RADICAL
EXPERIMENT
Burlington Will Test the
Staff Block System.

fhe Burlington railroad Is making
Q comprehensive test OF the staff
block system for preventing coils
IONS. At the recent convention of the
Railway Signal association in st.
Louis, says the Kansas City Star. a
committee made two radical recon-.
nendations regarding the use Of block
signal systems. The first was that the
staff system be used on single track
railroads, and the lock and block sys.
ten on all double track roads.
In view OF the fact that there Is
practically no staff installation in
this country. barring the short noun
tain division on the Santa Fe and
about thirty miles on another road,
the recommendations Of the commit
tee have been regarded as unusual.
The Burlington railroad has set up
two staff machines In the general CT
fees In Chicago, which are being in
terestedly inspected by the officials
Of many railroad lines. The Burling-
ton is about to install the system on
ZEN miles OF its track in Illinois.
The staff system has been used In
England exclusively for fifty years.
but has never been seriously consid-
cred by roads in this country, largely
because Of the expense Of installation.
The cost is about twice as much as
the best automatic block signal sys-
tenn, and may exceed 5000 a mile.
The staff system makes 1t impossible
for a train to enter a block without
the engineer coming into possession
Of a metal bar called a staff. unless
he chooses to disregard the stop sig.
nAl.
The machines containing the stats
are electrically locked, so that a staff
cannot be delivered to an engineer un-
til the tower man obtains permission
from the succeeding tower man who
unlocks his machine for him. When
a train is in the block by reason or
the engineer having been given a
staff, it is impossible to take another
staff out until the staff in the posses
sion Of the engineer is returned to the
succeeding staff machine.
In the lock and block system rec
commended for use on double track
roads, the block instrument in the
tower is electrically locked after a
train passes into the block, and can
not be manipulated to permit another
train to enter until the succeeding
tower man unlocks it, and this he can
not do until the train has passed into
the following block.

What Is Baggage?

The supreme court of Mississippi
has handed down a decision as to just
what constitutes baggage. Under this
decision only articles taken for per-
sonal comfort and convenience can

Articles belonging to a company or
corporation for the use of another are
not properly baggage and there Is no
liability for their loss.
