OFFICIAL PAPER OF PHILLIPS COUNTY

The appointment OF Mark &. Wood-
ruff to The position OF Register OF the
State Land board was certainly grand
good thing for the Taxpayers OF Oolora-
do. Mark il noted not only for energy,
perseverance, and manliness: When he
knows he ia right he Is persistent, IN
Ristent and consistent THE whole bunch.
He has brought many land hogs to time
and with them lucre to the peoples cot.
iers. While leniently reasonable to the
poorer c,nss OF state laud users, ho il
strict when it comes to tho rich man
who fences up state land and grazes bit
herds thereon without intention OF max
ing any payment for such use, or any
regard whatever tor the rights Of others
And Mark is getting large number Of
those fellows and ia reducing their claims
down to regulation size. No pay, no
lsnd, is his motto, and it Is working Just
right for the common people OF Colora-
do.-Morgnn Times.
Mr.. Woodruff will ask the republicans
Of the state for the nomination for state
nnditor. He has made record ~ Reg
lister Of the State Land Board that will
aid him very materially VIII sn he comes
before the republican state convention
for this nomination.

A young man near AiDswor,h had 9
peculiar and somewhat novel experience
recently. His best girl missed q fur col
lar and o most careful search failed L
reveal its whereabouts. This dwslt up
on the young mans mind until he dream
ed three nights in succession Of seeing
the lost article under the northwest corn
er OF the granary. One evening recently
when he WAS visiting the young lady he
told her his dream. She suggested tha,
they investigate. Accordingly they wen,
TO the granary and the young man thrus,
his arm beneath the foundation, and
sure enough he felt q hairy substance
which he proceeded to pull out. The
young msn buried his clothes, but IN
the excitement OF the moment the skunk
escaped, and the young mans belief IN
dreams is considerably shskrn.-Er.

of the church. Give me my choice
of a knocker for a companion or a
violent death, and I'll say start up
the fireworks. And his name is
Legion. Some people are bad be-
cause they don't know how to be
good. But the knocker is devilish
because he is a moral desenerate
who doesn't feel happy unless he
is numbering a repu tation or cruel
flying a sensitive heart. God Great
ed man in his own image and pro-
nounced him good. But the
knocker crawled in under the fence,
If I had my way about it | would
clothe the knocker in barbed wire
and make him eat red hot shingle
nails forever and ever more. III
give a lot to know just where they
will put the knocker in the here
after. It's a cinch he won't fly
any, and if the devil is half the
shrewd gent I fancy he is, he won't
let him get within hailing distance
of the Styx. If l had old Charon's
job I'd sink the boat and drown
the knocker in the darkest place
along the ferry. And then I'd
wade ashore and 60 on a strike
until the knocker family was put
on the black list. The knockel
is a hum an rattlesnake with the
r~attles off. He neve let's you
know he is going to strike unit
he shoots a bunch of venom into
you, and then he crawls off and
hide and lets the poison work.
The knocker should be annihi.
lated.

THE BLOCK SYS=
TEN.
Accidents on South
ern Pacific Will
Soon be an I'M
possibility.

The automatic block system now
being generally installed on the
Southern Pacific railroad line is
about completed to Reno from the
West. The workmen have already
reached the Western suburbs oil
the city.
It will be remembered that the
new system has been in operation
between Oakland and Truckee fol
several months and the work has
been progressing between the lat
ter point and Reno as rapidly as
experienced mechanics could per-
feet it. The new 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 r unable to explain it. II
is entirely new to the Pacific West
though it has been installed on all
Of the principal railroads in the
crowded East.
Under this system it is almost
impossible for accidents to occur
The track is SO governed that
every train is Its own automatic
switchman aud it cannot make a
mistake. The sblock" means what
it indicates. The trains are kept
in blocks to themselves at all times
and under the arrangement nc
two trains can get ON the same
block at the same time.
An automatic electrical appliance
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 minute that a train
enters a block it turns on the auto
matte self-acting appliance and no
other means of opening the block
can be used. The blocks may be
made any length desired. They
r usually from station to station,
but where the convenience of the
road necessitates, they are made
shorter.
The block stations consist of
small houses in which the auto
matte machinery is placed. They
stand like %sentrymen along the
track where the system is in use
and are said to be as reliable as
clocks. 1t is estimated that the
system has already saved hundreds
OF thousands of lives in the United
States and is destined to become
the universally adopted SYSTEM
