LAYING TRACKS BY
 AUTOMATIC MACHINERY.

."rbe highway along which civilization moves is the railroad,' says Day Allen Wiley, in describing the new automatic tracklayer in the November numter Of The BookIovers Magazine. In the West and Southwest S4 per cent of the railroad of the first half of 1904 was made. Civilization is thus, evidently. going westward at rapid rate. In the tracklaying methods of the East. "th7 construction train rumbles up to the end of the completed track. the rails for the next section are taken from the storage cars, dumped upon the ground with clang, then carried to their place and slowly lowered upon the ties. dozen brawny laboreTs stretch their muscles in unloading the rails and score more do the carrying" Contrast this with the Western methods. Ties and rails are car ried over an improvised railway. or roll way. that traverses the length of the com struction train of fiat cars. Enough ties are carried on a little tie-carrying car to support 60 feet of track. While the ties are being placed in position. the work men have bclted four rails into pairs, and, placing them on the ro,way. start them Tor their destinp ton. A dolly or miniature suspension bridge, extends over the end of the last car and lets the rails down easy on to the ties So quickly Is the work done that the train NHNN PusHeu aHeau over the newly lald track. which is completely spiked to the ties while tine material for the next secticn Is being hauled over the elevated ways. Thus the train can be moved for ward 6) feet at d time. And so it hap pens that the locomotive has whistled for the first time in many a Western town which the day before was not within tearins distance" Nearly a third of a mile can be laid by the automatic, track layer In an hour. and Western eneinonrs boast of having been able to lay three miles Of completely ballasted and finished
 permanent way in day on the level prairies of the West.

bands of Russian sable for a border. Its rather deep yoke back and front is heavy with gold and jeweled embroid- cries. The lining is faint pink satin with a raised gold brocade.
 In spite of the prevalence of the long coat in suits and evening wraps there arc number of very smart models in short coats being shown. One of these, in burnt broadeloth, falls in loose but straight lines from the shoulder to six inches below the waistiine, the broad, close collar continuing as revers to this point. From under this collar springs jaunty shoulder cap that Is the feature stlk braid trim the reveTs. with loops of tho braid and cloth covered buttons as finish. The edges of the cape show many close rows of machine stitching in the beautiful, regular osclllaung stitch.
 Tfas ever there been a daughter of Eve who did not long for a tunic skirt?
 All too often her ambitions in this line cannot be realized because of inches Or avoirdupois. But none the less this lurking weakness for the double-sllirted effect Is accountable for each season, siv- ing us one or two splendid models in this delightful but dangerous mode. One that has just passed the customs is Of mauve chiffon cloth. the tunie being really a short polonaise that fits perfect ly smooth over the bust and about the waist and hips. Below the hip line it ripples gracefully. The body extends up over q yoke of heavy cream lace. Over this is worn e very short and full Eton that fastens on the left side with a soli- tary button, and is cut away sharply to disclose the pretty yoke and the we'll defined lnes of the figure. The tunic, the skirt end the empiecement on the little coat are marked by many lines of sou tache braid in a darker shade of mauve. A late wooltex model shows splendid blending of severity with jIdicious elabo- ration. This has a rather plain skirt, the only decoration being rows on rows of ! stitching of the oscilating stitch machine, The coat is three quarters length, the

go to the office of publication. But Japan Is ahead of the West in that nearly every newspaper has a prison editor, whose duties consist'in going to jail and stand ing trial for any offense committed by the journal. This representative of some ot the more independent papers spends large portion of his time in prison either awaiting the hearing of his case or in serving out the term of his sentence. Even when out of the tolls, he has no editorial duties to perform. His salary Is larger than that of most of his col leagues, and his position is in demand. He enjoys the sonorous title of Editor n-Chief. and when he is behind the bars the actual editor is classed by the jour ral in question as merely a contributor!' No wonder the makers of comic opera go to the East for their ideas. The West cannot match it's serious whimsicality or it's sophistical subterfuges!

showing as a splendid foil for the clap crate coat or bodice that usually accom- panios 1t.
 And 1t is also worth noting that the extreme of exaggeration Of fullness S noticeably absent in the best of the nc" skirt syles. Truth to tell, the best moo- els from the best Paris artists have avoided extremes in this as in all de- tail. But there is. nevertheless, more than suggestion of crinoline in these latest skirts. Various methods are re- sorted to to hold them about the ieet- thus preserving the proper "balance' to the figure Paris makers tried wire hoops, and again a heavy cord alin"S' a rope, was run in the hem and at the head of the ruf1e. And drop skirts "''a two overlapping double ruffes on the outside md three set in in the inside are used by some.

 There will be as many Varlet'es oi sleeves at the Horse Show as there are girls. Indeed. one wonders if the next phase will not be to have the two sleeves of the gown different, in order that this desire for variety" in sleeves may not be limited by the number of gowns one possesses.
 But here again Is there tendency to- ward moderation in the best models Ana the woman who aims to be truly well dressed fights shy of exaggeration and ex- trernes in sleeves as in all else. Indeed, some of the snarteet of the severe suits that will find initial airing next week will show sleeves of the plain Ieg-of-mutton tyne. smooth and snug below the elbow, ora with a very moderate fulness shirred Into the armseye.

SANTA FE
TO TONOPAH
The Right Of Way Now
Secured and Surveyed.
The Sierra Railway Purchased and
Will be Extended to GOldfieId
and TOn0pah.

The long talked of plans of the
Santa Fe railroad to build to Tonopah
and Goldfield are at last maturing.
1t will be remembered that some
prominent officials of the road we're
in Tonopah in June and proceeded to
Goldtield to look over both camps
with the object OF arriving at some
decision on a project which has been
under consideration for over a year,
and the extraordinary developments
at Goldheld have probably had much
to do in influencing the company in
the matter.
The Santa Fe has now purchased
the Sierra railroad from San Fran
cisco to Angels Camp, Calaveras
county, Cal, which was built by
Prince Poniatowski and the Crock
ers Of San Francisco to whom he is
related by marriage. From that
point the road will be carried across
the Sierras through what is known
as the Sonora pass.
By this route the road would skirt
the south end of the Yosemite and
probably pass through Bridgeport
to Goldfeld. Preliminary surveys
have already been made and nc
serious grade difficulties having been
encountered, there seems every prob.
ability Of the project being under.
taken especially as the question Of
competition with the Western Pacific
has to be considered and also enab.
ling it to get Pacific traffic independ
ent OF the Southern Pacific.

Some seasonable Advice.

1t may be a piece OF superfuous
advice to urge people at this season
Of the year to lay in a supply of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
almost sure to be needed before win
ter is over, and much more prompt
and satisfactory results are obtained
when taken as soon as a cold is con
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system, which can only
be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remeday is so widely
known and so altogether good that
no one should hesitate about buying
1t in preference to any other. 1t is
for sale by all druggists.

MOUND HOUSE SAMPLER.
Will Have a Daily Capacity of
Three Hundred Tons.

Inc h6Ho evening OdzeULe SJaLeS
that the Western Ore Purchasing
company are now constructing a new
sampling plant at Mound House, Ne
vada, this being the transfer point
for all ores from the southern coun-
try from the narrow gauge to the
broad gauge cars.
This plant will be new, modern and
automatic in every way, with a capac-
ity Of 300 tons per twenty-fou hours.
The ores from Tonopah and Goldfeld
and all points south, coming 10 on the
narrow gauge cars of the Carson and
Colorado railway and the Tonopah
railway will be received on one side
OF the mill, unloaded and sampled,
and be loaded into the broad. gauge
cars on the other side of the mill on
the Y. Il 7. railway tracks.
The ore will be first fed through a
large Blake pattern rock breaker
and elevated v a Snyder 5x25
automatic sampler, 1-5 cut, the re-
iect going into reject hoppers directly
to the broad gauge cars. The Is
cut then passes through a 6x20 Stur-
tevant roll jaw crusher and is again
elevated over a Snyder 3x15 auto
matte sampler, Is cut, the reject
going TO the broad gauge cars, and
the l-25 sample passing through a
4.15 Sturtevant roll-jaw crusher and
again elevated over a Snyder 2x10
automatic sampler, the reject going
to the broad gauge cars, and the
sample, a LIPS part, passing
through a 7xl4 Roger roll; this 1-l25
is then cut ' e a Jones sampler by
hand to 1000 OF the original lot and
again put through another set of
TIA sample rolls, and this sample
cut down over a Jones split sampler
to $4,000 part, and then ground 10 a
No. 2 Englebach sample grinder, and
from this samples are cut over a
Jones sampler to the size pulp re-
quired for sample, then bucked
through a 1-l00 mesh sieve.
This plant will be operated by cleo.
tricity, power being furnished from
Truckee River General Electric COM
pany power line that passes through
Mound House. The main mill will
have a 50-horse power electric motor,
and the sample room a 5-horse power
electric motor.
All samples will be dried, and moist
samples determined by electric heat.
There will be in this plant a broad
gauge Fairbanks : Morse railroad
track scale fifty feet in length, 100.
ton capacity, with a type.recording
beam.
This plant will be a complete sam
ping plant in every way, and is more
particularly designed for running the
larger tonnage of 0 even grade
ores, while the Reno plant will still
continue to handle the richer ores
from Goldfeld and smaller lots, the
same as heretofore.
All assaying will be done at the
Reno plant. There win be no assay
Office at Mound House.
The new plant will be completed
and ready to commence receiving
shipments by November 1st, and
with this addition to the Reno plant,
the company will have a capacity to
handle tll ores offered from the
southern country,

Abby sat rocking by the south win
dow, listening resignedly to her moth
er's lamentations and reproaches. She
had assumed about as awkward ard
uncomfortable a position as she could
we'll have invented, with one foot
drawn up and her hands clasped
around her knee
The old rocker lurched and grum-
bled querulously. Her best blue lawn
dress was tunIbled and crumply Her
hat pins and the summer breeze lad
conspired to muss her hair and make it
untidy. 1t struggled unbecomingly be-
hind her ears and at the nape of her
neck.
Another unsuccessful quest" said
Roger Sterling to himself, with Sa-
tirical smile. From his cool library
across the hall he could see Abby, with
the strong light pelting in over her
at the worst possible angle. He could
also hear most of Mrs. Gardeners re-
marks, for. as that matter of fact ma
tron said, she was so used to her liter
airy boarder she didn't mind him about
the house any more than a cat.
"Nobody'd expect you'd get a posi-
ton that took any kind of brains like
Trix's and Mab's," Mrs. Gardeners
energetic voice proclaimed, "but a lit
tie old district school like that! don't
hardly see how you could have helped
getting it If you tried to-"
my dates go wrong" confessed Alb
by meekly. ""rhe committee said that,
according to my information, the Dec
lafation of Independence must have
been signed several years before Amer
lea was discovered"
"Well faint any use to say any
thing more. If a body amt got a
brain you can't give 'em one! You bet
ter gather UP your buds and put em
away. And l don't know as it's worth
while to hunt another place for you.
l reckon you was cut out for a fail
ure'
Mrs. Gardener settled back into a
displeased silence rather more depress-
Ing than her previous harangue had
been. Abby arose with patient sigh,
gathered up her hat, gloves and para
sol and trailed Imply away.
Roger Sterling looked after her with
more pity and less amusement than

Famous Blind Man,

The name of John Metcalfe Of
marlborough, England. engineer and
roadmaker, is in these feverish times
In danger of lapsing into undeserved
oblivion. John Metcalfe was blind
from the age of six years until he died.
Yet as a boy and man he invariably
displayed a high spirited courage. He
was a true sportsman. fine swimmer
and a hard rider to hounds. 1t was his
solitary walk from London to Harro-
gate by a way unknown to him that
first turned his attention to roadmak-
ing. The roads in those days were
very bad. He obtained authority from
parliament to improve this state of
things when he was fifty years old.
In Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and
Derbyshire most of the principal roads
were made by him. He built bridges
and leveled rough places. Some of
the plans were made for him by others,
but usually he designed them himself.
and he did his own surveying. He
climbed mountains. trudged along on
the edges of precipices, he crossed
Bwamps and morasses, waded through
boys and forded rivers, relying wholly
and solely on the long staff that was
forever in his hand He died In har-
ness, full of years and laden with
many honors. at the great age of nine
