TO PREVENT COLLISIONS
Automatic Block System Being Put in by Iron Mountain Makes
 Collisions Impossible.

The new automatic block system which the Iron Mountain is put ting in on the main line between Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, and Tex arkana is one of the greatest en- terprise ever undertaken by this /road. With this system in work ling order 1t k an imposslbility for two trains to collide.
 The system has been placed as far south IS De Soto. Mo-, and will be put in operation within the week. h the thirtF-two miles from Jefferson Barracks to De So- to there are thirty-eight blocks, each representing about SI,000. and when the 4S0 miles of track between Jefferson Barracks and Texarkana is taken into considera- tion 1t Is seen that the undertaking Is of immense magnitude.
 The Iron Mountain has double track from St Louis to Jefferson Barracks, d distance of ten miles, and this will not be equipped with the block system, and after Popu- lar Bluff is passed the track isl straighter and will not require as many stations as are being put in north of De Soto. \ block k es- abolished at every curve and the arm k operated by the train itself. There k no way for one train to enter block which contains an other train without the full lnowl- edge of the engineer.
 \ train coming into block throws the arm to red at both ends of the block. Passing out of that block into another the first arm shows clear and the one in front changes from clear to red. In this way a train k protected both in front and rear by these singnals. No signalman is necessary, as the engine coming into the block closes the electric circuit, which starts motor to running. This motor controls the arms.
 In the event of a workman throwing a crowbar or other ob- stacle across the track the circuit is closed and the danger signal is given. If rail k broken or mis- placed the circuit k closed and the red board is given at both ends of the block. \ system of three wires strung on independent poles furnishes power to the motors which control these signal arms and each signal is operated by it's individual system.
 It is estimated that no less than $500, 000 will be expended in this work on the Iron Mountain alone and the entire main line of the Missouri Pacific system is being equipped in the same manner.

Farhs Growing Scarce.

Medicinal herbs are said to be growing so scarce in this country that makers of medicines are urg- ing the cultivation of the most inn portant as a step useful 10 the community by preventing an in crease in price and useful to grow CTS by bringing them a profit for what is really no more than giv- ing these plants a fair chance to grow after being planted or transplanted. Special mention is made of the difficulty of obtaining yellow seal, also known as yellow root or yellow pueeoon. This used to be common throughout the Ohio valley and eastward, but is now hard to obtain in commercial quantities.

siding at 1742 Union street, was run
down and killed by North Shore cleo

In company with her invalid sister
and two brothers In cottage attached
to Geophert's villa. situated on the bluff
overhanging Escalle.

there is steep descent to a board
walk. The girl descended to the walk
and along It to the railroad track,
AS she reached the track train passed
on its way to San Rafael. 1t is pre-
sumed the noise made by this train
prevented her hearing the approach Of
a train coming toward sausalito. Miss
Keefe started to cross the track just
as the sausallto train came up. In an
other instant she was struck and hurl-
ed through the air against post that
stood 80 feet away. She fell in the
marshy ground to the right of the
track.
The train was stopped at once, but
when the girl was picked up she was

gong in front Of the leading car and
the force Of impact had been so great
as to tear the gong from the car.
