ORNAMENTAL TROLLEY POLES.
A Feature OF the Present Day Equipment
Of Many CITY Railroads.

Among various specialties now produced
in trolley road supplies and equipment are
ornamental poles When trolley railroads
were first built the poles used everywhere
for supporting the wire were OF the sim.
plest and plainest sort. Inc hrSt were ol
wood iron coming later
But when the trolley had come to he
esta blished in use and the sight of the
trolley poles had become familiar, it was
felt in many localities that Ia re poles stand
ing in long ranges. often along fine resi-
dence streets as we'll az in business thor
oughfares. were not slightly objects, and
there was begun the manufacture OF orna-
mental poles which ara now made in con-
siderable variety and are widely used
The columns of these ornamental poles
are Of better finish and appearance than
the original iron poles. and under the arm
projecting from the top to support the
trolley wire extending from the pole to
the end of the arm, IL placed an ornamental
bracket of scroll work or otner design.
The effect is to do away with the success

tute in place of them succession OF forms
Of erace. for, in their brackets at least,
many of the ornamental poles are OF grace

track roads or for side poles, or they are,
for double track roads. made with two
arms in such case a single line of columns
icing set along the middle of the street
with the ornamental brackets projecting
on either side they are finished painted
or galvanized.
Such ornamental poles are now produced
in various stock designs from which selec =
tion may he made; but they are also some
times made to order from special designs
supplied by the builders of the roads along
which they are to be set up.
American ornamental poles for trolley
continent are sold not only in this coun-
try. but in Europe, South America, Japan
in ali parts OF the world, wherever trolley
cars are used.

VOTING MACHINE s.

While machines devised for the pur.
pose of registering votes at the polls
have baen by no means thoroughly
tested, it has been presumed that they
could NOT be tempered with and that
tho preparation Of frauds in this
manner would be impossible. Th-
main argument advanced in opposition
10 voting machines has been that the
masses would have TO be educated TO
the proper use Of these devices. To
instruct all the voters Of the country,
It is contended, would be no small
undertaking.
Few, ii any, hitherto have question
cd the accuracy of the machines It Is
interesting, therefore. TO learn that

The retention OF the services of Elk
Gov. White for couple of months by
the other members of the capitol com
mission-Messrs. Holmes and Porter-is
simply wise piece of business policy.
Gov. White has been at the head of the
capitol commission and most familiar
with all the details. The contracts let
under his administration are not vet
completed and the building has not
yet been accepted from the contractors.
The report of the commission giving in
detail all matters connected with the
improvements Of the state house, is be-
ing prepared for the Legislature and
could not, owing to the incomplete con-
dltion OF the work. be made before the
expiration of Gov. Whites term. The
other members of the board urged him
to remain, not as member, but in an
advisory capacity-and his consent is
simply courteous act to both the new
executive and the other members of the
commission, and the intimation in the
item published in the Fargo Forum from
some visionary correspondent that this
circumstance is frought with mystery
and OF doubtful expediency does the gen.
tleman an injustice he does not deserve.
