AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEM.
Recent Experiments Show Value of
New Electrical Device.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. cit is given
out at Northern Pacific headquarters
that the recent series of experiments
made by the road to determine the
value of the new electric automatic
system of blocks, has proved satisfac-
tory. The object Of the officers in
making the tests ives to install some
kind of block system on the Western
divisions of the road. The first actual
application of the device will probabl
be made on the mountain division, and
If it works as we'll as it did during the
experiments it will be installed as far
as Seattle.
The system does away with the over
lap idea in the blocks and beside saw
ing electrical energy will signal the
engineer whether there is an obstruc-
ton two blocks ahead. It is modifi-
cation Of the double signal alarm idea
that has been tested near t. Paul lately

law establishing railway and trans.
portation commission in this state. to
consist of three mem bers, to be ap-
pointed by the executive, to perform
the duties and exercise the powers con-
templated by the provisions of Sec.
1876. Art. 3, of the state constitution,
which is as follows:
The Legislature shall pass laws
estab lishing reasona BILE maximum rates
for the transportation of passengers
and freight, and to correct abuses, and
to prevent discrimination and extortion
in the rates Of freight and passenger
tariffs on different railroads and other
common carriers in this state, and
shall enforce such laws by adequate

bill that is commission bill in name
only, instead Of quieting, would serve
only to increase the agitation that has
been carried on in this state on this
question"
