TO COMMEMORATE
OFFICIALS HER0ISM
Memorial Tablet to be Erect
ed to the Late Edward
GrafStrOm.
WAS CHIEF MECHANICAL ENGINEER

The bronze tablet which will be
erected in the state house at Topeka,
Kan, to the memory of Edward Graf
strom, the chief mechanical engineer
for the Santa Fe, who lost his life dur
ing the flood of 1903 in saving the
lives Of people VINO had been caught
in the Using waters of North Topeka,
has been completed and is now on ex-
hibit'on in the engraving rooms of a
Chicago firm, by which it was made.
The many friends of the heroic engi-
nee. have made the tablet possible by
their subscriptions and contributions
to the memorial fund.
The facts in the case need but be
briefly mentioned as most everyone is
familiar with the incident of Mr.. Graf
strom's death. The Railway Age says
of Mr.. Grafstrom:
He was chief mechanical engineer
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway. In June, 1903, when the Kan
sas river swept over North Topeka
thousands of people were imprisoned
in upper stories OF houses, on roofs,
in trees and in similar places of ref
uge. Mr. Grafstrom designed a relief
boat and it was built under his super
vision. Provisions, means of assist
ance, necessaries of all kinds were
carried to North Topeka and the boat
brought back hundreds of survivors.
At the very conclusion of the work
on the night of June 2, when there
were no more to be saved, the boat
started back without a load and with
out ballast Striking a strong whirl
of water it became uncomfortable,
struck a submerged tree and was up
set. The crew saved themselves by
catching to treetops, but Mr.. Graf
strom though a powerful swimmer
was lost. He had been working with
extraordinary diligence, without sleep
for several days, and was nearly ex-
hausted. 1t may have been this, or
that he was struck by some part of
the boat as it over turned. He died as
the result of devoting his great skill
and his magnificent strength to the
work Of saving the lives Of his fellow
citizens.

Newspaper Enterprise Association.
San Francisco. Aug. 7.-On Septem-
Der ] the war department will estab-
lish a school at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, for the education of army Of
ficers in signal corps work. General
Bell who is stationed at Fort Leaven-
worth at the present time will have
charge of the school, while Major
George o. Squier, who has been the
chief officer of the signal corps, de-
partment of California, has just left
here. to act as Gen. Bells assistant
Then officers will he selected by the
war department to take the course of
instruction the first year and later the
number will be increased.
The men will be taught every class
of field work, including automobling
and tree telegraphy.
Heretofore this class of work has
been limited TO the signal corps men
alone, who made themselves proficient
in such work as would facilitate in
slant communication between officers
of different regiments during a war.
Now the war department thinks 1t
wise that every officer understand the
features of signal corps work. With
this end in view the school at Fort
Leavenworth is to be established.
Major Squier who will take such an
active part in this new department
has already gained much prominence
by his interesting experiments in tree
telegraphy. His experiments at Camp
Atascadero near Paso Robles, CAL,
last August were startling in the ex-
treme as they revealed truths which
have been hiden from science, and
now have opened up a new field for
research and experiment for botanists
and physicists along lines which have
never been attempted.
The work which brought Major
Squier before the public was the result
of an incident occurring during the
maneuvers of the signal corps at
Camp Atascadero.
The men were drilling in the field
last August. Their duty is to lay and
maintain lines of communication for
MAI. GEO. SQUIER.

the army by employing ground" cir
cult for telephone, driving an iron
bar into the earth, moist soil, of
course, being necessarily chosen as a
burial place
During a previous drill held at Am
erican Lake, Washington, the signal
corps encountered much difficulty in
securing moist soil for its operations.
After many failures Lieutenant w. NJ
Goodale thought of a tree as a proper
solution of the trouble. A tree, nat
urally will find water. The lieuten-
anti happy idea brought about results
which will prove of immense value to
the war department.
Down at Camp Atascadero when the
sun-baked earth would discourage the
most enthusiastic disciple, the tree
ground" offered every opportunity for
the most interesting experiments.
The method employed by the signal
corps was to drive a nail into the liv-
ing part of tree and a wire is led
from the tree ground" From the other
terminal of the instrument, a signal
wire is laid losely along the ground
to the station where 1t is attached to
the receiver.
The gratifying results obtained from
this experiment attracted the atten-
tion of Major Squier, who gave the
matter great deal of thought 1t then
occurred to him that trees might be
used for the purpose of wireless tele-
graphy.
There is a wireless telegraph station
at Fort Mason, also one on Yerba
Buena, small island in the Bay of
San Francisco. AT both stations there
are some eucalyptus trees. One Of
the trees at Fort Mason was selected
TO demonstrate the practicability OF
the majors idea. An aerial wire was
lowered from a 75-foot pole and led
to the tree. into which a nail was
driven. Almost Immediately signals
were received from Yerba Buena, and
the value of Major Squier's discovery
was at once established.
All officers assigned to signal instruc-
tion vii be given a thorough course in
Squier's system.
