ner as they drop down at the rate
of II or 10 miles an hour, mount
them in a trice and set the brake
sufficiently to reduce the speed ma
terially within a few hundred feet.
The occupation is, therefore, the
mOmst hazardous in the railway
service, although modern safety
appliances have done a great deal
to reduce the peril. In the old
days when link and pin couplings
were in use, the switchman was re-
quired to go in between the cars
to couple and uncouple them, and
many fatal accidents occurred
through his failure TO observe pre-
cautions If you ask the old griz,

TACOMA TO FIGHT
LIGHT HOLD UP

TACOMA, Nov. 3.-The attempt
Of the electric power corporations
to hold up the city has given a
great impetus to the project of a
municipal electric plant to generate
current for the lighting and power
service of the city.
Manager Babson, of the General
Electric company, had conference
with the commissioner of public
works yesterday with reference to
a municipal plant and steps will
be taken to have the matter Of
ficially canvassed in the near fu-
ture.
1t is thought that a plant can be
installed for considerably less than
100000 that would give the city
all the light needed and plenty of
current for the sale Of power to
manufacturers at a cheaper rate.

this duty is now being delegated
to car inspectors. There still, of
course, remains many dangers ne
cessarily attendant on the work OF
boarding cars on the fly, sliding
along the running boards on dark
winters night, and riding on the
footboard of an engine in slippery
weather. On account Of these perils
it is only the more daring and
reckless spirits amongst the rail

yard work. and they have earned
the reputation Of being the most

CAMPAIGN FOR
REFERENDUM
CLOSED

The Spokane County Refer.
endum league has closed it's cam.
paign for the adoption of the Ore.
gOn initiative and referendum law.
The officers of the league are we'll
satisfied with results accomplished.
Only three candidates for the legis-
lature refused to go on record for
the reforms asked for by the
league. They are: Harry Rose
haupt, candidate for state senator
from the Seventh district, and J. A.
Fancher and J. F. Congleton, both
of whom are candidates for the le-
gislature from the Fourth depre-
sentative district. All these can
didates are republicans and are
running in strong republican dis
tricts, which probably accounts for
their refusing to support the refer
endum. They feel sure Of election,
anyway.
The officers of the referendum
league say they have done their
full duty to the people in support
of these reform laws, and it now
rests with the voters to register
their wishes as to whether they
want to be represented IN til next
Legislature by men who be-
lieve that they lack the brains to
intelligently pass on the work of
their law makers.

The duties of the switchman to-
day are different from the duties of
the switchman of yesterday. The
switchman of yesterday was
tough proposition. Peace troubled
his mind. Twenty years ago if
there was not a switchman's strike
in Buffalo there were two in
Pueblo. Members of other organi-
cations used to regard the switch
man in the light of a common dis
turbance. Peace troubled his mind.
Mingled with firewater he would
fight at the drop of his own greasy
cap, and drop it himself. But the
switchman has improved with age.
He was always brave and daring.
He is extravagant, but never lazy.
He is an Indian" in that he is
apt to grow weary of the mOnotony
of life in any particular locality. He
moves, often before the rent is
due. 81 want job" said a switch
man, as he leaned over the railing
in the yardmaster's Office. What
road you FROM" asked the yard
master, and the switchman an
swered, All but this one, and I'd
probably be from this one in a
week"
7 = IN
fer that all the tough railway en-
ployes of yesterday were switch
men, for there have been great i'm
prOvements in the morale of the
service, and, of course, the switch
man has improved and developed
along with other trainmen, but he
was handicapped in he beginning.
Perhaps the hazard Of his calling
tended to make him reckless of his
own life and limbs, and correspond
ingly Indifferent to the welfare of
his fellowmen. But f any one be
in trouble, especially if the
troubled one happens to be a
woman or a child the switchman
will empty his pocket to assuage
the distress, In fact, he is as gen.
erous as he is brave. Now, with
improved conditions, and a lessen
ing of danger, and the growing con-
viction that a good witchman need
not necessarily be tough, the
switchman is evoluting. The old
dreaded death-trop-the open frog
into which the switchman of yes
terday used to find his foot caught,
Is no more. In large Yards they
have special switch engines with
high platforms, level with the
coaches, for switching passenger
cars. In fact, the railway mana
gers are working constantly to les
sen the danger in the yard, which
is the workshop of the switchman.
When the long, soot-stained
freight train crawls YEARLY into
the divisional yards, the conductor,
bearing his dinner pail and a
bundle of waybills, a,ights and be-
takes himself to the yardmaster's
Office, where he registers the ar
rival of his train and deposits the
waybills. His responsibility for
the train is at an end when these
operations are completed. Before
he reaches the little home in the
suburbs, where the kids" are
anxiously waiting for daddy" a
switch engine, nervously respon-
sive to the signals of a man in
dirty overalls, is tearing that long
freight train to pieces and hurting
the units into various sidings
designated by the man in the
overalls. The man in the over
alls is called a "swttchman."
In these large yards particularly,
the switchman must be a man of
quick eye, feet of foot and OF
sound and steady nerves 1t is his
duty to seize the cars by the cor.
