Automatic Railway Device.

George w. Edgington, a business
man of Idaho Falls, Ida, and a former
railroad man, is a guest at the Healy
hotel, and is Lere on the invitation Of
some Utah and Idaho capitalists for a
new automatic railroad device which
Mr.. Edgington has invented, and of
which he is the patentee, says an Og.
den dispatch. Overtures have been
made to him by Ogden capitalists to
organize a stock company to exploit
the device, which is said by railroad
men to be a most remarkable mechani-
cal improvement for the operation Of
railroad trains.
Will Stop the Train.
In brief, it is an adaptation OF the
air brake principle, whereby in the
case of a broken wheel, a dropped
brakebeam or sand board, the train
will come to a full stop, and thus save
further loss Of property, and possibly
disaster.
Mr.. Edgingtcn will go to Cheyenne
on Wednesday to make a test in the
presence of some Union Pacific officials
of the working of the device with the
view to adopting it on all Hartman
lines.

ON THE FLIP OF A COPPER THE
CHANGE IN AFFAIRS ARE
TO BE MADE.
Land Office Officials to be Changed
Burke for Register and
Willsie for Receiver.

Ringing on the recent coin dipping
contest between Senators Gamble and
Kittredge of this state, there will In
III probability be change or two In
the personnel of the local land office
staff In the near future.
The selection of the man for reg
lister at Rapid City fell to the lot Of
Senator Kittridge, who had the pres
ent register. George Bennett, In mind
for the post. However, the appoint
ment of the receiver fell into the
hands of Senator Gamble who de-
sired Myron Willsie for the place,
which let Mr. Burke out. Mr.. Benz
nett was not satisefld with the turn
affairs had taken and decided to-
withdraw in favor Of Burke and So
informed Senator Kittredge, who will
without doubt act accordingly and
present the latter's name for the
office. n
Mr.. Burke has been connected with
the land office since 1903, and will
undoubtedly prove a worthy success
lsor to Mr.. Bennett. That gentle
man, upon being freed from his gov-
ernmental connections, will devote.
his time to his growing business af-8
fairs. Mr.. Bennett has made him
self an enviable reputation as regis
ter, and hosts Of friends stand ready
to testify as to his efficiency while

Milwaukee Puts on New Service Last
Sunday as Announced.
AS announced last week, the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul installed
their passenger train service Sunday,
and now every evening a brightly
lighted, vestibuled train pulls out
from alongside the Crouch Lines de-
pot, adding its share to the hustle
of our growing city. The train from
the east gets into town about 6:3O
a. M, and is sidetracked for the
day just below the depot. Quite a
number of Rapid Cityans have
looked over the equipment, many Of
them expressing a particular desire
to inspect the special sleeping cars
the Milwaukee owns and operates,
whose greatest bid for fame lies in
the extra sized berths with which
the cars are equipped.

ger Rates in the Opinion of the
Asst Attorney General.


Assistant Attorney General
Daughterty has made return in the
Injunction proceedings instituted by
the railroad of the state, to prevent
the enforcement of 21s cent pas
senger rate, until the matter comes
up efore Judge Garland TO ra hear
ing on the 18th of this month, when
they will put forth their best efforts
to make the Injunction a permanent
ono.
The Assistant Attorney General in
his presentation of the case, does not
agree with the railroads in their con-
tention that rail traffic in South Da-
kota is Improbable, but goes on to
show a. reasonable revenue derived
from such sources for the past three
years. Mr.. Dougherty further holds
that a lower rate will be of great ben
eft to the roads themselves in the
way of creating new business.
The matter is of much Importance

1t is noticeable that the receipts of
the western range cattle are decreas-
ing while supplies of cornfeds are on
the increase, although finished grade
are comparatively scarce as yet. Bus
mess in stockers and feeders has
been active and the trend of prices
stronger from start to finish. Low
prices stimulated the demand while
supplies have been very limited. Val
ues in general are from 10 to 25c
higher than a week ago and a very
good clearance has been made.
Receipts of hogs this week has
not been much over half as large as
a week ago or a year ago and as a
result the market has in a great
measure recovered from the recent
slump. Monday was the low point Of
the season, the trading being all at
100 OF under, but since then there
has been a steady advance of about
40c and the market has taken on
something of its old time activity.
Packers are compelled to pay stiff
prices for the few hogs that are
coming in to supply their demands
for fresh meat but with anything
like liseral supplies it is altogether
probable that prices would again hit
the toboggan. Weight cuts little fig
rre at present although heavy butch
ers sell at the top and underweights
at the bottom of the list.
Sneep receipts have been pretty
much the same as week and year
ago and the decline of the fore
part of this week wipes out practl
cally all of the advance Of the latter
part of last week. Packers are TAX
ing hold more freely than for some
time past and all decent fed stock
finds a ready sale. On the other hand
feeder buyers are not inclined to do
much and the market for thin and
grass stuff has been rather dull and
weak throughout.

ATTACK GOVERNOR CRAWFORD.
Attempt to Make Capital of Cover
nor's Hotel Bills While
in Pierre

A report that Governor Crawford
was running hotel bills at Pierre
without authority received a con-
siderable circulation through the
state last week.. and the executives
enemies made much of the alleged
discrepancy. In defense of Mr..
Crawford's action the Press of Sioux
Falls has the following to say on
the subject.
1T is well known that during the
present year it has been very difficult,
if not impossible, to rent suitable
house in Pierre for the governor and
family. Unless he should take his
wife and five children to a hotel
and board or buy a home, he would
be compelled to live in cramped and
inconvenient quarters, subject to
right of possession in case Of sale.
This is because of the fact that Pierre
is, and all summer has been, over
crowded with people.
The state does not provide a
house at the capital for the governor
to live in. Governor Crawford, on
account of these conditions, has kept
his family at the home in Huron.
The question Of whether or not his
expenses at the hotel, incurred while
there exclusively on state business,
is not properly allowable out of the
appropriation for his office, was re-
ferred to the attorney general upon
the personal request of the governor
himself. Some time ago the attor-
ney general orally advised the state
auditor that the charge was a legal
one against the appropriation as
made. The whole amount is about
forty dollars. Il
If the old machine is anxious to
compare the governors expense ac-
count with that of his predecessors
more in detail, we promise the pub
lie that the governor will not be the
one who will suffer by the compari-
| son -

FOR Government
SAVINGS BANKS
oNINIENDs TO CONGRESS
THEIR ESTABLISHMENT
Postmaster General Meyer Empha-
sizes Need in His Report to
Congress.

That the postal savings bank idea
has a warm supporter in Postmaster
General Meyer, is fact disclosed in
his recent report to- the sixtieth con-
gress now assembled in Washington.
He believes the establishment o
such system of banks would be of
a great benefit to the country, not
only as a means of instilling and
fostering ideas of thrift in the Ameri-
can, but they would also prove an
important factor in keeping large
percentage of the savings that are at
present abroad, within the borders of
this country. The report suggests
that great sums of money are kept
out of circulation through lack of
confidence on the part of its possess
ors who fear to deposit 1t in the
banks, a state of affairs that would
be done away with to considerable
extent If the postal banks were in ex-
istence, in the opinion of Mr.. Meyer.
The postmaster general desires
that authority be extended the in
cumbent of his Office to designate
money order postoffices and certail
others as the occasion may require
to receive deposits for savings ac-
counts in even dollars, making the
minimum deposit $1.OO, while the
total amount on deposit for any one
person must not exceed $4,000. It
it is further suggested that a two.
per cent rate Of interest be allowed
on all savings, which may be withS
drawn at any time, subject to certain
regulations.
To get the money thus accruing
back into circulation, authority is
asked to turn 1t over to such banks
as are government repositories in
the states where the deposits were
made.
f Another Improvement deemed nc.
cessary by the chief Of the postal
service is the establishment Of a par
cells post for packages originating
on rural route or at distributing
postoffice, from where delivery is
made by rural route carrier, the

A better system of bookkeeping for

of an official to a permanent position
as deputy postmaster general or di-
rector Of posts with salary Of not
less than $4,000 per annum, who
shall be as an expert adviser to the
head Of the department and from the
permancy of his position be able to
secure a continuity of policy essen
tial to the usefulness Of the depart
ment, are other moves that the post
master general desires to bring about
about as he believes them to be of
the utmost Importance in aiding to
place the postal service. on an up-to-
date business basis.

HARLAN SERVES THIRTY YEARS
But Five Supreme Court Justices
Have Exceeded the Venerable
Jurist'S Record.

Jurist's Record.
John Marshall Harlan, associate
justice of the supreme court of the
United States completed his thirtietn
year as a member of. that August
body last Friday, and though eligible
for retirement some years. ago, bids
fair to retain his position for some
time to come, matter of great sat
isfaction to his friends and a benefit
to the country at large.
During his lifetime Justice Harlan
has been lawyer, soldier, statesman
and jurist, serving in the Union ar
my curing the Civil war as colonel OF
a Kentucky regiment. He was nom
mated twice for governor of that
state and served as Its attorney gem
eral for term.
Numbered among his personal ac-
ouaintnnces are most Of the proml-
nent men Of the past quarter Of a
century or more.
Mr.. Harlan, in ADDITION to his
sterling qualities as an up-to-dat
American, is a firm believer in ath-
letics, golf forming his principal
means Of ofarecreation.
