Blaney, the well known manager and author, saw several years ago, the great pos sil,ility of story of the far West to be produced upon the stage, but like all of his enterprises, he gave 1t careful consideration. "A Child of the Regi- ment," Is the conception and will serve to introduce another new star from MT. Blaney's brain, Miss Vivian Prescott, whom theater goers will remember for her pleasing work last season MT Blaney is very enthusiastic over Miss Prescott, and thinks he has worthy successor to Lotta and the late Annie Pi2ley. The story of the piece Is cen tered around the young lady's home. and Is an actual experience in her younger life, when she was virtually adopted by the cavalry boys at Fort Prescott, and as she herself says, there wax no greater tyrant in the world than Little Major, the name. she was known by throughout the fort MT. Blaney has given the piece one of the greatest scenic productions in years, and claims that the Dakota blizzard in the third act will cause many person in the audience to shiver and turn up their coat collars. The company Is a largo one. consisting of over twenty acting people, and company of genuine cow boys.

RErRENoHMENT CAUSES WRECK
Taking of of Flagman at Sharp Curve is Accepted Cause of Col
 Us,on

It is now believed that the cause of the wreck which occurred in the cut Tuesday, and might have resulted in SO much more disastrous consequences, was directly due to the removal of one of the fagmen whose duty it has been to keep trains from smashing together while proceeding through the terminal where the block system is lacking. The flagman at the section of the cut un- der Grand avenue is still retained, but the man who has been posted for years near Olive street was done away with. That had he been there the wreck could not have occurred is the con- sensus of opinion.
 Assistant Superintendent Ross of the railroad has not made public his find ing in tho wreck and 1t Is not expected that he will give out any statement for publication.

Kept Cars and
Tracks Busy
The Railway Side Of the Question
and Answers to Criticisms by
President Elliot.

The manufacturer who secure S
the largest gross out put from each
machine, the farmer who harvests
the largest number of bushels from
each acre, other things being equal
makes the best ue of his imple-
ments and gets the most returns
for his labor, writes Howard Elliot
president of the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t appears from the of
fetal reports of the interstate
commerce commission that the av-
erage number Of ION miles, that is,
of tons of freight carried enc mile,
for each freight car run i'll the
whole United States in the year
ending June 50. 1905. was lo7.693.
That is what the freight car, re-
garded as a machine, p oduced. In
the same year each freight car on
the Great Northern averaged 1872
100 tons one mile, and the Northern
Pacific 24,os3
Two other roads are cited for
comparative purposes, the figures
being take from Poo,'s Manual of
Railroad Statistics, the national
authority. Alorg western S, stems
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
with the advantage of a more thick
ly settled territory, carried 98,7o7
tons one mile per car; while among
eastern roads, the New York Cen
trail system, running between the
two greatest cities of the country,
thru a heavily populated region
aud with all almost lie. Ell track =,
carried I2S,74S.
KEPT THE EQUIPMENT BUSY
The people of the Northwest
have had from each unit of the
equipment placed at their service
the largest amount of actual use.
The figures for the year ending
June 30, 1906, show a st II further
advance. For this year the excess
of tons carried per car in this sec
ton over the record for the whole
United States III 1905 is more than
IS per cent.
BY density of freight traffic is
meant the amount of business act
ually done for each mile Of road.
II is obtained bv d viding the
whole number of freight tons, that
Is, the number Of tons of freight
carried one mile, by the whole
number of miles in a system. This
obviously will show how busy each
mile has been kept.
SOME OF THE DRAWBACKS
Here are single track roads, run
ming thru country but partly de-
veloped, crossing the backbone of
the continent, passing thru tunnels
where train have to wait their turn,
with long and heavy grades in the
mountain region, fighting snow
blockades during several months of
the year, confronted by pretty
nea ly every obstacle known to rail
reading aud they snow density of
traffic from 80 to 90 per cent in ex-
oess Of other western 81 stems. If
the service given to the people of
this section IS still below their re-
quirements, it is at least certain
that operating efficiency has been
pusht to the highest pint achieved
i'll this or any other country.
With equipment increasing as
rapidly as money can secure it with
each car and engine doing maxi
mum work, and each mile of track
carrying the maximum load, rail-
road homogeneous can hardly be
accused, With fairness, of apathy or
neglect.

many ways in his state. and the decision
made to have his statue at the national
Capitol seems but a natural outcome OF
the continued honors that have been show
cred upon him. DIR. Long first used an
anaesthetic March 80, 1872. at Jefferson,
where a monument marks the spot on which
he used it in operating upon patient
HE patient was James Venable, from
whose neck several virulent tumors were
removed. DIR. Long employed sulphuric
ether and about the same time operated In
similar manner upon other patients with
out causing them physical pain. 1t was
not until four years later that DIR. Nor
ton of Massachusetts had one OF his own
teeth extracted painlessly while under the
influence of ether.
Five years after DR. Longs first painless
operation. Sir James Y. Simpson of Edin-
burgh, used a preparation of chloroform
as anaesthetic in his practice.
Result of Observation.
Dr. Longs discovery resulted from OBJ
serving a subject under the influence OF
ether which was given him as means OF
observing his queer antics. At that time
he observed that the subject seemed to be
oblivious to pain. and the thought occurred
to him that surgical operation might be
performed upon patient under that In
fiuence without giving pain.
Beside his great eminence as a surgeon,
DIR. Long possessed an attractive person
ality. He loved harmless fun. and was ex-
tremely companionable. He loved the sim

friend Alexander Hamilton Stephens. he op-
posed secession. but when it came he sup
ported his state.
Dr. Long died when sixty-two years of
age, being engaged in the practice Of his
profession until the end came. He died
literally while ''in harness" At the time of
his death he did not know that the priority
of his claim as the discoverer of anaesthe-
STA would be so widely recognized as 1t is
at this time. The dispute over the identity
of the discoverer of anaesthesia occupied
Congress- but was not settled during the
lifetime of DR.. Long.
