Attorney Rhodes. who represent

The Barber people had a contract
to tear up Sprague av. near Madi-

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Machines
of a type so wonderful in their OPP
GRAFTON as to be almost uncanny
handle a large part of the business
of the Western Union Telegraph Co.
BY their use messages are sent and
received automatically
For instance, ir Chicago a narrow
strip of paper, perforated with many
small. irreeularly arranged holes, is
run rapidly through a machine. In
this city the message is printed in a
regular telegraph blank by an auto
matte type writer. y girl attending
to do but supply It with blanks for
the messages that are tapped off far
more rapidly than would be possible
by human agency.
J. c. Barclay, assistant general
manager and electrical engineer of
the Western Union, is the inventor.
He has been with the company for
SO years and has devised q number
of improvements in Geographic APP
paratus, This machine, his master
piece, was completed after IS years
of study and experiment.
Girls from the typewriter schools
serve as operators. TO prepare a
message for sending, girl taps 1t

writer keyboard. Instead of printing
it, however, the machine registers
the message by a series of holes on
paper tape. AS soon as a message
ha been thu recorded, the trip of
tape containing it is run through a
sending machine and the message is
received on blank at the end of
the wire, ready for delivery.
This wonderful new machine does
work that has heretofore been be-
lieved impossible of accomplishment
without the human hand.
Mr.. Barclay SAYS that hts COM
pany now handles one-sixth of its
business on these machine. They do
SO per cent more business at SIS
per cent less cost. The machine has
been worked between this city and
San Francisco, $500 miles, which is
the longest land line in the world.
The machine, Barclay says, could
readily be attached to a typesetting
machine SO that message sent
from the perforated tape in this city,
for instance, couli be reproduced in
type in a Chicago newspaper office.
No call has been made, however, for
that combination The next step
will be the application of the ma
chine, if possible, to the submarine

NOTICE TO BEEKEEPERS

Arson S. White, superintendent

every beekeeper that desires to ex-

| WASHINGTON. D. c., July 1874
In ruling just agreed upon by the
interstate commerce commission
the federal government will take its
| first important step toward the
elimination of state legislatures and
state railway commissions in the
control of railway rates. BY this
ruling all 2-cent fare legislation
SO far as 1t touches interstate traf-
fic-is declared to be void.
The opinion has been prepared
by Commissioner Jas. Harlan. and
it has the Endorsement Of the other
commissioners.
The commission holds, in effect,
that the right to regulate interstate
commerce is an exclusive right,
vested by the Hepburn law in the
federal government. It Is superior
to any state government. Moreover
the commission understands that
the Hepburn act has conferred this
right upon the interstate commerce
commission. The commission,
therefore, will disregard any state
railway commissions, and acts pass
ed by state legislatures, and will
undertake to deal with interstate
rates and regulations in entire dis
regard of local authorities.
The subject has come before the
commission in considering the reg
ulation of through rates. The COM
mossion has authority under the
Hepburn law to compel carriers to
make through rates, and to deter.
mine whether any through rate
made by carrier is reasonable
one. In determining this question,
the commission announces that 1t
will do so without considering itself
bound by 2-cent fares or other rates
prescribed by state authorities.
Take for illustration a through
rate from Chicago to New Orleans.
The carrier making this rate passes
through Illinois, Kentucky, Tennes.

Now suppose the legislature of H.
linois passes law las it did last
winter) saying that the fare
through Illinois shall be no more
than 2 cents a mile.
For the purposes of the illustra.
ton it may be presumed that the
legislatures of the other states
do not pass any such law. Now the

W. W. P. FRAMING UP
POLITICAL FUTURE

According to recent statement
the w. W. P. Co. is now willing to
recognize the union by meeting
with committees and will pay the
union scale to its linemen and
electricians. 1t is not stated that
the company will agree to the
"closed shop" as has been done
by the Traction Co.
There is a we'll founded belief
that the change of front by the big
power monopoly is due to the de-
feat of its candidate for mayor in
the recent city election. Whisper
ing Harry Blocker now realizes
that te old order of things has
passed away and tht he will have
to trot out his candidates for
county Offices and have them con-
firmed by the people in direct
primary election If the company is
to maintain its hold on the court
house.
Under these circumstances it is
not strange that the w. w. P. Co.
feels the necessity of making an
effort to conciliate not only labor
but the public generally.
Had either Daggett or Doust
been successful in the recent city
election there is no reason to be-
lievc that Whispering Harry and

BUTTE, July 18.--The Northern

neer James Graham last night in
the demand for speed with the
North Coast Limited train. The en-
gineer who had been pulling the
train from Butte to Missoula used
caution on the mountain curves
and was considered too slow for
the run.

under instructions to make the
time. He tried to and when they
dug him out of the wreck at a
curve near Garrison his hand. still

Chamberlain, conductor, and T.

injured.
Six cars and the engine went
into the ditch. The train left the
rails on account of the high speed
maintained over curves in the eff
fort to make the speed required.

WILL SWEAR ORCHARD
WAS IN BUTTE

BUTTE. July 1S.-At least 6
Butte men will be called upon to
60 to Boise and testify in the Hay
wood trial relative to Orchards
residence in Butte during the year
1902, thus impeaching the testi-
mony of the multi-murderer. who
claims he was not in Butte since
1899.
These men will be called if sur
rebuttal testimony can be intro
duced. One of the men who knew
Orchard intimately is Thomas
Bradley. The attorneys say that 6
are willing to testify and that
probably leo knew Orchard, but do
not care to be mixed up in the
case.
To some of these witnesses he
was known as Orchard and to one
he confided that he was a Pinker-
ton man and he said the Pinkertons
were good friends of his. On | oc-
casion he confided to Butte
man: I'D be hanged if it were not
for the Pinkertons."

public, especially when the public
has such a weapon as the direct
primary, and it will from now on
attempt to coneiliate where it for
merry insulted and ignored, and an
early beginning has been deemed
advisable, evidently.
General Manager Huntington has
repeatedly stated that he is in the
market to buy labor at the lowest
possible figure, and there is no
reason to believe that he has had
change of heart during the last
few months. That any concession
of noticeable value will be granted
looks doubtful.
