THE BLOCK SYSTEM"
APPLIED TO BUSINESS
An Invention Which Will be Exhibited
at the National Business Show.

New York. Aug. 6.-(Special Corre-
spondence of the Republican.)-Use of
the famous Block System" in rail-
roading has prevented many a collision
and other bad accidents, but the idea
Of applying the same principle to bus
mess in the conduct of factory and Of
flee affairs seems little overdrawn,
but II is a fact that this will soon be
done. According to the details of an
invention just perfected at Rochester.
y. Y, a man has brought out a device
for keeping track of employees and
their time in the same manner in
which the block system keeps track of
trains. In this age of increased ex-
penses in all lines, business men find
that they must economize in time. The
device just perfected will keep accur-
ate track of every moment of an en-
ployee whether engine wiper or steno-
grapher. and 1t is so constructed that
when an employe is given a task he
can receive no credit for his time until
IL is completed. The system of divid-
ing time and work into blocks as the
railroad divides its right of way. makes
1t impossible for a workman to enter
one block until he has cleared the last
one. The device is absolutely auto
matte and the record it makes is in
fallible. II Is so constructed that an
employe cannot beat 1t. 1t will save
thousands of dollars in lost time and
promises to work some radical changes
in the conduct of large concerns. The
inventor has never exhibited his device
publicly although II has ZEN thor
oughly tested. The first time it will be
shown will be during the National
Business show at Madison Square
Garden in New York, October IL to 10.
and at the same show in Chicago. at
the Coliseum November to Is. and il
will prove to be of intense interest
from many standpoints. At these big
shows many new devices will be seen.
For the first time in the history of the
business the stationers will have a

KANSAS CRY MARKE!S.
Review Of Prices and Conditions Of
the Week.

Kansas City, Aug. ia large reduc-
tion in cattle receipts last week as
compared with the previous week. en-
abled statesmen to secure advances on
all kinds. ranging from 10 to 25 cents.
The supply Is 5000 today several
thousand less than was expected. and
the market is firm. A feature lately is
the strong demand for country grades,
this class showing most advance last
week. and supplies below actual re-
quirements. One train of medium class
Colorado stockers came in last week,
and sold at 1885. but the movement
from the west is not started as yet A
train of the Parsons beef steers is ex-
pected today or tomorrow. which will
give pretty good line on the market
as compared with last year: they are
expected to sell at s4.75 to s. If as rep
resented. Top fed steers today sold
at s7.15. and bulk of grass cattle from
native territory brought $3.50 to $3.50.
native feeders up to 1915. bulk of
stockers and feeders S375 to S5.I5,
grass cows s2.65 to s4.25, heifers up to
s4.75. bulls $3.50 to ss5O. veal calves
25 to 50 cents higher than week ago.
at $3.50 to s6.25. Receipts from quar-
antine territory are only about one
half as heavy as during July and VOL
ume of supply from that section will
continue moderate till the close of the
season. in october.
Sheep receipts are extremely small.
only $4,000 head here last week, and
$500 here today. The market made
gains at the close of last week and is
firm today, top lambs s7.65. Colorado
spring lambs at $3.50. Colorado ewes
$500, top native ewes $3.50. wethers
worth up to s5.S5. and yearlings s6.25.
A bad break in eastern mutton markets
last week was almost unobserved here.
as the outlet to other sections from
this point has been sufficient to absorb
all that came at strong prices. A few
Arizonas were included last week, but
supplies were mostly natives. There is
a strong inquiry for stock and breed
ing stuff. and this would sell almost
on the same basis as mutton grades.

PRECAUTIONS ADVISED
AGAINST FUEL FAMINE
The Dealers Of the Northwest Urosd to
Make Early Provision.

Chicago. Ang. 11.-Following up ef-
forts already made to avert a repetition
Of last winters fuel famine in the ives,
additional orders have been issued to
local agents of the Union Pacific Rail-
road to advise dealers of the urgent
necessity of laying in their supplies
Immediately.
Attention is called to the fact that
the prohibition against transportation
companies engaging in coal trade after
May l. 1908. has stopped all develop
ment work in this direction by rail-
roads. making II impossible for a large
territory to draw its supplies from the
Wyoming fields. Supplies must now
be sought in Colorado, or east OF the
Mississippi
Good results have followed the action
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, at the request of the Union
Pacific, in authorizing reduction Of
% cents ton on coal shipped to Wash
fngton. Idaho. and Nevada before Sep
tember l. The Company's object in put
ting this rate reduction into effect il
to induce dealers TO order fuel now
when 1t can be readily handled. rather
than to wait. as they did last winter.
until transportation is difficult il not
impossible.
BY September l local Union Pacific
freight agents are required to report
the amount and kind Of coal each deal
er has in stock on that date. and IL
dealers have failed to get their supplies
to report the reason. On its own ac-
count the Company has stored eeaeo
tons of eastern coal. and states that
the public can only be assured of fuel
next winter by dealers filling their
sheds now

States and Canada within twenty four
hours, according to National Secretary
Russell. The statement was made by
Russell after he had been informed of
the action taken by the men in New
York who at meeting today decided
to hold a walkout in abeyance until the
latter part Of the week. THE strike
movement" said Russell, has come to
the point where there can be no back
ing down. The telegraphers have been
trodden on long enough by the compa-
nies. and now that we have the oppor-
tunity we are going to use all our
strength to enforce all demands For
several weeks President Small and my
self have been holding the telegraphers
back and have been advising concilia-
tion, but they have taken matters into
their own hands and we are going to
stand by them. No union man will be
allowed to work with any one not be-
longing to the union, and this means
that tomorrow morning when the busi-
ness week begins, the strike will be-
come universal. We can't go half way
in this matter. The strike has been
precipitated BY the men themselves,
without the sanction of the national of
ficers, but we are all working in uni
son. and anything the officials of the
various unions throughout the country
have done in calling the strike meets

nouncement was made by Russell at a

ITO all Publishers:-The union does
not desire in any way whatever to
hamper the newspapers of the country.
We are fighting for our rights howev-
er. and believing the operators employ
ed in this service are underpaid, we
have authorized the men to present a
schedule to their employers asking for
what we consider a reasonable recon-
pense for their labors. IL the demands
are not met within the specified time,
the men will be ordered to quit work. :"
In Chicago today the officials of both
companies declared that they had
more men working than were needed.

ness" said one of the officials. But we
could have handled twice as much bus

ed by Ross of Humboldt.
The above special telegram indicates
that Curley and the Phoenix Athletic
baseball team, were handed something
beside which the battle of Waterloo
was not a circumstance and Gettys-
burg only d joke. Ii is suspected that
the valley ooys didn't get close enough
to even find fault with the umpire.
The most unexplainable feature of the
report Is why with such a cyclone un-
der control, the Prescott managers
permitted the visitors TO get any runs
at all. II they could manipulate des-
tiny in such a way. what was the pur-
pose OF the mountainecrs in holding
out any mercy at all. Why did they
not sink the gaff in right from the
start and keep il there until the victim
was dead and his hide nailed to the
wall? Such barbarity is hardly looked
for in the twentieth century. Had
there been no runs at all on the Phoe-
nix side the team could have pleaded
stringhalt or locomotor ataxia. There
is a narrowing fear in Phoenix now
that the boys are so slow they will not
be able to get from the background to
the depot In time to catch the train.
unless il is four hours late. As for
pitching, il seems to have become a
lost art with the Phoenix players. The
records show that Williams was once
a stem winder but he seems to have
run down yesterday. The others who
succeeded him have also done some
good box work here in the valley from
time TO time though they never had SO
notable a reputation but yesterday 1t
seemed that Prescott was what is
known in scientific circles as an ir-
resistible force. 1t can only be ac-
counted for on the theory that the ball
grounds were drugged and exhaled
noxious gas that affects only the peo-
pie accustomed to low attitudes. All
that Phoenix can say to Prescott is
Take your old championship, we
didn't want it anyway
But seriously the dispatcn rather in
dicates that Manager Taylor had or
ganized a surprise party: that he had
invited the Humboldt team to ielp him
give the visitors a good time. There
will probably be no complaint on that
score but Mr.. Taylor must feel pretty
cheap over il; about like the United
States and England would after COM
bining their navies to make a demon
stration before the Feejee islands. or
like Jim Jeffries would after sending
for Battling Nelson to help him despoil
a baby of its nursing bottle. But never
mind. the baby may grow. This a
great climate down here and next year
