INVENTION OF UTAH MAN
Produces Beet Topper Which Will
Take Place of Fifty Boys in
Work Performed

Isehi Aug i7.-Abe GudmunSen. a 10
cal jeweler and goldsmith. has invented
a beet topper which will do the work of
fifty boys or thirty Japs. The topper Is
drawn by a horse and tops two rows at
a time. The knives are arranged so
that they adjust themselves automatical-
" and cut Just the desired amount off
each beet, whether it is one or six inches
above ground. The adjustment is ar
ranged by means of a wide flat-rimmed
wheel which rolls over the beet just IN
front of the knife and to which 1t IS at at
tached. The wheel is kept on top of the
beet row by means SOf a narrow sharp
projection from its center and outer edge,
which cuts into the beet and keeps it
from slipping sideways. The wheel to
which the knife is attached Is so arranged
that il is free to work up or down over
high or low beet. Experiments con-
Quoted this week demonstrated that the
topper will do the work better than the
average boy, there being but a few
changes necessary to make il practically
perfection Mr. Gudmunsen Is now en-
gagged making two machines for the mar
vest next month. He will note carefully
the changes necessary and after the har-
vest is completed will arrange for the
manufacture of the topper on large
scale.
The Lehi public schools will open Sept.
with twenty instructors as follows:
Fred D. Worlton, district supervisor.
Kari Hopkins, principal of High school;

ter. Christie Ellingson, Edna Hacketts

CITY HALL FOR RICHFIELD
New Structure Will Cost $4,000
and viii Be Finished by First
of Next Year.

Richfield, Aug. 1.-THE city cuncil has
at last decided to build a new city hall
1t will be a fine structure and will cost
about $1,000 beside building a large grand
stand for the band to give outdoor con-
certs. The location has also been select
ed-the corner north of the Sewer stake
tabernacle on Main street. Counciimen
Coons, Wright and Peterson were ap-
pointed a special COMMITTEES to invite
plans and make the preliminary arrange
ments for the building. 1t is expected
to have the building finished by the first
of the year.
Rapid progress is now being made on
the Jensen & Young building The big
steel beams arrived last week and have
been put in place and large force Of
masons and carpenters are rushing the
work.
The electric light and telephone com
panies of this city have reached an
agreement for the joint use of new set
of poles which are to be placed on Main
street and some of the other important
streets Of RiChfield. The poles are all
TO be Oregon fir and larger and taller
than the poles now in use. Some of
them are now here and are being put in
place. When these poles are all erected
the telephone company VIII stretch ca
bles for carrying the wires in crowded
sections of the city.
County Superintendent P. D. Jensen of
Monroe was in Richfield this week on
business connected with the examination
of teachers. Mr.. Jensen stated that not
more than two or three districts in the
county had their full quota of teachers
employed and some of them had Only two
or three where from five to ten will be
needed. The failures in the state examl-
nation, the decision of a number of for
mer teachers not to re-engage this year
and the desire Of many others to make 4
change in location has left the list of
applicants so far very limited. He seid
it was going to take considerable rustling
to get all the teachers needed in this
county by the time school starts.

Al per cent, and messengers. $3.50, 800,
or 81 per cent.
There are four different methods of
operating telegraph wires: The single
or Morse system, by which only one
message can be sent by key at a time;
the duplex system, by which two
messages can be sent simultaneously
In opposite directions over the same
wire; the quadruple system, by which
four messages can be transmitted ever
one wire at the same time-two from
each end simultaneously: and printing
and automatic systems. which make
possible a higher rate of speed than
can be attained by hand. The message
i'm automatic machine syStems, as in
the familiar Wheatstone, is usually
prepared beforehand by perforating
strips of paper that are then run
through the transmitter at a high rate
of speed. BY one of the latter printing
systems the Western Union Telegraph
company has transmitted over 1900, 000
messages. but at the same time they
do not gain ground either here or in
Europe.
Along the right of way Of steam rail-
way companies the commercial tele-
graph systems had ISL ,921 miles of pole
line, on which were strung 554 ,319 miles
of single wire. or 72.4 per cent Of the
total wire mileage operated by II
commercial telegraph systems. OF this
wire, $50. 400 miles were copper wire
and 1880 were iron. In addition 10
this wire the railway companies owned
and operated a large mileage in con-
nection with the transportation bust
ness.
There are 6S4 railway companies that
reported the operation of telegraph OF
telephone lines in connection with the
transportation business. In their re-
ports to the interstate commerce COM
mission the railway companies fur
nished considerable information con-
corning their telegraph and telephone
systems.
The railway companies operated 204,-
500 miles of single track and had 1,127.-
1876 miles of single wire along their
right of way. OF this wire mileage
which includes both telegraph and tel
ephone lines, no segregation being pos
sible, only 242,S37 miles, or 21.5 per
cent, were owned by the railways
The railway companies reported 81,
27S telegraph offices, but only 30,33t
telegraph operators. 1t is probable
that in a number of instances the rail-
way companies reported es station
masters, agents, etc., employees who
also perform the duty of telegraph OPP
orator. and that these were not includ-
ed with the operator
