Turkeys were turkeys in Idaho

stretched his legs under the table in
front of the national bird this season
either paid so much per or was given a
present of the fowl. By order of the
authorities there was no gambling, and
it was either paid-for turkey or liver
and onions. In many of the homes twas
the latter. The edict went fourth that
no rattle would be permitted and in con-
sequence many families went turke,

not accept charity, but are willing to
accept the ukase and go hungry before
they will accept something for nothing.

When Wood Was the Fuel.

The original American locomotives
were nearly all wood burners, and
during protracted period, before the
invention Of spark arresters, the fly
ing sparks caused great amount of
damage and annoyance. interviewer
with this difficulty was a necessity
for using smokestacks many times
larger than those now in use--too
high, indeed. to pass under overhead
bridges or the roof of covered wood
en- bridges To overcome this diff
Guilty the smokestack OF many OF the
locomotives were jointed or hinged SO
that they could be lowered when
trains were proceeding over or under
bridges. This naturally greatly in.
creased the danger of setting fire to
the wooden bridges, and it was Gus
tomary for Waterman to follow
every train over or under the bridges,
carrying bucket Of water FOR the pur-
pose OF extinguishing fires. Notwith
standing this precaution the burning
of bridges was most common oc
currence.
On most OF the early railroads the
cars were at first entirely uncovered
being in fact merely platform cars
with row Of seats along each side
lfrhe passengefsswere unprotectedsfrotl

Have lnatruction Car.

The newest attempt to increase the
efficiency of railroads working force
and diminish thereby the fatality lists,
which have been growing from year
to year with the reduction of running
time. is the travelling instruction car,
now in operation on the Union Pacific
railroad.
Instead of being equipped with.
states and blackboard, to facilitate
their work in imparting Information,
the Union Pacific's corps of travelling
schoolmasters have sets Of air brakes,
signal apparatus and all the compli-
Gated machinery which goes to make
up the operating end of a great rail
way system. A two months cam
paign of education is thus being car
ried on wheel, during which 5000
employees, scattered over almost 5000
miles of territory, will be required to
undergo examination as to their eff
cheney
The Union Pacific adopted on Au-
gust l a new book of almost 1000
regulations, designed to increase the
alertness and efficiency of its en-
ployes OF these regulations 60 were
new, and the lecture tour was started
to insure uniform understanding Of
them by trainmen, conductors, engi-
neers, brakemen and other operatives
upon whose knowledge the safety of
the travelling public depends.
The instruction coach is fitted up
with seats and has raised platform
at one end. equipped with charts, me-
chanical devices and stereopticon IL
lustrations of interlocking plants. The
car also contains miniature automat-
ic block signal section of track
Promotion on the road is to be made
contingent, hereafter, upon exact
knowledge, and the management has
announced that advancement will be
placed as nearly on the basis of a
naval or military school as possible.
"Al this involves a great deal of
trouble and time" said General Mana
ger Mohler of the Hartman road
but railroading has become of such a
scientific nature that the old methods
are entirely obsolete and unsafe"
