the holder seen on the left, is push
ed into a groove in the cylinder un-
til all are full. The way in which
no mistakes are made in the dis
tributing and all characters Of a
kind drop into the same slot is
quite wonderful. On each piece of
type are five hicks, and on every
character these hicks are differently
placed so that while all letters of
the same character are just alike,
no two characters are nicked alike.
At the top Of each groove in the
stationary cylinder are little par
titions so arranged that when each
letter comes around and arrives at
a groove where the hicks in the
type and the partitions in the goove
correspond, the type drops into the
cylinder and is ready for use again.
Thus two different characters can
not drop into the same groove and
each channel always contains type
Of the same kind. The distribution
does not interfere with the setting
Of the type and the two processes
can be run at the same time, so
that there is no delay in the COM
position through lack of type.
After next week anyone interest
ed in the working of the machine
will be welcome to visit the office
for the purpose of seeing it in op-
Grafton. The machine is not yet
fully installed and will not be in
good running order until after the
last Of next week. After that time
the operating will be cheerfully
explained to all interested.
S. s. Wolcott, an expert from
the Chicago office, installed the
machine and is now instructing
those who are to operate it. Before
coming to Beach he installed like
machine in the Press office at Dick
inson.

Taft Given Big Reception at Fargo.

Special to the Chrnoicle. Fargo,
N. D. Sept. 28.-From the time
the palatial special train bearing
William Howard Taft and his party
arrived within the borders Of the
Flickertail state yerterday after
noon, until late last night, North
Dakota gave to its great secretary
of war such reception as is rare
ly accorded even presidential cam
didate.
The special train arrived in grand
Forks promptly at $3.50, schedule
time, and the candidate was hur-
ried to the front of the Y. M. C.
A. building, where he delivered
a very short address; being then
rushed to Jacks big roller rink for
another short address,; and from
there to the opera house, where
the overflow of the other two meet
ings filled that building to it's ca
pacity, and then some.
Mr.. Taft was suffering from
severe cold, but he did not spare
himself. He touched upon the
public questions that appear large
in the horizon of the farmer, and
was greeted with hearty applause.
The flower of the republican par
ty was present, and then the special
train pulled out of Grand Forks for
Fargo, fifteen minutes late, it was
crowded with a typical republican
assemblage of the state.
A short stop at Hillsboro was en-
joyed by hundreds of people of
that city, and from there to Far
go the speed ordinances, if any
there be, of the various cities en-
route, were mashed into everlast-
ing smithereens the train making
up all lost time, and reaching Far
go on schedule time, to be greeted
by the largest assemblage ever gath
cred in a North Dakota city. The
newspaper correspondents, expert
at estimating, placed the number
present at fully twenty-five thous-
and. S
A monster parade was beyond the
control of the marshalls, but all
wound up at Island Park, where
Mr.. Taft and his local friends en-.
joyed the barbecue prior to Mr..
Taft's outdoor address.
