TESTING A new
MAIL DEVICE
ing Pouches From Moving Trains
Being Tried Here.

Several postoffice officials are here
testing a device for catching and de-
livering mail bags on a moving train.
The test was started yesterday be-
tween here and Silvis, but the setting
of the mail posts was not satisfactory
and had to be changed. The tests
were continued today.
The postal service is in possession
of number of trial devices for catch
ing mail bags, but the problem of de-
livering them is the one that is caus-
ing the trouble. 1t is claimed for this
latest device that it will place a mail
bag at the foot of the post without
causing it to roll any, and will catch
the one hanging on the post at almost
the same instant.
The government requires that the
device work on a train running at any
speed up to 60 miles an hour If the
one being tested is satisfactory it will
be worth considerable to the inventor.

ond Put Through in Jiffy
Marking a Contrast.

The promptness and thoroughness
new switches and curves of the Tri-
city Railway company at the corner
of Nineteenth street and Second ave
nue., has attracted considerable atten-
ton In view of the tedious delay that
characterized the progress of track
work last year under the operation
of j. G.. White & Co. In week with
a force OF men under the supervision
of the company's old time superinten-
dent of construction, Pete Anderson.
an intricate piece of work with cars
passing all the time and with frequent
Interruptions by rain. the company it
self has accomplished in fourth of
the time that was occupied by the
construction firm that had charge of
the track operation last year, at a
single crossing without traffic entire
ly cut off.
A similar switch to that put in at
Nineteenth street is now to be laid at
Seventeenth street.
Had the company followed the ideas
of its predecessor last year, it would
have come nearer keeping its promise
that at the end of the year not foot
of old track would be left in the three
fcities. AS it Is, there is much left
over to be done in both Rock Island
and Moline that might have been done
last year The reconstruction that has
received attention is first class. and
substantial in every particular, but
there is whole lot yet to do on this
side of the river at least.
