Old River Captain

Captain Grant P. Marsh~of Bismarck.

middle west and q captain on the
Mississippi river for. nearly 81 years.
was a visitor in the city the past. week,
the guest Of Mr.. II. M. Roberts, Mrs.
Gordon Dodd and E. X. Leonard.
,Captin Marsh is a most interesting
character and can tell fascinating stories
of river life for hours at a time. He has
written his memoirs, the experiences of
81. years on the Mississippi and the
manuscript was accepted'last month by
the Outing Publishing Co. and will soon
be issued in book form on a royalty
basis. The book promiess to be, 9 great
seller. The story of the Captain's life
is full of exciting incidents. He was
captain of the ship which removed the
injured soldiers in the Custer massacre
and carried them down the river. He
tells an interesting story of how he out
witted the Indians on the trip. At a
place in the river there was an island.
The Dickinson press., 1908-12-19

All along the channel were lined up
hundreds of Indians and it meant death
to pass by for the stream was so narrow.
The captain steered his ship down the
other side of the island with no know
ledge of his course. The Indians dis
covered the vancouver and crossing the
river followed the ship down stream.
If the vessel had gone aground it would
have meantsdeath for all. At one place
it did stick but before the savaees
reached them the vessel was off the reef
and all were saved
J.. M. Sipes of Miles City, the father of
Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Dodd, was with
Captai in Marsh when this happened.
E. X. Leonard. of the firm of Leonard
& Ponroy Of this city. was Captain
Marsh's mate during the summer five
years ago. The Captain returned to
Bismarck yesterday.

USE TELEPHONES
Railroads Are Soon to Give 'Up
Using the Telegraph to Despatch
and Operate Trains. Will At
feet Northern Pacific.

The 3 Of the telephone as an instru-
ment for the dispatching and operation
of trains on American railroads will
soon become obsolete as the result of an
action of the American Railway associa-
ton at its meeting in Chicago last week.
says the Tribune.
After an investigation extending over
nearly a year by a committee appointed
to consider the subject it has been found
that the telephone is not only as safe
as the telegraph for directing the move
ment of trains but is more efficient and
economical. In consequence the railroads
will proceed to substitute the new system
for the telegraph.
This does not mean that every tele-
graph instrument is to be thrown into
the scrap heap at once. as the install
lation of the telephone will necessarily
take time and involve considerable ex-
pense. 1t was learned this week, how
ever, that the railroads are planning to
put the recommendation of the associa
tion, which represents over two hundred
and fifty thousand miles of road, into
effect as soon as possible, with the ulti-
mate intention of completely abandoning
the u 8 of the telegraph. The two sys-
TENS have been used side by side here
tofore, as the same wires can be used
for both, but the investigation of the
committee has shown that the telephone
is 80 far superior that there is little
object in retaining the telegraph except
for commercial purposes. The main adj
vantages, according to members of the
committee, are in the saving in time
and in the fact that the telephone can
be used by any n e.
The investigation of the possibilities
of the telephone and the decision to
recommend it, as a standard instrument.
Is the direct result of the working of the
nine hour law. This made it necessary
for the roads to employ three instead of
two operators at many stations. and to
employ eight thousand additional men,
increasing their expenses by over ten
million dollars a year. As the Order of
Railway Telegraphers has refused to
allow its members to instruct student
operators it was in many cases difficult
to secure new men and the roads i'm
mediately turned to the telephone as a
possible remedy for the situation.
A storm of opposition from the tele-
eraphers' union is expected to result.
ss thousands of operators will be com
PEELED eventually to seek new employ
ment OF accept positions at reduced
wages as telephone operators. A new
field of employment for women will also
be opened up, as well as for superan'
nuated employees of the railroads in
other departments.
Railroads running out of Chicago have
already installed the telephone on over
three thousand miles of line. it was
tated yesterday, and as a result of the
decision of the association the installa-
lions will be rapidly extended.
The Northwestern is now operating its
lines as far as Baraboo, Wis. by tele-
phone; the Illinois Central is using this
system as far as Cairo, III. F.; the St.
Paul road is using over two hundred
miles of telephone wires for dispatch
ing. and the Burlington has about one
hundred and fifty miles in use.
