TELEPHONE INSTEAD OF
TELEGRAPH FOR RAILWAYS

The use OF the telephone instead
of the telegraph in dispatching and
blocking trains, which was recon-
mended by the American Railway
associate at its last meeting is be-
ing rapidly extended by several OF
the Western lines.
The Santa Fe. which has for a
long time used private telephone sys-
tens in connection with it's tele-
graph lines. is now equipping its
line from Kansas City TO Newton,
Kansas, with telephone line for dis
patching trains
The Chicago and Northwes ern,
which has this season equipped its
Madison division from Janesvilit TO
Baraboo Wisconsin. and the Wis
consin division from Chicago to
GAINESVILLE with train dispatchers'
telephone lines, Is now completing
the installation OF a similar equip
ment between Baraboo and Win
ona. Wisconsin. The Northwestern
officials have been particularly pleas
ed with the workings OF the system
as thus far installed.

Has Not Abandoned Plan.

Pasco, Wash.-That the ,1enton
Water & Power company has by no
lhehas abandoned its original plan
10 dam the Snake river at Five mile
rapids, Is evidenced by the thorough
ana systematic progress being made
IN that direction. While nothing
DEFINITE has been given out by the
omcers and employees of the COM
pany, 1T is nevertheless known that
the small details which will ultimate
ly result in the construction of the
dam, providing the bill passes the
present session OF congress are now
being carried out. President Roose-
velt's failure to sign the bill after
passing both branches of congress
has by no means discouraged the
company, and its officers firmly be-
lieve that they have the undivided
support OF both houses. Indeed, it
is known that several members OF
the upper house have given their
promise to "pass the bill over the
presidents head" il necessary. En-
couraging reports as to the support
looked for throughout the west
have been received and residents of
Pasco are confident that the bill will
be given every possible encourage
ment,
