He said, however, that feeling pre-
vailed that the squatters who had put
up inexpensive shacks or the locations
chosen recently, would gain very little
prestige. Mr.. Weightman was very for

Adopt A B c System.

An extension over the entire Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys-
TENS Of the A B G system of train dis
patching, invented by Superintendent A.
Beamer Of the idaho division of the Nor
thern Pacific, is expected during the
next few months by local officials of both
roads, says the Spokesman Review.
The A B G system is already in use on
the Northern Pacific from Billings to
Laurel, Mont, and from Trout creek,
Mont, to Auburn, Wash. Since it was
first put into operation on the division
west of Spokane numerous parties of rail
road officials have visited Spokane to in
vestigate its merits. The system has been
investigated by officials of every large
railroad line in the country, and it has
been partially adopted by one of the New
England roads.
The system is an adaptation of the
block system Of train dispatching, put
ting every train directly under the con-
troll Of the dispatcher and doing away
with running by timecard. The respon-
sibility for the train is placed upon the
engineer. Train orders are picked up
without stopping by means of wicke,
loops through which the trainman
thrusts his arm.

NORTHWESTERN and N. P,
AS ONE SYSTEM

While Northwestern railway officials
here refuse to be quoted on the reported
deal whereby the Northwestern has Sc
cured . controlling voice in the Northern
Pacific railway, it has been learned that
the deal has been closed, and arrange
ments are making to operate the two
roads as one system from Chicago to the
sound, says Chicago dispatch.
Under the proposed arrangement a
train of solid Pullmans will be the crack
train and it will run via Helena. The
North Coast limited will run via Butte,
as at present, according to present plans.
In addition to the through trains, there
will be two locals, so that service over the
Northern Pacific will be improved.
This is the dull month in passenger
business, and it may be 80 or 60 days
before the new schedule is made effective,
and in the meantime the equipment un-
der the new deal is being made ready.
/ There will probably be a number Of
changes in present depot arrangements
wherever the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific have been using a station
jointly, where the last named owns the
depot. 1t is said that notice was given
the Great Northern recently that within
80 days it must find other quarters, a.
the new combination will require the
whole of every station now jointly used
by the two lines.
