First wild Horses.

The first horses of the western plains
probably were brought there by tia
Spaniards In J545, more than fifty
years before Jamestown was settled,
Coronado, the Spanish captain, was
roaming about the plains Of New
Mexico, and he rells OF the dogs used
by the Indians to haul their plumber
ON lodge poles, indicating that they had
nc horses ut that date, says the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
In 17l6 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains
and their letters tell of the astoulsh
mem of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex-
petition was constantly losing horses
and there is little coubt that the first
droves Of western horses originated
from these strays.
In the early days upon the plains
they were as great pest to travellers
as they are to-day. Woe be unto the
luckiess camper who allowed band
of wild horses to get close enough to
his gentle horses, turned out for the
night, to sweep them off. 1t was al
most useless to follow, for the call of
the wild comes to the gentlest af
horses when he is thrown with band
of this kind that have been born and
raised free OF all restraint. 1t is o
we'll known fact that the hardest one
to "cut out" the leader of them all
in mad race across the prairie, is the
old, gentle, well broken saddle or work
horse, once he gets a taste of such
freedom.

IF BLOCK IS CLOSED
ENGINE STOPS ITSELF

The Erie railroad has instituted a
twclve-mile experimental section of an
electrical automatic railroad safety-sig-
nal system that promises much for the
safety of railroad travel.
The engine has brush arrangement
that connects with the third rail, In
the cab are instruments that will BRING
the train TO stop the moment 1T enters
a block on which there is another train
or broken rail, or any other obstruction
The train is stopped automatically.
Then the engineer takes down has
telephone and calls up the nearest sta
tion and asks what is the matter. He
can also talk with the other engineers
on the line.
A time meter, similar to the paper
disk time clock of the wTitchman in big
buildings, renders it impossible for him
TO make false report as to the time
nc received the danger signal and what
he did.
Auothcr signal in the engineer cab
is a green light that burns as long as
tho track is clear, but goes dark as
soon as danger zone is entered.
A push hutton in every station will
stop any train along the track for
miles As soon as the station agent
pushes this button the train comes to
stop. The engineer calls back TO
find out what IL is all about. The agent
explains and gives orders.

As the city is a municipal corporation:
it cannot, therefore, compel payment of

The bonds were never approved by

STEEL TIES SUCCESSFUL
FOR SLOW, HEAVY TRAFFIC

The subcommittee of the American
Railway and Maintenance of Way as
socistion appointed to gather statistics
on the life of metal and composite ties
has reported that the Carnegie tie
(Buhrcr patent) is very satisfactory:
Approximately 200 900 Ties of this
type are in use and SO far they have
withstood the most severe service when
properly installed.
The steel tie, it is stated. gives a
more solid and quick track than the
wooden tie, due to the rigids fastening
Of the rail to the tie.
1t appears to the committee that no
concrete steel tie has yet been produced
which is able to withstand heavy high
speed traffic. without crumbliug, crack
ing or breaking
However, very satisfactory service
has been obtained with concrete steel
ties in number Of instances mostly
in cases where the traffic was of mod
crate speed and not too heavy.
