the same time he stated the service
would cooperate to the extent at least
of running survey for the highway.
In case the lessees<of the ranch de-
eide to build the road, then the Forest
Service will grant them a permit to-
do SO. This is necessary proceed

1t is to be hoped that this road
will be- built for it would be another
valuable addition to this already beau

w. A. Williamson of the Rookie Auto
matte Register Company of Provi-
dence. R. L., is in the city for several!
days demonstrating to the conductors
and patrons of the Keokuk Electric
Railway company the use of the new
registers which are now in use on the
Keokuk street cars.
This morning at the power house Of
the electric company at Fourteenth
and Main streets Mr.. Williamson gave
demonstration to the conductors and
other employees assembled there in
the use of the new instrument which
has but recently been introduced in
this company as one of the neatest
and best devices to be used on cleo
trio roads. Already many cities in
New England and the middle west
have taken up their use and in place
of putting the fare as formerly into the
conductors hand, it is now inserted in
the register and the fare is rung up
without any exertion on the part of
the man taking the fare
The cut below shows passenger in

When the conductor comes around
to collect a fare all that is necessary

is to hold out the five or ten cent piece
and the machine will receive and
register the fare The coin can be
held in any position and with the
register held up side down the fare
can be taken and registered the same
as If held perpendicular by the con-
ductor. After once inserting the coin
there is no getting it out again as it is
held fast and slips through the four
sided tube inside to the conductors
palm. The register is capable of hold
Ing twelve or thirteen five cent pieces.
When not in use the register can be
fastened by a single movement to a
belt which is fastened about the waist
or over the shoulder. The register
weighs about pound and two ounces
and is not too heavy or too light and is
simple in its action and use after the
conductor and passengers become us
ee to it. After fare has Been insert
ed another can not be put into the
register until the spring inside the
machine is released by the man talk
ing the fare. This is, the greatest point
ABOUT the contrivance and much
neralded by those who have used the
register.
