RESERVOIRS ARE BEGUN

Already has the work commenced
on the construction of the reservoirs
near the water works for the inn
pounding of enough water to tide the
city over the winter months in fear of
the freezing of the river The build
ing of the reservoirs was sanctioned
at the last meeting of the city council
by the city fathers, and Engineer An
ders and his corps OF assistants began
work forthwith.
The reservoirs will be large and
adequate enough to impound a supply
of water that will be sufficient to last
the city for at least two months, II not
longer. They will probably accommo-
date the storing of about O0,Oo0,O00
gallons of water.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Frazier Co.: Temporary
rallies in wheat such as occurred yes.
terday may result from time to time
but we do not believe that any sus-
tanned advance can take place until
the cash position changes. We con-
tinue our advice to stay on the short
side Of corn, believing that a materi-
ally lower range of values must event
ually prevail.
Logan g. Bryan: The decline in
wheat was long one and the short
interest is no doubt important. but we
believe what evening up there is In
the market will result in only tenn
porary recovery in prices and we then
look for return of selling pressure
and heavy market.
Shearson Hammill & Co.: The wheat
market shows a rather better action
and conditions here must be favorable
OF little upward tendency. The con-
tinuance of it, however, must depend
greatly upon the action of foreign
markets. A sustained advance hardly
seems probable unless foreign markets
respond.

FAKE SCHOOL MAPS, ETC.
Minnesota Educational Department
Sends Out . Warning.

The state department of Minnesota
has sent out a circular to county
superintendent and others, which is
warning of the alleged swindling
operations of certain agents who are
touring the state, selling maps and
other supplies which are said to be
practically worthless and sold at many
times more than they are worth. State
Superintendent Schulz in his circular
says that agents are selling maps to
the districts at three times their value
and are showing recommendations
from the state department of public
instruction which the department has
never given. A circular letter to
county superintendent was sent out
yesterday advising them OF the matter
and asking them to give publicity to
the matter SO that the districts may be
protected.

The strength in corn was a decided

Train Dispatching by Phone.

Reports from Hannibal, Mo, state with
out qualification that train dispatching by
telegraph on the Burlington system be-
tween Hannibal and st, Louis Is to be dis
pensed with this month and the telephone
substituted. Nearly all Of the telegraph
instruments on the Hannibal division and
also on the Mexico line, were silenced a
few nights ago, but some dispatching is
yet being done by telephone, owing to
the fact that the telephone line is not quite
complete,
About a year and a half ago the Bur-
lington built a line between Chicago and
Mendoza, H., on the Aurora division, and
began dispatching trains on that stretch
Of track by telephone. Soon the entire
Aurora division was equipped with tele-
phones, and later the Galeshurg division.
Only recently the telegraph Instruments
on the Brookfield division between Han
nibal and Brookfield and Brookfield and
quincy were removed and train Dispatch
ing on that division is now being carried
on with the aid of the telephone.
Several other divisions of the Burlington
system are equipped with telephones, but
not all. However, the officials expect to
eventually do away with the telegraph in
struments altogether, and probably by next
summer not a sound Of the telegraph In
strument can be heard over the great 90
system.

There is no longer any reason why even
the farmer of moderate means should not
enjoy all the home comforts Of his city
cousin. The day when bath tubs, lighting
plants, water systems for fire protection
and heating furnaces were to be found
only in the larger villages and in the cities
has gone forever. Today there are few
rural villages too small to boast Of all
these things and the farmer has caught
the spirit of the times and his up-to-date
farm house is lighted with electricity and
heated by steam, II Is supplied with fine
bath rooms and running water and other
modern conveniences.
A few years ago the electric light and
power plants installed on farms were very
few and far between. A few adventurous
farmers had dared to harness their noun
tain pasture streams and turn their water
energy Into electricity for use about the
house and barns; a few more had Installed
gasoline engines for the same purpose.
These early installations proved a success
from the first aud II was not long before
their worth had been talked and written
about until almost every well-to-do farmer
was considering the question Of a similar
installation.
Aside from the many beneflts.and econ
omies Of electricity for lightly, heating and
cooking in the farm house, II readily as
sumes most Of the hard work about the
farm which. I'm the past. has been a most
discouraging factor In securing farm labor.
Electricity easily does the milking, sep
arating and churnIng as well as turning

the washing machine and the wrlnger. In
the barn it is applied to feed cutters, corn
shelters, feed grluuers ana 20 an otler
small machinery, such as the grlndstone,
lathe and a small buzz saw for cutting fire
wood. The threshing machine and tanning
mill are very easily belted onto the port
able motor. In Germany and a few other
foreign countries electricity is also used
to advantage to pull the plows, harrows,
rakes, cultivators, binders, mowers and
other outdoor machinery.
In the house the farmers wife can have
her electric cooking devices and electric
flatiron as well as her city sister.
The number of electrical plants on farms
Is increasing with marked rapidity. A few
of these plants run by small water powers,
but the majority use small gasoline en-
gines and storage batteries. The time is
surely coming when the majority Of far
mers Will consider electricity a necessity
and no matter how far they are located
from electric power stations. or power
transmission lines, they will find means to
secure plenty of cheap electricity. Many
Of the electrical engineers of the General
Electric company predict that in a few
more years the electric power lines Will eX-
tend out from the cities and large towns
into the highways and byways Of the coun-
try where every farmer can tap the line
and purchase at a very reasonable figure
all the power he requires for his farm
work,

ters are comparatively few. The classic
Chinese has many thousand charactersi
and, in the simplest OF the school books,
several thousand are used, In the Chinese
now in use every character expresses a
word; the language is Geographic; that
is, it Is written in words, rather than let
tiers and syllables. a Chinese alphabet Is
now being formed and a new system or
writing -inaugurated.
At present all penmanship is with a
brush and India Ink, the brush being held
almost perpendicular. About 1000 years
ago the people had a penmanshlp based
upon curved lines, but this was difficult
to produce by the brush, and it wa prac-
tically abolished. Metal pens and fluid
inks will now be brought in, and the old
curves will come into use. This will prae-
tlcally kill the brush-pen and India ink
business, and a great Industry will 80 TO
the wall.
The new alphabet is to have, fifty let
ters. With 1t a different system of print"
ing and writing will come into being, and
the probability is hat the typewriter Will
be so adapted TO the new system that
it will come / nto use.

In the Casting Room.

At present every character employed
in the printing house has to have it's
own matrlX and be cast separately, and
the characters are so delicate that they
must be new in order to do good work.
In the composing room l visited, six diff
ferent sizes of type were employed, and
of these more than 5000 characters of
each style are kept on hand. This neces-
states the making of $1,000 different
characters, each of which must have Its
own matrix, or die, in the shape of q
brass type from a quarter to half inch
square and an inch long. This die Is
fitted into a casting box, and by turning
a crank the types are turned out at the
rate of twenty or thirty a minute. a
score or so of such machines were busy

tyring department, and their clicking

voted to storing electrotype plates, every
thing being c~atalogued and as systematic
