Dispatch Trains by Telephone

The equipment of the Spokane

Railway with telephone train dis
patching apparatus will complete a
total of 21O0 miles of line which
this road is now operating in this
manner,
The Spokane division extends
from Troy, Mont, to Leavenworth,
Wash, distance of 337 miles. On
account OF the length of this divis-
ION, and the amount of traffic pass
ing over it, two dispatchers are re-
CURED to handle the division. They
will have on their dispatching cir
cults forty-fve way stations equip
ped with standard Western Elec-

The standardization of this an
paratus for railroads of the country
has included testing device which
is installed throughout the Great
Northern system. This is a panel.
somewhat similar to the we'll known
telegraph peg board, but containing
telephone jacks and plugs. The
circuits looping through an office,
both telephone and telegraph, are
wired through these jacks, and by
the operation of two keys and using

Test Stump Explosives

Under the direction of H. W.
Sparks, superintendent of farm
demonstration for the state college
at Pullman, a big competition and
demonstration of methods for blow
ing out stumps in the state of
Washington will be held soon.
Mr.. Sparks left for Seattle Mon
day, and will be on the west side
until February 20. Soon after his
arrival in Seattle he will announce
the date for the contest, which will
take place on the east side of Lake
Washington and will be open to
any one in the state.
Under a recent arrangement the
Washington Logged-Off Land AS
ISOLATION, the State College, the
University of Washington and the
bureau of plant industry have
agreed upon a test of stump explo-
sives, and in pursuance Herewith
have issued a general invitation for
all interested persons to attend the
demonstration of explosives on
green fir stumps.
Each competitor has been re-
quested to furnish an operator or
demonstration competent to handle
their explosive to the best advan-
tage. and who will demonstrate its
use in the test.
Furnish a price list, per pound
of powder, in large and small GUAM
titles.
Furnish the explosive which will
be paid for at commercial rates ac-
cording to the method used unless
the same are contributed by the
conteStant).
Under the terms which have been
mentioned in the agreement the
competitors will be required to
blow out five Pinch stumps. five
lo-lnch stumps, five 24-inch
stumps, five 30-inch stumps. five

terchange circuits, to locate a break
or cross to the nearest station
fact, to make all the simple tests
ordinarily required on a circuit of
this character.
Their simplicity makes them es-
pecially valuable, as they may be
operated by the mostinexperienced
employees.
Another interesting feature of the
Great Northern installation is the
use of siding telephones on the Spo-
kane division. Seventy of these
are to be installed, Train crews
can thus talk Directly with the dis
patcher at all important sidings,
enabling him to give orders to pro-
coed and permitting him to take
advantage of all changes in sched-
ules, prevent congestion and keep
traffic moving, thus effecting econ
omies in motive power and reduc-
ing overtime expense.
When this equipment is cut into
service. the Great Northern will
have telephone train dispatching
system the entire distance from
Minneapolis to Seattle, with the
exception of two short sections.

Elizabeth Mae Schwartz, born De-
cember 28, 1888, in North Dakota,
died with diabetes, January 3, 1910,
at st. Vincent's hospital, Portland,
Oregon.
She came to Salem with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Page, seven
years ago She desired to be a
teacher and with that end in view
attended Salem high school, Krapp's
Normal and the State Normal, at
Monmouth, from which school she
was graduated with high honors in
the June '0S class.
October last she accepted a posi-
ton as teacher in the Marion public
school and ioyfully began her life
work, but her health, delicate for
some little time, failed, and she was
compelled to resign her school after
only two weeks of teaching.
She and her brother went to Port
land December 80 to spend a couple
of days and while there she was TAX

could do availed not, for in two days

She leaves to mourn her loss two
sisters and one brother: Mrs. Ed.
Rex, of independence, Oregon; Mrs.

North Dakota, and Albert Schwartz,
of Newport Oregon; also three half
sisters: Ella Lille and Mabel Ruge,
and stepfather, Charles Ruge, all of
West Salem, and her grandfather,
Mr.. August Hike, of Salem.
The Rev. Mr.. Bauer, of the First
Congregational church, of Salem, of
which she was member, conducted
the funeral services Thursday after
noon at 2 o'clock from the family
home in West Salem.
Interment in City View cemetery.
The floral offerings received from
her many friends were numerous
and very beautiful among them be-
ing a lovely wreath of pure white
hyacinths and lilies from her West
Salem friends, and arm boquets of
crimson and white carnations from
school friends residing in Portland.
We folded the hands so shapely
Over the snowy breast
And with hearts broken with sorrow
Laid her away to rest.
Away on the hillside distant,
Mid blossoms rich and rare;
A flower among the flowers,
Mayhap the fairest there.
o, God, our heavenly Father,
Who doeth all things right,
Come, and in infinite pity,
Comfort our hearts tonight.
