roads, good congregation assembled
at the Basin school house, just west
of Thomas store, Sunday evening,
Feb. 1S, to hear a sermon by Pastor
Yaggy.
The call of the bell to divine ser
vice brought up pleasant recollec-
tions to many who have left dear
church homes back in the states.
The singing was hearty and enthus-
iastic, the result Of the weekly prac-
tice. There will be preaching again
by Pastor Yaggy at the same place

The letter is as follows:
New York, Feb. "a, 1912.-Gen-

interests of the people as whole.

SUGGESTS FARM NAMES

A lady who has been hunting up
names for homes, gives us the name
of "Rovers Rest" and suggests its
fitness for ranch where the weary
or unhappy can find comfort, or rest
from long trips.
Another one is "Libecho", pro-
nounced with the long sounds Of !,
Q and o, with accent on the second
syllable. 1t is taken from the Italian
word 'Libeccio," signifying "the
southwest wind" This name ought
to fit any place In the valley.

WAS NEAR THE TITANIC.

1t was one Of the most pathetlc
facts in connection with the loss of
the Titanic that there was help at
hand sufficient to have saved every
sou, on board if it had been brought
into play. The tragedy of that fatal
April night has seemed more acute
ever since it was definitely established
thai the Californian was but ii snort
distance away, and that her captain,
with due diligence. might have gone
to the rescue.
This feeling of regret for what
"rnight have been" is still further m
tensited by the disclosure that stu
another vessel was undoubtedly
within fourteen miles of the stricken
vessel when 1t made its final plunge
with 1900 souls on board. n De
CANA, an English tramp steamer. mas
lust returned to American ports AFTER
"A cruise to the west coast Of AFRICA.
1t is given out that this ship was
within easy reach of the Titanic whom
thu .ccident occurred. but. unlike the
officers of the Californian. the captain
and crew OF the ramp had no tntina-
ton of what was taking place so near
them. 1t WAS not until they had
reached the African port. many weeks
later. that they heard of tho accident.
and not until now has IT been known
tina; this particular vessel was in a
position on that fatal evening TO rem
der cffcctual aid if her officers had
but known.
Their failure to learn of the wreck
was due to the fact that the Degama
carried no wireless instruments.
II is. of course. useless now to in
dulge regrets for this fatal omission
in the equipment of the Dcsama
which otherwise might have rendered
a service Of infinite value. but it at
least furnishes abundant confirmation
of the wisdom Of requiring all sea-
going vessels of the sam" type to car
ry wireless instruments hereafter.

NEW M.ArL UNIOADER.
Can Dump Ton of Sacks on Platforl
in TyyO Seconds


Minneapolis. Aug. 26.-Railway
clerks. who live in Minneapolis. say
that If a new device Is adopted by
railroads. It will be possible to dis
pose of a thousand pounds of mail
In little over a seconds time. The
device is for the purpose of exchang-
ing mail between a train running at
out stopping the train.
The a equipment consists Of a re-
ceiving arm or chute, according to
p%ostof1ce officials who have been
studying explanatory literature devot-
cd to the mechanics of the new ar
rangement. The chute is attached to
the side of the car door. folded when
not in use. so that 1t extends only
about W inches from the side Of
the car.
Running on rollers in a false floor
delivery truck capable OF handling
more than 1000 pounds of mail mat
ter and arranged to dump its con-
upon a special platform at an
appointed spot along the track.
Located at the side of the track,
some distance from the receiving plat
form is a trip which comes in contact
as the train passes and rings a gong
to notify the clerk that a delivery is
to be made.
II he wishes to skip that station he
touches a lever and the delivery is
avoided. Otherwise. IL he has not al
ready done so. he places on the truck
the bags to be delivered. A worm
gear attached to the middle Of one
OF the axles Of the mail car runs a
driving shaft provided with a clutch
which throws the mechanism into
gear when tripped. The mechanism
makes one revolution and then auto
matically throws itself out of
The first quarter Of the revolution
opens the car door; the second quar-
ter pushes out the delivery truck I'M
til it dumps the mail and opens the
receiving tube: the third quarter pulls
the delivery truck back into the car
and holds the receiving chute in posi-
ton while the station cranes are
passed and the mail upon them ia
conducted into the car: the fourth
quarter folds the receiving chute and
closes the door.
