Big Block Signal System of the Mo
Pacific-IrOn Mountain.
One of the most extensive
block signal systems ever adopt
ed by a railroad is now being in
stalled by the Missouri Pacific.
Iron Mountain. When complet-
ed it will cover all the main lines
and principal branch lines of this
big railroad system. Already
considerably over 1000 miles of
block signals have been con-
structed by the company and are
in operation protecting trains.
When the plans contemplated
have been completed this rail-
road will have, in round figures,
the enormous amount of 5000
miles of block signals in opera
ton.
The block signal system has
been completed and in operation
for some weeks over the entire
main line of the Iron Mountain
from st. Louis to Texarkana,
Ark, a distance of 400 miles,
and also over the main line of the
Missouri Pacific from st. Louis to
Osawatomie, Kan, 60 miles be-
yond Kansas City. Work on it
is being rapidly pushed from
Osawatomie to Pueblo, Colo, the
western terminus of the Missouri
Pacific main line, and within the
next month or two will be COM
pleted, thus placing both the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun
tain main through lines under
block signal over their entire
length.
The distance from St. Louis to
Pueblo is more than 900 miles.
This will make one of the longest
straight stretches of track on the
continent under block signals.
The total distance from Texark-
ana to st. Louis and thence to
Pueblo is 1,400 miles, nearly all
of which is already under block.
The block system has been COM
pleted and is in operation bet
ween St. Louis and Omaha, by
way of Kansas City 481 miles.
From Osawatomie block signals
are being extended by way of
Coffeyville, Kan, and Fort
Smith, Ark, to Little Rock Ark,
and it is contemplated to further
install the blocks from Little
Rock, by way Of McGehee, Ark,
to Alexandria, La, a distance of
759 miles from Osawatomie.
This, when all completed, will
give a straight block signal sys-
tenn from Omaha, Neb., to Alex
andria, La, by way of Osawato-
mie of ,017 miles, which is even
greater than the distance from
st. Louis to Pueblo.
1t is next to impossible for a /
to occur where these
block signals are in use, it is said.
These signals are normally set at
danger, SO that no train can
enter block, or space between
one signal and the next signal
beyond, until the block is released
for it to proceed. This not only
protects the train from running
into another in front of it, but
also protects it from the rear.
As an additional r,recaution
and convenience telephones ell
closed in booths are to be placed

years to the extent that anothe

House of Congress has becom
necessary from this State, &C
cording to the apportionmen
made by that body. At present
there are but seven Congressmel
from the State, and to make room
for the new member, it will de
volve upon the next Legislature
which convenes in May, to re
district the State and form a new
Congressional district, the eighth
While the forming of this new
district would appear an easy
matter to the most of us, it is in

cradle thought and discussion to
satisfactorily district the State
to form the different, districts SO
that the interests of the parishes
that form each will be as nearly
identical as possible, and so that
the population will be practically
equal. 1t is no small job, and
the Legislature in dealing with
the problem should be swayed
only by those interests which will
serve best each district.
So far, the matter has received
very little attention, and only one
or two plans have been submitted
as a basis on which the Legisla-
ture might begin work when it
takes the subject up. One of
these plans is submitted by the
Shreveport Journal which is as

DISAGREE OVER B6ILDlNG
Joint Plans of County and City ir
 Danger of Disruption.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Fort Smith.-This city does not know whether it will build two court. houses or one or none at all, owing to the attempt On the part of the city council to dictate who shall and who shall not serve on the county half of the joint commission. The architects plans were accepted first by the county court, the building commis sion, and then by the city board of public affairs after they were submit ted to the city council for approval That body undertook to compel the county judge to name two commis- sioners at the behest of the council which he declined to do, and the council has refused to take any action whatever on the proposed building.
 Now County Judge Harp declares the council will either act at once or there will be no courthouse built by the city and county jointly, and he has secured an option on a block of lant centrally located, and proposes to build a county courthouse without re- gard to what the city may do.

 Rogers.-This county is becoming famous as a strawberry market. The Frisco and Kansas City and Memphis railroad has handled S2 cars so far. These berries all went to the Nortb- ern markets, St. Louis, St. Paul, Des Moines, Burlington Chicago and Den yer, they are the finest berries ever put on the market from here, bringing prices ranging from $1.75 to $2.50 per crate.
 The horticulturists of Benton ccInty say that this county will produce the largest apple crop ever known in it's history, and that from present indi- cations this crop will produce for the farmers of Benton county over $5,- 000,000.
 There are a great many Northern farmers who are coming to Benton county from Minnesota and the Da- kotas. They are seeking a milder eli, mate, and say the climate of Arkansas is ideal.

INSPECTION EXPLAINED
Some People Object to Eating Meat
 Where Part Was Condemned.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Chief Meat and Food Inspector c. M. Campbell has received many complaints from people who say they do not see how parts of animals may be condemned for tuberculosis and other diseases without the whole animal being affected. Tn reply to these, MT. Campbell asserts that the department inspection IS carried on under the same rules as those of the United States government. This ex- planation is given by Dr. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, in a report, part of which is as follows:
 "The idea of eating meat out of slightly diseased animal may be re- pulsive to some, but little considera- tion should readily convince reason able person that there is no valid reason for condemnfng and wasting perfectly wholesome meat simply be- cause there happens to be somewhere in the animal gland or an organ showing a lesion, or perasitic nodule or some slight local condition which
 
 the remainder of the carcass. The argument that all the meat of an ami nal affected to even the slightest de- gree with any disease should be totally and utterly condemned, if carried to the extreme with and to it's logical end, would result in the condemnation of practically every animal slaughtered and the abolition of meat as food.
 "The commission could easily un- dertake to show that not any single animal used for food in any part of the world would, upon microscopic study, be shown to be absolutely free from all infection or lesion if said animal were presented to it for examination.
 Objections to it usually come from those who have not made study of comparative pathology, and who are not qualified to pass upon the ques- tions involved, and sometimes they come from those who oppose the use of meat at all as food and who wish to discredit it in every possible way"
