Mp. to Install New Block System

Ten carloads of poles are now In
the Standpoint yards OF the Northern
Pacific for use by the Western Union
between this city and Rathdrum
along the line of the Northern Pacific
saws the Pend Oreille Review All
the old poles are to be taken out ana
new poles and crossarms substituted.
The construction gang which Is To
handle this work left St. Paul last
Thursday to commence work. Auto
matte block signals are to be installed
and will be operated in connection
with the present manual blocks. are
expected to make the line absolutely
safe against all chance OF mlshap
through train collisions. These
signals are not installed at regular
intervals along the track but at
places where curves obscure a view of
the track ahead they are located
closer together, while on straight
stretches of track they are put furth-
er apart.
The modern block system resembles
nothing so much as a succession Of
locks in canal. Once train enters
block, whether il be two miles long
or ten miles, that stretch of track is
at once automatically closed against
| the entrance of any other train
through the operation Of the auto
matte signal at either end. The
engine completes an electrical circuit,
which drops the red danger signal at
both ends of the block. When the
last car has passed into the next
block, the circuit Is broken, the
signals fly back and the way is clear
for the next train.
So delicate is the operation of this
system that throwing bar Of steel
across the track throws the signals as
effectually as any train. 1t will be
necessary to have all the handcars
and velocipedes on this division
| specially insulated SO that they will
not embarrass the running Of train

The suggestions Of Captain
+. G. Davis looking to a reform
of Idaho's legislative procedure
is worthy of the careful perusal
OF every voter and especially OF
every candidate for state sena-
tor and state representative.
The farcical manner in which
laws are enacted in this state,
the political trading that is
done, the log-rolling, the need
less expense, are causing Idaho's
law-making bodies to be looked
upon with distrust more and
more as each succeeding bien-
NAL session comes and goes.
Reforms are needed. and they
should start in the legislature.

ment."
In order TO accomplish the needed
legislative reforms it will te necessary
to eliminate log.rolling processes az
far as possible. and try to bring about
condition OF affairs under which
each measure will be considered solely
on its own merits and without refer
ence to any other measure which may
come before them. This is, o! course
the ideal condition for the making OF
laws. Itlcannot be attained under
present conditions but it might be
we'll to suggest few ideas which, II
followed, would help to bring II
about.
In the flTst place a great change IL
necessary Ia the appointment Of
committees. The number of com.
mittees, particularly In the house, is
entirely too great and should be
reduced by about half. The selection
Of members Of committees Is most
important and should follow an en-.
tirely new line. Legislative bodies
are forced to rely almost wholly on
committee reports and recon .nenda-
tions, and care should he taken to
see that these are unbiased. To take
an illustration which can be readily
understood: The committee on county
lines and boundaries has usually been
made up wholly Of those who were
either earnestly advocating or oppos.
Ing certain county division plans, and
tals has resulted In lOg rolling ia de.
vermlning committee reports, some.
thing which should never happen no
matter how much 1t may be found 10
the work OF getting a bill through
either house or the ground In which
It's occurrence there may be excused.
Instead, therefore, Of filling this
committee with members who have
particular reports they desire the
comraittee TO make, 1t should be
composed entirely OF members who
are not personally interested In the
success or failure OF any particular
scheme for county division. hut who
are intelligent enough TO hear the
evidence aud make fair and impair
tial report on aty proposed plan.
the committee on roads and
bridge should not include tho se who
seek appropriations for road or bridge
purposes In their own counties; the
on educational institutions
should De composed OF men who are
fully competent to pass on all ques
II ons affecting these institutions, hut
{ representatives from counties where
these particular institutions are
located should not, as a rule, be In :
cluded; and, finally, the committee
on revenue and taxation should be
composed Of competent men but
should not include those who are
supposed to represent or who are
known to favor certain special inter-
es:s. Furthermore to secure effective
work no member should be assigntd
to duty on more than one important
the empty honor OF men,
bership on several committees might
we'll he dispensed with.
But aside from the work OF COM
mittees, which 10 large way is the
real work OF the legislature, individ.
ual members should take a firm
stand against securing legislation by
trades and combinations. This prac-
tice is clearly immoral and against
public policy and sentiment should
be created against 1t. It has often
been responsible for the success Of
bad aud the defeat Of good legislation
and should be no longer tolerated.

WERE MAYAS BABYLONIANS?

The towers and pyramids built by
the Mayas, the ancient civilized in
habitants of Mexico, who flourished
before the Aztecs, are the greatest
wonders of antiquity in America.
An interesting theory, now strong
ly held by scientists and scholars of
the Smithsonian Institution. is that
the Mayas are descended from the an
Cient people of Babylon who were dis
persed over the face of the earth aft
er the capture Of that famous city by
Cyrus.
If this be so, then the ancient Mayas
built the tower of Babel of the Bible,
and those inhabitants of the earth
were in a sense Americans. This view
Is confirmed in a great degree by the
extraordinary resemblance between
the ruined towers and pyramids of
Babylonia and those built by the
Mayas in Yucatan. In addition to this
there is other evidence that the Mayas
came from somewhere in Asia.
The tower of Babel was the largest
one Of many a similar structure of
pyramidal shape in Babylon which
were crowned with temples. But

Btructed scores of such terraced tow
