ELECTRIC DEVICE FOR PRE-
VENTION OF TRAIN WRECKS,

An electrician invention by A. R.
Angus of Sydney, N. S. Nv, to prevent
railway accidents by means of cleo
| trio automatic signaling in the cab
of the locomotive and the automatic
stopping of the train, was demon
strated this week. Tes IS were made
with two locomotives on a disused
section of the Great Wsetern rail-
road.
An arm from the engine travels on
an electric wire beside the track.
When the train enters a block in
which there is another train a whistle
blows in the cab. hmm ediately after
ward, if the engineer has not stop
ped the train, the electrical apparatus
imn nediately cuts off the steam and
sets the brakes.
The locomotives started from
points two miles apart at full speed
toward each other. The engineers,
after starting the mechanism, got
out. When the locomotives entered
the same block the warning whistles
blew. the electric mechanism worked
and the engines stopped within one
hundred yards of each other.

JOHNSON AND FLYNN,

There really wasn't much to the
glove contest between johnson and
Flynn, but nobody supposed that
there would be.
The pale people were in hopes
of course, that the championship
might be returned to them, but
their hopes were much like those
of the old lady who prayed the
lord to remove a hill which stood
in front of her house Upon getting
up next morning she exclaimed:
There it is, just as l expected. The
tarnation hill is still there,''
Jack Johnson has been credited as
being rarely fine specimen of ply
sical strength and agility. Only a
few, however, realize the extent of
merit he possesses along these two
lines. With the care he takes of
himself, it might be long before he
could be forced to yield. He an
nounces, however, that he will re
tire not later than labor day.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

| Money will gradually become more
plentiful in the country as farm
products get to moving actively So
far it has been all expense with the
grower. But within the next sixty
days the potato and peach crors will
be mostly disr osed of and should
bring at least million dollars into
the county. Up to date about all
the money that has come in has
been for a little garden stuff, ber-
ries, some alfalfa hay, etc. OF the
latter there is considerable now
ready for the market.
Word comes from Grand Junction
that the d. G. r. G. railroad people
have signifiod their intention to
cooperate in all ways possible in
the effort to help bring in laborers
The railroad people should not over
look one other thing, which is to
supply the needed number of cars
when wanted, to ship the fruit in.
as well as is that of getting in
sufficient help to harvest the crop.
The past few years have witnessed
many improvements in school build
ings in Delta county and the good
work is still going on. The fine
Lincoln school building in Delta
has been erected at cost of more
than $4,000. A handsome school
building has been erected at Cedar
edge and good brick buildings have
gone up in the Read and Mound
districts. Hotchkiss has a handsome
new high school building and others
are planned or are in prorgess of
erection. The rural districts of the
county are practically all supplied
with extra good school houses.
The fight at Las Vegas, N. M,
on the Fourth, was not the only at
traction of that nature, for there
was at least one event in this city.
The chief bout here. however, is
said to have been entirely devoid of
rules, regulations, honor, courage or
quality. 1t was a case of four big,
husky young fellows against light
weight who was old enough to be
father of any member OF the quar-
tet, and beating him shamefully. The
young men were made to appear in
Justice FAIRBANKS court Friday
morning and assessed a fine of Sc
and costs, the sum total amounting
to 1926 each.

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS
DIVIDED IN CONFERENCE

At a conference of the leading
Progressive Republicans of the
state held at Colorado Springs on
Tuesday afternoon and evening of
last week, a division resulted when
one wing of the progressives, head
ed by Philip B. Stewart, announced
that they intended to go into the
Republican caucuses, primaries and
county conventions and try and cap
ture the Republican assembly to be
held in Denver, July 81, and nom
mate candidates for presidential ell
ectors whom they know will vote
for Roosevelt if Roosevelt runs. The
other wing, headed by E. P. Costi-
gan, announced that they intend
ed to call a state convention of
the Progressive party, which was in
corporated last week, and elect del
egates to the Roosevelt convention
at Chicago and also elect Roosevelt
electors to be placed on the nation
al ticket this fall.
The question arises whether the
Stewart crowd can name Roosevelt
electors on the Republican ticket
when Mr.. Taft is the nominee of
that party for president. This same
question will, no doubt, be present
ed in many states and will have to
be settled through the courts. That
is, if the Roosevelt people are suf-
ficiently strong to name their cleo
tors at the head of the Republican
ticket in any state.

MEN WILL TRAIN
ABOARD STEAMER
AMERICAN OLYMPIC TEAM WILL
SAIL TOMORROW ON LINER
FINLAND.

New York, June 13.-The American
athletes VINO sail for Stockholm tomor-
row will travel and live in far greater
comfort and have better opportunities
for practice than any of the other four
teams which the United States has
sent across the sea for the Olympic
games. By chartering large ocean
liner for the exclusive use of the ath-
letes and their followers. the American
committee has overcome many of the
hardships which have beset the other
journeys and undoubtedly handicapped
the athletes, although The records os
victories necess'tate no apologies.
Once the athletes have set foot on
the steamer Finland at New York to-
morrow, they will make the big ship
their only home until their return
early in August. They will be away
nearly seven weeks. perhaps longer,
but during all that time it Win prob
ably not be necessary for them to un-
dergo a single change i'm diet. At
Stockholm they will evadc the general
scramble for hotel accommodations by
keeping their quarters aboard ship.
1t is doubtful il the Atlantic ocean
has ever witnessed such an athletic
carnival as will take place en- route
with three score and more sprinters
and runners. hurdlers ana jumpers and
weight men at practice Trainer Muir
ply will limit the work to a minimum
for training purposes. but even without
extra effort IL is certain that with so
many crack athletes mid-Atlantic rec
Ords Will all be set anew.
The Finland is a much larger craft
than those used in previous olympic
trips Her main deck Is large enough
for a track of eigh, laps TO the mile
and there is plenty OF room for jump
ing pits and places for the shot-putters
and weight mon to work. The boat
has a fine gymnasium and large
swimming tank.
1t is said that the athletes will not
be permitted on deck, but the steam.
ship officials have helped by laying
Ive-foot rubber mat around the fur
long circuit OF the boat. which will
tend to avert the dagger OF the rum
ners falling. Zig wooden boxes filled
with dirt have been placed on board
ship as pits for the jumpers and pole
and weight men.
