TICKET ISSUING MACHINES.
Long Island "Cash Registers" Max
ing Satisfactory Test.

The Long Island railroad has IN use
in Brooklyn, N. Y, a NUMBER OF ma
chimes for simultaneously pruning
and issuing tickets, and recording the
number and value of the tickets Is
sued. and they are working in very
satisfactory manner. The machines
look somewhat like the familiar casn
registers, seen in retail stores, and
were made by the National Cash Reg
lister company of Dayton, o.
Machinery is provided in the metal
lie case for printing tickets OF de-
nominations from cents to 80 cents
inclusive; they are for use only on
the local electric trains. The print
ing mechanism is synchronized with
the recording mechanism, which
shows the number and value of all
tickets issued. Four different men
can sell from the same machine, the
tickets themselves and the automatic
recording apparatus indicating by a
designating letter the identity of the
person making each sale. Each seller
may lock the machine so that none
of the others can disturb his tickets
or his records. A mechanical count
er shows the opening and closing
numbers of the tickets issued each
day The counting apparatus also
period; and the agent has no reports
to make, except a brief statement of
the totals. The machines are operat-
ed by an electric motor and are cap
able of printing 100 tickets minute.

Hutchinson RefOrmatory to
Raise Own Garden Supply.
VIII Irrigate and Use Scientific
Methods This Season.

Hutchinson, Kan, April Sits gar
den making time at the reformatory.
A big detail of inmates has been busy
this week preparing the ground and
planting seed in the institution truck
patches.
Each year the vegetable crop of the
reformatory has increased. The cellars
every fall with the products of the
reformatory truck garden, thus saving
the state much money in provisions.
The reformatory vegetables will be
raised under irrigation again this year,
and the irrigation work will be even
more extensive than in the past The
acreage of the garden is to be greater.
A comprehensive survey has been
taken of the tract which will be used
for garden and the high points and
the slope of the land has been ascer-
tanned.
A new syst n will be used. The
tractor engine and centrifugal pump
used last year will be in service
again, but there will be large central
water plant or irrigation well pipe lines
and will be run to different points in
the garden.
we profited a great deal by our
experience with irrigation last year,
and I think We will have even great
er success in raising vegetables on
land under the ditch this year." said
Superintendent M. F. Amrine.
Last year the ~eformatory raised
enough potatoes to supply the institu-
ton and filled the model sweet potato
cellar of the store house full.

farm in Ford county had been divided

he was supposedly dead Otto Reich
will today return to his job as farm
hand on the Swarens ranch, north of

Attorneys advise him that he might

that the administration of his estate
was invalid since he was not dead.
But Reich shrugged his shoulders. Il
guess I'd better be getting back to
work." he told a Hutchinson man. Il

working as hired hand for $50
month and board little suspected that

hand owned valuable wheat farm

NEW SPEED WAR TO CHICAGO.
Salt Lake and Southern Pacific Cut
Time to Pacific Coast.


Los Angeles, April 5.-A speed war
of no mean proportions is promised
by the Salt Lakes announced inten-
ton of cutting an hour and ten min
utes from the present schedule be-
tween this city and Chicago and the
Southern Pacific announcement that
the time between San Francisco and
Chicago will be cut from seventy-two
to sixty-seven hours. Both cuts will
be effective April 5, when s2,500,000
worth of the latest all-steel equipment
will begin to shuttle back and forth
between this state and the east, I'M
der time cards now making.
Merely a concession to the travel
ing public's desire to get there in a.
hurry" said General Passenger Agent
Peck of the Salt Lake in speaking of
the cut in time. Practically the same
statement was voiced by District Pas
senger Agent McGinnis of the South
ern Pacific. Disinterested railroad
officials, however, are of the opinion
that the cut in time is an open def
to other roads to furnish faster SER
vice.
Compared with the present west
bound schedules, the cut in time west
bound is not remarkable. Westbound
schedules are always somewhat fast
er than those of the east, though the
reason for the difference appears to
be something of a mystery.

SNOW PLow IDLE THIS WINTER.
Santa Fe Not Able to Try Out New
Labor Saving Equipment.

Dodge City, Kan, April 5.-Railroaf
men on the western division of the
Santa Fe are plainly disappointed that
western Kansas has not been visited
during the past winter with the type
of snowstorms received the winter be-
fore. The reason for their disappoint-
ment is that they wanted to try out
the new $4,000 snowplow, which has
laid idle in the shops here since fall.
1t weighs $4,000 pounds and is touted
as the best type of snow plunger in ex-
istence. The Santa Fe spent S102, 600
fighting snow on this division two win
tiers ago. 1t then built miles of sheds
and purchased the big plow. The rail-
road men have been aching all winter
for a chance to convince the officials
that the new equipment will save
money in snow fighting
