SAFETY SIGNAL INVENTOR.
100000 Fortune IN INTERLockED SIGNALS.

-
Mr.. John Saxby, the inventor of the sys-
TEN by which signals and points are con
trolled by one operation, died on Wednes-
DAY at Hassocks, near Haywards Heath,
Sussex, at the age of ninety-one.
OF humble parentage, Mr.. Saxby proved
to be q born mechanic. Before the adop-
ton of bis invention, the most frequent
cause of railway accidents was the changing
of points while a train was passing over
them. An accident in 1856 set Mr.. Saxbv
thinking, and a year later he patented his
invention. Works We're started at Hav-
wards Heath and later at Kilb~rn, and Mr.
SuXby found employment for 1900 ban Is.
King Edward, when Prince of Wales, said
to Linn, when the system was being ex-
planned, '~You nave done more than any
man living IN the reign of Queen Victoru4
to save hpman life Mir Saxby claimed to
have made over 100000 by bis iuveMtionv
and his recipe for long life was moderation
in all things.-Dully JEait, -4prJ 2Gh.

A few were brought to the island many
years ago and have bed so prolifcnlly in
their congenial surroundings that of late
years it has been found necessary to shoot
several of them on oceount of depretatious

THE LEGEND OF THE MIsTLErOE

Why is mistletoe always suspended
in our homes? The reason is traced
back to an old myth of the Morse
men. The mother of Beldur, the god
of all good things exacted a prom
ise from the vegetable, animal aud
mineral kingdoms to preserve his
life from al harm. From some cause
however, she did not make an appeal
to the mistletoe. The god OF mis-
chief and potentate Of the earth.
Loki, became jealous of Beldur's
great popularity and, fashioning an
arrow from a strong branch of mis-
hetoe, gave it to old blind Modurfi
showed him to aim it, and in this
way Beldur met death, ~
SHowever, he was restored to lifs,
nut the mistletoe, placed under the
care Of Frisa. was never again to be
an instrument of levii till It touched
the earth. the empire Of Loki. This
Is why the papasite is, in our homes
and churches, always suspended from
ceiling and chandelier or in the VIII
dows. When persons Of opposite sex
pass under it they give each other
the kiss OF peace and love in the full
assurance that the epiphyte is no
longer an instrumbnt of mischief.

RAILROAD FROM BLACKFOOT
TO McOOLLUM and LITTLE LOST
left Over Last Week.


The need for a railroad to- Little
Lost river becomes more pressing
leach season and this year the volume
or freight hauled both ways Is such
that it becomes very serious, matter.
The road is already surveyed and
cross sectioned from Cerro Grande to
McCollum, and building that stretch
would simply be grading enough to
lay the ties on and making a small
bridge over the dry bed Of Lost river.
1t is about 20 miles to McCollum, and
road built that far would tap the
commerce in all directions, but would
save much hauling If it were extend
ed on into the valley of Little Lost.
It Is about so miles to the head of the
valley, and perfectly smooth and easy
grades all the way. Then comes Pah-
simeroi valley which Is of the same
character, and that brings the road
into the rougher country approach
ing the rich Yellow Jacket country
where tremendous tonnage would be
afforded.
There are a number of producing
mines in tho mountains on the east
side of the valley of Little Lost, and
forty six-horso teams and two auto
trucks are kept busy hauling ore out
to- Arco from the Daisy Black alone.
There is much low grade ore ready
to be hauled by rail that is not rich
enough to stand the team haul to
Arco and the railroad tariff too.
Much of the produce of the valley
is hauled to Powell and loaded from
there, but the greater part of it lies
still and never gets to market be-
cause Of the long team haul. Heavy
stuff like wheat and potatoes are
traded and trafficked around in ev-
cry way to keep from hauling it to
the.railFead. Some of the wheat is
feasto hogs and the hogs shipped out
because they are easier to haul than
the wheat they live on. IN,
The road will lead through the
Powell tract of $4,000 acres, and the
prospects are that this will be settled
up in the near future, and it would
be a great blessing To, the settlers IL
they could have their freight brought
to them inst cad OF having the long
team haul. rss,'

Of votes than any other candidate,
should they be denied the nomination,
and their names kept off the ballot on

GOT IN BY MISTAKE.

The friends Of Colonel Roosevelt
complain that the newspapers of New
York did not treat him quite fairly in
their report Of his speech on the eve
Of his departure for South America.
They quoted him as attacking Presi-
dent Wilson and President Taft for
their "weak" policy in regard to
Mexico, and boasting how much more
strenuously he would have dealt with
Mexico had he been President; and he
is also reported as enlarging upon
what ought TO be done with other
Latin American countries, in place Of
treating them in the milk and water
way that the present administration is
doing.
No great sensation was created by
these declarations, because talk of that
sort was expected from Colonel Roose
Welt in case he referred in any way to
the Mexican complications as dealt
with by the present administration. OF
course every one has known that his

copy checked up with the speech. How
ever, this was not done in this case,
and this portion Of the advance copy
furnished for publication, but not de-
livered, was printed as what he said.
But the Colonel has no particular
reason to find fault that we can see, as
If he wanted to leave out this part of
tho speech he should have Informed the
newspapers Of that intent. STILL il was
thing of this kind simply because it
was in the advance copy 1t will be
remembered that something Of the same
kind happened in Salt Lake City few
years ago, where Il speaker furnished
to the newspapers OF this place
would be in the Salt Lake thcatcr that
night; but when it came to the speak
ing he delivered m address altogether
different; but the papers naturally
printed the speech that had been fur
nished as the one which the orator
would deliver, The reporters had not
paid much attention to the advance
copy, and so had no means of compar-
ing the actual delivery with the adj
vance copy Of it as furnished for pub
licatioD. There was no reason, there
fore, for the orator to find any fault
with the newspapers that printed his
speech from the copy which he fur
nished. 1t was the newspapers that
had the right to complain of the orator
furnishing copy Of speech that he
did not deliver, in place Of the one
which he did utter.
We cite this to show that accidents
will happen at times, with the best of
intentions all around. And since Colo,

things that were included in the ad-

COUNTRY BANKERS OBJECT.

President Wilson appears to recog-
nize the fact that he is cup against
it' in his programme of coercing the
Senate into speedy action on his per
sonally- approved and also person
ally-conducted currency bill The
Senate is determined to give fair
hearing to the interests involved, and
the Senators, as Senator o 'Gorman of
New York said, are unanimously op-
posed to the bill in it's present form +;
not one Senator IS iudment approves it.
Besides, the Senate Finance Commit
tee is engaged in practical and very
earnest study over this bill, and is not
in the least disposed to shut off the
food of information which it needs
and is getting from those who are ex-
pert, who are in interest. and who
know what they are talking about
Therefore, it would not be at all sur
prising if the Senate should be unable
to come to a vote On this currency
bill prior to the opening of the regular
session of Congress, the first Monday
in December.
The National Bankers in Boston
put forward certain criticisms of the
bill which the Senators angrily protest
ed against, but were not able to meet,
No answer is possible from the mex
perienced, uninformed, and impractical
Senators who made their hot partisan
objections to the criticisms made by
the bankers, Nor is there any real
answer possible to the criticisms thus
made by the bankers in the adoption
of the report Of their committee, and
of the formulated criticisms made by
the preliminary meeting in Chicago.
And now the country bankers are
being heard by the Senate Finance
Committee. They have been repre-.
sented as favoring this currency bill.
1t appears, however, that they are not
in favor Of it at all. They object to
the withdrawal of circulation which
the bill will impose upon them I'm.
der it they will not be allowed to cir.
culate their own notes, and the trans
action Of furnishing securities for
ICdouiS uOtco 10 pTdCLlCdIJY certain TO
be more costly than the present basis
of currency circulation Then, again
they object to the idea of contributing
capital and deposits to the Federal re.
serve banks, thus releasing control of
their own money and furnishing funds
for the upbuilding Of reserve banks
which cannot possibly be Of any cor,
responding benefit to them. They OBJ.
ject also to the reserve propositions
to the re-discounting restrictions, and
the provision against the charge for
collection Of checks.
So that the very National bankers
who were depended upon to support
this bill, those men who run what are
known as "the country banks are
out in strenuous objections to it, stat
ing their own points of objection to
the measure, which are found to be
quite as radical and quite as strong
as the objections made by the bankers
of the cities. Under these circum-
stances it is quite unreasonable for
