TEMPERANCE COMMITTEE
PREPARES FOR ELECTION

The Lynden Temperance Commit
tee met at the Baptist Church, Mon
day evening, and had a good busi-
ness meeting. Mr.. Long, chairman
of the registry committee reported
that ninety-six persons had register
ed after the first meeting of this
committee, and most of them had
been added through the special eff
fort of the committee. The chair
man of the publicity committee re-
ported satisfactory progress, and
spoke OF the very generous treat
ment that has been accorded his
committee by the business men of
Lynden.
A supply of posters was received
and turned over to the committee
having that work in charge. These
posters are being placed as conspic-
uously and advantageously as pos
sible.
Rev. BrOuwer, from the commit
tee of outside meetings, reported
that he had made arrangements for
securing speakers, and asked that
his committee be enlarged to in
clude an additional member for
each proposed meeting place, said
member to look especially after his
particular appointment. to confer
with the people of the place desir-
ing each meeting. and to act as a
direct intermediary between them
and the central committe, The COM
mittee was so enlarged by the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Geo. Worthen for
Delta, Robt Heaton for Wiser,
George Taylor for Ten Mile. Rev.
Ashby for Timon. Mrs. Van Patton
for North Prairie and Rev. Mrs.
Jennings for Northwood.
Requests had come from most of
these places for meetings, and ar
rangements can be made through
the above committee members.
The people from the country ap-
pointments will be expected to pro-
vide meeting places and the Lynden
committees speakers. The design is
to have five or six consecutive
meetings next week.
The committee concluded to hold
another meeting, and adjourned to
meet at the Baptist Church, Mon
day evening, October 26th.

What Does Il Mean?

Lynden registered over a hundred
voters more this year than the high
est previous record. Bellingham g
registry exceeds former highest
by over 1000 and Seattle by nearly
5000.
Reports indicate that the late re-
gistering were largely women, many
of whom registered for the first time
1t means an unprecedented interest.
Undoubtedly Initiative Bill No. 3, is
the cause of the commotiOn and will
bring out the biggest vote ever given
in this state 1t looks now as II the
right would win, but don't let a vote
get away. The bigger the majority
the better the law will prove.-W. E

how the liquor people talked when

People who have been residents here

RAILROAD RULES, 1852
INTERESTING REMINDER or
EARLY DAYS OF TRAVEL.
Instructions for Enslnssrs and Com
duetors Appear Laushahie In These
Days When ths science Of Raft
roadIno Has Been Perfected.

A most Interesting exhibit Of the
early days OF re!l-oading in this coun.
try has been found.
It 10 a schedule for passenger trains
and rules for the conduct Of engine
men and conductors on the Wetsern &
Atlantic, which was at the time and
still is owned by the state Of Georgia.
The time table IL dated March 1, 1852.
and was issued by William Wadley, gu.
perintendent, father Of George D. Wad.

ager Of the Central Railroad Of Geor-
gia-
In the rules for enginemen and con-
ductors are many which seem quaint
In this age Of colossal railroading. OF
course the road had only one track,
and rule IA for passenger conductors
shows that there must have been some
dispute when trains met as to which
train had the right to keep on it's way
uninterrupted. This rule says:
"As a general rule when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout win run back. Any dispute as
to which train % to retire Is to be de.
termined at once by the conductors,
without interference on the part of the
eng;nemen. This rule is required to
be varied In favor of the heaviest load.
ed engine. or worst grades II they
meet near the center"
Rule z gives the conductor direc-
lions for reporting on the number OF
passengers who are paying and the
number Of ministers Of the gospel who
were to be charged half price when on
business connected with their calling.
The same rule Indicated that the gov.
ernor Of the state and the general gu.
pe~rintendent Of the road were the
only individuals who had a right to
give passes.
The conductor was ordered to In.
spect the running gear of his train at
every station and, In rule 13, was ad.
monished never to leave Atlanta OF
Chattanooga without the mail or with
out first sending to the postofice for
It Rule II says that a train stopping
at any station at night must invariably
be run on the turnout 30 as to leave
b main track clear. and that strict
watch had to be kept in all cases
where a train stopped at night.
In the regulations for passenger en-.
ginemen there are a number which
seem almost humorous in this period
OF railroad management. For instance,
the engineman was instructed that II
his train killed any stock and threw
the cow or cows in such a position as
to endanger the safety Of the next
train he was to stop his train and see
that the track was cleared.
Passenger trains were not to exceed
the speed Of their schedule except
when behind time, In which case the
speed might be increased three miles
an hour generally. In passing turn.
outs (the turnout evidently was the
switching track the speed had to be
diminished to six miles an hour.-RaiL
