DEVICE TO PREVENT
ANNOYANCE TO FARES

The person who has experienced
his destination on street cars finds
hope for the remedy of the annoy
ance in a SIMPLE automatic street in
dicator which has recently been pat
ented by j. A. Morrison OF Spokane
and Is being promoted by the Mon
arch Security company of that city.
W. d. Price, president of the com
pany accompanied by W NJ. Hill,
is in Pullman this week with a com
plete working model of the machine,
which may be seen by interested per-
sons at the Russell House. The de-
vice automatically denotes the street
which the car. is approaching by
means OF a paper roll, similar to that
used in a player piano, which is OPP
Grated by a small motor The motor
set along the trolly wires at each
block On the roll are printed the
names OF the streets and the pas
senger is enabled to keep in constant
touch with the location of the car
on which he is riding by watching
the annunciator The machine is
very simple, with but nine working
parts, and. according to experts who
have examined it, holds remarkable
possibilities.
The company will sell 1000 shares
Of stock TO secure funds to fully
equip one street car line. after which
the machine is expected to take care
