Due to the great increase of business on the Alaska cable sys. tenn especially between Seattle and Juneau, repeaters have been installed at Ketchikan, which makes it possible for Juneau to receive business direct from Se- attle and also Seward, to the westward, without being handled twice, through Ketchikan, which has relayed, until the present sys- tenn was started.
 This is also a great advantage over the old system in that less errors will be made and the new system is a tremendous time-sav- CT, something the Cable system is perfecting and also advancing greater efficiency to the public.
 The repeaters installed in the Ketchikan office can be handled so that in case Juneau has fast mes sages to get out, Seward or Seattle sending night letters to Juneau on a perforated tape which reaches Ketchikan, can be run into bas- ket, while Juneau s h t s her blacks to Seward. By throwing switch, Seattle business will again start coming to Juneau while at the same time Juneau will be sending direct to Seattle.
 Juneau is at present unable to send direct to Seattle or Seward as another set of repeaters must be installed at Ketchikan but Se- attle or Seward can send direct to Juneau. Sending direct to Seattle. or. Seward, from Juneau, will be accomplished within a short time. it is believed by Juneau Operator in-Charge, L. F. Harper, or at least before the heavy season opens.
 While Ketchikan is the main re- lay point, it is believed that Ju- neau's local business is as heavy or even heavier than Ketchikan on account of the number of gov ernment messages handled by the different departments located here.
 Radio sending and receiving sets are being installed by the Cable system at Haines, Skagway, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell and Craig. This it is believed, will take the place of cables and open circuit Morse lines now in use. These stations will transmit their busi. ness by radio to the three larger offices, Seattle, Ketchikan and Jul neau, while Seward will be doing her share with the Northern sta tions.
 Juneau at present is working and handling all business with Sit ka. It is not known what sta tion will handle Craig, Petersburg, | Wrangell. Skagway and HaiEes,

DUE WEST, 2. C., Jan. 1s.-This town. of about 300 population sit uated in the Piedmont section of South Carolina, has two boasts. It is the seat of one of the oldest colleges in the south and head quarters of a four mile railway, one of the shortest in the world.
 Not but once in it's 21 years of existence has a train been run over the railway on Sunday. One Sunday in 1915 a young womans life hung in the balance from an acute illness. It was necessary to rush her to a hospital in Char lotte, N c.
 The only way to do it was to take her over the Due West rail- road to Donalds, the railways ter minus and there make connections with another railway line. R. S.. Galloway, president of the rail- way was attending church when the urgent summons came and af- ter being assured that it was a case of dire necessity he gave per- mission for the train to run for it's first and last time on Sunday.
 It is not written in the charter of the railway that no trains are to be run on the Sabbath, MT. Gallo way explains, but it is in our minds and hearts"
 Our" refers to the people of Due West, the majority of whom are members of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian church.
 The entire equipment of this brief but official railroad consists of one flat car, one passenger coach, one combination passenger and freight coach and two engines.
