ITHEN you think of a telegraphic
" dispatch, you think instinctive
ly of a little instrument about the
size of a cigar box, with one side
left open, clicking its message In
the slow Morse code to the edu
cated ear of a human operator.
When you think of an answer to
a telegram you think of this same
operator pounding it out on a key
with the trained second finger of
his right hand.
You think thus because of habit.
vrU would find it Interesting to
pay a visit to the telegraph
room of this newspaper.
You will find there two machines
about the size fef a small electric
stove. To the accompaniment of
v. birring motors, these machines
type messages on an endless roll of
paper at about the speed of a good
btenographer.
They are operated from the Send
ing end by a perforated paper tape
which Is fed into the sending ma
chine. A N EVEN more astonishing nia
chine will be in use in news
paper establishments before long.
It will connect these automatic
telegraph machines with the lino
type machines on which the type is
set, so.thut the operalor sending,
perhaps, from New York, will actu
ally set the type In the composing
room of the News-Review, here in
Uoseburg.
This one operalor, possibly thou
sands of miles away, will set the
type in the composing room of
EVERY NEWSPAPER connected
with the circuit.
F YOU are of middle age, you
think of a newspaper press as a
machine Into which an operator
feeds sheets of paper one at a time,
to be printed slowly and later fold
ed either by hand or on- another
rather slow machine.
The press on which this news
paper, which you are now reading,
is printed takes paper In an end
less belt from large rolls at one
cnil r.nd turns out finished news
papers, all ready for the carriers, at
the other end.
It is controlled entirely by an
electrical mechanism operated by
controls under the fingers of the
press foreman.
THE press on which the Rose
burg newspapers were first
printed produced about a thousand
papers per hour.
The press w hich prints this news

county rancher, following the
death last night of 20-year-old Rob

times by the rancher while riding
In the youth's cab.
Arnolde, a bridegroom of less
than six months, died at Ml. Zion
hospital with his mother and 10-year-old
bride at his bedside.
The apparently unprovoked at
tack occurred early yesterday as
Arnolde was driving Dutton up
Powell Btreet to a fashionable Nob
hill apartment. Without warning,
Dutton drew his revolver and sent
five bullets Into the youth's body.
Young Arnolde collapsed and the
cab crashed into a building. The
rancher fled, but surrendered a
short time later.
At police headquarters, Dutton
described the shooting and became
hysterical. lie struggled furiously
when officers attempted to put him
In a cell, ripping a telephone from
the wall and shouting threats.
Hours of questioning failed to
elicit a coherent story and the rea
son for the attack still remained
unexplained.
Dutton's .wife, the former Kalh
erine Fletcher of San Rafael,
brought suit for divorce at I'kiah
three months ago, charging men
tal and physical cruelty. She was
admitted as a patier at the Uni
versity of California hospital a few
days ago. Dutton is a member of
the pioneer Solano county family
which founded Dutton's landing.
Caspar Ornabaun, San Francisco
attorney who Is associated with
Dutton In the Greenwood ranch on
the Greenwood ranch on the Men
docino coast, said Dutton would
enter a "not guilty by reason of
Insanity" plea when Arraigned.
Dutton, he said, was a frequent
sufferer of hallucinations and prob
ably was the victim of one when
he shot Arnolde.
