plication of the interurban trainmen of

Following the demand made by
operating employes on the city lines,

As
House Mr. Sinnott will be chairman of
that Important committee.
That position now is held by Repre
sentative Scott Ferris, of Oklahoma,
who led the fight agalnBt the Oregon
delegation in its efforts to secure for
Oregon an equitable share of the funds
arising from the sale of the Oregon &
California Grant lands. He succeeded
In holding Oregon's quota of these
funds' to a low figure, thereby depriv
ing Oregon school and road funds of
several million dollars.
The advance of Sinnott to the chair
manship of the Public Lands Committee
will be pleasing to Republicans gener
ally, and to a number of western Dem
ocrats who are not in sympathy with
the attitude Mr. Ferris has taken on
various questions relating to the pub
lic domain, particularly the water pow
er question.
Oregon members of the House now
are well placed on committees Haw-
ley on ways and means. Sinnott on Pub
lic lands, irrigation and water power.
and McArthur on naval affairs.

Our Railroads are America's largest industrial corporations.
Their daily figure work is enormous. Machines are subject to
heavy duty and are bought for organizations, not individual
preferences.
The number of DALTONS used by the Pennsylvania System is typical of
D ALTON demand. The simple 10-Key keyboard is instantly grasped by
any employee. Accuracy is assured because the opportunity for error is
eliminated. A figure item of six figures, followed by one of four figures,
followed by one of one cent the DALTON puts dollars under dollars,
cents under cents automatically.
That is one reason why the DALTON is the fastest adding and listing
machine made. It saves miles of hand movements, saves continuous eye
reference to figures and keys. .Operators attain unequalled speed because
they operate by touch. Make a test on your own work and see for yourself.
