The taxpayers burden Is -being light ened and In the same throw 40 boys are learning to become ma chinists. This double killing at one fling often has been repeated at the shop.

TONIGHT IS FAMILY NIGHT Soup or Salad Meet or fish Potatoes Vegetables Bread and Butter or BoSs Pie or Pudding and Drink TELETYPE SEEK HY EXTFJiD "Timed Wire" Makw Latest Development Possible; Will Install Here Another step of - apparent great moment la the world ot scientific Invention was that taken Decem ber t when "timed wiro sorrico" was iaaagarated as a national- wide Installment in tho Western Union and Postal Telegraph serv ices. This change at tho present time will affect -only big business con cerns which hare much telegraph and long distance telephone nego tiations. In these houses machines "have beea and are rapidly being Installed, which are akin to a typo writer and look much like tho ma chines now in use by tho press services ot tho country. When it is desired to send a telegram tho telegraph office Is signaled mechanically by this ma chine. Tha address ot the party to whom the telegram is to be sent Is typed on tho machine and the telegraph office opens tho wire di rect from the business house of one city to the business house at tha given address. Then the send er types his own message and this is recorded en the machine in the business house to which the mes sage is being sent The charge for tho wire will un der this new arrangement bo Just for tho time it takes the sender to type the message. It the receiver wants to think tt over the con nection is cut and no charge Is made until the answer Is made. Just what sweeping change this means Is difficult to estimate. Perhaps in a short time the long familiar "bey" of the teelgraph service wHI he ao more, save for residence districts, and the proba bilities, according to Erie Batler, Western Union manager la Salem, are that residences will in time hare some similar machine with which to contact tar distant points. 8alem at present has no "tie- line," as the new connections are called, between the central offices and outlying districts, but It Is ex pected that this connection will be made in tho very near future, according to Mr. Butler.
