An enterprise has Just been com
pleted In this city of which the cttl
sens can well be proud of. Any one
Interested whatever In the workings
of the telephone system would not re
gret paying a visit to the office of
the Pacific States Telephone & Tele
graph company, now occupying the
ground floor of the Matlock building
on Court street, and be shown
through the same, which Manager
Carr invites the public to do.
An entire new system, called the
common battery, central battery,
lamp light system, has recently been
Installed they do not use a thing in
the present system that was used In
the old exchange.
As you enter the office you are In
by Miss Adele Moussu. This desk is
so equipped that the chief operator
can obtain a connection with any sec
tion of the board at any time and
thus be enabled to have Instant and
continuous check of all the operators.
Next, a large room, just back of the
operating room, .called the terminal
room. Here you will find most of
the machinery of the office.
On one side you will see where 1400
Insulated wires enter from the under
ground and distribute on a large
frame called the main f.-ame. F'.is-

Car Freight Train on Blue Moun
tain Unit Was Made til a Banter
With Conductor "Dad" Nash, Now
Deceased So Far as la Known the
Record is Still Unbroken.
"Bllnky" Morgan, the well known
engineer who has Just been appointed
locomotive engineer for the state por
tage road, holds the record for the
fastest run with a freight train on the
La Grande-Umatilla division of the
O. R. & N.
It was In 1900, some time In the
spring, when the track was In good
condition. Just after being ballasted
well, and when Morgan had the
"spring fever" and felt like running.
On leaving Huron stution, 40 miles
east of Pendleton. Morgan asked
Conductor "Dad" Nash, now deceased,
how quick he wanted to go to Bing
ham Springs, 19 miles below, on Mea
cham creek. ,
"Just as quick as you can." was
"Dad's" laconic reply, and "Bllnky"

the public room, which is neatly
equipped for the public toll line serv
ice, off from the public room Man
ager Carr has his office, which is also
furnished and equipped for his con
venience. Next the operating room. Here
you Bee the switchboard reaching al
most the entire length of the large ;
room. It has positions for six operat- I
ors and during the busiest part of the 1
day all positions are filled. I
Each operator has a certain num
ber of Instruments to look after, these
are portioned to her side of the board.
On the horizontal part of the board
are several switches and signals by
which she controls the instruments
allotted to her. In front of her are '
the telephone numbers with a small I
electric lamp for a signal. Kvery time j
a subscriber removes the receiver I
from the hook of his telephone It
lights the small electric light Just;
over the telephone number, and as j
ehe answers the lamp goes out.
By a signal the operator Is ena- i
bld to tell If the connection has
been made. If the line Is in use, if the i
parties are waiting, If the conversa-'
tion has been finished, and If one or !
the other Is waiting for another num-1
ber.
The boar:! Is so arranged that the i
operator, i.t a Rlance, can make an
Instant connection with any line in
the exchange or can connect with the
long distance portion of the switch
board. The long distance portion of the
wltchboard is so equipped that when
a call is given, the exact time is
stamped on the ticket. When the
party begins to talk the ticket la
tamped again, and when they hangj
up their receiver. It la stamped again,
thus enabling the operator to tell the
exact time the parties talked; show
ing the number of minutes or the
fractional part of a minute.
In the operating room you will find
the chief operator'! desk, managed
occuis either In the exchange or on I
the toll lines. 1
Just off from the terminal room I
there Is a large room used for a store:
room for material and a shop, room i
for the linemen.
It Is certainly up-to-date In equip
ment and arrangement, and Pendle
ton can well feel "proud of her tele
phone system, which goes to makej
an up-to-date city. It Is the only ;
common battery system in the Inland I
Empire except the one that is now be
Ing installed at La Grande.
PROCEEDINGS AHE ISSUED.
Iteeordsi of Eighth Annual IJvcfetock
Convention Now Being Distributed.
Secretary James H. Gwlnn, of the
National Livestock association, Is now
sending out the proceedings of the
eighth annual convention of the asso
ciation held last January In Denver.
The book contains 4 00 pages and
numerous photographs of prominent
livestock men all over the country,
and is an interesting and valuable
collection of livestock Information
and statistics.
In addition to the proceedings of
the convention Is also the proceedings
of the meeting of the 'Public Land
commission, consisting' of Newell,
Klchards and Plnchot. with the
stockmen, at the same time and place,
this discussion being one of the most
important portions of the volume.
The volume may be procured by
addressing Mr. Gwlnn at Denver.
Johnnie Kuhn Acquitted.
The jury In the case of the state
against Johnnie Kuhn, charged with
larceny of certain horses, waa out
but 12 minutes, when It returned
with a verdict of not guilty. It Is
aid that they would not have been
out so long, but for the fact that the
members wanted to take a smoke.
Grant County News,
looked at his watch as he pulled
swiftly out of the yards.
There was no operator at North
Fork and there was nothing to stop
for until Bingham Springs was reach
ed.
The freight engine was In excellent
condition and everything was favor
able for a fast run. Bert Huffman,
now editor of the East Oregonlan, was
fireman, and there were two brake
men on the train, who had not heard
of "Bllnky" Morgan's record for swift
running. There were 65 freight cars
in the train and there were no slow
orders nor other obstacles in the way
and so by the time Morgan reached
Ihi first mile post out of Huron he
was going about 45 miles an hour.
Faster and faster the wheels turned,
the cars rocking and reeling around
the curves like drunken men. leaving
a level streak of dust behind In the
canyon.
The caboose whipped around the
sharp curves like It was a whip popper
and the head brakeman who had seat
ed himself on top of the train about
10 .cars from the engine, being una
ble to walk, crawled over the tops of
the cars to the engine, to see If she
was running away.
North Fork, 10 miles away, was
passed 12 minutes after leaving Hu
ron, and now the long sweeping curves
and level stretches of track down
Meacham creek, between Bingham
and North Fork Invited the engineer
to "let her out," and he did.
Trees flitted past like skyrockets,
section crews stood aghast as the train
flashed around the curves, the whistle
screaming warning every mile and
the speed of the train was so great
that the dust It stirred up had not
time to raise until after the train had
whizzed around a curve half a mile
away.
All the coal In the tender waa
shaken down Into the gangway of the
engine, the waten. bucket on the en

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health
and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor
life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and
the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health
should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by. careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial
in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in
many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and
excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians-generally, be
cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained,
by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici
ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian
blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem
edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not
approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup
of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of "every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one sire only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty
cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not
accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial

the wind around the curves, wheels
were rattling, siderods clanking and
drivers whirling so rapidly that there
was Just a wild confusion of sound,
and complacent in the midst of it sat
the blinking engineer smoking his cob
pipe and puiiing the whistle cord.
Exactly 21 minutes after leaving
Huron, he stopped at Bingham,
making the 19 miles in 21 minutes,
including starting and stopping, with
65 cars on a mountain grade with
dozens of eight and 10 degree curves.
So far as Is known the record
stands unbroken on the mountain di
vision of the O. R. & N.
Great Britain Loses Land.
Great Britain lost 148,906 acres be
tween 1867 and 1880 by the encroach
ment of the sea, and 29,155 acres be
tween 1880 and 1890. A survey In
the reign of Edward I gave the duchy
of Cornwall 1,600,000 acres, but the
ordnance survey Borne .years ago
showed that this had been reduced to
829,500 acres. Villages have disap
peared In the ocean1, as In the case of
Dunwich, of which nothing remains
but a ruined church on the edge of a
cliff.
