A dispatch from Seattle says:
The republican slate convention to

OAD WRECKS
f BE PREVENTED
1
ONLY ft MATTER OF TIE UNTIL THE RAILROADS
WILE DISCARD THEIR DANGERDUR DEVICES,
Now thnt all eyes arc turned toward that disas
trous wreck on the O. It. & N., between Durkee and
Unity, In which a runaway freight train enme tear
ing down the mountain and crashed Into a passenger
train, endangering many lives and the ioss of prop
erty, the attention of the traveling public as well
as that of the officials concerned In this terrible
catasirophc Is Invo'unlarlly turned toward that new
patented device, tho Hurst Automatic Switch, by
means of which Just such disasters ns these can
easily bo averted.
It will only be a matter of time until this device
will be found In operation on all the principal rail
road systems of the country. Take for Instance, in
the above mentioned wreck. See what could have
been averted If this system of switches were In use;
the engineer finding that the train Was beyond his
control, could have arranged the mechanism In the
tnglne so that the engine Itself would have thrown
the switch and look the siding or If It was going too
fast to head In on the siding, It would have left the
rails and prevented n collision In this manner. It
is to be hoped that the Interstate commerce com
mission will soon recommend nnd" Insist on its adop
tion by the different transportation companies, thus
decreasing tho cons'nnt risk of lives and property by
these accidents.
This device Is ot such a simple character that
when It Is used In combination with any other switch
or signai, It Is practically impossible for an accident
to occur from trains running Into an open switch In
either direction.
Th- Switch MechnniRm can be operated from the
engine while running at full speed.
.This point was fully demonstrated at the recent
tent lven It in Sa't Lake. City. Utah, when at the
companies' Invitation, prominent railroad officials
from all over the country gathered to witness tho
public demonstration of Its working qualities. The
O. S. I., has Installed one of the Hurst switches at
this point and at this demonstration passed trains
over and worked the switch while running over 40
miles an hour.
It a switch be left open through negligence, or the
lig'.its should fall, the train will automatically oper
ate the switch nnd remain on tho main track. If an
engineer has orders to take-a siding to let another
train pass, he can operate tho switch from his cab
and will not run by the switch.
The device Is composed of but few Interchangeable
parts of the tension or pull type, Is not likely to get
out of order, und lc adapted for all steam and elec
tric over and underground systems.
As this device Is a simple addition to what Is now
In use on many railroads, we are of the opinion that
the practicability of this device will cause It to fill
the requirements and meet with success. It will
prbve a great labor and time saver, ns no stops need
be made to operate same.

To best Illustrate the Immense value of the Hurst
Automatic Switch & Signal Compnny'e patents, com
pailson should be made with that of other notable
invent Inrs of recent date, for Instance, the Dunlap
Pneumatic Tire Cojnpany had been In operation
when It was sold for tin.OOO.OOO.OO. The sharehold
ers had then recilved dividends and premiums In
the sum of J3, 290, 575. 00, and by the terms of the
sale received $11,437,500.00, giving a total result of
$17,638,075.00. The purchasers, afterwards resold
to another company for the sum of $25,000,000.00.
The Westlnghouse Air Drake made $30,000,000.00
profits and the Bell lelephons hag paid the sum of
$66,000,000.00 In dividends.
It Is claimed that there are In the United States
over 150 patents paying, each, more than $1,000,
000.00 annually. According to an estimate by the
commissioner of patents, three-fourths of the entire
manufaeturfng wealth of the country of upwards of
$6,000,000,000.00 is based on patents. The products
of nil the gold and silver and diamond mines in the
world would not equal the aggregate annual incomes
of American patents'.
Judging from the above facts and figures, It is
not out of the way to estimate the value of the
Hurst patent at $25,000,000.
Many famous Inventions like the Electric Light.
Hell Telephone, Westlnghouse Air Brake and other
Important inventions went begging in the beginning
of the company for the lack or public confidence,
not one person In a hundred, who had a chance to
purchase stock of these companies took advantage
of the opportunity, and now all these enterprises are
paving handsome dividends.
All that the Hurst Invention requires Is an Intel
ligent consideration. Give the following points a
few minutes thought and you will see why we so
heartily recommend the Hurst securities to our
clients. It Is a life saver, It saves the destruction of
valuable freight, rolling stock, road beds and govern
ment mails which affects the public, railroad com
panies and the government directly.
There are four reasons why the railroad compa
nies want and must have the Hurst System. 1st,
the Hurst System Is a necessity. Why? For public
safety. '2nd. it Is mouey saver. 3rd. a money saver
Is a money mnker. 4th, a money maker Is a divi
dend payer md the result Is self evident, that the
Hurst patent has a Vide scope nnd the day Is near
when every railroad will be equipped with the
Hurst System.
The Hurst Automatic Switch and Signal company
Is Incorporated. Its shares are full paid and non
assessable. We leave It io you to conjecture what the shares
will be worth when the factory is started and the
company Is on a producing and dividend paying
basis.
