M. &St. Paul railroad has electrified 450 miles of its line from Harlowton, Montana, to Avery, Idaho, and has under construction electric installation from Avery to Seattle, 500 miles more. Against a cost of $1,750,000 for coal from its own mines to operate the 450 miles, by electricity it costs $550,000 a year, and on top of this d of the equipment of the road was used to haul coal. The Butte, Anaconda and Pacific railroad pays $96,000 a year for electric power to operate 80 miles of railroad as against $270,000 a year for coal for the same line, doing a bigger business. This marks a new era ir, railroading, to say nothing of the conservation of coal, utilizing our wasting one-thir- water powers, preventing burning up all the crude oil and choking tunnels with gas. It takes 10,000 horse power to operate 100 miles of single-tracrailroad, and there are 48,700 miles of railroad in Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, . s i t S100 REWARD 1100 The readers on this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded risease that science has been able to cure in all stages, and that 4 s Catarrh.

A Panorama of Telephone Activity IAdvertlBfmentJ view of this country today would show a panorama of countless A birds-ey- e military and industrial activities. Here $he smoke of a thousand stacks obscures the view of arsenal, steel and iron .works and innumerable factories. There the suns rays flash upon thousands of glittering bayonets and rise and set on many new and strange looking cities the mobilization camps of the armies of the Republic, or gild the wings of swift aeroplanes gliding to and fro in bird-lik- e flight over broad aviation fields. National The Capitol would be seen, from which all these vast enterprises are with hundreds of telephone lines radiating from it directed and to all parts of the country, and linking it to each military and industrial center. A veritable maze of other telephone pole lines, covering the whole country k of wires, would be visible, connecting city, town, camp, fortiwith a stations, and lightfication, navy yards, military headquarters, coast-guar- d commission if it can bring this case to a speedy, and satisfactory conclusion. The same question is up for decision before the Utah commission and rates have already been increased in many eastern cities.

All this telephone activity is but a part of the. vast work the Bell System is doing. Join us in this patriotic service,, by remembering that the more careful "you are to make only telephone calls that are necessary and to confine your talks as much as possible, to the less busy hours of the day, the better we can meet the needs of the Nation. - The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company one-nint- in above states is over mountains, will eliminate noise, and electricity smoke, dust, cinders, gas, danger of mountain fires, and asphyxiation tunnels. The problem is not to get the railroads to use electric power but to get capital to develop power plants under restrictive laws, and a system of conservation that proposes to tax the power where made. in NICKEL Jt , , .'I i'l , CANNOT CARRV THE LOAD Many large western cities have been forced to go before the state utility commission and ask for permission to increase car fare and' eliminate free transfers in order to pay employees increased wages to meet changed living conditions. The managers of the lines freely admic that the employees are entitled to more wages but its a case with most of them of going into bankruptcy and getting additional revenue. During the past ten years expenses of operation have steadily increased until today cost of material and supplies alone, has doubled and trebled and wages have increased to a considerable extent. Every manufacturer and supply man raises his price without ceremony and the public demands as good or better service than ever. Jitneys have cut in heavily in many instances. It looks very much as if the nic-kl- e could no longer carry the load and if the public is to get service and the employees reasonable compensation, an increase in revenue is inevitable. In Portland the employees have stated their case and the street railway has given its side and both have put it up to the public and the utility commission for a decision on its merits. . No strike has been called and the public seemsto be in favor of granting relief for both sides. This is the correct way to settle the matter and it will be a big feather in the cap of the Oregon utility e Utah School Has Officers Training Camp.
