Good Roads Editorial, 1901 It seems unlikely now that any legislation providing for the construction of hard roads will be passed at the present session of the general assembly, but never before has the subject received such general attention as at the present 'time. Everybody would be glad to see good roads existing throughout the state and remaining good during the entire year, but the opposition to any proposed legislation providing for them is based upon the belief that the act would be impoverishing to the farming communities. It is a reasonable proposition that when permanent hard roads are built the cost should be distributed through a course of years; surely not less than twenty-five years and to make it fifty years would not be unreasonable. It is estimated that the cost of the roads witf be $2,000 9 mile, but with the improved methods arid Aiachinery of the present day this is afn excessive estimate.

Electric Safety Device Controls Train Speed A new standard in railroad safety is now in operation on the Chicago & North Western Railway Company's tracks between Boone, la., And Council Bluffs, and is being Boone to Clinton, la. This device is operated by an alternating electric current flowing through the rails. The approach of another train, a broken rail, or an open switch breaks this current and by flashing a yellow light in his cab and blowing a sharp toned whistle, gives the engineer immediate warning that Tiis train is entering a danger If for any fails to give prompt attention to these warnings, the Automatic Speed Control immediately takes charge of the train, applies the brakes and brings it to a stoD While the train remains in the danger zone, the yellow light still shows, the warning whistle blows every half mile, and by means of a gear driven governor on the tender, the brakes are applied any time the speed exceeds 20 miles per hour. This governor also safeguards against excessive speed when the tracks are clear and the green light is showing, by signalling the engineer with a soft toned whistle when the speed reaches 67 miles an hour. If this signal is not obeyed, the brakes are automatically applied when the speed reaches 70 miles an hour. At the start of the run, the conductor must not give the signal to proceed until the engineer has handed him the "token." This "token" i>a key which cannot be removed until the Automatic Speed Control has been "cut in," thus assuring that both the engineer and conductor, who are responsible for the safety of the train, know that the device is in before it starts * operation -MSU Classified ad^ar© Jlimers INTO" the Telephone Clearness of tone when speaking over the telephone insures that the person at the distant telephone will hear and understand your message.
