Electric Line Not Built
The Burlington hns not yet converted
its road from Dendwood to Lead to an
electric line for pnssenger trafilc While
the plans for the work are made and the
change will soon be accomplished yet
but little has been done The company
has ordered the material for the big
power house to be located at Deadwood
from which power will be distributed to
to the lino Material for most of the
work involved in the change has been
ordered but the lino has not yet been
converted to a trolley system This
change will be made for the benefit of
the roads patrons The grades on the
line are heavy and it is neeessaryto
work the engines very hard in pulling
trains When engines are worked hard
they throw out much soot dust and cin
ders making the trip unpleasant The
experiment will be watched with inter

Between 25 and 30 Tons
Horatio Stonp had some curiosity the
other day to know just how his sugar
beets are coming on and measured off
and dug up a square rod of them and
the result was encouraging indeed There
were 157 beets in the square rod and
they weighed on the scales 343l pounds
which would make 549G0 pounds or a
little over 27 tons to the acre if the av
erage should be maintained At 4 this
would make S10 per acre with an ex
pense of 825 per acre Horatio expects
his beets to not fall below 25 tons to the
acre at any rate which will make him a
handsome profit

given below It will be observed that
the samples are quite uniform and that
the sugar per cent and the purity per
cent are high
FARMERS SUGAR TURITY

farmers On the other hand the ad
vantage in quantity is distinctly with
the irrigators
Samples will be sent to the factory

Dispatching by Telephone
The Burlington has tried the use of
telephones on telegraph wires along its
system The experiment has not been
entirely successful and for that reason
Burlington men read with interest a
statement that the Santa Fe had suc
ceeded in perfecting a device that will
obviate the obstacles heretofore encount
ered With the Burlington the trouble
was that while the phones could be used
for talking the bells would not ring It
was impossible to call one phone by
ringing the bell at the other end The
Santa Fe experienced this same trouble
but later reports indicate that the call
bells were made to work the phone be
ing usea successiully while the same
wires were in service for telegraphic
purposes
Out in the Black Hills country the
Burlington is using phones at one or
two places where telegraph wires do not
run or where an operator is not em
ployed In such cases a telephone line
is strung to the nearest telegraph sta
tion and by this means trains are some
times moved
It is a belief that the limit to the use
of the telephone in dispatching trains
will be found on branch lines where there
is not much business On main lines
where there is lots of traffic the tele
graph instrument with written messages
will be found more reliable It is much
easier to trace errors where the telegraph
is in use Lincoln Journal
