Ti re has never been any doubt of
!: availability of the telephone for
train ditpatcbln?
since Mr. llaui-

ted P.evere I'cach
au I Lynn suj-
co '.fully operated
trains by tele-
l hone on that
read l' years
piincij.al railroads
to act as tliounh
.here were doubts. This couserva-I-.'ii
was due perhaps to the f -oiing
hat while tho telephone n:i0'hi be just
is yood as the Uicrraph It would not
j.' any better nT.d since the tele-
.'.raoh wr.s estaUlshed and fairly sat-
sfpciory why make any change? Tha
i i two years has brought a great
'.haiuo in this feeling however.
This l.in been brought about by
ho demand on the part of lh public
'or a more rapid aud ftef;ti"nt train
fi'ivlce am' the near approach for
'. e enforcement of the federal e'-ht
lour rule coupled with the scarcity of
eiulers.
To neet these conditions of notes-
: three? ways were o;i'u. The pre
' " legranh f ystcru cculd be en-
i" '1 a a ;'arate t ! 'pho system
i s :il: :1 or tho present r.dograph
cs .'.'julppr d wiih te'ephen." a.-p'r-
u i.
Composite systems arc etpedally
vpii'ur on the vast railway sysie;
t-o west where stations of leu a-u
:ir ararf and the cost of construct-
or 'cipphone .lines Is high.
Tli; portable telephone has come
nto r.l.nost geneial use on western
oat! several of which carry the In-
struments on every train.
All these Instruments are of special
design being compac t and inclosed la
a carrying case. In event of a wreck
or a washout this set may be quickly
connected to the composited jiortion
of the telegraph line by means of polo
and lii;e provided for the purpose. Any
member of the train crew can easily
communicate with the nearest slatlon
and give a detailed account of tho dif-
ficulty. The train dispatcher can thus be In-
formed and change hi orders to pre-
vent further catastrophes while the
division superintendent liecaus of
the detailed information given him by
some one right on the scene of the
trouble can Issue clear and explicit
orders for correcting the difficulty
without having to wait until he has
made a long run with tha wrecking
crew and sized up the sli nation.
The wrecking trains also are pro-
vided with portable telephones en-
abling the crew to keep iu touch wit!
the chief wrecker. The advantages of
such a system over the old pracil.-e of
sending a tiain man back over mu iy
miles of track to' some telegiaoh !a
tlou are easily apparent. A few i nn
utes gained at such a orish as a
wreck may often mean life to the un-
fortunate victims of such a cams
tropin.'
In handling train orders by tele-
phone the same general methods ap-
ply as with the telegraph any names
or figures occurring In the ord-T be-
ing spelled out. jetter for letter. Por
instance; Kngine 1.189 one tlirt
right nine nnd on slncle tracks the
names of ihe stations are spelled out.
This Is done not only when the orig-
in! cudor is given but !n all repeti-
tions thus avoiding even the slight-
est chance of an error. The diapatch-

In Memoriam.
DeWitte Clinton Duncan the subject
of this sketch was born in the state
of Ccorgia near Dalouegi four score
years ago. Here he spout bis Jnfar.t-
hood lie came with his people tho
Cherokee Indians to the Indian Terri-
tory when but eight years of age.
From his earlist year he was a Ktu-
dent and a thinker and as lie grew
older the center of his thought and
the mainspring of his life was the wel-
fare of his people. He early in life
realized that nothing could stop the
progress of white civilization and
treaty or no treaty he realized the
Indian must sooner or later yield.
In order to best serve his people he
took advantage of every educational
opportunity thrown in his way.
Ile entered the historic male sem-
inary at Tahlequah. a school for In-
dians. Graduating from this institu-
tion with high honors he entered Dart-
mouth college. New Hampshire ami
pursued u full collegiate course gradu-
ating with the class of 1861. The class
was an oxcoptionaly strong one. Mr.
Duncan ranked in scholarship with the
best in the class. After leaving Dart-
mouth he taught In New Ungland for
two years and then came to Wlscoiir
sin here he met Miss Helen Kosen-
crans. Their acquaintance ripened in-
to love and they were married and
came together to Iowa here both
teaching and engaging iu work for
the betterment of humanity occupy-
ing the front rank in these efforts
tnen taking up the law his chosen pro-
fession and wrus an honored member
of the Vinita liar nt the time of his
death.
.Mr. Duncan was the last of his gen-
eration. In the family were eleven
children. Seven sons and four daugh-
ters all reached maturity and died In
this country.
In the passing of Do Witte Clinton
Duncan known as "Tooo.ua stee" his
Cherokee and also his pen name that
part of Oklahoma kaown as Indian
Territory as woB as all Oklahoma
has lost one of Its most uaique and
notable cltir.ei.
IntenseV patriotic and loyal to his
people tho Gfemrikeea he was always
defending their rtghta with pen and
Toice. He was Hompnlously honest
and though h mfeht h& enrlcbed
atmgelf nt the experwe of his people
he adhered to his own ideas of right
and Justice which Is In Itself a white
monument to his character.
His was a superior mind practical
In the working out of his thoughts to
him a promise was a promise to be
kept.
The ancient treaty made by the gov-
ernment lo the Indians relative to their
removal to the Indian Territory a
treaty which opened with the poetic
statement "As long as grass grows
and water runs." To him meant exac t-
ly what it said. Though realizing the
inevitable that white civilization must
prevail Mr. Duncan held that there
was an honorable way which was not
taken.
Recently lie has devoted muc h of his
time to the interests of his home farm
near town and to his reading and writ-
ing never losing interest in the gen-
eral affairs of the country.
He passed' peacefully away at u:l"
p. m. November 2nd nnd was laid to
rest In Vlnlta cemetery November
5. 1009.
Ho leaves a widow with many sym-
pathizing friends to mourn her loss.
He was a member of the Methodist
church. He was a good type of the
Christian and might have sung with
Tennyson:
"Sunwt and evening star
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning of thn
bar
When I put out to sea.
Por such a tide as moving seems
asleep
Tck full for sound or foam
When that which drew me from out
the boundless deep
Turns again toward homo.
.Twlight and evening bell
And nfter that the dark
And may there be no sadness of
farewell
When I embark.
For though from out our bourn at
time and place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to pee my pilot face to fse.
When I have crossed the bar."
