Pact sit ee a ba NEW MACHINES TO SPEED WIRE. REPORTS HER Western Union Installs Latest Wrinkle in Telegraphic Com- munications to Replace Antedated Methods Some few pessimists who didn’t strike oil in their back yard may think that Casper has retrograded or deteriorated, as it were, but the Western Union Telegraph Company, believing in the future of Casper, has installed in the local office two auto- matic printing telegraphing machines that send and receive messages au- tomatically at the rate of 70 mes- sages per hour. These machines are models of pre- sission and efficiency and increase the amount of work that an office can handle twofold. Casper will probably double its number of tele- gtaphic dispatches thru the installa- tion of the almost human instru- ments. The only human agency that enters into the sending of a message is the recording on a key-board very similar to a standard typewriter! board. This is done by a highly trained operator, who must be very accurate and who can operate, using the touch system at a fairly speedy the touch system, at a fairly speedy tering, the impression is made by punching various numbers of holes at different positions on the paper tape, the dispatch being transmitted to Denver or other office automatically. The receiving machine is very simi-| lar to a typewriter in appearance, but works on slightly different principles. The type is set on a wheel which re-| volves and strikes a small inked cyl- inder on its way to the paper. Cor- rections can be made by back spac- ing, but the incorrect spelling never appears on the sheet which the cus- tomer receives. B. H.

Forbes, local manager, contemp!ates a very busy season at the local office, as much of the business heretofore done over the Western Union wires of the Denver office will come thru Casper. } It is not a case of still waters| runing deep at the local office, for} the more noise they are making with the machines the busier they are. The new automatics, it is true, are a little nejisy with the incessant clicking and releasing of a thousand plates and levers, but at that they are a time- saving device, and with the increas- nd for telegraphic service! demanded by the Government, as well as private citizens and concerns, time is valuable, and every little saving in this commodity is worth while. pec et arma se ets MAN JAILED FOR CASHING CHECK LOST BY OWNER Five plain drunks answered the roll eall this morning before Squire Tubbs, besides these was Jesse Hall on a charge of living off the proceeds of a disorderly house, Frank John- son on a forgery charge, Alberta Hol- Hngsworth on a disorderly charge and Ollie Van and Elvan Hill for fighting. } Frank Johnson found a check all made out and cashed same at a bar.| It developed that the check had been lost by a business man nearby and Johnson was taken in charge on a warrant.
