New System of Discipline. On the first of Septemlier the Brown system of discipline went into effect on the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line. The main feature of the system is the cultivation of a better feeling between the employes and the officials who are placed over them. In a brief sentence it can lie summed up as ljeiitg discipline without suspension This system is rap idly lieing adopted by the leading rail roads of this continent. Under the old system railroad em ployes were reprimanded, suspended, with loss of pay for a stated period or dismissed. Under the Brown system each em ploye's service is by record only and in the record book is kept his whole service record. Tilts is operated on the princi ple of a ledger with a good and had, debt and credit account under each name, in stead of lieing suspended for a stated period for violation of rules, damage caused by carelessness or personal mat ters affecting the good of the service. This is one record only. On the other hand, a clear record needs no entries, but that does not prevent special men tion being made on the record for any acts of bravery or heroism, special acts of loyalty or protection of the company's interest. In fact, the Brown system is one that gives full credit to all the em ployes and the good record may he used to wipe out the had record; for instance, on the road a reprimand will lie cancelled by a perfect record for three month*; a suspension of teu days will he cancelled by a perfect record for six months, and so on. Under the present system a division superintendent may be the only one who knows of an employe's good acts, but under the Brown system his record tells the whole story to the general operating department. A continued had record may lie cause for dismissal from the service as also a violation of the rules serious enough to merit the extreme punishment. in the i Sunday last.

The loss is ' over 40,000 with little if any insurance, | The citizene worked like Trojans to ! save the town, and prevented the flames from reaching any residence property or buildings.
