about $50 ZOO pounds each. One of these
engines, on the Northern Pacific railroad i,
has hauled a train of 600 tons weight up
q grade of l1G feet per mile, with reverse
curves.
Ninety-three locomotives were ex-
ported TO the following countries: Aus
tralia, Brazil, Canada, Central America,
Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico and New Zea-
land.
Taking the average length per engine
and tender at forty-five feet, the year S
output of 737 locomotives coupled to-
gether would make a train about six and
one-fourth miles long, and under steam
would weigh over 80 900 tons. The
average size and weight per locomotive
and tender is greater than in any previous
year. Philadelphia Ledger.

He measured the cloth, yard after yard:

which he did and proved the correctness

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
OTTAWA, Ont, February 26.-In the
House of Commons this afternoon Hon
Laurier, leader of the Opposition, in g
brilliant speech moved a sweeping reso-
luton that Canada enter into negotia-
tions with the United States and
that the "modus vivendi" in the
fisheries matter be continued. Laurier
went on to advocate mutual enlargement
of trade relations by both countries. The
sympathy of Canada for the South in the
late war led to the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty of 1854. Laurier ar
raigned the Government for it's narrow
Interpretation of the treaty OF 1918, with
all its harsh iDjustices, and deplored the
Of the Government to return
to this treaty.
Sir John Macdonald said that the
treaty which was rejected last year was
in itself confirmation of Canada's con-
tentions. What Americans once consid-
cred their right they will find they will
have to purchase. Canada does not pro-
pose to make treaty by surrenders. She
will stand on her dignity. Sir John de-
MED that the Government or magistracy
avored the South in the late war.

Paying Taxes.

Yesterday was day of free grace to the
delinquent taxpayers of the county. The
Sheriff did not begin to knock down
houses and lots, farms and ranches, like
job lots in an auction room. All day
long yesterday an eager crowd of belated
property owners jammed Mr.. Piatt's
office to redeem their homes. On Mon
day the receipts of the day footed up
$40, 900, and yesterday it was about as
much. Thus far none of the officials can
even guess at the number of pieces OF
property to 60 to sale, nor do they even
know the aggregate amount of the delin-
quent.
. To-day the Sheriff will begin his un-
gracious but necessary offices on the list.
Those who have not paid may do so at
the Tax Collectors Office up to the day
when their plots 60 to sale. But in spite
of all efforts, there will be a great
slaughter Of property at the hands of the
Sheriff.

ThOse WHO are mentioned Tor the
Positions.
The army of candidates for the various
positions to be flied when the newly
elected officers take hold, is gradually
increasing in size and large sized di-
rectory would be needed to contain all
that have been mentioned. No caucusses
have been held as yet by either the new
Councilmen or the Board of Education,
but it is understood that Mr.. Frankeniield
is the only one named for President of
the Council, and Mr.. Pomeroy the only
one for President of the Board of Educa-
tion. 1t is not considered at all likely
that that there will be any change in the
School Superintendent or his deputy.
Both Mr.. Friesner and Mr.. Baker are
staunch Republicans and have filed their
positions more than ordinarily we'll. 1t
would be difficult to find gentlemen as
we'll fitted for the places as
they are. 1t is stated, however,
that one of the new School Directors is
pressing the claims of former principal
of one of the schools, who, it is said, was
dropped from the department for some
reason.
For the Office of Building Inspector,
the name of John Haskell is mentioned,
as we'll as that of Jack Skinner. DIR.
Kurtz is mentioned for one of the mem
bers of the Board of Health. There ap-
pears to be more anxiety over tho Police
Commissioners than any other position.
Messrs. Tom Goss, w. g. Taylor, J.
Hanley and Captain Seamans were sug-
gested yesterday. 1t was stated that
Major G.. E. Gard was not in the race
for Chief of Police, as he is not resi-
dent of the city.
