ering up small cottages on the side, near
the track. 1t was estimated by the gentle
men who witnessed the working of the
plow that it would have taken 200 men
four DAYS to have cleared this side-track OF
snow with shovels, and We cleared it in
Just ten minutes.
ave next tried the plow on side track
leading out from the round house, which
passed back of the wood shed. Here the
snow was frozen nearly as hard, and ranged
from eight to twelve feet IN depth. This
track was about l, 800 feet long. We cleared
it of snow in fifteen minutes, throwing 1t
over the top of large buildings and break
ing windows at hotels and stores on the
business street, two hundred feet from the
track. We then opened up two or three
other side tracks which were buried up in
about the same manner, and then got or
ders 10 come to Sacramento We found it
necessary TO reduce the cab in order to pass
through the snow sheds. On the trip TO
Sacramento we passed through some very
deep snow banks, notably
AT CASCADE.
The banks had been opened up By the
shoyelers, small bucker plows and the ro-
tary, but the cuts were too narrow for the
Cyclone to pass, and we Widened them out
from twelve TO fifteen inches, per-
hitting he Pullman cars to pass without
taking off the steps, as had been necessary
before. We came in contact with several
slides, which were very quickly thrown
from the track Your photographer, Mr.
Hodson, was with us and had an oppor-
tunity to get some magnificent views.
Notwithstanding the good work the
Cyclone did at Truckee, and all along the
line, l wish to say that it has worked all
the time at a great disadvantage, as one en-
CINE was completely disabled on the Salt
Lake Division, where two cylinder heads
were blown out. One of the engines had

Master Mechanic Crosby, of the Salt Lake

to be a machinist and stationary engineer

with the largest Baldwin locomotive boiler

OF the boiler being % feet, having 800 feet
of heating surface, 1t has q twelve-foot
fre-box and 165 fues, two inches by four

IT HAS A FLANGEI
On the front end which works by air, and
gathers the Snow from the center OF the
track and from each side of the rails, TAX
ing it into the inner portion of the pillow,
whence it is expelled through the spout on
the top, leaving q perfectly Hanged rail.
The trucks are extra-heayily built, having
5lx8 journals. The plow weighs seventy
five tons three hundred pounds. 1t is en-
tirely under the control of the engineer,
who stands at the front end, on the inside,
and operates the throttles and communi-
Gates with the pushing engineer by the use
of his whistle; without having any gong5,
signals or bells, as is customary on the
rotary plows. The engines are capable of
travelling 700 revolutions per minute, and
being connected directly to the fan and
auger makes it possible to reyolye them
with the same rapidity.
THE INVENTOR
OF the Cylone steam snow plow, E P.
Caldwell, of Minneapolis, Mimi, is also
General Manager of the Duluth, Huron
and Denver Railroad, and has had
large experience in railroadipg, having
worked himself up from a locomotive
engineer to his present position. He
is a man of magnificent physique and
broad intelligence. On his arrival in the
city yesterday morning he Immediately re-
tired for a few hours OF much needed rest,
and was not visible to reporters until about
o'clock last evening. when he was seen by
q RECORD UNION reporter, and gave en ac-
count of lis trip and the workings of the
plow since be left Ogden. Speaking of the
general workings Of the Cyclone, Mr.. Cald-
well said:
"0f course your readers have already
been informed Of the general principle
upon which the Cyclone works. 1t differs
very materially from the rotary, and is OBJ
Grated or another principle, besides being
much more po1elfal, higher and larger in
every way. On approaching g snow bank
the large anger ct the front is put il mo-
ton, and its tendency is to draw the snow
into the auger, passing it back into the
fans, whence it is thrown out through the
spout on top TO either side desired. In
order to divert the stream from one side to
the other it is only necessary to reverse the
engines which pTopel the fan and
at the same time reverse the
cut off valve in the spout. While
it requires several engines to keep the ro-
tary up to bank of hard snow, we have
never yet had over three engines on the
pillow in the heaviest work, and there was
no necessity Of having over two. while on
ordinary work one twelve wheeler will be
ample power to propel the pillow into the
hardest snow banks.

FROM OGDEN wEsr.

I'VE arrived in Ogden on the 23d of jan
uary, and Immediately commenced work
on the Salt Lake Division. We passed
through snow banks en- the Pequot noun
tains, on the Salt Lake Division, ranging
from ten to fourteen feet in depth and the
snow wss hurled to g distance of from 100
to It's feet down the mountain side. Pass
ing over the Salt Lake Division we were
accompanied by Superintendent S. n.
Knapp. Roadmaster Fitzgerald and the train
crew. The first Snow bank that We came in
contact with was light snow, having just
fallen and drifted into The cuts. The auger
running independently from the fan per-
mittsd us to pass through the snoT-bank at
the rate of ten miles an hour
"At Wells the plog was delivered to
Superintendent MyTick. OF the Humboldt
Division. Over this division there was
scarcely any snow to contend with. In
fact. the plow did not 90 any work except
widening the cuts.
"At WaGsworih we met Superintendent
Whited, of The Tfuckee Division, and we
pass ed over that division, widening out
the cuts and throwing cut all the loose
snow end small drifts that bad gathered
there during the night. When We arrived
in Truckee the plow was put to work clear

Now this is the metaphorical force and dynamite
that am ever and anon recommending to my
coadjutors in securing the rights of 20,000,OOO of
women on this green earth.
Patience and responsiveness are beautiful vir-
tues in dealing with children and feeble-minded
adults but with those who have the gift of reason
and understand the principles of justice, it is our
duty to compel them to act up to the highest light
that is in them, and as promptly as possible.
We have rehearsed the great principles of our
government on the popular platform, until the
leading journals are wont to say that the same old
arguments have been made to do duty once more,
and the literati ask us if, like Poe's Craven" we
intend to sit and sing suffrage on every door-post
forevermore One thing is sure, our arguments
have not done their whole duty until the nation is
converted to freedom, and crowns 100000, 900
women with their rights of self-soyereignty. When
that is done, we shall come down from our perches
and sing suffrage no more. Then will new song
be put in our mouths, for our year of jubilee will
indeed have come.

The Woman's Journal says:

Three petitions went to the Massachusetts,
Legislature last week which will be read with curl
osity hundred years hence. One petition asks
that mother may have the same right to her
child that its father has, and that neither parent
shall have right to dispose of its custody or to
apprentice The child without the consent of the
other. Another petition asked for an amendment
of the law of contracts between husband and wife,
so that if either borrows money of the other and
gives note or promise to pay, the note or promise
shall be valid, as would be if given to any other
person. The third petition asked for a law that
will allow widow to live more than forty days in
the house of her deceased husband without paying
rant. And this is in Massachusetts, A Boston
paper well says, "Now that we have ceased to
hang witches, it would seem that we might cease
to torment mothers, wives and widows"
