NEW PATENT ELEVATED RAILROAD
Tacoma Man Who VIII Suspend Cars
@ From the Rails.

AbASOAAN =" |" 1RS S"eS
From the Rails.
L. F. Cook. of Tacoma, has secured 6
patent IN an elevated passenger railroad,
claiming economy of construction and rapid
transit, the speed being from sixty to 100
miles per hour, according to the figures de-
Quoted from the working model recently
exhibited before the franklin Institute at
Philadelphia. The cars are to be very light
and small, and to be suspended from poles
set at intervals of eight or ten feet. An
iron arm from the top of the car, with a
erooved wheel at the end, passes over an
iron or steel rail attached to the poles, thus
suspending the cars from the poles by
means of the rail. The cars are then moved
by means of whsels set horizontally at the
side of the poles. the wheels being turned
by a belt or band passing over the wheels
from pole to pole, and the cars being tilted
50 as to rest against the wheels are pushed
onward. The system is designed to operate
two tiers of ears on each side of the poles.
The power for operating the wheels which
produce the motion of the car ia obtained
from stationary p~ower-houses which,
theoretically, are to be placed at intervals
OF a couple of miles along the line. Mr..
Cook. who is now in the east, is planning
to operate a line four miles in length near
New York CITY.

TESTING LOCOMOTIVE SPEED.

How an Expert Did It on the Empire
State Express.
IA dispatch from New York says: A num-
Der OF persons were gathered around engine
No. $40, which pulls the Empire State ex-
press, the fastest train in the world. tn1s
morning about 8 o'clock. They were anx-
ious to see Arthur Sinclair, editor Of Lo-
connective Engineering, start on his second
trip to test the locomotive power. steam
distribution and speed. Mr.. Sinclair Is
regularly engaged by the railroad authori-
ties to make these tests. He made one last
Tuesday which showed excellent results.
The hoped-for speed was not develo!Ied;
however, and a second trip was decided
upon for to-day. Engineers Buchanan and
Mcdonald and D~raughtsman Philip Lon
drigan were selected to ride in the cab to
assist Mr.. Sinclair. Shortly before the train
pulled out he took his place in an iron box
which was screwed just in front of the
cylinder. There he sat with his face to the
rear Of the train when the signal to start
was given. His business ia to watch care
fully an indicator attached to the cylinder
and to record the amount OF steam devel-
oped and the rapidlty Of tbs tram. This
will determine the precise capabilities OF
the engine. The last test did not develop
the required speed, and orders have been
given to reach eighty miles an hour to-day
If possible. This will not be the fastest
time recorded, however, as Mr.. Sinclair re-
Gently made a trip on engine Nc. 235, OF
the Jersey Central, between New York and
Philadelphia, which made q mile in thirty
min and ~one-quarter seconds, or at the
rate of ninety miles an hour, the fastest
Time ever made in this country.

The Commissioners Say They Are Right.

The Commissioners Say They Are Right
In Saturdays Argus appeared an arti-
Gle blaming the county commissioners for
awarding damages of 1926 to Manasseh
Smith and $175 to heirs of the late John
Newman, on account of the widening of
Spring street in Deering near High, and
damages of $50 to Clinton Mosher, $50 to
Richard 7. Rowe and $40 to G. G. Chip
man for a change in the highway west
of Nason's Corner. 1t was alleged by
the Argus that the commissioners could
not legally make these awards, even if
Spring street is county highway. The
commissioners, on the other hand, say
that, after due notice has been given, and
no objections made, the Statutes author
ize them to proceed as they have done.
