WORLDS FAIR EXHIBITS.

The Pennsylvania and Reading Roads VIII
Have Fine Displays At Chicago.
Both the Philadelphia and Reading and
Pennsylvania Railroad companies will have
elaborate exhibits at the Worlds fair. The
Reading exhibit will be in charge Of Gem
eral Agent Kindred. who has already
planned several of the more Important fea-
lures. The coal display will be presented
on a magnificent scale. giving representa-
ions of the manner Of handling the pro-
auctions OF Pennsylvania vast coal fields
from the mine to the market. Realistic
sosnes will be set, displaying models Of
mines, the breakers. coal yards and ship
pins wharyes. 1t Ia probable that Port
Richmond, the largest o~oal-shipping plant
in the country. will be vlvidly depicted in
miniature. Other interesting features OF
the display will represent the rolling

Pennsylvania exhibit have been learned,
although the company has decided TO %
represented at the fair. Tit authorities at
Altoona will havs charge of the principal
features, representing the mechanical part.
This will probably include exhibitions OF
speed appliances, the block system, air
brakes, safety platforms. etc.
An interesting exhibit will be that OF q

exhibit at the fair will be viewed with more
universal interest than that of the rail-
roads.

Express-San Francisco Fears
for Her Position.

The Great Northern extension il nov
fifteen miles west OF Kalispel, but track
laying is proceeding very slowly just now
because Of the SNOW, which Is from three &c
four feet deep. A gang Of men are kept
busy shoveling it off the grade so That
:. tracklaying can proceed. Side tracks have
been nut in at kalispel, and are now being
filed up with oars loaded up with material
which is being rushed forward to that point
as rapidly "a possible, preparatory to rush-
ing construction in the spring.
Tho track through the mountains is not
vet thoroughly ballasted and completed,
and it is feared that washouts or landslides
may prevent bringing material fast enough
in the spring and thus delay construction.
ii ia to prevent any sush delay that the
material is being rushed through to Kali
ispel.
Hugh Kirkendall, who has the contract
for building q section OF the line twenty

from Couloe City and Ellensburgh. the

The members visited the Edison works, the
Thompson-Houston works, at Lynn, Mass,

which have been concluded, and the inten-

partially revealed by Chief Engineer Nc
