Union pacific,s New Enrines.

At the Union Pacific shops in Omaha,
there are in process of construction two
mammoth engines, one for freight and
the other of the Union Pacifics stand
ard passenger make. The passenger
locomotive will be put on between
Cheyenne and Sidney, and it has an
1Sx26 cylinder, with 5-foot 9-inch driv-
ing wheels The freight engine is a
consolidated one, with a 2Ox24 cylinder
and four pairs of driving wheels, each
fifty-one inches in diameter, and it
will be completed in about three weeks.
This mammoth engine will be used on
the heavy grades for freight service on
the Wyoming division. If this loco
motive were placed beside the big ones
now used on the Sherman hill they
would look as small as a narrow gauge
engine beside an average broad gauge
freight engine.
In the boiler shop are two boilers
being made, one for a. ten-wheel engine
and the other for one similar to the
freight engine just spoken of. There
have been nine engines built in the
shops this year

A MOVE AGAINST TRAMPs.
Trying to Prevent the Necessity of
Firing Them from Trains.

A gentleman who is pretty familiar
with the affairs of the Southern Pa

officials of that company had deter
mined TO petition Congress to pass
g law prohibiting tramps or other inn
pecunious persons from riding on rail-
road cars without first purchasing a
ticket or paying fare. Similar laws are
said to be in effect in some of the
European countries and to be very
effective. The Southern Pacific COM
pany has never had so much trouble
with this class of unwelcone travellers
as it has encountered during the past
few months, and has been unable to
devise any means to even partially
remedy the evil. 1t is claimed that
such a move would readily meet with
the support of all the railroads in the
country, as all are more or less affected
by the same trouble

Gold in Arizona.

r. e. Humphrey believes he has
struck the gold mine of the west near
Globe. The ores of his mine, the
Great Western group, are described by
mining men as peculiar beyond the
knowledge of ordinary prospectors, yet
they both assay and mill very high in
gold, with silver running about twenty
ounces to the ton.
One ledge is fifteen feet wide, with
as yet no hanging wall developed, and
upon the ground are several other
lodges from 2A to 4 feet in width.
These are stated to be minimum widths
with frequent kidneys. The ore is sup
posed to be native carbonate of lead,

THE VANDERBILT EXAMPLE,

That the late William II. Vanderbilt
an anathema upon his fellow country
men-"the public be id" is a
matter of public record that his heirs,
executors and assigns could not success
fully contradict, even were they 80 dis
posed. But there was much to admire
in the character of him who bias
phemed the populace. He came to New
York with no experience in the battle
OF life, beyend that of q Staten Island
farmer. Inducted into railroading by
his astute and clear-headed father, he
gave the American people the best
balanced and most uniformly excellent
train service they have 30 far been able
to enjoy in return for their money.
And there wac another thing for which
Mr.. Vanderbilt was to be admired. 1t
was his intense love for everything that
was American. He saw other men who
we're his superiors In education, ii not
in wealth, running wild after European
titles and half crazy to marry their
daughters off to some bankrupt prince
or blackleg peer, with ready-made
family and backload OF gambling
debts. So his love of American char
acter led him to slam the door in the
face of these titled paupers, that he
might preserve his family circle free
from their contamination: Not title is
to be found among the Vanderbilt girls.
They welded not only men OF good
American families, but men who had
proven their fitness to manage their
wives' fortunes by accumulating con-
siderable fortunes of their own,
In Ofenbach's sparkling little opera,
the Princess Of Trebizonde. the comedy
of the piece turns upon the fact that q
O clown who runs an acrobatic show
and has collection OF "wacks fggers"
as Artemus Ward would have put it,,
draws the villa and the title for the price
of an admission ticket. Many Of our
mllionaires have had similar expert
ence in the lottery OF life. They were
clowns enough to 20 after title and
won without realizing that in this
game they were the only losers after all.
Look over the list OF American girls
that have married titled foreigners and
how many happy marriages do you find
among them? About enough to count
on your thumbs. Recollect pretty Jenny
Holladay, who married that unspeak
able maccaroni, Count Pourtalee. She
had not been eight months under ground
when he married e woman with a
blotched reputation because she had
money. Then there Was Lord Herbert

Our story OF the two little pigs. pub
lished about year. ago and copied more
extensively than anything that ever
appeared in the HERLD's columns, finds
its correlevant in story given out by
the Californian, published at Bakers
field, which mentions the case OF q
farmer of that neighborhood, who sold
70 head of hogs at 5si cents per pound
which footed up the handsome little
sum Of 1925, al average of $12.67 per
head. 1t is claimed that IS acres of
land, seven of alfalfa and eight of Egypt
ian corn, furnished the feed to fatten
this amount of pork. The corn ia some
thing to be planted every year, but the
alfalfa is not. Its growth is perpetual
after il is once sown. Hogs
make great deal of soft flesh on it, but
the corn is needed to harden the meat
for the shambles. But glance at these
figures reveals an enormous profit in the
American hog. Divide 1925 by 10, the
number OF acres required to produce the
food ior this amount OF pork, and you
have as the gross result $65 per acre,
which is produced with comparatively
no labor at all. The work OF feeding
that number OF hogs would not take up
an average of two hours per day of any
industrious mans time.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL PROSPECTS
FRIGHTENING,

1t is reported from Washington that
the secretary of state has been emerge
tically at work in design to strsighten
out the Nicaragua canal difficulties, and
to bring the government more closely en-
rapport with that great enterprise. 1t

atone for his unfriendly action when he
withdrew from the senate, in 1885. the
Nicaragua canal treaty, under which
the work could have been prosecuted
with the inestimsble prestige of the
government behind it. This action OF
Cleveland has always been looked upon
as an impolitic one in view OF the i'm
portance of the canal to American inter
eats, and it is now averred that the
activity OF the state department on the
subject is somewhat in the character of
an atonement for the mistake made
eight years ago. 1t is also said that the
state department has accurate informa-
ton on the rumors current that unless
something be done speedily by our gov
eminent foreign capital, with the back
ing OF foreign powers, will try to possess
itself OF some OF the material advantages
which our own country and citizens are
able to secure under the present conces-
sions. We are not yet advised OF
the particular course the state
department will pursue at the
present coDjuncture; but we are
assured in general terms that it will be
brilliant stroke OF policy. Let Us hope
that it will be not only brilliant one
but one OF practical effects. 1t would
