The New Tandem Compound

Breaks the Record For Hauling

a Big Load.
IT YANKS 1900 TONS.
Or a Train Composed of Sixty
Loaded Cars Easily,
From Argentine Into Topeka
Double Header Work.

The new tandem compound engine No
997, which was turned out of the Santa
Fe shops a short time ago, has broken
the record for heavy hauling. The engine
was built as an experiment and was put
into the mountain service, where the
grades are steep ana the loads extra
heavy It was hoped that these kind Of
engines would be capable of doing the
work of the usual double-headers which
are generally run on that part of the
system, and if today's performance IS any
criterion the engines will meet all ex-
pectations.
The s97, without extra exertion, came
into Topeka. today from Argentine pull
ing a load of 1900 tons, composed o. go
cars, which is the heaviest load ever
pulled by one engine in Kansas me
pulling power of these new compound en-
gines is an unknown quantity and WITH
out a doubt is capable of greater load
than was brought in today. Another en-
CINE identical in every respect to No 9S'
is No. 99S. which is in the paint shops,
and will be ready for service IN a rev
days. The railroad men are anxious Tor
a demonstration OF the maximum power
of these engines.

New Form of Ticket Arranged Which
Will Meet All Requirements.


Up to the present time there has been
no interchangea BILE mileage tickets sold,
west of St. Louis. Several attempts
have been made to provide a suitable
interchangeable mileage ticket which
would fulfill all requirements but for
various reasons a satisfactory agree
ment could never be reached by the
roads desiring this form of transporta-
ton.
At a meeting Of the passenger asso-
citation at St. Louis a short time ago, a
new form of interchangeable mileage
ticket was arranged which will fully
meet all necessary requirements and
which will be of much convenience to
travelling men and people in general
who do any great amount of travelling.
This new system will be known as the
interchangeab mileage credit system,
and will be worked as follows: A per-
son who wishes to take advantage OF
this system. will purchase credential,
which is merely a certificate numbered,
with name, description, etc, of the pur-
chaser and this must be shown at the
purchase of all tickets. This creden-
tial, good for one year from the date
of purchase, will be on sale by all local
agents and will cost one dollar Regu-
lar one way tickets are to be pur-
chased at full tariff rates and credit
checks will be given by the ticket agent
at the time of purchase. Now proVld-
ed that 1000 miles or more are travel
ed during the yearly limit, then the ere
Dental and all credit checks are TO be
forwarded to the joint agents and re-
bate will be given OF the difference or
full fare and two and One-haR cents
per mile.
This system is effective on nearly all
railroads in the states of Kansas, Mis-
souri,. Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, Lou

HIS FIRST CASE.
Myers Will Make His Debut as Full
Pledged Attorney.

Pledged Attorney.
Missoula, Dec. S1.-Judge Hayes
administration as justice of the
peace for Hell Gate township is to be
inaugurated with the trial of an
action wherein the ex-Hizzoner Judge
Myers is ito make his debut as full
fedged attorney at law, authorized to
practice exclusively in justices courts.
Mr. Myers is just retiring from the
bench and is fortunate in securing a
case wherein he will be afforded the OPP
portunity of displaying not alone his
legal ability, but also his forensic talent
and gift of oratory. The case in ques-
ton is that of the state vs. Felix, gen
tleman of somber hue, who is to be tried
for assaulting a bartender named La
lOnde at the Office saloon in the pro-
scribed district of the city few even
ings since the object of his assault be-
ing one who endeavored to interpose as
peacemaker between Felix and
Babe" Alice, fair though not ply
sically frail creature with whom Felix
was quarreling. Judge Myers is to de-
fend Felix and the case is to be adj
Indicated on Tuesday afternoon next
before new justice in a new court
room and none the least, by a new at
t0rney in the person of the gentleman
who is about to try his maiden case
Already considerable interest is being
manifested in the matter and Mr.
Myers many friends are looking anx-
iously for the day when the great trial
is to be called. They believe that Mr.
Myers will acquis himself nobly, even
though he fail to acquit his man, and
look upon the defense of his client as
the stepping stone to the district court,
where Hizzoner will eventually appear
and stand in the galaxy of attorneys
that now grace the Missoula bar. Judge
Hayes himself awaits with no little de-
gree of trepidation the calling of the &C.
ton, inasmuch as it will be his first
case since assuming office, and County
Attorney ELECT Denny is already look
ing about him for legal assistance in
the carrying on of the prosecution, he
also being fully conscious of what he is
going up against.

Judicial Kindness,

Missoula, Dec. 31.--Hizzoner Judge
Myers, realizing the approaching disco
luton of his term Of office and expert
encing a fullness of heart which gener-
ally overcomes person at this season
of the year, yesterday exhibited that
degree of kindness which is not sup
posed to be possessed by hard-hearted
officers of the law. HizZoner had occas-
ion to sentence a petty offender to 10
days imprisonment in the county Jail
and was in the act of remanding him to
custody, when the culprit pleaded for a
diminution of the judgment. So earnest
and forcible was he in his prayer that
he induced the judge to knock off five
days and was about to retire when he
made another appeal for clemency.
Again Judge Myers goodness of heart
overcame him and the last seen of him
by reporter he had given the offender
a floater and was delving deep down in
his jeans for a quarter with which to
buy the man a meal Whatever else
may be said of HizZoner, it cannot be
contended that he is uncharita ble-not
at least when some subtle-tongued IN
dividual, as did the one in question, get
to his ear and heart.
