HOW TO OBTAIN.
The True Distribution of a LOcomo.
tiVe'S Weight.

To obtain the exact weight of q loco
motive and the distribution of it's
weight on its different axles has been
problem to the manufacturers for
many years.
The common practice in weighing a
locomotive is to run it upon the scales
and determine the total weight; then
run only the driving wheels on the
scales, taking the weight for them
alone, and lastly to take the weight
with the truck wheels only on the
scales. 1t was found, however, that If
the second and third weighing are
added together the total is always
greater than the total weight as shown
by the first weighing, which would in
dictate that some of the weight is count
ed twice over.
The Baldwin Locomotive works has
adopted plan by which the true
weight of each part is obtained. Five
separate scales. each with q register
ing capacity of 10000 pounds, are
placed on trucks which run upon q
standard track rail and are placed dir
ectly under each axle. The locomotive
is lacked up onto these scales, each
wheel resting in its proper place on the
scales, and the result is the correct dis
tribution of the weight. The large
registering capacity of the scales al
lowing an ample margin over the
heaviest concentration of load to be
found n regular locomotive practice.

LINK AND PIN.

Union Pacific, who came here to at.
tend the meeting the other day, told a
friend that the consolidation of the q nj
on Pacific and Northwest and Omaha is
nearer than generally supposed. He
could not say what plan would be
adopted to bring this about, but init
mated that 1t would be somewhat sim
liar to the consolidation plan In the
case of Union Pacific and Oregon Short
line. A preparatory consolidation will
be that of Northwest and Omaha. This
will likely be undertaken very soon. In
fact, the matter was unofficially taken
up by northwest officials in New York
this week.
The ultimate consolidation OF all
lines in the great prospective system
should materialize within year. Each
line will retain it's individuality and
separate management, but the improve
ments meantime made on each will be
of such a character that the inter
change of traffic will be facilitated in
every way.-St. Louis Republic.
