THE HEAVIEST .. q o. TRAIN.

When the receivers of the Baltimore
4 Ohio Railroad began the now famous
series of Improvements OF the physi-
cal condition OF the entire system,
their object was to increase both the
train load and the number Of revenue
tons per mile and at the same time
reduce the cost Of transportation.
Much has been done, and by the low
ering of grades, elimination Of curves,
laying of new steel rails and the pur-
chase of heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number OF
cars per train. But 1t was not until
the 18th of March last that a demon
stration was made Of what might be
expected of the new Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. Enough new 60-ton capac-
ity steel cars had been delivered to
give the operating department chance
to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each
Weighing $4,000 pounds, were loaded
with an average Of $4,000 pounds Of
coal. To them was coupled new
22x28 inch consolidation locomotive
Weighing 168700 pounds and having
"a inch driving wheels. The start was
made from Cumberland. Nd, and the
destination was Brunswick, ND. on
the second division. In his report Cen
eral Superintendent Fitzgerald says
the train was pulled with comparative
ease and that the class Of engines used
will be able to handle 80 cars of 80
tons capacity each on that division
without trouble. Hitherto the train
load on that division has been 1926 units
of 61a tons each or about 1900 tons. q
40 per cent increase over that of five
years ago. The 80 car train was COM
puted as containing 497 units. or 6.458,-
100 pounds gross. The net weight Of
coal in the train was 4,758, 100 pounds.
1t was by far the heaviest train ever
handled over the line and demenstrat-
ed that heavy power, modern equip
ment with safety appliances. and a
good track. mean more revenue tons
per mile and decreased cost OF trans
portation.

FRESH FROM THE BILLIARDS..
George M. Walker Glad to Get Back
to the Land of Sunshine.

" the Gdtiu OI SUHSnlEiG.
George NJ Walker, who was manager
of the Hotel Adams last winter and
returned here Saturday evening from
Denver to again assume the manage
day if he was glad to return to the
sunkissed land, said:
Eyes, sir, 1 am indeed glad to return
TO the balmy winter climate of Phoenix.
L left Denver last Thursday, the
weather there that day having moder-
sixteen days without a break. For
these sixteen days the thermometer
had ranged from few degrees below
zero to u below. The very oldest in
habitant; every one, declared that this
winter was without an equal in the his
to:y of Colorado. Snow has fallen in
mountains every day since the cold be-
gan and Thursday the fail was the very
worst OF all The Rio Grande and
Colorado Midland had managed to open
their lines to Leadv.le by Wednesday,
but Thursdays storm blocked them

cjals of these lines told me they did not
know now when they would be able TO
get trains through again. The suffer-
ing in the mountain towns has been
terrible and now starvation is staring
many of tho people in the face.
The people on the through train
which l caught at Trinidad, Friday,
had an awful experience coming across
Kansas and eastern Colorado. The
cold wave struck them on the Kansas
plains / thursday and the water pipes
and steam heating pipes OF the cars
fToze up. 1t was simply impossible to
force the steam through the pipes hot
enough to keep it from condensing and
freezing. The result was the pipes
froze and burst, and in trying to thaw
them out the cars were flooded ice
formed on the floors of the cars, max
ing them colder than before. The rail-
road men did everything they could to
make people as comfortable as possible,
but in face OF the conditions they were
practically helpless and the passengers
nearly froze 10 death. 1t was an awful
trip.
II tell you this seems like paradise to
get down here into the warm sunshine
and balmy air of the Salt River valley.
One needs to have an experience with
billiards. to fully appreciate it. .''-Phoe-

friends had gained admission to his
room.
The second case is that Of Andy J.
Murray, who has been employed at the
works for some time. He was caught
at the railroad station trying to mako
his way to Prescott, but was refused
transportation over tho road. Murray
had "a handkerchief, tied over the lower
part OF his face partly concealing his in
hammed face. In this way he succeed
ed in gaining passage in hack loaded
with passengers to the station, and had
no trouble in securing ticket His
condition was only learned after he had
entered the coach with other passengers.
The railroad officials declined to carry
him and he returned to his room. Medi-
Cal attention was at once rendered him
and steps taken to prevent further
exposure. Tuesday afternoon Murray
consented to be moved to the pest house,
where he is now receiving the best of
medical attention at the hands of train
ed nurses.

If more energetic measures are not
taken at once TO control tbs spread of
this disease in jerome the result will be
far reaching and appalling. Local Off
cialA are utterly unaole to cope with the
contagion. County officials are show
ing as little regard for the welfare of
Jerome in this matter as they do in
everything else. Ii is the board OF su-
pervisors' duty to act promptly and

Hail to the pest house and prevent the
public from being needlessly exposed to
the disease, but upon his refusal to go
willingly, he WIS permitted to remain
in his room-a sembiance Of qnaran-
tine being all there was to protect the
public. Officials should understand
their duties better than TO be deferred
from doing what must appear to all to
be an urgent necessity. That the will
of one individual should jeopardize the
the health of a whole community IS
without reason or sanction of law.
