been invested by any road in Portland

ican built locomotives In India Natur-
ally the new and energetic rivalry thar
has sprung up so sudden is view ed In
England with much interest and with
some alarm How its causes and pos
sible effects are considered is shown
by long and carefully written arti-
Gle that is printed in a recent issue OF
the London Times.
A labor war is assigned as the first
cause, the writer holding that the i'm
pOrtatons are largely attributable to
the engineers lockout two years ago
and the consequent inability Of home
constructors to make up the leeway
then lost and to supply the pressing
demand Of increased traffic Engines
We're required to meet this traffic. and
as reasonable deliveries could not be
obtained at home there was no choice
but to go TO foreign market"
Whatever the influence OF the lock-
out, It iS certain that the supply was
short and that the demand was excep-
tionally large. The English builders
were unequal to the calls upon them,
and when it came TO the resort to for
cigners only Americans We're seriously

the Times thinks, was fortunate. BE-.
cause, as he says. the Americans are
practically our only rivals in this par
ticular branch Of engineering in the
siper markets Of the world. and up to
the present no opportunity has been
afforded of trying their engines against
ours on our own lines
There is a suggestion here that the
experiment may have a modifying ef-
feet upon British construction, and the
correspondent indicates some Of the diff
ferences between the home made ana
the American made locomotive which
gives the manufacturer Of the latter
an advantage that may be overcome
by the adoption Of American IDEAS in =
British shops. In the general foreign
competition the Americans win by
greater readiness. They offer their de-
signs with few changes. while the

The following statement. signed by Chas.
F. Keefer adjutant Of Kit Carson Post,
No. 2, g. A. R., has been issued:
There was recently printed in some news
papers circular from Gen. r. G. Dyren-
forth, containing. among other appeals of
political nature, call on all Union vet
Grams to electioneer for the election Of Mr..
Henderson as Speaker Of the House Of Rep
resentatives. This circular is signed by
Gen. Dyrenforth as a member of Kit Car
son Post. G. A. r. Inasmuch as the rules
and regulations of the order strictly pro-
hfbit the use Of its name in the field OF
politics, and in order that the position of
Kit Carson Post be clearly understood. that
post, at its stated meeting, by unanimous
vote, resolved that on its part it utterly
regulates and has no sympathy with the
above mentioned circular published by said
Dyrenforth, and requests the newspapers
which published the circular with the name
OF the post attached to give this disclaimer
the benefit of equal crculat ton
1t Is understood the case will be brought
up at the next meeting of the post in June.
