In seeking to ascertain why something
has not been done in this direction the
student will find two fundamental rea-
sons The first is that the passenger
train of today is modelled after the first
train built by Stephenson and the other
pioneers of railway construction Their
passenger cars We're coaches hitched to-
gether, and not designed to attain any
great velocity In other words, the first
train consisted Of an engine hauling
wagons. In one hundred years we have
not much improved on this type of con-
struction. We yet have the engine and
upholstered wagons hitched together
more or less loosely.

In order to attain this speed the design

A SHORT FRONTIER STORY

AS Western settlement progressed after
the purchase Of the Louisiana territory
from France, in 1903, 1t gradually ex-
tended up the west side of the Missis-
sippi until the state of Missouri was ad-
mitted into the Union. in 1920 which was
followed by the states of Iowa and Min
nesota, along the line of the Mississippi,
souri,. The Mexican war occurred in
1916, and as one of its fruits California
was ceded to the United States and was
admitted to the Union in 1850. The terri
tory which now composes the states of
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, was
finally determined to belong to our coun-
try by the treaty with Great Britain,
which was signed July II, 1916, fixing the
boundary line between US and the Brit
ish possessions at the 49th parallel of
north latitude. These extreme Western
acquisitions gave US an immense coast
line on the Pacific ocean, leaving
stretch of country between our Pacific
and central possessions, on the Missouri,
of considerably over 1000 miles in extent,
which was uninhabited by whites, and
composed the hunting grounds of many
savage tribes of Indians, and the pas
turage ranges Of countless herds of buff
faIo. This vast area of country was
practically unknown and UNEMPLOYED, al
though it had been crossed by the expedi
tions of Lewis and Clark, in 1S04-6 John
Jacob Aston in 1911, Capt. Bonneville in
1882, Marcus Whitman in 1885, and John
c. Fremont in 1S43, to which sources of
information may be added the prejudiced
reports of the Hudson Bay company.
When California was coded to us by
Mexico very little was thought of 1t as
an acquisition to our possessions. 1t was
looked upon as a country out of which a
small trade in hides and tallow might
grow, but nothing more. I have heard it
denounced on the floor of the house of
representatives in Washington by some
of the wisest statesmen of the day as a
bear garden, unfit for the use of civil
lied man; but prophets usually make
bad work of matters about which they
know absolutely nothing, which was the
case with California in 184S. However
adventurous spirits soon found their way
there as they have always done in West
ern America, and in 184S or lS49 gold was
digging a mill race on his ranch, which
discovery at once settled the status and
fortunes of California. The news soon
reached the states. and spread like a
prairie fire on a windy day. All the sub
sequent gold eXcitements of Frazier river,
down to and including the EIondike have
been insignificant in comparison. 1 was

There was no way of reaching the

YACHTS AND TRAINS COMPARED.
Now, yacht or any vessel travelling
through the water at a speed of twelve
miles an hour encounters a resistance
less per square foot than a train travel
Ing at the rate of seventy miles an hour.
Neither the Columbia nor the Sham
rock will present one inch of sQuarely
resisting surface teithe medium through
which it passes, and your modern Nesti-
bule train is content to jam six hundred
square feet against the atmosphere
through which it is attempting to attain
a velocity.
The original designers Of our passenger
trains-the Stephensons and others
knew nothing nor cared anything for at
mospherfc resistance. Stephenson in
vented the locomotive. and spent his
lifetime in its improvement. We have
gone ahead attempting to increase cur
speed by yet further improving the loco
motive, and have ignored the fact that
from the nature of its constructions the
locomotive in itself IS comparatively
weak and inefficient when 1t comes to ex-
erting a tension on a moving body
This brings US to the second reason
why nothing has been done toward re,
sisting atmospheric pressure. 1t has
been assumed, and yet is assumed, that
the passenger locomotive is a machine OF
practically unlimited power. Now, as
matter of fact the most powerful loco
motive in the world has pulling power,
or traction power, not exceeding 10000
pounds, or ten tons. All of its power
is derived through the frictions between
its four driving wheels and the track. 4
