Wiling to cross the little Potlach bridge
saturday morning, which was then

by the force of the water. 1t is learned
That the road bed between Juiaetta and
the Clearwater is only slightly damaged
! and that the service can be extended to
Lewiston on completion of the repairs
between Kendrick and Vollmer. The long
bridge, No. 1870, was in the hands of the
bridge carpenters when the high water
came. The bridge was being trussed,
but the piling had not been removed,
which saved the structure from extern
sive damage.
The performance of the new Baldwin
compound consolidation engines just re-
ceived by the Short Line is all that the
officials of the road have anticipated.
These engines are in road service be-
tween Pocatelo and Lima. on the Mons
tana division, and the zoos, purchased
last year, are put on the Eighth district,
Or between Lima ana Butte. The ca
pacity of the new engines to handle
heavy tonnage is already assured. For
the present they are working on the
same rating as the 800 ciass-1,62 tons
from Pocatel.o to Lima-but are capa-
bic of a heavier rating, and one of them
left Pocatello recently with 1880 tons,
the train being reduced at Idaho FAILS.
Some conception Of the Improvement In
the Short Line power since 1885 can be
obtained from the following figures. CIV
ing the rating between Pocatelo and
Lima, of the various class engines: 1898,
600 class (cut-doWns), 1,043 tons: 1899, 72O
c.ass, 1,32S tons; 1900, 800 class. 1,62S tons;
1901 $50 class approximately, LOO tons.
1t is a significant fact, but one not gen-
orally known, that the Oregon Short
Line is a leader in the matter of new
engines, and that the plans on which
the new engines of the past two years
We're built have been eagerly sought by
performance OF the 900's We're published
last year. Mechanical Superintendent J.
/; F.. Dunn was besieged with requests for
drawings and detailed specifications of
the engines and it is understood that a
number of railroads are now awaiting
his report ON the workings of the new
Baldwin compounds.
