The individual members Of the A. B.

good luck in so far as accidents and
health are concerned George Leander,
Of the Crescent team. was perhaps the
most unfortunate one on the sick list.
Coming from Worcester on Friday
night, July II, in run for the train he
sprained his ankle Worcester was the
fourth meet on the eircuit-up to July
q Leander was off the track. This
practically puts him out Of the race for
the championship. Unless he does some
remarkable work, it is doubtful. indeed,
II he can pull up with the leaders OF
course, with his rest OF two weeks. he
re-enters the game as fresh as when the
grand circuit opened. In this ne has
an advantage which should help him,
when we consider that the other men
will soon be showing signs of physical
distress.

Tom Monarch Cooper's condition this
year is surprise to every one who has
followed the history of cycle racing
For man to be so long follower Of
racing and to still retain the speed
and possess the physical endurance
which characterizes Cooper's WORK, is
looked upon as simply marvellous.
Cooper is a representative OF the old
style of racing being prominent fac
tor in the days when a mile used to be
considered very fast could a man do it
in $50. TO be able to equal the speed
of each years new arrivals FOR so many
consecutive years. and be able to start
in the 1901 circuit and lead such very
fast new men as have come into the
field, is all the more surprising In
these days when man is often pushed
to mile in 2:05 or better, it is re-
markable to find Cooper The first at
the finish. Taking It all in all. Cooper
is the most consistent performer on the
National Circuit to-day.

hearted dispositions have often bell
beaten by Mcfarland simply because
he never quits even when the odds are
against him.

who will show well up among the lead
ers at the end of the season. II is
quite surprise to see him with so
many points to his credit this early in

some tine to come into condition. This
season ne seems to have been in a No.

with his wonderfully powerful physique
which in the past has stood him in good

third during the entire season. Certain
1t is that in the last two or three meets

GIANT LOCOMOTIVES
MILWAUKEE, ROAD GETS A NUM-
Der OF NEW
ONES
ARE THE LARGEST NOW IN USE
Already Running Between Milwau-
kee and Chicago and Giving Sat-
Observation-Disclosures Notes
and Comment.

The Milwaukee is the latest rail-
road to receive &C assignment OF large
engines for passenger service, and they
have the distinction of being the largest
ones yet put into service
The road has already received num-
Der of the engines, and mas great many
more in the course of construction. FOE
a number of years past the larger rail-
roads have been getting locomotives
built, and each consignment has been
larger than any previous one, but the
Milwaukee now holds the record for Dig
engines, and it is doubtful if any of the
roads will use any engines that are very
much larger.
1t is an age of big engines, but when
a road puts an engine into service the
driving wheels of which are something
over seven feet in diameter the fact
causes comment, even in railway circles,
and among the officials of roads that
have recently purchased large engines.
A locomotive of this size, carrying $4,000
pounds of coal and 1900 gallons of water,
is something of an affair, even in these
days of the colossal iron horse. The new
engines have a heating surface of 3,215
square feet, and there are $50 f1ues in the
boilers.
The mammoth boilers and fireboxes re-
quire the great capacity of the tender,
the dimensions of the f1rebox being eight
feet eight inches by five feet five inches,
and the steam capacity of this monster
boiler is 200 pounds. The total length of
the moguls is nearly siXty-nine feet, and
the stroke of the cylinders is twenty
eight inches. The compound cylinders
measure twenty-five and fifteen inches,
and taken all around the locomotives are
trumphs of the mechanics art.
One of the new engines is already in
operation between Milwaukee and Chi
cago. and the manner in which it has
made the trip has set the officials of the
road to thinking in regard to decreasing
the time between the two points. On a
recent trip enc of the engines was de-
layed fifteen minutes, but it not only
made Up the time but pulled into the
union station at Chicago two minutes
ahead of schedule. In a short time these
engines will be in operation between the
Twin Cities and Chicago.

SUPERIOR TRAFFIC HEAVY.
Nearly 100000 Tons of Freight
Handled This Year,

Handled This Year.
The announcement that the freight
tonnage of the Sault canals to Dec. l
this year has amounted to 27,S17,811 net
tons has probably impressed every man
that has followed the extraordinary
growth of Lake Superior commerce. 1t
is a growth that is marked by millions
of tons this year The increase for 1901
over 1900 will be about 100000 tons. In
70 years the commerce of Lake Superior
~ has 81 INCREASED nc from 1857 741 tons QSSD to
B,5OOCOO tons December estimated) in
1901. 1t was not until 1892 that this COM
merce passed the 10000, 600 tons mark, and
in 1888 it passed the 10000, 900 tons mark
Another year will surely see it pass 3d.,
10000 tons.
One Of the singular things about this
amazing growth in lake commerce is that
the veSSelmen have for years been look
winter they would view with alarm the
construction of large amount of new
boats to go In commission the following
season, and they would shake their heads
Only few of the big fellows will be
able to do business at profit when the
rates are crowded down by excess of ton
mage next season" or words to that ef-
feet. This has been the winter story for
the past six or seven years, yet each
succeeding season has found the boats
all .proftably employed most of the time,
and as q rule. they were making more
money invested. This winter, in spite
of the large amount of new tonnage in
sight for next year. the vesselmen have
put on more optimistic front. They
have at last come to believe in the in
definite development of lake commerce,
end the fact that the shipyards are full
does not alarm them. Their gloomy
prognostications have been proved
groundless SO often that they have ceas-
ed looking on the dark side of things. At
the present time there Is greater prom
Use for next seasons traffic on Lake SUI
perior than has ever been witnessed in
December.
In this connection it Is interesting to
note that the entire commerce of Lake
around st. Marys falls, six teams per
forming the work.
While there has been gratifying in
crease In all commodities handled, the
Mesaba iron range has contributed to the
growth of Lake Superior commerce more
than any other one factor.

Northwestern Line Extended.

BEAVER DAM, Wis, Dec. 10-A party

starting point being near the pumping
line as indicated by the stakes driven

crosses Lake and Madison streets near
st. Mary's church, then crosses the lower
south of Willow street, in the Second
ward They started from Princeton, and
have finished the survey to this city.
From here they go to Oak Grove or
Juneau, Oconomowoc and Waukesha.
That would give the North Western q

change of Cars Last Year.
j.. w. Midgley, of Chicago, formerly
chairman of the Western Freight asso-
citation is authority for the statement
that the railroad companies of the United
States have lost over 100000 900 during
l50l through the unprogressive methods
and unbusinesslike practices which pre-
vailed in the interchange and handling
of freight rates.
In arriving at his estimate of loss for
the year Mr.. Midgley computes the loss
for 1900 based upon a % per cent def
cheney in performance for the 1865, 531
cars then In the control of the railroad
companies. Provided there had been a
rs per cent greater activity in car move
ment there would have been 273 106 more
cars than would have been needed.
which, at $500 per car, would mean q
total of S136553,0OO invested in needless
cars.
Carrying the calculations further he
gets the following astounding results:
From sidetrack maintenance to
store needless cars ....... $3.50 900
Cost of maintenance of cars. in
GLIDING interest ........ 25945. O70
Cost of sidetracks for storage. 1Sl00,0OO
