AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Proud Record Made by Engines Of
Our Manufacture.

Nothing perhaps better illustrates
the difference between British and
American business methods in the
present year of grace than the salts
faction of the Great Northern Rail
way company of England that one of
their locomotives. built in 1870, has
completed 100000 miles. This is a
record, says the company, a thing to
be proud of, because it shows that
our engines are made to last and are
not shOddy." But the American view
is quite different This record, says
the superintendent of motive power
of one of our great trunk lines, lis far
beyond anything We can show. and, |
may add is ahead of anything we
intend shall be shown by any Of our
engines. If we kept an engine in ser
vice 80 years we should think we
were neglectlng our duty to the public.
An engine 80 years old is an antequat-
ed machine. We expect to get as much
work as possible out of our locomo-
tives, knowing that when they are
worn out progress will have produced
so many improvements that it would
be no economy to continue the older
engine in service. even if it could be
rebuila In England an engine ms
petted, and it's life prolonged as long
as possible"
Herein explains in a sentence why
England no less than all the rest of
the world is suffering from the stress
of American competition. The best
is none too good for us. whether it
be in locomotives or the machinery
to make matches-and the best is the
cheapest in the end. The English are
satisfied with a locomotive 30 years
old-a locomotive which has been
patched and tinkered and ''pettei"-
which is uneconomical because it
wastes fuel and is lacking in power.
Thirty years ago it was, perhaps. the
best machine of it's class, but machin-
| cry. unlike wine. does not improve
with age. The American railway man.
ager knows that it is cheaper to build
than to patch: that after an engine
has lived it's life it is economy to send
it to the scrap heap and buy a newer,
better. and more powerful machine.
| which consumes less fuel and requires
less repairs. The Englishman may
know that his engine is not up to
date, and growls at the bad service
of his railway company. and. having
growled. ana probably written to the
Times about it. he puts up with all
the shortcomings. The American does
something more than growl: he de-
mands the highest perfection. and
unless it is furnished to him he pa
tronizes rival. Competition is the
United States is so keen that to hold
the trade the best service and latest
improvements are given to the public,
and the British public is getting the
benefit of American methods. The

GOOD CROPS

According to Major w. H. Smcad,
the Flathead rescrvatlon. OF which
he is agent. is prosperous this year.
With yearly increases in methods of
civilization on the reservation, the
major is of the opinion that the pres
ent year will show more bonntiful
returns than ever before. I'VE are in
the midst of harvest and threshing,"
said Major Smead. From fields
where work is completed come re
ports of returns that are cXcee iingly
gratifying Wet weather during the
last few days has interfcrcd with
the gathering OF a big crop, but with
no misfortune the reservation will
produce agricultural products this
year that would be difficult of belief
to many who are not familiar with the
reservation"

WITH A DIAMOND DRILL.
Extensive Explorations to Be Made
in West Fisher.


The people of Libby and the West
Fisher country are mach interested
in the reports of George e. Helmer
and j. H. White of Boulder. Colo.
who have been on an extended tour of
the West Fisher mining district. The
object of their trip was to determine
the advisability Of operating in that
district with diamond drill. They
are much pleased with conditions
there and state that it is their in
tentiOn to return next year an do a
large amount of work with diamond
drill and that they are confident from
the nature of the ore veins that their
efforts will be crowned with sue
cess.
1t is the general idea that the veins
in that district are what is known as
blankets, but such is not the case
the majority of them dipping from
four to eight degrees and lie one or
Top of another at various distances
The work done by these gentlemen
| will be entirely different from any
that has yet been done there and the
| results will be watched with deep in

FiREM EN- QUIT.
New Engines of the Montana Division
Of the Northern Pacific Are
Too Much for Them,

100 Much for Them.
The Northern Pacific is having trou-
Bile with it's new freight locomotives
of the Y2 and Y-3 classes, of which
nearly all the 26 ordered last year
have been sent to the mountain ii-
visions. The big machines called bat
tleships" by the enginemen, the fire
men say, are too large for one man to
handle.
Eight of the best fremen under Mas
ter Mechanic Barnes of Missoula,
have already left the road, and more
men. who have grown up in the Nor
thern Pacific, threaten to take the
same action on the ground that they
are unable to handle the engines.
Engineers claim that the big locomo-
tives cannot be kept hot" A general
demand for two firemen for each To-
connective is made.
The new engines are the heaviest in
service in the west. They weigh in
working order 1893 900 pounds for the
Y-2 class and 100000 pounds for the
Y-3 class. They have $3.50 square feet
Of crate service and should carry a
working steam pressure of 225 pounds
which is from 25 to IS pounds greater
than the heaviest engines in common
use in the middle west. The engines
require constant supply of coal, and
the firemen assert that even with the
greatest exertion they cannot keep
up steam without help. On several
recent runs engineers have been com
PEELED to assist exhausted firemen.
1t is probable that the Northern Pa
cific, after obtaining data regarding
the work the firemen are compelled tC
do on the new engines. will grant the
additional help. working the engines
by reliefS on severe runs.

CUT OFF
IN The LEAD
The Talked Of New Survey
May Not Be Used
TWENTY-TtIREE MILES
Shorter and Better Grades. Kalispell Not
Injured by Talk Of Railroad
Being Moved.
TWENTY-THREE MILES

After all the railroad talk that was
current here this summer about Kal
ispell being left in the cold by the re-
mOval of the main line of the Great
Northern railway, nothing yet has
been done to encourage that belief
On the contrary there are grounds
for the highest hope that the much
talked of Libby cut off will be built
and that the route recently surveyel
from the mouth of the canyon to the
Tobacco river will not be used
There is also talk that the route will
be surveyed north from Kaispell
along the saltwater rive rto connect
with tnhe Crows Nest Pass railway
and thus furnish a ready outlet for
the coal both to the east and west and
at the same time do away with the
heavy grades on the old line.
At the present time the running
time of No. from jennings to Kal
ispell, distance Of 81 miles. is foul
hours. or a fraction over 20 miles an
hour, which indicates the grades en-
countercd While the new route is
longer it is claimed that better time
can be made AMI heavier trains haul
ed.
The people of Kalispell AMI es-
pecially those who have money in
vested here have not seriously be
lieved the many stories about III,
railroad being changed to the detri
ment of this city and while the talk
NAV have kept some people from in
vesting in real estate. building has
been going on at a rapid rate and the
city has suffered little from the I'll
mors. But on the contrary the year
has been a most prosperous one fol
Kalispcll and the city has advanced
steadily.
