COLD DEADENS FIRES:
LOCOMOTIVES LOSE TIME

The morning trains on the Rock
Island had another bad spell this
morning. The fast mail train was
one and half hours late when she
arrived at the depot. 1t seems that
the fiues Of the engine used on this
run leak when the weather is cold,
thus deadening the fires, which rem
ders it impossible to carry enough
steam to make the schedule time. The
engine on this morning froze up at
Green River and it was necessary to
make a change before the train was
brought on to Rock Island. Nos. II
and 20 were behind time also. the for
mer being three hours and the latter
two hours late. They were suffering
from the same trouble as the mail
train.

EQUALS LAST YEAR
Record of Railway Construction
in the United States for
1903.
5,79s.25 MILES OF TRACK LAID
Rock Island Leads the Companies
With Total of 647
Miles.

According to the Railway Age, the
total railway mileage Of the United
States Jan. 1, 1904, will be 200, $50
miles, the present year having added
5,723.45 miles. This mileage is cGnsid-
erably greater than that shown by
Poor's Manual, and probably is nearer
correct. as it takes into account all of
the new track laid up to the last days
of the year.
Compared with 1902, the present
year is about on a parity in matter of
railway construction. The construc-
ton reported was done on $50 lines
and in 80 states and territories, in
GLIDING Alaska Early in the year it
was shown that there were $500 miles
of railroad under construction, but
labor troubles and financial fiurries
caused some of the work to be ahan-
doned. y large proportion of the de-
Iayed improvements, however, were
of the kind calling for additional bond
issues.
The ST. Louis d San Francisco has
built $50 miles of new line in Missouri
Arkansas. Texas, Illinois. Oklahoma.
and Indian Territory, while the Rock
Island System. which now controls
the Frisco. has built 1877 miles in Mis-
souri,, Texas, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory. making total of CAT miles
which should be credited to the Rock
