western Railroad
 Walter Douglas, resident manager of the Fl Paso and Southwestern. with office at Doug as. returned to Bisbee Tuesday night on special train. En- zine No. 1, Engineer Curtis and Con ductor Silcox took the special out. Engineer Curtis has the distinction of running the oldest engine in actual service in the United States. says the Fl Paso Herald.
 Engine No. 1 was made in 1857. and has been in actual service ever since. The engine has four five and one-half foot drivers with very small boiler and cylinder. The fire box and air cylinder do not clear the road bed more than six inches. The engine has very antiquated appearance as compared with the big mogu's and prairie type engines of today One of the Fl Paso and Southwestern men, while talking of the engine this morn ing said:
 Engine No 1 has one redeeming g feature. and that is that it should get in a head-end collision with one of the big freight engines. it would be able to go under the freight engine without much damage, in fact, like a cat going under a cow"
