RAILROAD COMMISSION
Orders a New Depot Built at New
Augusta, on Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City r. R.

The railroad commission at it's
recent session ordered the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City railroad to
stop all passenger trains at Augusta
Depot New Augusta on and after
March 20. Also to build a depot to
accommodate the large passenger and
freight service there in sixty days.
This will be good news to the people
of Perry county and especially Hat
tiesburg citizens who have business at
the old town of Augusta where the
courthouse now is. 1t is now believed
that the courthouse will soon go up
at the new town since Judge Deavours
is expected here Friday to hear the
injunction restraining the board of
supervisors from putting in the new
courthouse and it is believed the mat
ter will be settled and the people of
the first district will be best served by
having the courthouse so near to the
old town and convenient to the new
steel bridge on Leaf river.

NEW UNION PACIFIC SHOPS
Detailed Description Of the Plant Now
Being Constructed.
MAMMOTH HIVE OF INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
Huge Buildings to he Filled with
the Latest Machinery and Sur
ounde by y Beautiful
Park and Grounds.

When the Union Paeihc's new omaha
shops, with their twenty-four different de-
~partments and numerous structures, are
completed, and President Burt gets all the
spare ground, including his forty-acre farm
which adjoins the shop site on the north
east, transformed into a series of beautiful
parks-as he says he is going TO for the
ediieation OF the employes-it will seem
that Omaha has extended its limits to in
eiude another attractive suburban town.
Already the largest and most important
buildings are up and In use. The area COW
eVered by the shops Is so wide. the build
ings so large, the number OF men required
10 operate them so great and the spirit of
activity will be 80 intense, that It really
will seem like a new village has suddenly
aprang w. when this mammoth plant is
complete and In full operation.
No one appears TO know Just when that
will be, President Burt has said spring
will see the completion OF all the structures,
but he does not pretend to say when his
subsidiary enterprises will reach consum-
nation. II is his intention 10 have the
space not used for other purposes between
the buildings. laid out In plots and deco
rated by landscape gardeners. so as to give
IN inviting and homelike appearance to the
scene. Then the plan is 10 pillow up all that
large tract lying between the shops and
the Missouri river on the northeast and
transform il into one large. beautiful park
that Will become the pride OF all the shop
men, but not the shopmen only-all Omaha.
The tract is fertile bottom soil and II
properly drained. doubtless would meet all
President Burt's expectations.
The shops. when completed, will take
rank with any similar establishment In the
country, and Il is the desire Of President
Burt to make the place unique for its parks.

through long sweep, extra heavy U-bends.
The Holly Loop system drains this header
and all high pressure steam piping in this
plant.
Two Westinghouse compound automatic
engines comprise the engine equipment.
They nave cylinder dimensions 1Sx3Ox16
inches and one engine for the light loads
12x2Ox16. Two-hundred and fifty volt direct
current compound wound engine type of
Westinghouse generators are used. The
two larger generators are Of the 250-kilo-
watt capacity at $50 revolutions a minute,
and the smaller is rated at rs kilowatts at
800 revolutions q minute. The generators
deliver current through paper insulated
lead incased stranded copper cables, run In
conduit beneath the brick floor to a blue
Vermont marble switch board at the side
of the dynamo room. A feature of this
board is the use Of the double pole circuit
breakers instead of switches upon the
power panel.
What the Motors Do.
These twenty-one motors are required
for driving line shafting. fans, exhausters
and old tools; one SO-horse power at SIS
revolutions a minute; eleven 20-horse power
at 600 revolutions a minute. seven 15-horse
power at $50 revolutions, one 10-horse
power at $50 revolutions, one 5-horse power
at $50 revolutions. For the purpose OF
driving individual tools there are twenty
three other motors. This makes a total
throughout the plant, not including the
motors upon the cranes, Of 610-horse power
in motors. Each motor is capable OF de-
v~eloping a power 80 per cent above it's
rated capacity without Injurious heating.
All Of the motors in the entire shops are
OF the Westinghouse make. The laminated
pole pieces. split bearings. which can be
changed without moving the armature from
the field or the plnion from the shaft, and
a thoroughly ventilated srmature without
band wires, the armature coils being held
in place by wedges in slots is the main fca-
ture OF the motors.
A Stromsburg-Carlson central energy
telephone system is being installed through
out the plant, a station being established
at each foremAn's desk and in each de-
partmcnt. Provisions also are made for a
FIRE alarm system
The direct steam system Of heating, with
a modern piping arrangement. is used for
all the smaller buildings The boiler shop,
the tank shop and the main machine shop
are heated by means OF the SturteRHnt
blower system
A great amount Of compressed air is used
throughout ths shops for. special purposes.

chine and erecting shop, has been COM
pleted for some time and is partially
equipped with the new machinery and in
use. Besides this, the power house, store
house, transfer platform, oil house, round
house and pattern shop are finished and
partially or wholly in service. Work on
the other buildings is progressing as rapidly
as possible. The company has endeavored
to use its own forces in this gigantic con-
struction work, believing that 1t would in
sure better and more faithful performance
than to contract with outsiders, II not
afford as great facility in completing the
work.
1t has been necessary in the erection Of
the new buildings, which will occupy the
same site as the old shops, to interfere
with the regular work as little as possible.
Therefore the processes Of demolition and
renewal have been carried on simultane-
ously and the completion of the new shops
retarded as a consequence. Wherever
practicable the old machinery has been
installed in the new shops and herein lies
another source OF delay. Such of the old
equipment as was considered suitable for
transference was kept in use in the old
shops just as long as possible so as not
to consume unnecessary time in changing
it. The large percentage OF new tools in
the equipment of the new shops has, how
ever, enabled the transition to be made
with a minimum OF difheulty.
What Plant Comprises.
The general site of the new shops. as has
been stated, will be that OF the old plant.
The new car shops will be removed a little
further east, toward the river, instead of
occupying their old position near the center
OF the yards. The company owns a large
tract Of land skirting the river, and by
utilizing this with buildings II gives room
for future expansion.
When completed the series of structures
comprising this gigantic plant will be in-
closed within a high board fence sur
mounted with barbed wire. There will
be a narrow entrance and outlet at the
south and on the side toward the center
Of the city. This fence already is partially
built. 1t will surround these structures,
when completed. the entire plant:

rounded by a platform, the outside linen
sions of which are 7Ox224 feet. The walls
are of concrete and are four feet six inches
high. The system Of handling the oils lie
the reverse OF the one generally used. The
oil is forced into the tanks by pumping and
delivered by gravity. Two pumps, one for
Illuminating and the other for lubricating
oil, are used. A storage room is separated
from the tank room by a brick wall, with
a fire door arranged to slide up. A steam
ing tank for cleaning barrels is provided
in an adjoining apartment. Steam is ad-
mitted, loosens the oil in the barrel, which
runs out and floats on the water Of con-
densation in the tank and is sklmmed OF.
All pipes within the house are covered and
incandescent lights are incased as an addi-
tional precaution against IRE.

The storehouse, 5Ox2ss feet, is, like the

Pattern shop.
A two-story building has been erected
for a pattern shop and for pattern storage.
II is 50x200 feet and provides ample facili-
ties for the storage Of all patterns and
all the work to be done in this line. As
in the case Of every building throughout
the plant special efforts have been made
to secure the structure against fire, and
to this end Andreen FIRE proof shutters
have been adopted.
Blacksmith shop and Car Department.
The homes Of the blacksmiths and car
shops are not yet completed. The loca-
ton Of the blacksmith shop Is between the
locomotive and car shops and adjacent to
both since its work will cover both de-
partments. A transfer table, SOx35O feet,

principal buildings devoted to the car de-
partment. A wheel platform will be
erected outside the wheel and truck shop,

Each compressor has a capacity of 1000
cubic feet of free air a minute and weighs
about $1,000 pounds.
The coal chutes for power house supply
consists OF a structure 1924 feet long. APP
preached by an incline on a ~seven-foot
grade, brought to a level through a vertical
curve, of BIZ feet, the base Of the rail
being at a height of IL feet from grade.
The tressle is continued rs feet beyond the
chutes and ends in a bumper peculiar to
the Union Pacific.
Machine and Erecting shop.
The machine and erecting shop is the
largest Of the series of buildings. It is
15Ox40O feet in dimensions, has three tracks
on the erecting side, spaced twenty-three
feet from center to center. At a distance
of thirty-two feet from the inner track is
a material track for serving the heavy
machinery, planers, driving wheel lathes,
etc. The track through the machine shops
will be extended continuously through the
boiler shops.
The floor space of this building is I'M
broken save for the supporting columns
The clear height under the roof trusses is
forty feet. The ends and sides are largely
devoted to windows and one-third OF the
roof is 'Paradim" skylight and the mont
tor roof is practically all skylight and side
windows. The shop ONCE for the general
foreman, and the tool room are located
near the middle of the machine side OF the
building. The distribution Of tools is on
the a%nnunciator system, about forty push
buttons being located in different parts Of
the shops.
The machine tools are grouped in differ
emit classes and operated by an electric
motor with the exception Of a one ten
horse power in the gallery and a fifteen
horse power In the tool room. Current Is
brought from the power house on overhead
feeders.
Ollie shops.
The boiler shops are 15Ox24I feet and are
constructed similar to the machine shops
Space win be given to locomotive carpen-
try, repairs OF tender frames and other
such work, aside from the boiler and huB
work. The distribution Of tools Is much
the same as in the machine shops Several

OBLIGED of the viaduct.

Niaduct and incline .........,....SO feet long
object of the Viaduct.
The viaduct mentioned in this list will
be constructed as a means of entrance to
the plant. 1t will begin at Capitol avenue
has a considerable slope toward the
tracks-and thereto runs at an angle OF about
400 feet. crossing the tracks Of several
railroads, including a part Of those OF the
Union Pacific, which enter the shop grounds.
This viaduct is built as a substitute en-
trance and exit for Ninth street, which eX-
tends down there in an angular direction.
The grade crossings have long ago become
a nuisance and a menace at this point, and
the street has been abandoned by the city.
All these dangers will be obviated. It is
thought, by the viaduct.
One large roof will cover the coach re-
pair. cabinet, freight car repair shops and
the mill, and another will shelter the wheel
and truck, cleaning and plating, coach
paint. upholstering and paint stock rooms.
The round house being built is not to be
a very extensive affair. 1t is put up merely
for the use Of switch engines. The prin-
cipal division round house is at Council
Bluffs.
The foundations for all the columns of
every structure are set on 1S-inch concrete
caps, supported by piles driven TO the bed
rock, generally sixteen feet deep. All the
buildings are Of brick and steel and con-
crete is used literally.
The plant will get its water supply from
the city. It will be conveyed through a
10-inch main running through the length
Of the yard, and connected at each end
through a meter. The pressure will be
about fifteen pounds. As to fire protection
for the new plant It will be the same as
that afforded the old, through the agency
Of the company's own department, supple
mented by the city's force.
Power Plant.
Taking up the departments OF the plant
separately, it may be appropriate to deal
nrst with the power house Six Scotch
marine type boilers, internally fired. with
2oO-horse power each, designed to carry a
