New Rolling Stock.

The Chicago Record Herald
saws: Julius Kruttschnitt, director
of maintenance and transportation
for the Hartman lines, has just
placed orders for the construction
OF 100 locomotives for distribution
among the Southern Pacific, the
Union Pacific, the Oregon Short
Line and the Oregon Railroad and
Navagition Company. The order
will necessitate the expenditure OF
between 1850, 900 and s2,0OO,OOO
and is one of the largest OF the
kind ever recorded. All but about
fifteen OF the engines are for freight
service. about ten are switching
engines. and only five are for pas
senger service. 1t is understood
that the Southern Pacific will get
pretty nearly half of the locomo-
tives for general distribution
throughout its lines, including the
Central Pacific and Shasta Route.
All OF the freight locomotives are
to be of the consolidated type, and
are extremely heavy, having 5,OOt
pounds resting upon the drivers
alone. The orders have been
placed in such way that full de-
livery OF the entire lot will be had
in record time, less than twelve
months.

Boise Statesman. Mr.. Burley
usually evades interviews but on
this occasion he did not hesitate to
comment upon the unusual traffic

was careful not to suggest the fact,
it might easily be surmised from
his conversation that the campaign
of education instituted by the
Short Line since its rails were first
laid in Idaho, was beginning 10

wears the Short Line officials, par
ticularly those OF the passenger
department., have preached irrlga-
ton in the east and it is gratifying
to them to know that their efforts
are at last bearing fruit.
Mr.. Burley spoke OF the excep-
tional influx of homeseekers to Ida

route to the Gem state in search OF

Death Of Mrs. c. E. Abbott.

Mrs. Jennie r. tsanborn), wife Of
Charles Il. Abbott, entered into rest at
O'Clock yesterday morning after a painful
illness Of three months duration, which
was borne with the utmost patience and
fortitude.
Her trouble was gall stones and, il ap-
pearing at length that there was no possl-
bic way OF relief through ordinary treat
ment. she decided to take the one chance
of life which was offered, and Friday went
to Dr. }. p. Gtfford's sanitarium, where
an operation was performed at 5 O'Clock
Monday morning by DIR. Gile OF the Mary
Hitchcock hospital, Hanover, n. H., as
sisted by Dr. Clifford, DIR. f. G. Angel and
DIR. A. &. Bailey of this place. No gall
stones were found, but the serious results OF
hepatic collie were visible and the diseased
appendix was removed. The patient, alas,
had not sufficient vitality to rally from
the shock OF the operation and despite the
most skillful efforts TO fan the hickerlng
| flame OF life, sank rapidly to the end. she
4 felt, however, that the utmost had been
done to save her, and 50 expressed herself
during the last hours OF consciousness.

Besides her husband and children she
left a sister. Mrs. Charles Hoyt OF Fort
