STEEL POSTAL
CARS BUILDING
Standard Steel Car Company
Successfully Designs
Them.

Pittsburg, Nov. almost new in
dustry, calling for an enormous tonnage
of steel, is promised to the Pittsburg
district as a result of the successful eff
forts of the Standard Steel Car company
in building all-metal passenger train
equipment.
At the big works of the company at.
Butler, there is today nearly completed
an all-steel postal car built on strictly
master carbuilders' standards in all re-
conditions and Furthermore to give to
the life of the postal clerks and the
mails in the cars greater protection than
has ever been enjoyed before. It is an
axiom in railroad operation that the pos
tai cars are the surest marks for serious
ing or manning Of clerks with the de-
struction by fire and otherwise, Of the
mails, is reported with great frequency
1t IS to overcome these conditions that
the new cars have been designed, and
the railroad postal representatives who
Butler are greatly impressed with the
results. - - '-'.. ~sr~. -..
The plans Of the STANDARD company
do not stop with the building of postal
cars alone; Baggage and express cars,
which are liable to the same rough usage
equipment, are as easily constructed. and
1t is considered but a matter Of detail
and little time until day coaches are
| built all-steel quite as regularly as
freight cars are at present. ~
Safe from Fires and Wrecks.
From the steel freight car, essentially
a Plttsburg product, to the high -speed
Tsteel equipment for passenger trains is
an evolution in which the same men
who are pioneers in steel freightcar
building have led. AS the steel freight
ear has proved itself practically indie
structible by fire and wrecks, so the
steel passenger train equipment is ex-
pected to turn out. +, =.
The steel passenger equipment has
the advantage of the freightcar, hav,
ing preceded it and taught the rail,
road shops the methods adapted to the
handling of steel equipment in case of
minor damage. The need of cars of
this kind has been apparent to
railroad arrangements and the gen.
eral public for long time The con.
struction of the cars now building AT
Butler is such that there is really little
experiment in them. Cars are now be.
ing built there for several Of the lead
ing eastern trunk lines, the Erie and
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
leading in the demand for them. The
first car to be sent out into actual ser.
vice will go to the Erie in less than
two weeks, complete in every particu
lar. It is sixty-three feet long, and in
outside appearance bears a very close
RESEMBLANCE to the regular mail cars
but it is Of all-metal construction and
will stand far more shock and strair
than any wooden body could. g..

of General Kuropatkin: "Kuropatxin

ment he is. convinced II is impracti-

after mature deliberation, but once he
has selected them he places entire con-

ecute them. He will give a patient
hearing to any suggestion made him,
but acts entirely according to his own

pated, the attendance at the meeting o.

work done lately In the county and are
very glad to report that the work has

sible.
The Lewis and Clark bridge has been
completed. and the road on the east
side, connecting the Lewis and Clark
road with the new bridge. has been
completed. But the people OF the
west side have failed to comply with
their agreement. as the committee un-
derstood their agreement was with the
county court.
The county court has instructed the
road master to build the necessary
bridges for summer travel, but as the
dixie is leaking so badly 1t is impossi-
Bile to make even a summer road. This
win be delayed until the necessary re-
pairs are made to the dixie. and we
hope that will not be long.
In regard to the Smiths point road.
the common council Of the city Of
Astoria has passed resolutions to es-
tabllsh the grade on Taylor avenue,
and we understand they intend to make
the improvements this summer. We
are informed that the county court
will take further steps to improve from
the end of Taylor avenue to Youngs
bay bridge. We are also pleased with
the substantial way our street work
is being done in the city OF Astoria at
the present time.

dance. The report of the committee
