This new departure will come as a sur
prise to the western travelling public.
Ten of.the- cars will be seventy foot
chat cars, furnished with sixty-four
twin reclining chairs, seating as many
people. The interior finish is Mexi-
can mahogany; decoration is olive
green. with plain green lines and the
chairs are upholstered in green. The
cars are equipped for lighting both by
Pintsch gas and electricity and are
fitted with electric fans for ventilation
and cooling.
The other ten cars are seventy foot
vestibuled coaches. with seating capac-
ity for eighty. The seats are uphol-
stored in maroo plush; otherwise
the decorations are the same as in
the chair cars. All the cars have very
large double plate glass windows and
are equipped with Pullman standard
six wheel trucks.
One new feature that will be intro
duced in these cars is an improved
draft gear with 125, 900 pounds spring
capacity. This is about six times the
spring capacity Of the ordinary pas
senger coach. On heavy trains pulled
by giant locomotives. this increased
capacity of the draft gear prevents dis
agreeable jars in starting and stopping
Of trains.
Over 1000 Freight Cars.
An order is also. in for over 1000
freight cars Of various kinds, including
$500 refrigerator cars.
1900 box cars.
500 furniture cars.
AIS coal flats.
$50 special design dump cars.
$50 convertible coal and ballast cars.

The new equipment, which is to be
added to from time to time, places the
Rock Island in the front rank among
western railroads in the matter of
transportation facilities.

Among the improvements contem-
plated by the Burlington is believed to
be the building of a new line which

will do away with the heavy grade be-
tween Burlington and West Burling-
ton. Surveyors have been busy run
ming proposed lines for several weeks
and completed their work Sunday. One
line which it is thought may be adopt,
ed connects with the main line at Dan
vile which would leave West Burling-
ton and Middletown off Of the main
line. The through trains would then
probably be run by the new line and
the local trains would use the present
route. The West Burlington hill has
been a drawback to the main line of
the Burlington for years and at differ
ent periods attempts have been made
to get a line which would cut out the
hill and reduce the grade. At present
the heavy freight trains require a
double header and at times a pusher
engine.

Milwaukee to the Coast.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
company has incorporated the COM
pany which is to build its much talked
Of extension from Chamberlain across
the Missouri and through Dakota, Wy
oming, Oregon and Washington to Sc
attic. The charter has been issued to
rotary of state of South Dakota at
Pierre, the incorporators being the Of
f1cers and directors of the Milwaukee
road.
The company is to be known as the
White River Valley and Pacific com-
pany, taking the name from the river
course the road will follow, through Da-
kota after leaving Chamberlain. An in
corporation fee was paid on a capitali-
cation Of SIT, 000, 900. 1t is expected
the company will construct the first
section of the road through South Da-
kota to the Wyoming coal fields this
season.
To Prevent Rails Creeping.
By equipping its double track lines
with steel anchors, connecting securely
the center of the rails with the ties, in
order to prevent Creeping" Of the
rails in the direction of passing trains,
the Burlington has solved. it is be-
lieved, a serious difficulty encountered
in the operation and maintenance Of
double track on the St. Joseph divi.
sion, says the News and Press.
For the saving of time and reducing
to a minimum the danger of accidents,
a double-track has been considered an
ideal solution. Now 1t is asserted that
the rails "creep" in the direction the
trains are run.
Superintendent Perkins said:
1--WE are equipping III double track
lines with the steel anchor in order to
prevent creeping of the rails. On sin
gle-track lines this difficulty is not en-.
countered to any great extent, trains
passing over the rails in both direc-
lions. There is a double track on the
Eads bridge at st. Louis which has
been the subject of many speculative
stories. The ends of the rails are cut
off occasionally and II the practice
were continued with the same rail it
would gradually creep from n end
Of the bridge to the other"
