its fuel system from coal and wood to

The Northern Pacific Will Use
Extra Heavy Engines.
1t Has Trebled the Size of Its
Locomotives in Eleven Years.
USED FOR FAST RUNS.
Among the Largest Locomotives
in the United States.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Spokane, Aug. 15.-Englishmen en-
ployed on the Northern Pacific, in the
Spokane district, were awed eleven years
ago by the arrival of a series of loeomo-
tlves, weighing seventy-two tons apiece
These engines were the largest ever
sent to the western division, and were
regarded as marvels of the engine build
ers' handicraft.
Last week the Northern Pacific re-
ceived on its Spokane division the first
installment of some two hundred and
two ton engines.
We thought the very limit had been
reached with the seventy-two ton en-
zines, says Master Mechanic Frank B.
Chllds. But now that we have re-
celVed two hundred and two ton ma
ilevlng that weight limit is a known
quantity
The new type of engines is embraced
within two classifications. One is
freight locomotives, each weighing two
hundred and two tons, with the normal
load of twelve tons of coal and eight
thousand to nine thousand gallons of
water. The other is passenger racers
somewhat lighter. These engines are
among the largest in the United States.
Various conditions have combined to
render the use of such locomotives i'm
peratlve, but all center on the wonder
full development of the Pacific north
west. A prime factor is the necessity
of maintaining time in handling freight
and passenger business. The Northern
Pacific is today running on a time card
almost Identical with that in use for
years past. When this card was adopt
I'd the country was filled with long runs,
where engines were enabled to maintain
speed without losing time in stops To-
day there are points where long stops
are required to handle the business of
the road, and the task of making these
stops and maintaining time had become
almost insoluble, when the management
determined upon the purchase of loco
motives that could run faster between
stops and on heavy grades where lighter
machines could not expect to gain time.
The Spokane division of the Northern
Pacific now has 142 engines in active
service, and the new power just arriv-
ing will swell the aggregate to 163.
So many labor saving devices are in
troduced that the lot of the men on the
new engines will be pleasant despite
their enormous size. On the passenger
engines the bulk of oiling is obviated by
the use of hard grease cellars in the
main bearings by which one charge of
the solid grease that looks so much like
common soap will carry the machine
several thousand miles, ~

WILL REQUIRE MORE BRAKES.
Interstate Commerce Commission Asks
to Increase Airbrakes on Freights.

to increase A1FDfakcS on FTeISntS
Washington, Aug. 15.-The inter
state commerce commission is about
to take steps to require all railroads
engaged in interstate commerce to in
crease the minimum percentage of air
brakes used on freight trains to as
great an extent as conditions of equip
ment will permit.
The commission has become inn
pressed with the danger attending the
operation of freight trains on which
an insufficient number of cars are
equipped with airbrakes, operated by
the engineer.
Recent accidents involving loss of
life and property, caused by the
"buckling' of freight trains-the rear
cars crowding forward upon those in
front-when emergency applications
of air have been made on trains par
TALLY airbraked, have demonstrated
that such trains are not actually I'M
der the control of the engineer as re-
quired by law. AS the impact which
causes "buckling" is due to the pres
ence of unbraked cars in the rear of
the train, it appears to the commission
that such accidents may be obviated
by requiring a number of cars in
trains greater than the SO per cent.
now required by law to have their
brakes operated by the engineer. In
crease in the minimum is authorized
by law. 1t is added that the evident
purpose of the law is to ultimately re-

First. the home is a delightful place,
consisting of eleven barracks. These
buildings are 40X250 feet, three stor'

geants and other officers residences
with a guard house for the police
force. consisting Of twenty men. The
last, but not the least building, IL

There is a large power house
which furnishes steam heat for thu

The home also supports a well dc
veloped farm, on which they rails

The home is conducted on a sys
tematic basis, and all the old veteran
who are able to work are given some
thing to do. Out of the entire er
rollment there are between 600 an
700 of the old veterans on duty. Thei
wages run from IS to $40 a month
