ROOSEVELT'S OLD BUGGY.
Will be Exhibited at the Lewis and
Clark Fair.

Richard Johnson of Minot, N. D.,
owns buggy which was used by
Theodore Roosevelt on his Maltese
Cross ranch in North Dakota nearly
twenty-five years ago. The buggy had
been in use for fifteen years prior to
the time young Mr.. Roosevelt used it.
Mr.. Johnson will send the old vehicle
to the Lewis and Clark exposition as
an exhibit. Many of the trappings
used by Roosevelt during his two years
sojourn in Dakota have been preserved
by his admirers. One of these relics is
a dinky little old straw hat which looks
very funny now, but it was the New
York city style when the young man
wore it out to Dakota in 1881. Efforts
are being made to send this hat and
other Roosevelt relics from North Da-
kota to the exposition.

is reported on high authority that
plans are now complete for railroad

La, north of and parallel with the
Southern Pacific. In Louisiana it will

fic, and over this route enter New Or
leans. In Texas the new line will pen

leaf pine, touch the principal oil fields
of the two states and cut through a
rich rice section.

UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM EXPERT
MENTING WITH NEW SCHEME
IN TRANSPORTATION.
Use Them Extensively In Auxiliary
Service On Branch Lines
of Hartman System.

Gasoline as a motive power for the
o. r. & N. company is one Of the pos
sibilities in the near future, and IT
would not be surprising to see several
motor cars supplied with gasoline
power running over the companys
line in this section of the country.
The tests of the Union Pacific's new
gasoline motor car appear to be high
ly satisfactory. 1t is asserted "a
number of the cars will be constructed
at once under the direction of Super
intendent of Motive Power McKeen in
the Omaha shops of the Union Pacl-
fic, which has decided to use them
extensively on branch lines ali over
the Hartman system. The regular
cars will be SO feet long, will seat So
passengers and nave room for baggage.
Engines will be placed in the cars
with sufficient power to haul one or
two trailers whenever necessary. 1t is
said that the cars can be operated at
an expense of about one-sixth that OF
the ordinary coaches"
1t is said the greatest surprise re-
sulting from the actual road test is
the fact that the car easily maintains
it's estimated speed on long distance
runs. On the initial trip from Omaha
to Grand Island, distance of about
200 miles and an ascending grade OF
1000 feet, where the overland limited
is scheduled to cover only S71A miles
an hour, the gasoline car made speed
of 40 miles an hour for the entire run,
and could have done better. 1t was
geared to a maximum speed of 40
miles, making a faster run impracti-
cable.
1t is stated that one of these cars is
now on the way from the east and will
reach Pendleton in a few days
Whether the car is to be taken on to
Portland for use there or to be sent to
Spokane to compete with some of the
interurban electric lines is a question
that railroad men will not answer.
