A Monster Boat,

The Albatross, the largest boat ever
constructed on an inland water, has
just been launched by the Dubuque
Boat and Boiler Works. This boat is
being built for the Louisiana & Mis-
sissippi Railway company, and will
be used by it in transferring cars
acl oss the Mississippi river between
Vicksburg and The Delta.
The hull of the Albatross is con-
structed entirely of steel. of which
sixty-fi car loads or more than 900
tons, have been used. 1t is 800 feet
long from bow to stern and has a
width of fifty-two feet, without the
guards. With the guards. which are
each eighteen feet and six inches wide
the boat will have total width of
eighty mine feet.
When fully completed the boat will
draw even four feet of water. When
loaded to it's intended capacity it will
draw an additional six inches.
The boat is to be side wheeler and
its motive power will come from four
boilers and two engines, two boilers
and one engine being located ON either
side near the wheel houses. The boil
er will. combined have 1000 horse
power, AMI the engines 1000 horse
power.
Running through the entire length
of the boat will be two railroad
tracks, each capable of containing
eight ordinary freight cars. or sixteen
in all.
The hull is divided into thirty
nine water-tight compartments, to
guard against the sinking of the craft
if it should sustain an inury to any
of its parts.

Gasoline Engines For South America.


Messrs. Schroyer and Moiineio OF
Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic,
South America, arrived in this city
today and are guests of the Hart Parr
Gasoline Engine Go. Mr.. Schroyer
was former resident of the u. s. but
some years ago was attracted to South
America by the splendid business op-
portunities presented. Mr.. Molineio
is native of Argentine. These gen.
tlemen have made this long journey,
covering many thousands of miles by
land and sea to in spect the Hart Parr
Co., and their product with a view
of opening the market in South
America to these engines. Mr.
Molineio is a man of wealth while
Schroyer is practical mechanic.
1t is their purpose, provided the en-
CINE comes up to expectations, and
we have no fear but that it will, to
open a large warehouse in Buenos
Ayres and buy outright portion of
the output of the factory. These
gentlemen will stay several days,
thoroughly posting themselves on the
merits and working of the machine. -

Investigation by the bureau OF
census shows that, in 1902 about one
half of the states of the union had in
heritance tax laws, which yielded to
them an aggregate of a little more

believed By the census officials to have
increased in the present year to fully
81 0, 600. 900 or $l2, 900, 600. In report,
based on the forthcoming report on
Wealth, Debt and Taxation" the
census officials say that sat least a
dozen states are materially assisting
in the support of the state govern
ments from this source of revenue. /"

all have gardens and trees. Even the

have windows on all sides. and IN most
cases the windows are double to withstand
