 By some of those who were active in Vermont politics while Mir. Smith was. chief executive of the Green Mountain state the St Lawrence was known as 'the Vermont political ma chine," a name which was developed through the frequent use of the loco motive on political errands in state campaigns.
 When Gov. Smith retired from the presidency of the road, the St Law renee became the property of the rail way company and is now used by General Manager Jones and other officials.
 The locomotive was constructed with a view to the peculiar uses to which it might be and is now put, such as conveying the chief officials of the road on their tours of inspec- tion over the line. as well as for haul ing the private cars on trips of busi- ness or pleasure. It was built in Schenectady, 14 years ago. It Is of the eight-wheel type. with the observa- tion car in front and above the boiler. The observation saloon Is handsomely furnished with carpet and rattan chairs.
 The boiler mountings on the engine are nickel plated. and the observation saloon is equipped with electric lights. A speed recorder and other modern appliances are attached. The total weight of the engine is 15s.00o pounds and is capable of developing 1s0 pounds of steam pressure. a suffciency to guarantee high rate of speed for . locomotive of that type.
