A Monster Engine.

The largest locomotive engine in the
world passed through Dickinson recently
on its way west. The engine was built
at Pittsburg for Jim Hill for use in the
mountain country of Montana The
Pennsylvania railway could not handle
the engine because of some tunnels and
weak bridges and it was sent back to
New York and west over the New York
Central system. The Great Northern
had some rather weak bridges and the
officials were afraid to send the engine
west over that line. There are some
tunnels through which the engine could
not pass. Arrangements were made to
send it west over the Northern Pacific
and this was done. This locomotive
weighs rs tons. 1t has six drive wheels
on each side and there are two cylinders
on each side of the engine, one, for the
rear drive wheels and another for those
in front. This arrangement gives con-
tinuous power on each side Of the en-.
gine. 1t is stated that this engine will
start 300 loaded cars on level track.

This TRACED of the immortal bard is
promised splendid representation at

night, Nov. 20, by John Griffith and
specially selected company. An inter-
esting Renaissance Of Shakespeare
exists in an old churchA ard at Peters

able on crumbling tombstone the cpl
taph of a"Professor of Churgery," of
1911, or Whereabouts, at the foot of which
is inscribed "One of the Pall-bearers of
William Shakespeare, of Avon," who, it
is evident, emigrated to Virginia in
those early days and accounted it an
honor to be recorded after death as one
of the great authors pall-bearers, whose
works are today too seldom represented.

were ridiculing the idea of buying land at

years ago and has been very successful

Mr.. Huidekoper's home ranch is not

area of land well suited to the grazing
of cattle. and the settlers are not looking
for this kind of land at present.
