Powerful Express Locomotives.

4
A truly enormous express locomo-
tive represents the latest effort Of
one Of our leading railroads to keep
pace with the ever growing demands
of its express passenger service
This company has just received the
new locomotive from the shops and
placed It in trial service. placed II
placed It in trial in the hope that II
will prove equal to the task Of hand
ling in one train passenger trains
which otherwise must be run In
two sections several minutes apart
or else handled by "double-head-
ing;" that is, coupling up two loco
ing heavy grades. are capable of sue
|cessfully handling trains made up OF
motives at the head of a train.
The most powerful standard ex-
press engines at present in service
are themselves heavy and powerful
machines, with cylinders twenty-five
inches in diameter by twenty-six
inches stroke, which. on divisions
heavy grades. are capable OF success
fully handling trains made up OF
eight Pullman cars. But the pas
senger traffic has increased so rapid
ly that ten or twelye-car trains are
not unusual. The capacity of the
Atlantic type. with four-coupled
drivers. could not be increased suffi-
ciently TO meet the demands with
out adding considerably to the |
weight on the drivers. To gain the |
required capacity, therefore, 1t was
found necessary TO add another pair |
OF drivers and adopt what is known
as the Pacific type of locomotive, in
which the total necessary adhesive
weight was realized without exceed
ing a load of 10000 pounds on any
one pair of drivers.
The dimensions of the new loco
motive greatly exceed anything
hitherto built, or that would have
been considered possible few years
ago. We all remember the great in
terest which engine 999, built
especially for hauling the Empire
State express of the New York Cen
trail Railroad, excited when she was
exhibited az the Chicago Worlds }
fair. Yet today II would take two of
such engines coupled together to do
.he work that can be performed by
the new Pennsylvania engine; for
he latter locomotive, with water in
rs boiler and in running condition,
Weighs lS4.6 tons; its tender, when h
oaded with eleven tons of coal and
seven tons OF water, weighs seventy Ii
ons' making a total for the engine ,
md tender of 2O4.6 tons.
In order that the great power of II
he locomotive might be available at Is
airly high speed, the drivers were In
made eighty Inches in diameter. In
Which is the same as that of the IN
Atlantic type. The cylinders are Ih
Wenty-four inches in diameter by Is
wenty-six inches stroke. and the Ii
.is'on valves, which are operated by In
ne Walsehaert gear, are themselves I
ixteen inches in diameter. The 10
awe gear, which has been carefully In
esisned with a view to bringing its Ii
Iorking parts into one plane, is pro- ID
ided with a special supporting ltl
rame outside OF the link. la

Methods of Promoting Export Trade.

Methods of Promoting Export Trade.
An important advantage that
European nations have in advancing
their foreign commerce is that they
have large colonies of their citizens
iu other countries, especially In
every important commercial or in
ldustrial center. In the city of
Lyons, for example, there are several
thousand Germans, Italians, Swiss
and English, among them many
prominent business men. They i'm
port, sell and consume the products
of their respective countries. They
mingle daily with the business
classes of Lyons, are constantly in
touch with their own countrymen,
and are always on the lookout for
an opening for placing the products
of their own country.
Regarding the United States the
situation is exactly the reverse. With
the exception of the American den-
tist, there is not one American in
business here, although It is a city
which, with its near suburbs, has
population of nearly 100000. We
see the word American" In large
letters over many stores, but there
Is nothing American within. Before
one large business house, very CEN
trally located, is the imposing sign,
American bazaar" but there is for
sale only a few remnants picked up
in the, silk factories around Lyons.
Many shoe stores in this city display
a sign, American shoes" or "Ameri-
can form" but so far as can learn
all the goods sold are manufactured
ia France. At the request of a
French shoe dealer who wanted -
buy American shoes, l wrote to an
American house and was informed |
that the subject had been thoroughly |
canvassed and that considering the |
high French duty II was deemed not |
worth while to undertake to sell |
goods In France.
A few years ago the representative
of an American manufacturer OF |
saws presented his goods to the deal
ers In Lyons. They were enthusias-
tic in their praise OF the goods and
astonished at the low prices. The
agent who exhibited them told me
that he believed he would find a
good market in Lyons. He went to
Paris TO report TO his principal, who
had been investigating the customs
duties, but II was concluded that
owing to the high duties and the
meager profits that would remain II
would not pay to go any further In
the business.

been investing money In manu-
establishments in foreign

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION

Toilers.

Governor johnson Pays Tribute to the
Toilers.
st. Paul, Aug. Governor John
son has issued a proclamation that
next Monday will be Labor day, state
holiday. He also says:
monday, Sept. 2, is Labor day, one
Of the holidays set apart by national
and state law for general observance.
No holiday is more typically American
and none is more calculated to bring
our people to a serious realization of
the rights and duties and privileges
Of the american citizen. Upon the
man in the shop, In the factory and
on the farm depends for veal or for
woe the entire structure Of our civil:
cation and it is in the degree that that
man secures his rights and as. he per-
forms the duties which fall to his lot
that progress is made along the lines
that inure to our country's greatness
and it's material and moral welfare.
Realizing that the nation possesses
no better nor worth1er citizen than
the man who earns his daily bread by
the sweat Of his brow it is eminently
fitting that on this occasion we should
lay aside our accustomed employ
ments to join in fitting and proper
celebration" =

ASK DAMAGES FOR WOUNDS
Strikers VIII Sue Steel Trust and St.
Louis County. .-

Louis County. .:.- b.
Hibbing, Mimi, Aug. 30.-Suits for
damages aggregating 100000 will be
Instituted against the steel trust and
st. Louis county by striking miners
who have been shot or imprisoned by
special deputy sherihfs.
Armed guards still patrol all trust
property and despite reports to the
contrary the strikers say they are
making gains. Two men were shot
this week by deputy sheriffs.
Within a week twenty strikers have
been arrested charged with rioting,
but the charges could not be sustained
In the local municipal court.
About 1000 men have been brought
here by the steel trust to operate the
mines. To balance this the Western
Federation has sent $50 union miners
to other fields. The open pit mines
are operating with greatly reduced
forces, as are the stripping contract
ors. The underground mines, save
those of the Independent companies,
are virtually idle.
Ten thousand strikers are still be-
Ing cared for through the unions re-
lief fund. Another call for aid was
sent out last week and already more
than $4,000 has been the response.
Vice President Mahoney of the West
ern Federation has returned to Den
yer and the management of the strike
has been left in the hands of local
parties.

WILL GATHER CENSUS OF
DEER NOW IN MINNESOTA
Carlos Avery, Executive Agent of Game
and Fish Commission Will Obtain
the Data.

St. Paul, Aug. 3O.-The state
game and fish commission, through
Carlos Avery, it's executive agent,
will endeavor to obtain data as
accurate as possible relative to the
number of deer in Northern Mime
sofa, and the localities where the
deer are most prevalent.
To this end, Mr.. Avery is having
blanks prepared which he intends to
send to all deputy wardens and post
masters throughout the northern
part of the state. The blanks will
ask for an estimate of the number of
deer and big game in each respective
vicinity, and descriptions of the dis
tricts where the game is most numer-
Gus and information about the char
acter of the country.
This will be the first information
at all authentic relative to big game
in Minnesota" said MI. Avery today.
All hunters in general way know
of so-called haunts of deer, but no
one is in possession of any authentic,
collective information. This will not
only be very valuable data for use in
protecting game, but will be informa-
ton hunters will be very glad to find
on file.
Personally, I am of the opinion
that deer are materially increasing in
Minnesota, and have been for several
years past. The professional poacher
and hunter for lumber camps is prac-
tically thing of the past. Public
sentiment in the north used to pro-
tect such men. 1t doesn't any more.
There is some deer hunting done out
of season by settlers who use the
meat for their own consumption. Sen
tlment still protect those men in jury
trials, but | think there is a continual
change for the better going on and
that before many years Minnesota
will become famous for it's abundance
of deer, moose, and caribou.

RUNYAh TELLS STORY
Defaulting Teller Testifies in Casa
Against Accomplish.
STICKS TO ORIGINAL TALE
Only Knew the Woman Two Weeks
and Had Been in Her Company Less
Than Twelve Hours Altogether
When He Gave Her $4,000.


New York, Aug. 9O.-Chester B.
Runyan, the defaulting teller of the
Windsor Trust company, had known
Laura M. Carter only two weeks and
had been in her company less than
twelve hours altogether when he gave
her $4,000, according to his testimony
at the trial of Mrs. Carter during the
day. Mrs: Carter is charged with hav-
Ing seceived money which she knew
to have been stolen. Runyan, the de-
faulter, was the principal witness
against her. Under cross-examination
Runyan stuck closely to- the story
brought out in direct examination.
When he finally decided to steal the
money he intended to take enough to
live on for two or three months. He
had no thought Of the future beyond
that time. When he left the bank
with the suit case stuffed with bank
notes he had no idea how much money
1t contained. The packages of bills
had been picked up at random and
thrown into the suit case. The first
time he knew the exact amount of his
defalcation was when he counted the
money In the presence of Mrs. Carter
In the fiat which she had engaged as
a refuge for him.
