prepared for the installation during the
present season, and District Foreman

ming of the work. The plant will have
a capacity of 600 tons. 1t is one of
four or five to be erected on the Wyo-
ming division.
Occupies Little Space.
The plant will occupy much less
space than the present chutes and be
much more pleasing to the eye. 1t will
consist Of an immense pit, floored and
walled with cement, for holding q
large mount of coal. The coal will
be dumped into the pit from the gon-
dola cars now used for hauling coal
and will be conveyed to four bins high
up for the accommodation of the ten.
ders of the monster engines. The coal
will not be handled by hand at all, the
power coming from a gasoline engine.
To Care for cinders Also.
In addition to the handling Of the
coal supply needed by the locomotives
here, the plant will dispose of the Gin
ders cleaned from the fireboxes in the
same way. Four engines a be clean
ed at once and the cindets will fall
into a pit and be conveyed by endless
chains to an elevation and then poured
into cars and taken to the dumping
places. This will greatly facilitate the
work of the round house crowd here,
the cinders being now handled by
hand.
Sand Pits to Be Connected.
The sand pits will be connected with
the hosting apparatus, sand being
blown into the sand boxes through
pipes, much like a water tank, the
plant permitting of the filling of the
sand boxes Of W. engines at the same
time. The sand will be dried and

Rai!roading in the Nome section of Alaska is going to have boom .e&t season.

 Launch Happy HooIigan, one of tho most famous of the small boats on the Coast, is now at the Pioneer boat house at Seattle. The launch is noted for the journey she made from Whiiehorse to Nome. She was built by Blake < Simons, of Tacoma, and fitted up on palatial style. About two years ago she was taken to Alaska on one of the steamships and shipped from Skagway over the White Pass to Whitehorse. There she was put into the Yukon and lowed a barge loaded with troupe of music hall signers and others from that point to Fort Yukon, where the enter prize ended in free-for-all fight. On the long trip to that point many e%- citing events occurred, principally fights, shooting scrapes and cuttings. From Fort Yukon she was taken down the river to St. Michael and then made the trip across to Nome. She was finally shipped back to Seattle in the battered and sorrowful- looking con- dition in which she is at present. She was at one time the most famous boat in the North.
