VALUE OF THE
HUNTER s LICENSE
Elimination OF Reckless Boy Shooters
Strong Point in Favor Of Latest
Iowa Law.

The new shooters license law is
proving beneficial in more ways than
one, according to the statements of
the sportsmen and farmers. The stat
ute has been in force long enough to
be fairly well tested and there has
been but little objection to it. A fall
ing off In the number Of reckless shoot
ers is marked, and the small boys who
in former years terrorized the farm
ers by their reckless handling of fire
arms are evidently remaining at home
this season.
There is more or less confusion
about the provisions of the state Ii
cense law. While it is generally known
that a land owner is not required to
secure license to shoot upon his own
property, it is not thoroughly under
stood that the owner is not permit
ted to invite friend to hunt upon his
land without license.
The law distinctly prohibits a per-
son from shooting over anther man s
land unless by invitation, and then
only when the hunter has gone through
the Formally Of paying the $1.00 re-
quired for licenes. The demand for
licenses continues and before every
shooter in the county secures one. it
lit believed that the total number is
sued will approach two thousand.

IMPROVEMENTS AT

improvements are going on at St.

best equipped places for the caring of
the sick in this part of the country.
At the present time additions are be-

the st. Joseph's.
There have always been tive operat-
ing rooms in this institution aid but
one of these has had tile floor.
With the increased amount of work
being done 1t has become necessary to
have both of the rooms fitted out so
that the most delicate cases could be
handled and for this reason a tile
floor and latest type of sterilizing
apparatus is being installed in the
room which formerly had the cement
floor. The other room Is also being

A Railroad Mammoth.

A Railroad Mammoth.
New Santa Fe locomotive Weighing
100000 pounds just delivered. Intend
ed for fast passenger trains Others
to follow.
The largest, heaviest and most
powerful passenger engine ever built
has just been completed, at the Bald
win locomotive works In Philadelphia,
and delivered to the Santa Fe, for use
In hauling the California Limited and
other fast passenger trains between
Seligman, Arizona, and Needles, Cal
ifornia.
This monster of the railroad world
is what is known as a Mallet articu-
lated compound, being in reality two
engines in one. It is 105 feet long, ID
feet 6 inches high and weighs GOO, 900
pounds. Crude petroleum is used as
fuel, and 1t is estimated that the A.
900 gallons Of oil, and 1900 gallons
of water, which the tanks will hold,
will carry train 100 miles without a
stop, even on the mountain grades Of
western Arizona.
The engine is designed for speed
as well as to develop great power.
The five pairs OF driving wheels, each
rs inches in diameter are worked in
two sets. The rear three pair. are
driven by high pressure cylinders, and
the two forward pairs by low pressure
cylinders.
An engine as long as this leviathan
built along ordinary lines with rigid
frame, would have difficulty in nego-
tiating even ordinary curves. To
overcome this most serious objection,
the designer has built the frame of
these monsters in two parts SO arrang-
ed that it will give on the curves. In
the official tests this engine took a
sixteen degree curve as easily as a
switch engine and without reduction
of speed.
The feed water pipes are equipped
with heater that raises the tempera-
ture of the water to above boiling be-
fore admitted to the boiler. After
the steam has been generated to a
register of about 200 pounds to the
square inch it is sent through super
heater before passing to the high
pressure cylinders. After performing
this duty, the steam goes into re-
heater for reiuvenation before re-
entering the low pressure cylinders,
from where it exhausts through the
stack.
This engine is, the first one for pas
sengers service, built on Mallet's de-
sign, and the first to combine feed
