WORLDS BIGGEST ENGINES.
Two on Their Way to California Weigh
Nearly 300 Tons Each.


The two largest locomotives in the
world, intended for the use of the
Southern Pacific in the southwest,
were recently In Chicago making their
leisurely way toward California. The
engines are intended to haul freight
across the mountains. They are prac-
tically twice as large as the ordinary
big freight engine, measuring ninety
two feet, locomotive and tender.
n There are eight drive wheels on the
side, coupled In sets of fours, with a
high pressure drive on the rear four
and a low pressure cylinder action on
those ahead. The big locomotives are
In act two engines which have been
combined and made to work In unison.
The total weight of each locomotive
is 100000 pounds, Of which 100000
pounds rest on the driving wheels.
The tender, which rests on eight
wheels, weighs 10000 pounds, loaded.

tender is approximately 300 tons. The
locomotives burn fuel oil and work at
200 pounds steam pressure. A super
heater Is provided for drying the
steam after passing from the high
pressure cylinders and before 1T enters
the low pressure cylinders. and the
boiler Is provided with a separate
chamber In which the feed water IL

man wrote hat he did not wish his
wife to be a college graduate or a

was it considered essential that she
be pretty or talented. What every

The reception of the proposed Com
mission Plan of government TO be put
before the voters of Roswell will I'M
doubtedly depend much upon the nah
ner in which it is presented to them
by the city council. The Record is
under the impression that the call for
the election SHOULD fully embody the
manner in which the plan will affect
the tax-paying people of Roswell and
give the number and personnel Of the
people who will afterward have charge
of the city. To merely select a com
upon an indefinite plan, would
we believe, meet with but little favor
from the people OF Roswell. Let every
thing be done in h open, and bar the
professional politician.
