stookers and Feeders.

Country buyers have been indiffer-

their reach. Most prospective buyers
are content to remain inactive until
more light cattle are available and are
cheaper The general impression is
that $3.50 feeders are too lofty for an
investment with any hope of getting
OUT even. Most buyers from the coun-
try kick against paying more than So
for feeders and the result is that buy
ers are not able to get many. for the
killers are willing to give more for
slaughter Demand has been so light
during past week that even in the face
OF exceptionally small receipts the mar
ket has been extremely duh. with sales
largely 10@15c lower, and some steers
showing 25c decline. Lately it has
been hard to sell feeding cattle unless
very choice and even the stockers have
failed to meet with the usual demand.
Local buyers have been Indifferent for

get rid OF what they bought. Ii the

probabilities are that the demand from
the country Will be revived. Receipts

In Infancy of Railroads.

The first locomotive to be placed on
American rails was the Stourbridge
Lion. 1t had been constructed in Eng
land and made its initial trip on Au-
gust 8, 1929, with Horatio Allen at the
throttle. Allen was the engineer Of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany and had supervised the construc-
ton of this engine.
The track was 16 miles long and
was built of wooden rails covered
with strap iron. When the iron straps
worked loose, as they frequently did,
they would fly up and punch holes in
the floors of the cars and sometimes
would perforate . few passengers
The first locomotive built in this
country was completed in 1880 and
was used to transport passengers over
the Baltimore & Ohio from Baltimore
to Ellicotts Mills at a rate of speed
sometimes reaching Is miles an hour.
The name of the engine was the Tom
Thumb. and it was designed by Peter
Cooper the philanthropist.

How He Proved II.

In the good old days when speed in
railroading was not quite SO strenu-
ously insisted on as it is at present.
Jones and Smith, as we will designate
them. were, strange to relate. riding
on the accommodation train" Of q
certain southern railroad and discus
sing Biblical questions at the same
time.
Cow after COW had been overtaken
and passed, and the train was still
wheeling and rafting along at the
giddy speed Of ten miles an hour over
the two rust streaks that answered
the purpose Of rails. when Smith spoke
up andysaid:
Jones' you say ion can prove by
the scriptures that the Lord made
everything. Do you imagine he had
anything TO do with making this slow
coach ROAD that we are riding on?'

had watched from the shelter of his
own vine the long freight trains and
the flying passenger trains crossing
the bridge. For 20 years the mid
night express woke him, and when she
rushed past his cottage he knew that
the bridge was there, and that the
train had crossed in safety.
But when the new engineer came in
with gang of workmen to replace the
old bridge with modern twin-trapped
steel structure, the old man was I'M
able to understand why they should
seek to destroy his masterpiece" At
first he refused to believe it. He re-
called that the company had hard
work raising the money to build this
bridge 20 years ago. He pointed out
to the engineer that the bridge was as
good as new, the masonry and the
material employed grew stronger and
firmer, hardened and toughened by the
touch of time.
"Ah, yes" said the young engineer,
sit is indeed a splendid piece of work,
and if you could have foreseen the
vast volume of traffic that would have
Travelled this way. if you could have
anticipated the modern mogul with it's
so loads of 0.00O-pound-cars, if you
had but dreamed of the great express
engines with their crushing hammer
blow-you might have built bridge
that would have stood for a century
instead of 20 years"
This story states in the form of fic-
ton most interesting fact-the fact
that Canada is growing, and that the
Grand Trunk railway system is keep
ing step. In the short space of sim
gle decade the line had developed
from fourth-rats single-track rail-
road, to one of the very best double
track lines on the American continent,
with one Of the longest continuous
stretches of double track under one
general manager in the world.
The officers of the line have spent
much time and some money to make
the Grand Trunk attractive to railway
employees of every class, especially to
trainmen, shopmen and those who are
not officials. They have provided night
schools in connection with the me-
chanical department for the benefit
of apprentices, and even scholarships
in McGill college for limited number
who show interest and enthusiasm in
their work All this tends to the bet
terment of the service.

Saved Lives Of Passengers.

One hundred lives hung in the bal
ance for the fraction of a second the
other night while Engine Driver Bald
win of the Santa Fee railroad hesitated
as to whether he should follow his
fireman's example and jump or stick
by his engine and pilot it over the fast
settling bridge at Arroyo seco, Cal.
The arroyo was a raging torrent from
the heavy storm and the water cut un-
der the concrete piling of the bridge
and 1t began to sag. Then came the
train of five cars slipping down grade
from Pasadena. Engine Driver Bald
win saw the danger. but as he was
unable to stop the train before it was
on the bridge he opened the throttle
and let the engine run across. Had he
hit the bridge at high speed cars and
passengers would have gone into the
roaring water.
