OF LARGEST
INES IN THE WORLD

San : SEQ, July 20.-At an ex-
pense 1000, the Southern Pa

Mallet-.---round locomotives, to be
used in hauling freight trains over the
Sierra Nevada mountains between
Sacramento and Truckee. Two of
similar type are now in use, and have
proven so successful that more have
been ordered. They are the largest
engines in the world, and each one
can do the work of any other two
freight engines ever constructed.
The engine is an oil-burner and
weighs 100000 pounds, including the
tender, which carries 5000 gallons of
water and 2250 gallons of oil. The
wheel base is SS feet inches; length
over all, SO feet 1-2 inches; driving
wheel base is 20 feet 4 inches; graf
ed aera, GA feet; heating surface,
6S9S square feet; firebox width, 1926
inches, and length, 126 inches; boiler
diameter, S4 inches; cyclinders, &c
and 40 inches by 80 inches; weight
on drivers, 100000 pounds.
The officials state these twenty
three Maliet engines are expected t.
properly handle freight across the

ready to spend 100000 in boring
a 36,000-foot tunnel in order to get
a low-grade line. When that is done
in probably five or six years, they
say Mr. Hartman may then decide
to use electricity as a motive power
and also for the purpose of lighting
the tunnel.

traffic
The reason for the talk of a new
train is two-fold. In the first place
the traffic to the coast is heavier
than the present equipment is able
to properly care for and in the sec
ond place the Hartman lines are anx-
ious to play more imortant part in
the passenger traffic to the north
west.
If the new train is put on, it will
probably leave ogden about Z or s
o'clock in the evening and win be
run through to the coast in very
short time. This would bring it into
Pendloton about or o'clock in the
evening. Though a schedule has not
yet been made out it is probable
that 1t will make about the same
stops as do trains No. and S,
which do not cater to local traffic.

to the criticisms against the bureau
OF statistics of the department of ag
'riculture because of the alleged in
accuracy of its report on March
last on the amount of wheat or
farms, statement was issued yes.
terday by the bureau defending the
estimate.
The bureau estimated that there
were 144,000,000 bushels of wheat
on farms March /, 1909. This was
challenged as being too large. The
statement says:
"In considering this question, ac-
count must be taken of the apparent
supply and distribution of wheat dur
ing the four months from March /
to July l, 1909, was as follows:
Domestic consumption, four
months estimated 16O.OOOOOO bush
els.
Spring wheat seed requirements,
estimated 25,OOO,OOO bueshels.
Exports. including flour, 10000
SIS bushels.
Commercial stocks July /, 1909.
including flour, 2S,O00,OOO bushels.
Total supply and distribution, four
mated 100000 bushels.
Total supply and distribution. four
months Quantity in United States on
March 1. 1909 )244.OO0.0OO.
"Of these about $4,000. 900 bushels
are accounted for by an accepted
commercial statement OF reported
stocks in second hands (mllls and
elevators) including the wheat equiv
alent of flour, on March /, 1909. The
remainder must have been on farms
and is unreported stocks in second
hands on the date named.
Wheat on Farms.
The estimate of wheat on farms on
March (about 144,O00,0O0 bushels)
would leave about &c, 900, 900 bushels
as the unreported amount in second
hands on that date.
But this is more than the amount
estimated as having been so held,
such amount being approximately as
20 per cent of the total quantity, re-
ported and unreported, then in second
hands. Twenty per cent of the total
stocks would have been about 10000
O00bushels unreported, which indi-
Gated that the quality OF wheat on |
farms on March /, 1909, was more |
likely to have been underestlmated |
than overestimated by the bureau OF |
statistics. The statement which has |
the approval of Secretary Wilson. says
the widely published attack on the es-
Innate was inspired solely by the de-
sire of spectators to gain personal
profits at the expense of the
general public.
