WILL HAVE NO STEAM LINES.
Sweden Probably to Be First Country
in the World to Electrify All
Railroads.

Sweden will probably be the first
country in the world to abolish steam
locomotives on all its railroads. For
Sweden has no coal of its own and
has to import all that it uses.
Sweden began in 1906 to experiment
with electric traction on its railroads.
Electric motors were tried first on a
small stretch of road, and the results
were so satisfactory that it has been
decided to electrify all the lines. The
government has bought several large
water falls, which will furnish the
power; h7e central hydro-electric sta.
tons are to be established for the OPP
Grafton of a first section of about 1000
kilometers, and secondary stations, sit
uated about twenty miles apart, will
send the motive power in two direc-
lions In order that any point on the
system may receive power from two
different stations. These generating
stations will also supply motive power
direct TO factories, the motors OF which
are now run by engines burning petro-
leum in their furnaces.
The electric motors are to u at
so kilometers an hour for express
trains and As kilometers for way
trains, which is a little more rapid
than the speed at which the trains run
to-day.
The Swedish engineers calculate
that the identification of these 1000
kilometers of railway will by 1920 eff
feet a saving of about 100000 q year
in the operation of the roads.

PRESERVING Railroad Ties.

Consul w. d. O'Shaughnessy Of
Aguascalientes writes concerning the
successful treatment of railroad ties
in Mexico:
''The local t~ie-treating plant of the
Mexican Central railroad has reached
an output of $500 ties a day, making
1t n of the largest concerns of its
kind in the world. The local plant is
the first in the history of railway op-
Grafton to make a success of the treat
ment of ties by the Ebano Oil process.
1t Is expected that the treatment will
prolong the life of each tie from s to
Il years.
THE process consists OF piacinS ehS
ties In huge cylinders, which r then
filed with oil and subjected to heat
and pressure. After seven hours, the
oil. Is forced out of the cylinders and
the ties removed. The average tie
treated here absorbs about three gal
Ions of oil, which contains a large
amount of solid matter, and IL Is this,
after being forced into the wood, that
acts as q ~preservative. The average
penetration into pine lies is about
two inches; In harder woods II is less;
but In all cases the oil protects them
from the water, and viii keep out
moisture for years. The cost or the
new treatment is said to be much less
than the old treatment OF zinc chic
ride. Must OF the ties received here
are pine, from the United States, but
recently a shipioad was received from
Japan."--Consuiar Report.

SOLID WOOD BLOSSOM.

Peculiar Flower Found on Trees Grow.
ing in crevasses of Mount Aqua.
Through the gift of a friend who
visited the remote region where IT
grows Herman Silver OF Los An
geles has come into the possession of
q specimen of the strangest and rar-
est flower known to scientists.
II is the Rose Of He'll" a gigantic
blossom of solid wood, which grows
nsl~ ON the edges OF a Central Amert-
can volcano and gets it's name from
the Indians, Who believe the crater Is
the entrance of hell and the blossom
q native OF the regions inside.
Mr.. Silver's specimen is one OF few
that have ever been brought to this
country, and perhaps the finest. At
first appearance It seems to be a
tough gnarled knot OF q tree which
has been ~splintered, but closer examt-
nation discloses the TACT that 1t has
petals Of wood and bark and the rough
outlines CT a flower. The petals. con-
cave in form, are arranged much Ike
the petals Of a half blown rose. Their
inside surfaces are covered with fne
lines, which have the delicacy OF fine
hand CARVING. The stem. which IL
about a foot long, Is OF some unusual
wood. which Is light and strong. Il
is covered with heavy bark, which
seems to have been cracked by heat.
Both flower and stem are dark brown
1.-The color Of weather beaten boughs
-and dry as finder. The flower
grows on a tree OF great size and
strength The blossom measures about
twelve inches across.
The trees grow ip the ~crevasses on
the sides OF Mount Aqua. q high peal
among the rugged mountains OF Cen
trail America and near the volcano o
ruego. The Guatemalan Indians hay'
known OF It for q long time and hav'
associated it with the 1ery vengeanc'
or the subterranean regions.

Foley's Kidney Remedy correctS urinary troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and restores strength and vigor.

DURANGO SURE
OF A NEW BANK

The Herald acknowledges a pleas.
ant call from G. c. Hostutler OF
Kansas City accompanied by f. w.
Strickler of st. Joe in paying this city
and district a visit. The gentlemen
arrived Friday evening, going to the
La Platas Saturday where they have
some mining interests along with peo-
pie they represent. Yesterday they
took trip up the valley and looking
about Durango. Mr.. Hostutler's visit
is for the purpose OF looking into the
banking field with view of establish
Ing second institution. Before com.
ing he had some correspondence with
a number Of Durango people who ad-
vised him to come and look over the
field. Mr.. Hostutler is with the bond
department of the Commercial Trust
company OF Kansas City, an institu.
tion with $11,000,000 of deposits. He
also brings letters from the president
of the German National bank of St
Joe and Dr. Woods, the financial king
of Kansas City. Mr.. Hostutler con.
versed with quite number of Du.
rango people and also with Mr.. Camp
OF the First National He finds that
a trust company with capital OF
$4,000 Is being organized ahead OF
him to open its doors In the near flu.
ture and this morning left for Den.
yer TO consult with the head people
with view of becoming interested
and handling the organization and fur
nuishing most of the capital. If he
falls In this we are not informed
whether he will open a third institu.
tion or not. Mr.. Hostutler says Du.
range offers the best inducements of
any town in the west. not excepting
Kansas. Oklahoma. Colorado or any
other state and he has travelled about
good deal. He likes our town and
people and believes the growing pos.
sibilities OF this southwest section are
underestimated. Should conditions
make 1t possible for Mr.. Hostutler
to become one of our citizens we
know he will meet with cordial re-
oeption because he is very pleasant
and affable gentleman to converse
with and one who thoroughly under.
stands the banking business.
