BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE
ON THIS DIVISION

Engineer P. l.. Forcum came in
from Cut Bank Sunday ,on the 1868,
one of the new Mallet engines that
the Great Northern has just re-
ceived. These locomotives are the
largest in the world and will be
used in the mountain districts on
this road.
They are built on the same
principle as the other Mallets, but
show great many improvements
In Re running gear, and in the
way. of superheating the steam,
which will make them stronger and
more economical on fuel.
They are known as the L3 class.
They have a 55 foot wheel base and
weigh 100000 pounds on the
drivers. The cylinders on the high
pressure engine are % inches in
diameter and have 80 inch stroke.
The low pressure are IS inches in
diameter with the same stroke.
They beat anything yet that has
ever been here for pulling cars.
Forcum came out Of Cut Bank with
1900 tons and made it from Black
foot to Summit, the steepest grade
on this eivision, in 2 hours and 81
minutes. The other Mallet only
haul 1850 tons up this same grade.
Monday morning it went east with
1000 tons. 1900 tons is the most
that has ever been hauled before.
If the locomotives continue to in
crease in size in the next few years
as they have been doing in the
past, it will be a question to get
draft gear that will hold the cars
together.

The lights were shut off early
Sunday morning IN account of the
power plant at Bigfork being shut
down so that some repairs could be
made to the fume.
The closing down was for the
purpose of lining a section of the

against leakage and possible giving

avert any breaks until the cement

lowship of Thanksgiving
The community was the host in
that first Plymouth festival. yet the
community divided into families. AS
they kept the feast in the large family
groups into which the necessity of
house building and defense had up to
this time divided them, did any OF
them think. we wonder, of the law OF
the passover established for other
exiles and pilgrims so many centuries
before: And II the household be too
little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbor next unto his house take II
according to the number of the
souls?
AS a community we are today much
further from absolute want and peril
of starvation than the Pilgrims were
when they began the custom of the
yearly feast of thanksgiving. Yet
there are many of our people who

in the midst of poverty and peril OF

and peril the forefathers invited
strangers to the feast, providing what
they could. They were wholly free

KEEPING THE FEAST
TRUE MEANING OF LESSON OF
THANKSGIVING.
Should Be Time of Rejoicing for All,
Those Who Have Abundance
Sharing With Their Less
Fortunate Brethren.

The sober joyfulness Of the first
New England Thanksgiving did not
exhaust itself in a single day. Gov
ernor Bradford after the first scanty
harvest made deliberate provision for
three days feasting and rejoicing,
during which the infant colony enter
tanned more than its own number OF
visiting Indians. 1t is true that these
guests contributed venison for the
feast. as they had earlier contributed
corn for the nse of the COLONY. Int
the heart of the feast was in the
hospitality which made them well
come.
1t would be hard to imagine
greater contrast than that which
must have existed between the sober
garb and quiet manners of the Pill
grims, schooled in persecution and
privation, and the fanatic dress and
unrestrained impulses of Massasoit
and his people. The Indian could be
dignifed enough upon occasion. but
his uncareful selfindulgence even
more than the colonists' hospitable
unbending was the sign of an unusual
confidence. That mutual confidence
and good understanding. to the con-
tinuance of which these days Of
thaksgiving and feasting evidently
contributed not little, procured those
necessary years OF peace and security
which enabled the weakness Of the
Pilgrim colony to harden into
strength.
We call Thanksgiving day especial
lIy a home festival, and It's associations
are most delightful In family reunions
and home pleasures. Yet the prece-
dent of Plymouth hospitality has
never been and never ought to be
NEGLECTED. 1t is a time when those
who are blessed with home joys take
pleasure in sharing them with the
homeless. Families enlarge them
selves to include not only the scat
tered next of kin, but those also who
are far from their own home circle
A touch OF the blessed spirit OF home
lIoy and mutual helpfulness stretches
beyond the limits of the family tc
include those for whom the day would
otherwise be lonelier than others days
for privation of home companionships
This gracious hospitality OF the
Thanksgiving season brings hom,
memories to many guests. 1t ough

There are merchants who by neglect
of business, lack of initiative, and by
tract strong and aggressive competition
The live wire sees a good field and a
neglected trade, and figures that the
people will appreciate attentiveness and
prompt service in preference to the un
certain, easy-going, unenterprising con
ditions, says the Oregon Merchants
Magazine. The merchant who does his
best to please the trade and works his
business every day, anticipating the
wants of all, is not likely to invite {
competitor. There are many, however
who should close their eyes and see the
new business across the street, and star
in the next day as though it were 1
reality.

GEERS IS THROWN
IN PRACTICE DASH
Veteran Picked Up Uncon-
scious, But His Condition
Is Not Serious.

Grand Rapids, Mich. July 19.-The
Grand Rapids harness racing meet, the
most important preliminary to the
opening of the grand circuit, and par
ticipated In by most of the leading
grand circuit horses, started today with
perfect weather, a fast track, exciting
contests and large crowd. An acct
dent in the morning in which Ed Geers,
the veteran reinsman, was thrown from
his suky while working Orienta was
the only dampening influence.
Geers was working out the PAGER
when the horse stumbled and fell
Geers was hurled over its head and
picked up unconscious. He was taken
TO the Butlerworth hospital, where to-
night it was stated he was on the road
TO recovery. Geers talked Of going to
the races tomorrow, but his physician
believes 1t prudent for the noted driver
to remain at least another day in the
hospital.
