PACIFIC TYPE IN EAST.
New York Central Has Success With
New Western Locomotives.


Some very satisfactory mileage is
being shown by the Pacific type pas
senger locomotives built by the Ameri-
can Locomotive company for the New
York Central railroad. On one di-
vision, and that having the worst
water on the road, seven of these To-
comotives have reeled off the follow
ing mileage since they came from the
locomotive builders new: 164, 668,
156,25S, 1917, 159,S52, 1888,
155,O64, 159,557.
This mileage has been made with
only running repairs, the locomotives
being still on the road and not hay
ing had general overhauling. Their
system of taking care of locomotives
at terminal is to wash out the boilers
with hot water every week. (See de-
scription of apparatus. National Boil
er Washing system. Ry. and Eng.
fues are prossered every month, dating
from the receipt of the engine and not
waiting until the sheet gets damp.
Certain engines are assigned to each
boilermaker in the terminal round
house. Thus any failure or trouble can
be traced irrefutably. The New York
Central standard practice is to turn
tires after 100 900 miles. This class
of engine has done so we'll that the
limit has been raised to $4,000 miles.
OF the seven engines above shown,
only three lave had f1anges turned
since leaving the builders hands. Their
capacity and power have made this
class great faVorites on the road, so
that the recent order is duplication
of this design.

CONSTRUCTION WORK LIGHT.
Railroads Build Lines Under Compul-
sion of Business Only.

Chicago. Jan. 3.-The railroads of the
United States constructed total of
3,748 miles of new lines during the pres
ent year which is an increase of 534
miles when compared with the year pre-
vious. With the exception of 1905 the
present year has proved the lightest IL
months period, so far as new railroad
construction is concerned. in eight
years.
The record OF construction shows
clearly that the railroads built only
such lines as they were compelled to
build through business expeaiency Most
Of the mileage was constructed into
hew territory which was demanding
traffic facilities. A large portion of the
new construction was in the Pacific
Northwest. where the Hartman, the
Hill and the st. Paul interests engaged
in competitive occupation of new terri
tory.

ENGINES RUN BACKWARD.
Southern Pacific Locomotives So Long
Engineer Has to Reverse.

The new locomotives of the. Manet
artieulated compound. type for the
southern Pacific railroad are SO long
that if used in the ordinary way the
engineer would have difficulty getting
a good view o. the track in front of
him. so to obviate the difficulty the
builders have placed the cart before
the horse, as it were. and are building
the LOGON olives to run backward. with
the tender attached to the pilot. The
ffteen locomotives thus constructed
are oil burners, as this arrangement
would not be possible with coal burn
ing engines of that type. A bumper

Hon. C. H. Alexander Speaks.

Hon. G. H. Alexander, Of
Jackson, candidate for the United
States Senate, spoke to a repre-
sentative audience at the court
house Saturday morning. Guy
w. Mitchell introduced Mr.. AL
exander as representing the
highest type Of Mississippi's
citizenship, and expressed the
prediction that if elected to the
senate would reflect all that was
best in craftsmanship and loyalty
to his people.
In Mr.. Alexanler's address he
showed the mind of the trained
logician in a thorough and con-
else analysis Of the national
democratic platform and took the
position that each plank when
brought to its proper significance
was directed against the great
corporations which seek to con-
troll legislation and direct the af-
fairs Of the government.
Mr.. Alexander here reviewed
his connection with the prosecu-
ton of the corporations when
they sought to override the law,
and stated that he had never ap
peared as a representative of a
corporation where the rights Of
the people were attacked.
Mr.. Alexander next addressed
himself to consideration of the
race question, which ne said ex-
listed in the south and would al
ways exist where peoples of two
races occupied one country. He
said that it had been charged
against him that he had taken
the position that there was no
race question, but that he had
never held to any such conten-
ton. Admitting that the race
question does exist in the south.
and especially in Mississippi, he
felt proud Of the fact that our
people had, at all times and un-
der all circumstances, been able
to solve every social problem and
every problem of civil govern
ment without aid from the out
side. With this, proud record in
the past, he felt that Mississip-
plans were still able to cope with
any internal problem, however
grave, and solve it.
He called attention to the dan
ger of carrying the race issue
before the people Of the north as
arbiters. He asked that if a
question arose between the negro
and the southern white mar,
whether any one of his hearers
would not prefer to leave it to
our people to settle rather than
to a jury or araiter from the
northern states. It any one was
present who would be willing to
submit his case to the north, he
would be pleased to see him
stand. No one stood up.
Mr.. Alexander was given the
closest attention and most re
spectfuI hearing, and his address
elected great applause as the
telling facts went home.
This was his first appearance
here and since his speech many
expressions OF endorsement have
been heard among those who
were fortunate enough to hear
his great speech.
