The first locomotives in the United
States were brought over from Eng
land by Horatfo Allen of New York
in the fall Of 1929 or the spring Of
1880, and one Of them was set up on
the Della ware and Hudson railroad at
Carbonate. Pa. but, being found too
heavy for the track. its use was aban-
doned. The first locomotive nstruct-
ed in this country was built by the
West Point foundry at New York In
1880 for the South Carolina railroad
and named the Phoenix. A second en-
CINE was built the same year by the
same establishment and for the same
road and named the West Point. In
the spring Of 1881 third engine was
built by the same establishment for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad from
Albany to Schenectady and called the
De Witt Clinton. This was the first
locomotive run in the state OF New
York. The first Stephenson locomotive
ever imported into this country was
the Robert Fulton This engine was
brought out In the summer Of 1881 for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad. It
was subsequently rebuilt and named
the John Bull.

The Tyrant In the Field.

There have been few commanders so
tyrannous as Lopez, the dictator Of
Paraguay. when, in the war Of 1865-70,
1t fought single handed the neighbo--
ing countries Of Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay. Lopez. says Mr.. W. Fl. Koe-
bel in his Argentina" was wont to
carry the theory OF victory or death to
an uncomfortable point. Officers
were executed for mere remarks
whose tone fell beneath the standard
Of confidence that Lopez had set up
for himself. One, for instance, was
shot for having announced In the
course Of his duty that the enemy was
strongly intrenched! Another met his
end on account Of an unguarded
speech to the effect thss the Para.
guayan army was accustomed to count
the enemy's losses and forget its own"

Old Time Railway Travel.

Third class passenger coaches In
England used to be coupled on next to
the engine The travellers came in for
terrible treatment when any accident
occurred At times the engine was
driven tender first, in which case frozen
hands could be warmed at the smoke
stack. The passengers were packed,
seventy of them, into truck eighteen
feet in length by seven and half in
width. There was no roof and not, as
a rule, proper protection at the sides.

the two front steering wheels,
which have heavy oak spokes, fell
loes, etc. The steel frame of the
wagon is elevated about six feet
above the ground. 1t rests upon
four wheels, and in appearance the
whole thing looks something like
an old-fashioned "carry-log." The
hind wheels are built entirely of
iron and steel, aud are nine feet
high, while the front steering
wheels are about FIVE feet high.
The big wheels have a tire ten
inches wide, and the wagon has a
tread of ten feet. On the front of
the wagon, almost over the steer
ing wheels, is located a 40-horse-
power gasoline engine, which fur
nishes the motive power to run and
operate the whole thing. The ma
chine will be finished and ready
to make its trial trip within the
next week or ten days. The whole
outfit will weigh several tons, and
when completed will cost small
fortune of $4,000 or $4,000.
The gentlemen building this
machine regard its successful OPP
Grafton as a matter of course. and
if it succeeds as they think, then
Grant parish can lay claim to hav-
ing within its borders something
new under the sum-" an auto log
ging wagon run by gasoline.

The above picture shows home
made machine designed and built
by Mr.. M. L. Virgins, of George
town, Grant parish, La. 1t is be-
ing used to work the roads in ward
five, in this parish, and is remark
able for the effective and rapid
work that it does, and also for its
simplicity and small cost of con-
struction.
The machine may be described
as cross between the split-log
drag and the big 5000 and $500
iron and steel road machines now
in use. 1t does nearly as much
and quite as effective work as the
high priced machines, and can be
built at one-tenth of their cost.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1910-07-23

Work with this machine is done
by first breaking the ground with
big turning pillow, and then using
the machine to drag the dirt to the
center of the road. Two mules
and two men are all that are re-
quired to operate the outfit With
this force Mr.. Virgins informs us
he can build one mile of good road
in five days. The cost of operst-
ing is about 81 a day. and allow
ing 5 days to complete one mile of
road makes the cost of road build
ing with this machine $35 ger
mile. In another place in this is
sue of the Chronicle we give an ac-
count of twelve miles of good
roads built by this, machine in
ward five, which we have person
ally inspected.

points as may be desired. A turn
ing pillow to break the ground can
also be hauled about on the ma
chine.
The ingenuity with which Mr..
Virgins has combined the princi-
Piles of the cheap split-log drag
and the high-priced road machine,
shows him to be of an original and
inventive turn of mind, and he
ought 10 be able to realize a hand
some reward for his genius and in
dustry. He informs us that the
material in the machine will only
cost IS or SO, and he can make
one in couple of days or less
time. So the machine should rot
cost over $40 or $25 at the most.

A Monster Auto Logging Wagon.

During late trip to the north
eastern portion of Grant parish We
had cursory view of the great
saw mill plant of the fremont
Lumber Co. at Rochelle, and that
of the Grant Lumber Co. at Selma.
These two saw mills, in the order
named, are probably the biggest
aud most complete and up-to-date
plants in the State, next to the
great mill plant at Bogalusa, La,
said to be the largest in the South.
The mills at Rochelle and Selma,
with their commissaries, Offices,
hotels, schools, ETC., and the neat
cottage quarters for their employ
es, constitute miniature cities.
There are considerably more than
a thousand persons at each place,
when the men, women and child
rem are taken into consideration,
and the systematic arrangement OF
the houses, each and every one
neatly painted, gives both towns
quite an attractive appearance.
In the machine shop at Selma,
which we inspected, they can make
anything from 4-inch bolt up to
a railroad locomotive. All the
machinery in this shop is run by
electricity, the power being fur
nished from the mill plant, some
500 or 600 feet distant.
A MONSTER IRON LOGGING WAGON.
In the Selma shop we saw a
monster iron and steel auto log
ging wagon, that is being built by
Mr.. E. E. Fitzgerald, manager of
the mill, assisted by Mr.. p Kahel-
lex, foreman of the machine shop.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, in addition to be-
ing manager and one of the main
stockholders of the Grant Lumber
Co., is also of an inventive turn of
mind, and he is having this big
logging wagon built for the use of
his company. His ideas are being
executed by Foreman Kahellek,
who is master hand to carry them
to completion.
This auto logging wagon is built
entirely of iron and steel, except
