BIG ENGINES
For the B. & o. Are Sent TO
Grafton and Connells-
vile, Pa.

PARKERsBURG, April 1O-Three

ceived here for the helping service
on the B. and o. have been sent to
Grafton and remaining two to Con-
nellsville. They will De made ready
for service at once and will start
their work within week or two.
II is said that the length OF the
large engines will prevent their use
on curves with small clearance.
Because of this type there will be no
chance taken with the big boys, for
they are exceedingly troublesome to
get back upon the track when once
they are derailed, The engines will
be kept at Rowlesburg. They are
limited to the speed of fifteen miles
an hour. The small tunnels on the
ll7-mfle grade at Altamont are being
changed to open cuts to accommo-
date the big engines.
The engines are a little over 90
feet long from the pilot to the draw
bar on the tender. There are six
driving wheels arranged in pairs.
There are also two sets of cylinders,
those forward being low pressue and
those in the rear being high pres
sure. The steam pressure of the
boilers is 21o pounds to the square
inch. Alone they weigh 461, 900
pounds and with the tender. $780,
600 pounds.

EA TEN
HERE BY BILLIONS

dies are the chief sources of supply
of the bananas imported into the
United States. OF the 40 million
punches imported in the calendar
year 1910, 81 million were from Cen
trail America; 10 1-2 million from
British West Indies 1-2 million
from Cuba; and about ! million from
other countries. Costa Rica is the
largest source of supply in Central
America, Honduras second, and Pan
anna third, and Jamaica is the larg-
est source of supply in the West IL
dian Islands. The United States Is
the worlds largest importer OF bana-
mas. The United Kingdom is the
next largest importer, her imports
OF this article in the calendar year
1909 being IA million punches. as
against 80 1-2 million punches i'm
ported into the United States in the
same year.
Practically the entire banana sup
ply Of the United States comes from
abroad. Efforts have been made from
time to time to develop the banana
industry in the extreme south and
in California, but the domestic pro-
duction is inconsiderable when COM
pared with the Importation. The
banana, while probably a native OF
India, is now grown in practically
all tropical countries, and among
considerable part OF the human ratc
ranks as high as do cereal grains
among the people of the temperate
zones, and 1t is said to produce more
food upon given area than wheat.
The CONSUMPTION of bananas in tenn
perate zone countries has increased
enormously in recent years. They
are used chiefly in the natural sta;e
but in smaller quantities in the form
of banana -four made from ripe fruit.
Small quantities OF this flour are I'M
ported into the United States but N
such inconsiderable amounts that the
Bureau of Statistics has not up to
this time found 1t advisable to sep
arately enumerate 1t among articles
imported.

Four Thousand Millions Are
Imported Into This Coun-
ty in One Year.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-Four
thousand million bananas we're i'm
ported into the United States in tho
calendar year 1910. The banana
habit is a growing one in the United
States. In the early eighties the
value of bananas imported, accord
ing to the figures of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, ranged between
one and two million dollars per an
mum; by 1890 the value had increased
to four and one-half million dollars,
in the fiscal year of 1900 to nearly
six million dollars; and in the cal
endar year 1910 TO practically twelve
and one-half million dollars. The
rapid growth in this class of i'm
portations led the Bureau of Statfs-
tics few years ago to call upon col
lectors of customs for the quantity
as well as the value imported, and
the figures of quantities, beginning
with the year 1905. showed for that
year So ga million punches; in 1909,
80 1-2 million; and in 1910, a little
over 40 million punches were i'm
ported. Assuming that these average
100 bananas to the bunch, a figure
which the importers state to be a
conservative estimate, the total num-
Der imported in 1909 would aggrega-
gate approximately 1000 million
bananas.
The value of the bananas imported
in the last decade aggregates in
round terms 100 million dollars. III
the calendar year 1901 the total value
of bananas imported was 6 "a mil
lion dollars; in 1905, 3-4 million:
in 1907, II ga million; and in 1910,
u 1-2 million. These figures of the
values OF bananas imported are the
valuation at wholesale prices iii the
countries from which exported to
the United States, and the average
price per bunch was 81 cents, as viii
be readily seen by dividing the 4O,-
1s2.95s punches imported in 1910 into
the stated value of s12,4S3,33l How
much money is paid by consumers
in the United States for bananas can
not be estimated with accuracy,
though the cost of freight, and the
profits of importers. wholesalers and
retailers must add very materially 10

NO SESSION
OF the West Virginia Leg
islature is Likely to
Be Called.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10
In spite of the fact that kilograms
continue to come out of Charleston
that Governor Glasscock has not
changed his mind in regard to call
ing the special session of the legis-
lature, the best information obtain
able here among persons close to
the governor is that there will not
be special session.
Not only have political friends Of
the governor counseled him against
calling the legislature and told him
that any attempt to pass a primary
bill would be futile. but it is said
the governor himself is beginning to
weaken after having conditions
brought to his attention by his adj
visers.
It has been pointed out to him
that there would be little likelihood
of the same legislature which met
last January and failed to pass a
primary bill, passing one now, while
the expense of calling the legislature
together would be considerable.
Many other arguments are being adj
vanced against the calling OF an ex-
ira session by those who think IT
would be advisable.
