Big Santa Fe Mallet Engine
Hauls Eight Million Pounds.
One Hundred Loaded Cars Pulled
by the Monster.
NEARLY A MILE LONG
Record Trip Made between EN-
poria and Argentine.
in Traffic World.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 11-What
probably will stand for some time as
a record for tractive power of locomo-
tives was made on the Santa Fe be-
tween Emporia and Kansas City Thurs
day. One of the companys big new
Mallet engines No 3009, left Emporia
Thursday morning at 1905 with 100
loaded cars. The train reached Argen-
tine at 5:45 p. m, averaging 141z miles
an hour for the entire trip of 109 miles.
Fast freightS on the Santa Fe main
tain a schedule of hours and 80 min
utes for this trip, which is but 10 min
uteS faster than the time made by
the Mallet engine train.
In point of weight and length the
trains record probably never has been
equalled. The entire weight of the
train was ,28O tons, or s, $50 900 pounds.
To the average mind this enormous
weight is unfathomable. Few can COM
prehend more than few hundred
pounds. The engine alone weighs 500,-
900 pounds and cost 600 Most of
struction This section of the Santa
Fe's track is we'll ballasted with rock
and all bridges are Of steel Otherwise
the tremendous weight might have told
on the track.
The samllest cars now in general use
are SO feet in length, exclusive of the
air attachments and couplers, which
would bring the length to AZ feet This
WOulQ make the 4UU cars 4,ZOO I66I IN
length. Many of the cars, however,
were much larger. The engine is 125
feet long and the caboose 40 feet. With
a few of the larger cars the length of
the train would be at least 4,500 feet.
When the train reached Argentine the
engine had passed the passenger sta
ton, while the caboose was at the Car
Isle road. nearly a mile distant. The
average train carries but so cars, which
make the Santa F'e record train about
double in size.
Taking the weight of the average
man as 160 pounds the train could have
carried SO, 500 people, or more than there
are in Topeka, Wichita or Lincoln,
Neb.
The train was in the nature of a test
for the new Mallet engine. The Santa
F-e has purchased and is constructing
in it's Topeka shops a mum ber of the
same type One of these, the 5000 re-
Gently was pronounced the largest in
the world, No. 3009 is of the same di-

will start within a few days on a tour
of the Santa F'e system. The demon
stration train can be seen at the Grand
Avenue station next Tuesday afternoon
from 4 to $50 o'clock.

Kearney, Neb., Sept. 11.-Gilbert H.
Gilbert, an engineer in the employ of
the Brindley company of contracting
engineers, of II Battery place, New
York, today concluded a trip of in
spection over the proposed route of
the railroad to he built from Kear-
ney to Beloit, Kan He was taken by
Beloit business men TO Franklin and
from Franklin to Kearney shown
over the line of survey to kearney
by Carson Gilbreth, who has been the
chief promoter of the road
Gilbert was much pleased with the
line as it has been surveyed and ex-
pressed surprise at the richness of
the country through which it passes.
He said it would be a very easy road
to construct, as only fifteen of the one
hundred and sixteen miles would re-
quire heavy grading Eighty miles of
the surveyed line are almost perfectly
level.
No statement would be made by
Mr.. Gilbert regarding the precise ma
ture of his mission here, other than
that his firm was financing and su-
perintending the construction of new
railroads. His firm sent him here
without request of the Kearney-Be-
lott railroad promoters and with no
expense to them.

very well be grave doubtful it
Should certainly carry the impression
of disunion and of incompetence in
the party, an estimate that has hither-

and this impression should rebound
very heavily to the advantage of the

AS to the reciprocity measure itself,
it is a two-edged sword 1t offers re-
lief, no doubt, to certain classes and
interests, and the general purpose of
it is correct, but like all halfway
measures-this hardly a quarter of
the way-it leaves much to be desired
and may aggravate more than it re-
lieyes. The burdens of the people
which have been impressed by the
tariff should be relieved by revision
OF the tariff all along the line, not by
any partial concessions such as are
accorded by the reciprocity measure.
But the democrats have done what
they should have done and what will
