 Its first locomotive was called tho Little Wonder. and it has won it's title, for after almost thirty-fiye Wears on the rails il is still in cfti- oiont service It was built in 1869. Its height is about that of the aver age man. Notwithstanding it's size it can haul train of seven pass enger cars, ten box cars. a cahoose and a hundred or more empty slate trucks - a string measuring more than 1,200 feet in length and weigh ing f10 tons. It makes the grades without difficulty and on the more favorable stretches f can attain a speed of thirty miles an hour.
 The railroad possesses several fea. lures of technical interest. for being q one-track road it is equipped with passing sidings. spurs and the nee. essary telegraphic and signal equip ment to render the operation of the road perfectly safe.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES
TOY ROAD PAYS DIVIDENDS.

TOY ROAD PAYS DIVIDENDS.
 The Festinos railroad is not much larger than one which might have been constructed to amuse the chil- dren of q royal household, yet it has taken it's place among the most successful lines in Wales In oper- ation for over seventy years, it is distinctly profitable and pays satis- factory dividends.
 The Festiniog is one of the toy railroads of the world and was the first Of the kind ever constructed. It was built in 1899 to facilitate the transpo ation of slate from the Welsh guarFies to Portmadoc The long inclines then would carry the cars to their destination by gravity, while horses would haul back the empties.
 In 1863, after twenty years Of service for the quarrias, C. r, Spoon CT, an engineer, suggested that the steam engine be introduced and the railroad reconstructed to carry pass engers and freight. The suggestion was adopted and in that year it's period of business and finance be gan.
 The Festiniog railroad is thirteen and one-half miles long It's gauge is 2312 inches. From terminus to terminus it ascends or descends the inclines along which the old gravi tation equipment once rolled. On the journey northward the difference in the altitude of the two termin- als is roo feet, which means a con stant climb from Portmadoc. In many places train of the usual number of cars winds around two or three curves within it's own

CREW RIP AIRING
 TELEGRAPH LINZ

Within the next lev months the entire Second Division of the Wash in2ton-Alaska Military Telegraph sys tenn will have been reconstructed, having an entire new line from Nc Calium to Eureka which points are the south and west limits of the section. At the pescnt time work is under way between Hot Springs and Toloyana which is the final ouch on the westerly half Of the section. Between Delta and Me Carty the work will be commenced as soon as the crew from down river have completed their work and can be shifted
 When the down river work is finished the line will have been shortened by many miles, the rou,e henceforth running direct from Hot Springs along the winter trail to Panama instead of cutting over to Eureka and Rampart as al present.
 In addition to the work on the second section. the local office Of he system is informed that work is progressing rapidly on the Third section on the line running east of Gibbon toward Hot Springs, and which will connect with the crew working west from the Springs

FRE|CHTERS ASK
 FUR ROAD RIP AIRS

On Saturday morning last Nr \
 k. Mclean of Fairbanks creek. on behalf of himself and the merchants and freighters of the creeks. wired Superintendent John Zug. of the road commission, asking for the fr,. mediate repairs of the road between Golden and Skoogy gulch and along the Fairbanks creek trail. This
 message was actuated because of the very bad condition Of the road a@d the almost impossibHlty for any treishtcr carrying load of any weight
 Before sending the telegram repre- seAtatiVes of the freiehters called upon local representatives of the commission but were unable to get any satisfaction as the requested re- pairs were without the scope of the local mans authority.
 It is hoped that the commission will see fit to immediately begin the work of repairs as there are tons of freight to be hauled out ,o the creeks in order that the opera tors along Fairbanks creek and is tributaries may have sufficient sup- plies to carry on their summers work
 All along the road for several miles glacier streams and over flows are flooding the way so that teams and wagons are greatly in. iured by the travel. Teamsters have been compelled to break trail and climb steep hill sides in their andeavors to get through.
