Portland, March 10.-Receipts for
the week have been: Cattle, 1904;
calves, 8; hogs, 2,544; sheep, 3,34S;
horses, 20.
Cattle liquidation has been compar-
atlVely liberal this week but steers
were the only class which showed
steadiness. Nearly all steer offerings
graded a shade short of prime, selling
sLI5 down to 1925, with one small
lot at 500. Tops are considered steady
at $40 to $7.75. Butcher stock has
been slow due to lack of uuality but
demand is not very broad for the best.
Although an urgent call for prime
calves rules. receipts have been insig-
mflcant. A good bull trade at steady
prices shared butcher division activ-
ity with cows. Generally the cattle
market is steady with downward ten
dency.
The hog market is rapidly advance

Developments of the day served to

Electric Freiqhtyards.

One of the most difficult problems
in connection with railway electric
cation is the electric operation of
switching yards for freight service.
Where the third rail system of opera
ton is employed. it will be conceded.
probably. that operation OF freight
yard by electric power is out of the
question. The work of yard men is
dangerous enough at the present
time; and IL we were to add to pres
ent dangers the necessity of keeping
clear of a labyrinth of highly charged
third rails. extending all over the
labyrinth OF tracks. 1t may we'll BE eS-
pected that the result in casualties
would shortly result in a public out
cry and consequent legislation COM
pelling the abandonment OF the sys.
TEN of electric distribution. however.
such as is now in use on some lines.
it becomes possible to equip
freightyard for electric operation by
suspending a network OF electric con-
ductors overhead. This has now been
done for the New Haven railway at
its Harlem river terminal in the
northern part OF New York city. This
terminal covers an area Of two hun
dred or three hundred acres. and its
tracks have a total extent of eighty
six miles.

HONOR is NOT sTEPHENsoN's
Fifteen Years Before He Built the
Rocket, William Hedley Had Pro
duced Practical Locomotive.

There is cause for wonder at the
failure of the industrial world to COM
memorate fittingly the centenary of
the locomotive steam engine It Is,
Of course, still less than a hundred
years since the building of Stephen
sons Rocket. and there are many who
think of 1t as the first locomotive; but
1t was not, nor was Stephenson the
original inventor of steam traction on
railways. Doubtless his genius well
deserves the fame which 1t has won.
as does that of Fulton and Morse; yet
it can scarcely be disputed that all
three of those illustrious benefactors
of the race did their great works in
the successful adaptation and combina-
tion of elements which had previously
been discovered and employed by 9TH
ers.
The germ of the locomotive was first
displayed by Trerithick. at the end of
the eighteenth century, but he lacked
the genius or the persistence to bring
it to perfection. 1t was left to William
Hedley, chief engineer of the historic
Wylam colliery, near Newcastle-on-
Tyne, assisted by his colleague, Tim
othy Hackworth, to produce in June,
1913, a practical locomotive steam en-
gine for use on the colliery railroad.
This epoch-making machine, which
was named Putting Billy and which is
still preserved in the South Kensing
ton museum, worked satisfactorily and
was the prototype of many others
which were widely used for fifteen
years, until in 1929 the Liverpool and
Manchester Railroad company encour-
aged Stephenson to devise and build
the Rocket.
1t is doubtless true that it was Ste
phenson who gave the impulse to the
marvellous development of the locomo-
tive which has since occurred. 1t is
equally true that it was Hedley's great
invention which gave the inspiration
and the impulse to Stephenson The
Newcastle engineers achievement of
just century ago may therefore be
regarded as the beginning of what
must rank among the three or four
most valuable and influential me-
chanical inventions in the history OF
the world.

the field of action with solution OF
sulfocide and nicotine shot from hand

Day after day Fullerton and his
hand-car batteries raked the battle
field with their spray pumps, and day
after day caterpillars and yet more
caterpillars inundated themselves be-
fore any and every Long Island train
that iuggernauted that way.
Then Fullerton bethought himself
OF the method by which medieval
castles were defended. He ran six
inch moat along both sides OF the In
vaded stretch of track and flooded it
with crude oil. Then did history re-
peat herself and tell over again the
story of the French cuirassiers and
the sunken road at Waterloo: rank
after rank OF caterpillars dashed into
this moat OF Fullerton's. but not a
caterpillar reached its other side.
The Long Island railroad had won
the war OF the caterpillars.
But though vanquished, they had
established a record. Bugs and worms
before this have crippled railroads.
but never before has any army, either
bug or worm. succeeded in continuing
its campaign for so long a time.

Railroad Cats Long Life.

Tiger" the remarkable cat of the

long life Tiger has killed thousands
of rats. She is a light tabby. and
came to the sheds for refuge during
fire at timber yard close by over
twenty-six years ago. having been
driven from her home in timber
stack by the flames. Tiger has al
ways been wild. and has obtained her
own food. consisting almost entirely
of rats. of which she would kill as
many as fourteen and fifteen In one
night Her custom was to bring all
the rats alive to one OF the men en-
ployed in the shreds. and would not
eat one until she received permission.
