ENORMOUS ENGINES.

(Claamber Journal.)
Without actually seeing the huge
locomotives recently built in America
for the Virginian Railway, 1t Is diff
cult to realize their colossal propor-
tons. Each engine. without the ten
der. Is about equal to a couple Of our
largest express locomotives with their
tenders. The tender weighs nearly
100 tons. and carries twice the weight
of coal and nearly three times the
quantity Of water that a be accom-
modated on the biggest express ten
Ter in this country. The length Of
each engine is greater than our larg-
est engine and tender combined,
while the diameter Of the barrel part
OF the boiler is about double that. of
any locomotive in use on British rail-
ways. The furnace measured - feet
by s leet, and the floor consists Of
bars, forming an enormous fire crate.
The u~nderbody Or chassis Of these To-
comotives looks like those of two sep.
arate engines. each having two cylin-
ders with four pairs OF coupled driv-
ing wheels. There Is also q pair Of
small wheels at each emf of the com
plete arrangement. These locomo.
tives are capable Of developing near.
~ 5000 horse power. or enough to
drive an ocean. liner; and Of the
fOUr tons OF coal
per hour when the engine is hauling
a full load. The engineer, as the
driver is called in America, who con-
trolls one Of thes mighty engines, is an
important Parsonage. He has three
assistants---two nleh to stoke and one
to oil the mechanism. A train weigh
ing 1900 tom can be pulled along by
OF these monsters; but this huge
weight. represents a comparatively
small goods train on an American
railway, and it is proposed to use two
Of tn. new engines, together with a
slightly smaller of an earlier type,
for the heaviest work. The three en-
gines all pulling together can haul
over a very difficult track with step
gradients. and sharp curves, the rise
beine nearly 100 feet per mile for q
considerable distance. These enor-
nous trains are for carrying gods.
or freight" as the Americans term
it; but of course the trucks are huge
compared with many Of u railway
wagons, which only hold about eight
tons each. An American freight wa
gon carries from 40 to so tons, and
itself weighs another 20 tons, so that
q train of, say, 90 Of these trucks
loaded with heavy material, such as
coal or ore, would easily make IN the
weight quoted. On British railways
coal trucks fully loaded weigh about
Is tons each, and IS Of them would
be considered a. heavy train.

MISS TAYLOR
wins 500 PRIZE.
Miss Mann Loses First Place in
Courier Contest by Only
$50 Votes

Miss Ona Lee Taylor won the
first prize of 500 in gold in the
Courier's popularity contest which
closed last Saturday night. She
won out by the exceedingly narrow
margin of $50 votes over Miss
Dorothy Mann who received the
second prize of $40.
On Thursday preceding the close
OF the contest the vote stood 81 800
for Miss Taylor and $1,000 for Miss
Mann. Saturday evening at 8
o 'clock the final sealed reports of
each contestant for subscriptions
taken on Friday and Saturday were
opened and checked. Miss Mann's
last report showed "a, 500 votes and
Miss Taylor's 10, ,25O. This brought
the totals up to 100, 500 for Miss
Mann and 10O,S5O for Miss Taylor
Which is some close finish, as one
more new subscription for Miss
Mann would have reversed the re-
suit. A total of 2S5, 700 votes We. 6
cast for all of the five contestants. +:
The contestants wish to thank
their friends most heartily for their
interest and support during the con-
test and the Courier wishes also to
add a word of thanks to the public
for the interest shown during the
contest, to express our appreciation
to the contestants for their good
work and to wish it had been pos
sible for each to have won the big
prize.
Miss Taylor plans to make good
use OF her prize money. She will
leave for Seattle in week or two
where she will take course in one
OF the business colleges. Similar
plars would have been carried out
by Miss Mann, had she got the 500.
| AS result of the contest, the
] Courier's subscription list has been
largely increased and is today in
the best condition it has ever en-
joyed since the paper was estab-
lished. As an instance of the
thoroughness with which this paper
covers its territory, we can say that
there are only two homes on r. F.
D. No. 2 (the Highlands route)
which are not subscribers to the
Courier, and while the other dis
tricts have not been 80 thoroughly
checked up, the average will run
nearly as high in the city and the
lower valley.

HOPE TO STRIKE ARTEsIAN
WATER IN HORSE HEAVEN
Columbia Orchards Company Moves in
Big Drilling Outfit and Prepare
to Bore 1900 Feet

Another we'll is to be drilled in
the Horse Heaven in the hopes of
striking artesian water. The Com
mercial Orchards company this
week has hauled out one of the
largest well-drilling outfits ever
brought to this section of the state
to their land in Horse Heaven and
will begin to bore as soon as the ap-
paratus can be rugged up.
The company is the owner OF
fifty-two sections of good wheat land
some twenty-five miles south and
west of this point. The new town
of Colbia is also one Of their ven
lures.
The drill is capable Of boring
hole fourteen inches in diameter to
a depth of 1900 feet. This distance
will be driven, and should they not
strike flowing well at th"t depth,
pumps will be installed. Expert
enced drill men have stated that the
location ia as good as any that they
have ever seen for flowing well,
and the promoters are confident OF
striking flowing water at a less
depth than 1900 feet.

WILL MARKET PEACHES
DIRECT TO RETAILERS
Collins Company Expects to Sell Large
Portion Of Soft Fruit Crop
Under New Method

To sell soft fruits direct to the
retailer, thereby cutting out the
profit OF two to six middlemen, and
to let the grower know exactly what
his crop will bring before it is
loaded upon the cars, is the selling
plan to be used by the Chas. H.
Collins Co. this year.
MIR. Collins, for the past year, has
tried out the system on Yakima
apples and believes it is the only
proper way to market the fruit pro-
ducts OF the west, especially where
competition from the eastern pro-
ducts must be met.
Several of the owners of the larger
peach orchards have signified their
Willingness to dispose of their crops
oy this method this year and it is
thought that enough of the growers
can be signed to make the total
shipments from fifty to seventy-fve
cars.
The plan, in brief, is this: Mr..
Collins will travel in the marketing
districts, selling straight car loads
OF peaches to the retailers in town,
After placing the car the shipment
will be made direct from Kenne.
WICK to the retailer. In this man
her the grower will know exactly
"hat to expect for his fruit.
Mr.. Collins discovered in his trips
last year that at the prices the con
sumner paid the peaches should hav'
netted the grower forty to fifty cent

RAILROAD TO HELP
SMALL FRUIT GROWER
Northern Pacific to Handle Less Than
Carload Lots in Ventilated Cars
at Low Rates

AS the result of a conference last
week at Tacoma, the Northern Pa
cific Railway has agreed to furnish
fast freight, ventilated car service
and special low rates on less than
carload shipments of fruit from
Yakima Valley points to Spokane,
Tacoma and Seattle during the COM
ing season. This concession is
made for the relief of the small
grower who, at times when the
price of his commodity is 80 low as
to prevent express shipment, needs
lower freight rate and ventilated
car service. It is anticipated that
the action of the Northern Pacific
will be followed by like concessions
by the O-W. R. & N. The rate
from Kennewick to Spokane will be
so cents and from Kennewick to
Tacoma and Seattle IS cents.

present at the conference, said: Il
