Electricity Operates Western Railroad
Adopts Electric Through
out Passenger Freight Service
ET. MEREDITH

The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific rail-
way is one of the most remarkable ex-
amples Of steam road identification.
Besides being the first 2,40O volt d.
rect current road in this country, 1t is
also the first steam road, operating
both freight and passenger schedules,
to electrify it's lines purely for econ
omicaI reasons. A number OF steam
railway electrihcations have been
made because of peremptory factors,
such as terminal and tunnel operation
or for rapid suburban service. This
road. however, cannot be classed as
an enforced electrihcation," since no
such special limitations have been the
determining factors.
The first electric locomotives were
put in service May %. 1918, hauling
ore cars between the East Anaconda
yards and the smelter. During the
first seven months of service, they
made approximately 100000 miles and
hauled about 2,365,OO0 tons Of ore.
The steam locomotive crews, con-
sisting of engine men and firemen,
easily acquired proficiency in handling
the electric locomotives; in fact, two
or three days instructions from COM
petent electrical man we're ordinarily
sufficient. The change from steam to
electric haulage was made without
any change in the personnel OF the
train crews and without any delays or
alterations in the schedule. The en-
gineers, without exception, have ex-
pressed themselves as being greatly
pleased with the easy operation OF the
locomotives.
The electrified lines of this system
extend from the Butte Hill yard to
the smelter, a distance Of 80 miles.
There are numerous sidings, yards
and smelter tracks that have been
equipped with overhead trolley, max
ing a total of about IS miels on a sim
gle track basis. The Butte, Anaconda
& Pacific railway is essentially an
ore hauling road, the freight traffic
from this source originating at the
copper mines located near the top OF
Butte Hill. From the mines, the ore
trains are lowered down the mountain
a distance of AZ miles to the Rocker

Ideal Easter weather prevailed in
Keokuk yesterday. The day left
nothing to be asked for in the way
Of weather, and display Of clothes
which u always feature Of Easter
day was not lacking yesterday. The
brilliant colors OF the season worn
in daring combinations were familiar
sights.
The weather was ideal for walking
or driving, and nearly everyone in
Keokuk was doing one of the two.
The streets were crowded with pedes-
TRANS all during the day, but espec-
ially in the afternoon, and the parks
were the rendezvous Of hundreds Of
Easter paraders.
Many people were driving yester-
day and auto parties were numerous.
The river drive on both sides of the
river was popular place for the
machines, and the boulevard and the
roads in the city were clustered with
vehicles. The autos. many of them,
looked like rainbows and flower
gardens. because OF the varied hued
hats and dresses worn by the oc-
cupants. ~
The streets took on the appear
ance of Kaleidoscope during the
afternoon with the many colored
dresses and hats. Blues. OF all
shades, pinks, old rose. and even some
Of the somber browns, all combined
to make an ever changing color
scheme

music was given by the choirs and

and the sermon by DR.. Neill was es-
pecially fitting to the occasion. The
PASTORS subject was Immortality.
The various Sunday schools also
observed the day ands exercises were
held in many OF these.

Lamb In the Sun.
Whether Keokuk people generally
observed the old custom of looking
for the Easter lamb In the setting
sun, is not told, but some Of those
who did get out piece OF smoked

picture of lamb dancing UP and
down in the sun. This old supersti-
