mote resem blance- The present mar
yelous piece of machinery has been
the result OF endless experiments, OF
slow but steady growth. At some
of the worlds fairs, mere was no 9th
er thing of greater interest to almost
everybody, than the display OF ma
chimes which illustrated the evolution
of the locomotive, says the Burltng-
ton Hawk-Eye.
That iron horse was the greatest
boon that ever came to our western
country Without it. much of the
Great American desert would still be
uncharted and would still remain on
the map blank spot. 1t was the
forerunner of settlements and OF civi-
lization in the west. 1t was the loco
motive that made the opening of the
west possible. And as it plowed its
way through the land Of the Indian
and the bison, it has plowed its way
through African forests and deserts,
through the wilds of South America.
through hundred regions that were
practically unknown even forty years
ago. 1t is going to play an important
part in the real opening OF Alaska.
just as without the locomotive, the
opening of western Canada might
have been delayed for centuries. and
where there are now rich farms and
beautiful modern cities. the trapper
would be practically the only dweller
in the land and something akin to
civilized settlement would be con-

the Hudson Bay company.
1t is scarcely possible that another
century will see further development

men are Of the opinion that the limit
has about been reached. Perhaps the
locomotive will have no second CEN

that while coal viii put the engines
out of commission, that are heated
with black coal or oil, and that the
days of the locomotive is numbered.
Be that as it may. the part that the
iron horse had In opening new worlds
to settlement will never be forgotten,
