Electric Engine
Attracts Attention

Quite a large number Of Lem
mon people went to the MiIwau.
kee wards on Monday evening of
this week to view the mammoth
electric engine that arrived here
about nlne-thirty enroute to the
west where 1t will be used in haul.
ing freight over the roof of the
world" The engine was halted
here for thirty minutes so that
the people of this vicinity might
see what is declared to be the
largest electric locomotive in the
world,
The engines which were de.
signed to haul freight over the
Rocky Mountains. weigh 282 tons,
have a total wheel base of 10l
feet, s inches; have eight driy-
ing m otors developing 5000
horse power and have a tractive
effort of $4,000 pounds. The
electric zone in which they will
operate will extend from Harle-
town Mont, to Avery, Idaho,
and the total electrified track
are will be $50 miles. Fourteen
complete electrical sub-stations
will soon be completed along the
line and at each sub-station
bungalows have been erected 10
house the operators of the sta
tons.
The engine is so constructed
that while running down a grade
which requires little power be-
yond its own momentum, it can
generate almost enough power
to pull another train of equal
size up the grade On the other
side.
The dispatcher sits at his desk.
and by operating switches can
furnish enough power on a GER
tain stretch of road tt operate
all trains on that stretch at the
speed he desires to make, and by
the same method can shut off
power going to another division
on which no trains are being
operated. In this manner no
energy is wasted at any time,
and there is always sufficient
power to operate the trains sue

Bad Freight Wreck
Delays Fast Trains

Last Wednesday night a fast
freight loaded with wheat was
derailed at Petrol. seven miles
west of Lennon, and the fast
Olympian train was held up in
this city for . hours, while the
wrec kagc was being cleared
away,
ltseems that "A car in the CELL
ter of the train was derailed
somewhere between Haynes and
Petrol and the crew did not be,
come aware of the fact until they
struck the switches at Petrol
where the car became caught in
the frog Of the switch resulting
in the plling up of five cars and
tearing up of about 800 feet of
track. Four cars of wheat were
smashed to sIivers and the wheat
scattered all over the road bed.
A large crew OF men was busy
for several days shovellng the
wheat into other cars and it was
three days before the track was
again in condition for travel.
The wreck occurred just pre-
vlous to the arrival Of train No.
Is, the Oiympian, bound for the
coast from Chicago, and it was
necessary for them to tie up at
this point until the track could
be sufficiently cleared for them
to get by. A special car was at
tached to the train containing
the officials of the road and the
delay gave them an opportunity
to look over the livest town on
their entire system. Many of
the people who were on the
train took the opportunity af-
forded them and came up town
where they we're shown around
by the live wires of the town.
The Herald was favored with
calls from several of the DELAYED
passengers and they all express
ed themselves as much impress
ed with the appearance Of our
thriving little city.

First Football
Game SATURDAY.

The first football game of the
season for the local Lennon
High School will be played on
Saturday of this week with the
High school team from Mobridge
on the local field.
The local team has been given
a great deal of strenuous work
during the past week and are in
good shape. Several of t h e
players on the last years team
are again enrolled in the High
School and with the new ma
terial that is being developed
the local High School has the
making of championship team.
Mobridge has an exceptionally
fast team this year and it is
their determination to win this
game. The local school is con-
fident that they will be able to
defeat the Missouri River ath-
letes. so it is certain that hard
fought game will be the result.
Everyone should make it their
aim to come out and help the
team along. 1t costs a consider
able amount of money to secure
this team so that unless a liberal
patronage is given, t h e game
will be financially unsuccessful

Mr.. Brickley. it will be re-
membered, was one of the farm
ers, VINO was mentioned some
time ago as one of the chief al
falfa growers of this section.
He stated to the editor, while in
the office, that he had killed a
hog. last week, that had had
nothing as feed except alfalfa,
that dressed 304 pounds and the
pork was the best that he had
ever seen. He stated also that
he had several more that were as
good as this one and the feed
was the same for all.
Mr.. Brickley'j crop of alfalfa
which.is now in stack amounts
to 81 tons and the field that it
was cut from served as pasture
all summer for his herd of hogs.
That Mr.. Brickley has great
faith in the future of the country
is proyen by the fact that he has
invested In $50 acres more land
than his original homestead.

Gentlemen:
Replying to your request
for a short statement of my al

submit the following facts:
| have been growing alfalfa
successfully for the past SIX
years, and have now 100 acres of
it on my farm. This rs all plant
ed in cultivated rows. By exper-
ience know that this method is
|pre-eminently the best for this
West River country. Not only
is a larger hay crop obtained,
but more particularly the seed
crop is of a much finer quality
and of a better yield than can be
obtained from broadcast plant
ing.
