NEW TYPE FREIGHT
ENGINE IS PLANNED
Burlington May Adopt mi" Model on
Some Of Its Freight
Divisions.

Freight service on the Galesburg
division of the Burlington system
may be revolutionized II the near
future by the adoption Of new type
Of engine, known in railroad terms as
MI" This engine, Of 1O-wheel con-
Meeting type, has a pulling capacity
Of 5000 tons and would lessen the
number of trains on this division.
Railroad officials have been serious
ly considering using that type Of en-
CINE on this division The "O-2" en-
CINE is now used and has a pulling
capacity Of 1000 tons, between Gales.
burg and Bushnell. The IN" class is
the next to largest type of engine on
the Burlington and but few of them
have been in use for general freight
work. They are so constructed as to
be Of more service, at a lesser ex-
pe1se, than the old engines.
If the engines are adopted, it Is
probable the number of trains and
crews could be reduced, and still the
same schedule, if not better one,
carried out.

Have you noticed lately whenever

operators have orders to pronounce
the .threes" carefully and since that
order has become effective there
have been about fifty-seven varieties

One subscriber asked one OF the
central girls recently IL the company
was serving rolls, which was OF
course, very rude way OF asking
her about the trill to the letter 81"
The operators also have orders to
separate the numbers when calling
back to a subscriber after number
has been given. In the olden days,
when telephoning was not such a sci
ence as 1t has come to be, any old
way of repeating numbers was good
enough.
Now, however, when nothing is too
good for the subscribers, the COM
pany is insisting on the operators
carefully and distinctly repeating
each number. This avoids countless
errors, especially where numbers
have similarity in sounds. 4.

tones, II beg pardon" whenever
slight mistake is made in calling

-Nauvoo and Hamilton still insist
that some OF the local breweries are
going to locate on their side of the
river after January 1, 1916, in spite Of
the assertion by the local brewers
that they are not considering such
moves, The Nauvoo Independent
prints the following on this subject:
On January 1st, next, when the pro-
hibitioa law in Iowa goes into effect
1t will be unlawful to manufacture
beer and liquors in that state. This
means practical confiscation of brew
cry properties and those who are not
ruined and wish to retain their trade
will be compelled to seek locations in
states where the manufacture is per-
mitted. While it will be unlawful to
manufacture in Iowa, 1t will not be
unlawful to ship from other states to
the consumer in that state. 1t is prob
able then that the breweries of Keo-
kuk and Burlington will get on this
side of tn, river and keep their Gus
toners supplied as usual, and 1t is
very likely their shipments will be
heavier than usual. If Nauvoo had a
railroad We would no doubt get one
or more Of these industries, but since
by river is not consid-
enad a continuous haul under the in
terstate commerce act, it Is not likely
a brewery would want to locate here,
unless they were prepared to haul
their goods to Niota and Hamilton
and ship by rail.
