sons are third, being led only by Cedar
Rapids and Waterloo. The Ansons have

How it happened I do not know,
but again last week the typo left out
a line in my description Of that loco
motive engine brought from England
for the Boston & Lowell railroad in
1885; the old engineer of whom |
wrote told me that some Of the plates
of the boiler of that engine were weld
ed together; not riveted; just imagine
how long a boiler of one Of the pres
ent day engines would hold the enor-
nous pressure of steam now general
ed in one of them In those early
engines there was no single reversing
lever as now supplied, but two, each
of which had to be reversed to change
the direction of the engine; and they
crossed each other, reminding one Of
the two blades of pair of shears;
and when the engine was in motion
were also i'll motion, back and forth;
| remember to have seen such in the
old engines of the SOS; some had
only one pair of driving wheels, with
cylinders set at an inclined angle,
which were in size about 8xl2; the
boilers domed up front of the cab
and were rather short; three small
cars were load; and the cars of that
day were Of wood and very light and
short compared with those of this
day; sometimes the diminutive engines
were derisively called "a tea-kettle on
wheels" | distinctly recall that on one
occasion when the train had stopped
at the station near my home the en-
CINE could not start the one passenger
car and one small baggage car, up
the slight grade at that point; fireman
| baggage brakeman and con-
ductor were all out of the train and
pushing. and one of them called to me
Here boy, help; you can push a
pOund" and our combined efforts
helped the engine to get under way
One of those machines was helpless
in a slight snow and had to wait til
bigger engine came to the rescue.
An acquaintance of mine, who unit
recently was a Division Superintend
ent on the great New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford railroad, used tC
tell of one experience he had between
Meriden and New Haven in Connect
his train consisted of three of The
small cars of that day; the night be

1t is now heralded TO the world that
the president intends to make national
defense "one of the principal subjects"
of his annual message to Congress In
the ordinary run of things, Congress
will not assemble for four months. so
there is plenty of time for a skillful
campaign of advertising for the presi-
dents change of heart. In one sense,
national defense was zone of the prin-
cipal subjects" of the presidents last
annual message. That is to say, out
of a message containing little more
than ten printed pages, about three
pages were devoted t0 the subject. In
those three pages the country was told
that it had been "misinformed" and
that the national defense had not been
neglected. What are we to have next
December?

INSPECTOR WHITE ON
TRAIL OF OPIUM SMUGGLERS

]. X. White, State Pure Food In
spector, who recently distinguished
himself by capturing gang of opium
smugglers at Idaho Falls, has gone
to North Idaho on business connected
with the case. The opium was snug
gled in from Canada over the north
ern Idaho border, and the state in
spector accomplished what all the U.
S. customs officials stationed in Idaho
and Montana have been trying to do
for the past two years. Arrests so
far made have been confined to China
men to whom the smugglers sold the
drug but it is said that other arrests
inent people will be involved. In
spector White asserts that he has con
elusive evidence against the entire
gang and that there will be important
developments as a result of his visit
north. Evidence leading up to the
capture OF the smugglers was secured
during his recent visit to San Fran
cisco.
The United States maintains a large
force of customs officials to patrol
the international boundary line in
northern Idaho, as in all other boarder
states, but they have never been able
to effectually suppress the smuggling
of opium. The business is so profit
able and inticing that as fast as one
gang is broken up another seems to
spring into eXistense to take its place
The gang just caught seems to have
been very clever in evadinq the of
ficers and the capture is highly credit
able to Inspector White.
